Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
This page is a stub. You could probably expand this page should you wish to do so.

The Guile ego, exclusive to orbs, give you -80 (**) willpower. In exchange, monsters you target with Hexes or other willpower-checks will have an effective -80 willpower.

Strategy

  • Losing willpower is quite risky; paralysis, petrification, and other hexes are very much lethal! However, this item may be safely used in situations where you are sure that these status conditions aren't a major concern. For example, taking on ghost vaults on a cleared floor.
    • In addition: The early Dungeon, the Lair, some of its branches (Spider, Snake, and Shoals), do not have many extremely deliberating hexes. After all, you aren't expected to have sufficent WP yet.
  • Casters specializing in Hexes benefit most, especially as it takes the shield slot. However, any character can benefit with status wands and a little Evocations training.
  • Sadly, it does not affect hexes from your allies, such as Hepliaklqana's ancestor.
