![]() Plus, Daenerys Targaryen often used her dragons. Then again later in the explosion at the Great Sept. There was wildfire, mainly used by the Lannisters in the Battle of King’s Landing. Read on though as we felt there were other deaths that would have been way more painful for the characters involved and with a lot more blood and gore…Īs we know, death by fire wasn’t a rarity in Game of Thrones. Most of which can be found in hotter countries, just like Dorne in Game of Thrones where a lot of the poisons behind deaths originated.Īs his death was well drawn out, painful and had a very gory end shot, it’s definitely deserving of a spot in the top 5. I found from several sources that there are a few wild plants that could do similar damage. The effects are almost instantaneous after being ingested.”Įven though this potion is fictional. It also causes blood to leak out of bodily orifices, such as the mouth, eyes, even through the skin’s pores. To the untrained eye, its effects may be confused with a severe choking fit. Here is the full break down of the damage the Strangler can do: “It causes the throat to swell shut. To give the poison a little bit more context. The victim’s face turns as purple as the little crystal seed from which his death was grown, and so they call it the strangler.” “Dissolved in wine, it makes the muscles of a man’s throat clench tighter than any fist. To quote Oberyn Martell from the season 4 DVD special feature ‘Game of Thrones: History & Lore – Poisons’.

He was killed by ‘The Strangler’ poison at his wedding, administered by Olenna Tyrell and Little Finger. But, the most gruesome, drawn-out, and let’s be honest, welcomed scene was the poisoning of Joffrey Baratheon, portrayed by Jack Gleeson.

Instead of burning the victim’s airways with steam, it would have produced steam around his brain and through his ears – brutal! Now, even though it’s a slightly different punishment, the effects could be the same. They found that the exact cause of death “ is probably mediated by the development of steam and consequent thermal injury to the airways.” Scientists in the same article carried out and experiment. They attacked the settlement of Logrono and executed the gold-hungry governor by pouring molten gold down his throat.” Native Indians of the Jivaro tribe, were unscrupulously taxed in their gold trade. But, using molten gold as a punishment isn’t as unique as you may think.Ī 2003 study by ‘The Journal of Clinical Pathology’ tells us that “ in 1599, a Spanish governor in early colonial Ecuador suffered this fate. And it set the way for more ‘out of the ordinary’ demises to come. ![]() The Golden Crown was the first of the really painful-looking deaths. But in season one, audiences were appeased by Viserys, played by Harry Lloyd, getting his comeuppance and the crown he wanted… just not in the way he wanted.
