- Description of the Hand Torch.

The Hand Torch is one of the many items presented in Oddworld: Soulstorm.

Overview
The Hand Torch is a handheld electric torchlight and is the last item found in Soulstorm within and only Necrum Mines.

It acts as, essentially, the upgrade to the Flare. It's also one of the few tools capable of scaring Sleeches, with the other being Flares. It lasts for a short time before needing to recharge, but it lights up much better than the Flare could do. However, it only lights up what is in front of Abe, making him vulnerable to being attacked by Sleeches from the rear, whereas the Flare makes Abe safe from all fronts.
