👉 A Graveyard, also known as a Morgue, is a special room filled with undead creatures and graves.
ℹ️ Description
A Graveyard is a chilling special room that contains a large number of undead monsters, such as ghosts, zombies, mummies, and vampires. The floor is typically dotted with graves and sometimes contains chests with loot. It poses a significant threat due to the life-draining attacks common among higher-level undead.
🗺️ Generation
Graveyards have a 1 in 6 chance of generating on eligible levels starting from dungeon level 12. They are always generated unlit, regardless of the level's overall lighting.
🏆 Strategy
- Undead Turning: The spell of turn undead or the abilities of the Priest and Knight roles are highly effective in a graveyard, instantly pacifying, fleeing, or destroying many of the inhabitants.
- Level Drain: Beware of vampires and wraiths, as they can drain your character's levels. Having drain resistance is strongly recommended before fighting these monsters in melee.
- Looting Graves: You can dig up graves using a pick-axe or wand of digging to find hidden loot. However, digging up a grave always carries the risk of angering a restless ghost or zombie.
