The '''figurine of a ziggurat''' is an [[Evocation|evocable]] item which creates a portal to a [[ziggurat]] upon use, being consumed in the process. A single figurine is guaranteed in the third floor of [[the Tomb]], while a figurine generates on the last, 27th, floor of each ziggurat.

Name Figurine of a ziggurat
Icon
A small figurine made of some strange material, shaped like a stepped pyramid. It is remarkably detailed – almost like a real, vast structure, shrunk somehow smaller than a human hand.

The figurine of a ziggurat is an evocable item which creates a portal to a ziggurat upon use, being consumed in the process. A single figurine is guaranteed in the third floor of the Tomb, while a figurine generates on the last, 27th, floor of each ziggurat.

The figurine serves a surprisingly useful secondary purpose: creating a ziggurat and jumping in is an effective escape route from danger. This takes two turns, and you could even meet a pan lord on the first floor, but Zig:1 is usually safer than whatever you were fighting. Be aware that you cannot place a portal on top of some dungeon features like shops and stairs, though deep water and lava are valid tiles. Also note that this application is limited in scope, as Tomb:3 and Zig:27 are often reserved for the very end of the game.

Figurines of a ziggurat cannot be used while inside a ziggurat:

Finish your current ziggurat first!

When a ziggurat has already been completed in the current game, figurines of a ziggurat will display as a +X figurine of a ziggurat, where X is the number of completed ziggurats. The colour of the figurine changes too:

  • 0-2 ziggurats: "It is surrounded by a gentle glow."
  • 3-8 ziggurats: "It is surrounded by a bright glow."
  • 9-26 ziggurats: "It is surrounded by a dazzling glow."
  • 27 or more ziggurats: "It is surrounded by a blinding glow."

Unlike all other evocable items, it can be evoked even after sacrificing Artifice to Ru.

History

  • Prior to 0.20, the figurine didn't change colour when you completed ziggurats.
