Lava behaves much like water in the Jungle, but is much deadlier. Lava kills the Spelunker and all enemies on contact. Lava periodically produces Magma Men. It also produces light, visible in Dark levels. Lava is the only thing in the game which can kill Olmec. If the Spelunker has obtained Vlad's Amulet, he or she will be unaffected by the Lava and the Magma Man it produces. This allows the Spelunker to freely move through the Lava as if it were water. Unlike the rest of items, the Scepter and the Jetpack will not be destroyed if sank into lava.
