Old Flames are enemies that spawn around the Underworld. They resemble armless walking orange-reddish flames, with two dark rocky legs. They have faces that are simply fiery and basic. Old Flames seem to have a noticeable rocky nose that is jagged and short.
Old Flames walk around the Underworld and kick you with their legs, offering some strong knockback. Being made completely out of fire, they are entirely immune to fire attacks.
Conversely to their fire resistance, Water attacks are very strong against the Old Flames, like the Aqua Scepter or Water Bolt. Nimbus Rod also works. An ultimate killer is water, so having a water bucket works wonders. Old Flames disintegrate in water, and are repeatedly damaged by rain.
Make sure to strike the legs, which are their weak spot. Old Flames are agile and can jump well, so they can pose a threat.
Old Flames drop Magma Stones more frequently.
In Expert and Master Mode, Old Flames randomly fling embers in multiple directions.
An ice variant called Freeze Flames will spawn in the Hardmode Tundra. They are blue and have long icy noses. They are stronger versions that do not die in water or rain, and can be killed with traditional weapons to their legs. They are much faster and deal Frostburn on touch. Freeze Flames drop Frost Cores rarely.
A Hardmode corrupt variant also exists, called Malicious Flames, which are green and have noses that look like inverted crosses. They jump around a lot and have the ability to walk up walls. They drop cursed flames, and deal Cursed Inferno on touch.
A Crimson variant does exist, but it's made out of Ichor, and is a bouncing Super Mario World Fire Snake - like enemy called Ichor Stream, which is a series of yellow droplets that bounces like a snake, and inflicts Ichor. Drops it as well.
