    Shoot em with your most powerful wand when you see them. Continue clearing the level as usual and shoot it again every time you see it.

    I guess bees or mirror images could help you with keeping it at one place for a few more rounds.

    Throw a poison seed (sorrowmoss) at them then throw a random object to trigger the planted seed. Go about your business while the poison works.

    I also use teleport (fadeleaf) and vertigo (stormvine) seeds in a similar way on regular piranhas if I don’t have ethereal chains or other fishing solution.

    Depends upon class and inventory. Use ranged weapons - bow, whip, spear. Don’t use bombs. A potion of mind vision is a good way to track where they have teleported. Once dead, get the meat as it is very powerful.

        Elastic weapons and Wand of Blast are good for knocking fish about. When you do it to a fly and your potion of healing goes crashing into a pit below, not so good. First time I used the wand was on a gnoll. We were on a bridge. I watched him go spinning into the deapths to his death… me following right behind. Chains are excellent for pulling fish out, agreed. Also, for those without a means to range attack or pull/blast, while it won’t kill them, a potion of invisibilty can get you past them.

      Blast wave doesn’t work on phantom piranha, as far as I know. They just teleport the moment you hit them. Chains should work though…
