Useful Info

Deep dwarf death knights are devout followers of Yredelemnul, using his abilities to siphon away your HP, raise the dead, and reflect your attacks back on you. Like all deep dwarves, they do not regenerate health naturally. They are occasionally found accompanied by a pack of undead allies in the Crypt.

Tips & Tricks

  • Their tendency to raise dead units as zombies can prolong fights. If there are raisable corpses around (in the Crypt, this likely means those of uniques), prioritize death knights.
  • Their Mirror Damage can be deadly: don't attack them while Mirror Damage is up. Be very careful when using area-of-effect spells when they are around, particularly extremely powerful ones such as Fire or Ice Storm. It is a good idea, particularly if you are using console, to check them using x to be sure that they aren't mirroring damage.
