Flamethrower Guide — Moldwasher
The flamethrower handles burn-trigger objectives—mushrooms, cockroaches, and specific mission objects that ignite rather than wash away.
Burn Triggers
Cockroach missions require burning the insect before normal cleaning proceeds. Mushroom clusters and dinner fight components react to fire in specific phases. Hold fire until the burn animation completes, then switch back to washer for ash and residue.
Continuing to burn after the trigger completes wastes time—watch for visual state change indicating burn phase done.
Achievement Connection
The Toasty! achievement relates to flamethrower usage. Rice-related burn challenges connect to Yakimeshi achievement. See Achievements page for details.
