The Nitroglycerin is used to clear the iceberg at the far end of the map.
It spawns in the old expedition camp past a pack of wolves.
It can be used to open all 20 holes on the ship or to damage any creatures around it when it goes off.
Carrying the Nitroglycerin requires an inventory slot and applies a large amount of weight.
The Nitroglycerin has a regenerating health pool represented by its icon in your inventory
Running with the Nitroglycerin will deplete its health as will any damage applied to one dropped on the ground.
At half health the Nitroglycerin will begin to smoke, giving off more smoke the lower its health.
Once the Nitroglycerin's health reaches 0 a crack noise will sound and it will begin to hiss. A few moments later it will explode.
Any fall damage while carrying the Nitroglycerin or dropping the Nitroglycerin form a height that would apply fall damage will crack the Nitroglycerin, beginning the count down until it explodes.
With proper timing, one can sprint the Nitroglycerin's health to 0, drop it, and turn around and run. With proper timing the individual will only take 1/8th of their health in damage, though more commonly they will lose 1/2.
