Brightflame Cactus

Brightflame Cacti are a type of cactus that appear in Hollow Knight: Vessel of the Desert. They grow in large numbers throughout the Searing Deserts, regardless of the location.

Overview
Brightflame Cacti are mostly green, with a few hints of yellow. They are described to be shaped like flames. It is mentioned by an unknown NPC that the touch of a spine on the cactus feels like fire. The fluids of a Brightflame Cactus are incredibly flammable, becoming explosive if in contact with fire. This cactus can mostly be found in places like the Icy Wastelands, Desert Surface, and Searing Caverns.

Effects
Contact with the cactus deals one mask of damage. The cacti can be broken and will not respawn. Breaking the cacti will drop Cactus Shells, which can be sold to an unknown NPC in exchange for Amber. Alongside the Cactus Shells, Brightflame Fluids will drop when breaking a cactus, which can be collected in Glass Bottles and sold to said NPC for more Amber than Cactus Shells. If Brightflame Fluids are ignited in any way, they will explode, making the Cactus Shells and the Brightflame Fluids uncollectable. The explosion will deal two masks of damage.

Drops
When broken, the cactus will drop Cactus Shells and Brightflame Fluids. The amount of items dropped will be relative to the size of the cactus.

These drops can also be found from Brightflame Sentinels, which give out the most drops.
