==Useful Info==
'''Sigmund the Dreaded''' is a deadly [[unique]] [[human]], and one of the earliest uniques you can encounter. He is always generated with a powerful [[scythe]], a [[robe]], and several brutal spells. He may also spawn with a [[wand of lightning]], [[wand of teleportation]], [[wand of draining]], or [[wand of paralysis]], but he's dangerous enough even without those. Sigmund is notorious for being one of the deadliest uniques in all of ''DCSS''.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Sigmund's damage output in melee will be devastating for low-level characters, but his biggest threats are in his spell list. An invisible Sigmund is almost unbeatable in early-game melee, his Throw Flame lets him brutalize you at range, and expect a swift end if he confuses you and you're out of [[potions of curing]].
*Avoiding Sigmund is usually the wisest thing you can do. If you find him sleeping early on, just walk away and return once you've gained a few levels and found some better gear.
*There are some options for low-level characters who want to take him out immediately. [[Mephitic Cloud]] will leave him unable to use magic and almost hopeless in melee, while a few zaps from a good wand will annihilate him. A [[wand of polymorph]] may also turn him into a less deadly form and will probably make him drop his scythe, but it's less of a safe bet; Sigmund the [[centaur (monster)|centaur]] is ''much'' deadlier than normal.
*If all else fails and you have no choice but to engage him early, don't be afraid to use any useful potions you've identified. [[Berserk]], [[haste]], or [[might]] go a long way toward helping you take him down, and a few [[potions of heal wounds]] can keep you in the fight longer than you'd otherwise last.
