![]() ![]() Maces and war hammers inflict very high damage but require an extra turn afterward to recover after a successful attack. Axes and war axes hit all adjacent enemies. Spears and war pikes hit an adjacent enemy and the one behind it. Some weapons have different attack patterns. The only way to raise your own strength is by drinking a potion of strength. The strength requirement can be lowered by enchanting the weapon or armor with a scroll of enchantment. You can equip an item even if you don't exceed the strength requirement, but your combat prowess or defense will suffer proportionally. Weapons and armor have strength requirements, which are specified as "" after the item name. In any case, a Scroll of Identify will instantly reveal the item's runic enhancement, if it has one. The rest will be flagged as "unknown runic" when you've used them for long enough. Some of them will be revealed when they activate. If you use the item for long enough, its enchantments will be revealed.Īrmor and weapons that are found in the dungeon with positive or negative enchantments might also have rare and powerful runic abilities. When you first equip a weapon or suit of armor, you will not know if it already has magical enchantments. Cursed rings can be especially deadly to a character without means of removing the curse. Enchanting an item or protecting a suit of armor or a weapon will also remove a curse from that item. Reading a scroll of remove curse will lift curses from all of the items in your inventory at once. They impose no cost to nutrition or otherwise, but only two may be worn at the same time.Ĭertain weapons, suits of armor and rings are cursed they will start with negative enchantments and cannot be removed while the curse remains. Rings impart a magical effect on their wearer as long as they are worn. If you zap with a staff when it has no charges, nothing will happen, but the maximum number of charges will be permanently revealed. ![]() ![]() This is particularly useful for the Staff of Blinking, since its maximum distance will be illustrated while aiming the staff. If you use a Scroll of Identify to identify a staff, its current and maximum charges will be permanently revealed. They have a maximum number of charges and will recharge from empty to full over a set period of time - which means that increasing the maximum number of charges also increases the speed with which a single charge regenerates. Unlike wands, staves are permanent magical items. If you find an item you don't recognize, select it from your inventory to inspect it. If you encounter a monster that you haven't seen before, examine the monster with the mouse or by pressing tab. Enchanting a wand gives it additional disposable charges. Enchanting a staff increases both its effect and its maximum number of charges. Enchanting a ring increases the power of its magical effect. Enchanting a suit of armor increases its effectiveness and also lowers its strength requirement. Enchanting a weapon provides a boost to both its damage and accuracy and also lowers its strength requirement. Using one will permanently make a single item more powerful. Scrolls of Enchantment are unique to Brogue and are indispensable to the success of any character. For the truly skillful who desire further challenge, depths below 26 contain three lumenstones each, items which confer an increased score upon victory. Your goal is to travel to the 26th subterranean floor of the dungeon, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and return with it to the surface. Other commands are as listed in the help screen, which you can access by typing a question mark or clicking on the "Menu" button at the bottom of the screen. The arrow keys will also work, but they do not allow diagonal movement. Move around the dungeon with the mouse, the vi-keys (hjklyubn) or keypad keys.
