Try again because i take my thralls into the volcano.
How do i do it?
I walk. When you walk your thrall will not teleport into lava.
Its still dangerous but it can be done.
Its how i get more thralls for my Wheel of Pain.

If you run a kinda ânormal circleâ at the volcano and dont go off-road to farm obsidian, gold or ash, then volcano is safe.
Going offroad or going to the dungeon, can lead to funny things.
And the problem with the dungeon is, is that if you come via obelisk to the volcano, there is no way without building to the dungeon.
Only dragonmouth passage is connecting directly.

from obelisk you can run around to a spot above where the dragon mouth comes into the volcano and jump/climb down there to the mouth, and continue on to the dungeon

And thats how you lose a thrall to the lava 
I build a stairway done to the path of Dragonmouth⊠Refreshing this is a pain in the â â â

yea i used to build stairs down too, but then every time i got purged, it was idiots dying in lava all around my stairs.
Hopefully I never get a purge at the stairs there. My volcano outpost is in the gas-fields⊠And even a purge there, many attackers will run through lava.
Funny thing: the first round started at a save spot and came to me without any problem. All other waves started next to the obelisk and instead of going the normal way, they run through the lava?! Good thing was, that the Ice Dragon also did it and lost a big chunk of his health.

Every time I read things about the Volcano and followers there are all these excuses about well do not take thralls then, first its a game about being the master, thralls are yours to follow and obey until they get near lava then all bets are off, its a bad bug and it should have been fixed the first patch yet 2 years later we still lose thralls if we take them. We really need to stop telling people to not take them and fix the dang pathing for thralls in the volcano or make them not feel it but its not important enough to get attention and fixed. So if they do not fix it they should make it a no thrall zone, fixed and done and no more loss of thralls by anyone who is new, does not come to the forums to find out is been a bug forever and not likely to ever get fixed.

Only fixing pathing helps. Why should a normal NPC run through lava? Or the whole purge?
I see one of the 2 wandering spawns next to the shrine dying of lava quite often.
The one trading guy the same, but he is unkillable⊠That dude also likes to run around in lava. I think he sells ice-cubesâŠ

actually since they changed the lava to not insta-kill i had considered this as fixed. if youâre running around near lava with a thrall, keep them filled with food and keep an eye on them. if they get too low on health i stop and wait for them to heal up before running around any more. it would be funny/informative if they screamed when touching it so you knew they were in trouble.

NPCs or the purge still shouldnt use the lava as a shortcutâŠ

I have found this to work. And if i need to offroad for some gold/ash, i tell my thrall to stop follwing, mine the obsidian rock and then go back to the follower and have it follow. Keeps it out of âharmsâ way a little more. You couldl say i social distance from it on occasion when in the Volcano. Just remember, use âstop followingâ, not âstand guardâ!!!

I really wish Iâd paid more attention to that distinction early on. Wouldâve massively cut down on retrieval trips.
