👉 A Throne Room is a special room that contains a throne and a large number of monsters guarding it.
ℹ️ Description
A Throne Room is a special room easily identified by the presence of a throne in the center and a multitude of sleeping monsters surrounding it. The room usually contains a chest with loot, making it a lucrative but dangerous area for early game characters.
🪑 The Throne
The centerpiece of the room is the throne, which is what makes this special room so remarkable. Sitting on a throne can trigger a wide variety of magical effects, both beneficial and dangerous.
When you sit on a throne, there is a chance that it will simply feel comfortable or out of place, but it will often trigger one of several random magical effects. Some of the possible outcomes include:
- Beneficial Effects: Gaining a permanent attribute increase, receiving a wish or improved luck, gaining the ability to see invisible, fully healing, or identifying items in your inventory.
- Harmful Effects: Suffering a permanent attribute loss, being shocked with electricity, being cursed or blinded, getting confused, being forcibly teleported, or mysteriously losing all of the gold in your inventory.
- Special Events: The throne may summon a host of court monsters to your location, or it may trigger a genocide effect against a specific monster species.
⚠️ Warning: There is a 1 in 3 chance that the throne will vanish in a "puff of logic" after you sit on it, meaning you can only use each throne a limited number of times before it disappears forever!
🗺️ Generation
Throne rooms can be generated randomly in the Dungeons of Doom. They have a 1 in 6 chance of generating on levels eligible for special rooms. The room is always lit and the floor is completely filled with monsters that are generated asleep, provided you do not make too much noise.
The monsters in a throne room are often led by a prominent monster acting as the ruler (like an Orc king or an Ogre king), accompanied by their retinue.
