Geysers
Geysers are wells of hot water that erupt on the Islands in The Devil's Roar. Some Geysers are permanent fixtures, denoted by clusters of rocks emitting steam, which erupt repeatedly and perpetually. However, most Geysers spawn on random spots of land, erupt 2-3 times, and then dissipate. These emergent Geysers only appear on soft/diggable terrain, thus making rocky areas safe spots. There are periods when the Geysers are more and less active, and although Geysers alone are not a signal for a Volcanic Eruption, their activity tends to be higher while one is occuring.
When the Geysers erupt, they will launch any Pirates standing on the pockets high into the air. When Pirates are launched by a Geyser, they will typically take fall damage, but crafty Pirates can maneuver themselves to land on slopes, higher ground, or in water in order to mitigate the damage.
Any Skeletons standing above erupting Geysers will be killed, with Skeleton Captains dying from two to three Geyser hits. Therefore, Geysers can be used as a tool to easily complete Order of Souls Voyages in the Roar. Geysers will also agitate the Chest of Rage, detonate any Gunpowder Barrels they hit, and deal damage to Rowboats.
Geysers can appear outside of The Devil's Roar during the Ashen Lord World Event signified by a fiery swirling Tornado. During their final phase, Ashen Lords can summon a volcanic eruption on the island itself, during which geysers are also present. Once the Ashen Lord is defeated, Geysers will appear around them, helping Treasure emerge.
