Pit of Goblin poison and fungus guide

Choose who needs the water

Look at who is affected before using the bottle. Drinking is the direct option for your own status. To help a friend, throw the bottle where its water can splash that player. Tell them where you are aiming so they can stop moving long enough to be splashed.

Situation	What to do	What to check afterward
You have Poison or Fungus	Drink from the Water Bottle	Check that the effect has cleared before going deeper
A teammate has either effect	Tell them you are throwing water and splash them	Have the affected player confirm the effect cleared
A throw missed the affected goblin	Recheck the player before moving on	Plan the next action around the effect they still have
A mushroom trap blocks the route	Destroy it if the route is worth clearing	Check for a reward and keep a clear way back

The developer lists both effects for drinking and splashing. If the team has no bottle to hand, make space to regroup or change routes. The patch does not give a drop location or guarantee that every expedition supplies a bottle.

Clear a trap before committing the crew

The 1.0 release added the Undergrowth, an overgrown biome with new traps. When a mushroom trap sits across the team’s route, decide whether you need that route before sending the loot carriers through. Patch 1.0.5.0 made mushroom traps destructible and says destruction can yield a reward. Treat the reward as a possible extra when choosing whether to clear a path.

If somebody has already been affected, call out the player and the status first. Clear the effect with water if you have it, then decide whether to destroy the trap or take another route. Keeping those decisions separate makes it easier to tell what helped.

How Fungus changed in 1.0.5.0

Friendly Foe reduced the severity of spores and the reach and frequency of Fungal Goblin coughing. Fungal Goblin hits now apply fewer spores. The same update addressed a bug involving an infected goblin left outside when the Bucket departed, which could produce repeated noise and spawn more Fungal Goblins.

After treating an affected teammate, have them confirm their status and call the team back together before leaving. If coughing or repeated spawning persists, record the build, the affected player’s status and whether the Bucket had already left. Those details distinguish a missed splash from the departure case the patch describes.

Before the next descent

Use the Journal introduced in 1.0 to review your discoveries between expeditions. On the next run, agree on a short call for Poison or Fungus and who can spare a Water Bottle. If a teammate is missing from the lobby or appears in two different places to different players, use the co-op troubleshooting guide to identify the connection symptom.
