| Tips
| - It is a risky strategy though.
** This is also possible with an upgraded Ring of Haste, or a Rogue with an upgraded Ring of Shadows.
- It is much better to use the Potion of Invisibility that spawns at the same depth as them.
- If you insist on slaying them, open the door by throwing something unbreakable into it, and then use ranged attacks.
- REMEMBER, you will not get any EXP. from them.
* In order to slay them one by one, open the door of the flooded vault by throwing an item at it & attack them from a distance .
** You can also burn the door.
** A Wand of Amok can be used here to good effect.
** Because they're aquatic and tend to bunch together, a Wand of Lightning is also very effective.
* Using a Scroll of Lullaby can buy an extra turn to escape.
* A Seed of Earthroot is beneficial for fighting the piranhas.
* If you are playing the Freerunner sub-class, depending on the size of the room & the initial placement of the fish, it is sometimes possible to just outrun the piranha with minimal damage.
- This will result in the message "You hear something died in the distance."
- * Fight giant piranhas ONLY if you have good equipment & are confident, as they are very strong.
* Beware of smaller flooded vaults, as the fish may move after you have walked passed, blocking your retreat until your Potion of Invisibility runs out.
* For every flooded vault room, there will always be a Potion of Invisibility at the same depth.
** Drink your Potion of Invisibility before opening the door, or the piranha will rush over & block your path.
** While invisible, move one step at a time. If you move several steps automatically, a piranha may move in front of you, making you bump into it & ending your invisibility.
** If the effect of the Potion of Invisibility runs out whilst getting the item at the end of the room, use a Scroll of Teleportation, or Wand of Teleportation , to get out.
* If they are teleported with a Wand of Teleportation or Seed of Fadeleaf and they land on a non-water tile, they’ll immediately die.
- If you do not get this message, the piranha probably landed in water & is still alive . Consequently, this is not a recommended approach at Flooded depths.
** A Wand of Reach can be used similarly, by switching places with them .
* They don't position themselves beneath Mystery Meat
* If you don't have an Invisibility potion, carefully placed sheep via Wand of Flock can cordon them off, allowing you safe passage to the guarded item.
* Avoid trying to fight Giant Piranhas through melee, as they are very strong.
