Hey, I have been testing what will be recorded if a Stuffed Dragon kills you. Tibia wiki notes the following: 'EXTREMELY rare occasions it will damage you for 1 hitpoint and say "You... will.... burn!!". 

I have been trying to activate this on a character who has 1 hp to test it myself, however I have spent over 3 hours pushing a command bar key to activate the damage effect to no avail. I was wondering if anyone has managed to test his or can confirm what will be written in the death log?

Great question, retagged this under death. Will definitely attempt this. If my memory serves me right in the past I've seen a Stuffed Dragon say this quote but don't remember if it actually hurt my character. I wonder if it works in protection zone, or not ;o) So if you're standing in a house I advise against it, this might work like the Noxious Claw. Also, it might be listed as fire if you die by it. Just my assumption but I hope we can test it out for you later!

Hmm I didn't think of the PZ zone factor. I know the fire animation will occur without the specific 'I will burn you' text (since the dragon does a couple of different animations), but the PZ might be preventing the attack animation itself. I normally do my testing in the castle with the queen of Carlin since you can trigger the guards to attack you down to 1 hp, but it is a pz zone. I was also thinking it might be death by fire or 'something evil', but how cool would it be if it was listed as a Stuffed Dragon. Let me know how you go mate :)

Also, thanks for the re-tag :)

Just emailed cip cause I tried for around and hour and couldn't make it trigger, while on a "healthier" character it burnt me in almost no time after I started trying haha. Lets see what they have to say about it and if they do give us an answer. My guessing is the deadlist will say "Killed by Fire"

Did you actually received a damage from it? Because I did trigger it throusand's of time and no damage was received same as " you will burn! "notification, only effect for other two notifications. Please verify as we were investigating it here:

yes, took me around 10 minutes trying on my main char. Unfortunately I didn't took a screenshot, I will keep trying to see if I can make it happen again. I was outside PZ, Open pvp server, I only used one. Didn't think of using more than one before cause I didn't read that other question post before haha, now I know. It did say "You will burn!" in orange

Unbelievable. I was already slowly losing faith that this was even possible. We are close to solving this riddle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of you. @Idontknow how many times have you used Stuffed Dragon so far?

Let me start by saying that this is one question that has not given me peace of mind. I have tried many different approaches to producing this extremely rare effect. Believe me. Getting this effect was not easy. I made over 60,000 attempts to use Stuffed Dragon, and not one of them produced the effect:

You... will.... burn!!

But after many attempts I finally managed to find the answer to this question. It turns out that I was probably using Stuffed Dragon in the wrong way. At first, I kept my Stuffed Dragons in my backpack and used them with a hotkey.

I used this method to make those 60,000 attempts. Without success. In another question on TibiaQA user Smucker presented a screenshot on which we can clearly see how Stuffed Dragon causes the sound "You... will.... burn!!". I will honestly admit that this surprised me a lot. Smucker also presented his method for causing this ectremely rare effect. It turns out that probably the Stuffed Dragon when it is used must be placed not in the backpack but on the ground.

So I put some Stuffed Dragons on the ground and started researching this method. During testing, I used a character that had 1HP to be able to answer just the question above.

I do not know the exact number of attempts I have made with this method. But certainly the number was more than a 1000. And it's finally done!

Yes! A fire effect appeared on my character, and the Stuffed Dragon made a matching sound. To my surprise, however, I did not die.

As you can see in the screenshot below, I was not wearing any Equipment that could protect me from the fire.The screenshot below also shows my character's HP and Server Log.

As you can see this is proof that I did not receive any damage and therefore we can already answer the question clearly:

Nothing will appear in Death Log because using Stuffed Dragon cannot kill you.

This is awesome! Glad to see my answer helped! Was actually working on this question myself trying to enhance my research with more trials at the same time. Even though you did not count, the rough estimate helps to know that the 0.05% chance of getting the "You...will...burn!" message might be not so far from reality. Congrats on solving this one! We can all now have some piece of mind

Good job they could've fixed this like when poison used to be able to kill characters or like the fireworks rockets

So far it seems like it won't happen if you have 1 HP remaining, yet i will try this untill i get tired of it, I am curious too.

I'll edit my answer if i get an update on this!

Interesting! I am going to do some more testing when I return from work and publish any findings here as well. I will try this theory out as well :)

Sounds like a good theory but in order to reach 2 damage we need like 100% weakness right? I am not sure if there's even 10% weakness to fire jumps to 2 damage or stays at 1.

Looking foward for the theory testing tho.

Has anyone tried this with increased fire damage penalty yet?
