This FAQ answers common questions about runs, wand editing, flasks, achievements and Holy Mountains in Noita, a magical action roguelite by Nolla Games set in a world where every pixel is physically simulated. [Steam store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/881100/Noita/)

## Why did the next run have a different layout?

The world is procedurally generated, so each run takes place in a unique world, and death is permanent. [Steam store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/881100/Noita/) A hotfix on 22 October 2020 made the game show the world seed and build every time a new game starts. [Patch notes, 22 October 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201022)

The store page tells players to use what they have learned to get further on the next attempt. [Steam store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/881100/Noita/) Recognizing an enemy or remembering how two materials reacted can help, even when the next world does not repeat the same rooms.

## Can I rearrange spells anywhere?

Wands can be edited in a Holy Mountain. [Patch notes, 26 September 2019](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20190926) The 30 March 2021 update made Nightmare Mode give players the Tinker With Wands Everywhere perk by default. [Patch notes, 30 March 2021](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20210330)

The 8 April 2024 update let players drop spells from the inventory at all times. [Patch notes, 8 April 2024](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20240408) [[Wand Building]] covers wand properties, the perks that concern wands and the controls for moving spells.

## What can I do with a flask?

Throwing, spraying and drinking are separate actions: the 28 April 2020 update swapped the default Throw and Spray buttons and disabled drinking while swimming. [Patch notes, 28 April 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20200428) Two days later, a hotfix let gamepad players change the spray/throw scheme in Options. [Patch notes, 30 April 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20200430)

The 11 October 2019 update added a potion fullness display next to the icon and a setting that shows the name of the hovered material or item next to the mouse. [Patch notes, 11 October 2019](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20191011) The 28 April 2020 update made the flask icon in the item info box show the contents. [Patch notes, 28 April 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20200428) Potion reactions were added on 8 April 2024, and the same update began displaying potion content percentages. [Patch notes, 8 April 2024](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20240408)

Check the material and your control bindings before using an unfamiliar flask. On 24 November 2020, Nolla Games attempted to make acid slightly easier to tell apart from toxic sludge. [Patch notes, 24 November 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201124)

## Why did an achievement fail to unlock?

Steam's achievement list gives no conditions: each official description repeats the achievement's name. [Steam achievement list](https://steamcommunity.com/stats/881100/achievements/) The 28 April 2020 patch notes state that the Victory achievement cannot be earned if mods have been active during a run, and that note names only Victory. [Patch notes, 28 April 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20200428)

[[Reached Coal Pits]] covers that achievement.

## What does a Holy Mountain offer?

A Holy Mountain's heart restores full health; the 11 October 2019 update made it raise maximum HP by 10 as well. [Patch notes, 11 October 2019](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20191011) Holy Mountains have spell shops, and the 24 November 2020 update doubled the spells for sale in them. [Patch notes, 24 November 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201124) Perk options there can be rerolled in exchange for money. [Steam post "Noita update #6", 5 November 2019](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/881100/view/1589135317239219145)

Wands can be edited there as well. [Patch notes, 26 September 2019](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20190926) Leave with a wand whose behavior you understand.
