Giving the Far-Walker fresh water allows him to slake his thirst, but giving him salt water pisses him off. Doing it enough times makes him kill you.

Getting back attacked is quite possibly the most horribly thing that can happen to you. It is entirely possible that you could get Ambushed and then get wiped out before you could do anything. In ''[[ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne]]'' there's a skill that prevents back attacks. On Normal mode, it's not really worth one of your eight precious skill slots. On Hard mode ("A level of difficulty suitable for those wishing to experience the thrill of death."), it's ''essential'', mainly because back attacks deal an additional 1.5x damage.

* {{Minecraft}} has plenty of these. The stupidest (and most avoidable) is digging straight up, especially when you're very deep underground, which often leads to gravel, sand, or water landing on your head, suffocating you. Or ''lava''. Another common death is digging straight down, either as an efficient way to mine or while working on some building project, and then you realize there's a gaping chasm below you... Ever since the "creep" mechanic was introduced (which allows you to stand on the very edge of something, making it easier to build bridges, etc.), death by falling has increased dramatically when people accidentally let up on the SHIFT key and go plummeting hundreds of feet to the ground!

*** That qualification there is an interesting note; technically, it's true, but it's rare to ever see anyone win one that way; this includes an example in one book where the story of how the dude got removed from the gene pool was being related ''by the guy himself'' ([[TooMuchInformation and his silicon gonads, apparently]]), which should give it some extra points just because he's willing to cop to it.

It is entirely possible that you could get Ambushed and then get wiped out before you could do anything. In ''[[ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne]]'' there's a skill that prevents back attacks. On Normal mode, it's not really worth one of your eight precious skill slots. On Hard mode ("A level of difficulty suitable for those wishing to experience the thrill of death."), it's ''essential'', mainly because back attacks deal an additional 1.5x damage.
