This can useful for dangerous locations such as the Frenzy-Flaming Tower. The affected creatures are: Lone Wolves, Dogs, Giant Dogs (only those that do not have glowing red eyes), Boars, Sheep, Bears (not Lesser Runebears), Rats, Giant Rats, Basilisks, and Crystal Snails. If spotted by a creature, the creature will stay focused on the player (as if they are readying to attack), but will keep their distance and not attack. If the player attacks the creature or approaches too closely for too long, the creature will attack the player as normal. Putting the torch away and pulling it back out again will cause the creature to cease attacking the player once more.

• Some enemies have scripted ambushes, where they attack even if a player has the Torch out (ex: Basilisks). They will stop attacking after the ambush, however.

• The torch's effect remains active while riding Torrent, regardless of the hand that is holding it.
