 Berserking is best done with the following precautions:
-*Be on top of, or very close to (no more than 2 tiles away), an [[stairs|upstair]]. If new monsters appear, or if the fight is going poorly, you can always [[stair dance]] the monster up. Try luring monsters to a staircase before activating berserk.
+*Lure enemies to a known area, ideally very close to an [[stairs|upstair]]. This reduces the risk of new monsters appearing, and if near the stair, you can retreat upwards.
 *If you're going to berserk, do it early. Berserking at 50% HP is likely to be fatal.
 *You shouldn't berserk enemies that can [[blink]]. As time spent chasing a blinking enemy is time spent not attacking, the berserk will run out.
