From Ashenzari's Archive
Revision as of 07:54, 26 June 2020 by imported>Bwijn (upd 0.25, saw it in tournament, no change)
Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A shrewd and wizened orc who has devoted her life to chronicling the bloody history of her people. She claims to know the names and deeds of every last orc who lost their life in their great exodus into the Dungeon, and even if this is a lie, she nonetheless seems to be on a first-name basis with many of them.

More than any other orc still breathing, she knows the blood and sacrifice it took to make this place a refuge for her kind. She will not brook it being intruded upon by anyone - least of all you.

Useful Info

Nergalle the Soulbinder is a unique orc necromancer. Although capable of inflicting negative energy damage and draining you, her biggest threat lies in the spectral orcs she constantly summons and hastes.

If you are a worshiper of Beogh, it is possible to convert Nergalle to your cause.

Tips & Tricks

  • The threat level of her spectral orcs varies tremendously based on what gets summoned; a spectral orc warrior may not be too threatening, but a spectral orc warlord can be devastating. It may be a hassle, but examine her summons to know just how afraid you should be.
  • Nergalle is actually one of the better orc allies you can acquire through Beogh. She has a decent direct damage spell, regularly surrounds enemies with powerful summoned allies, and hastes your other allies. Try not to let her die.

History

  • Prior to 0.19, Nergalle could cast Death's Door, rendering her incapable of dying for several turns.
  • Prior to 0.13, Nergalle could not appear in the Lair.
  • Prior to 0.8, she could not summon spectral orcs and simply pelted you with spells.
