 *The spell [[Harpoon Shot]] coupled with his [[throwing net]]s can make it extremely difficult to escape Harold, as he will repeatedly pull you towards him and trap you there whilst pummeling you with his competent melee skills.
-*Watch out for his [[Sentinel's Mark]], which will often have an extremely high success rate (about 80%) unless you've found [[MR]]-enhancing equipment. If he tags you with it, you'll have enemies from all over the entire floor showing up while Harold keeps you pinned down. As a result, it may be best to fight Harold on a cleared floor where there will be no enemies for him to attract.

As a result, it may be best to fight Harold on a cleared floor where there will be no enemies for him to attract.
 **If you run into Harold and aren't ready to fight him, consider escaping to a different floor and coming back through a different staircase to avoid him. Having a good [[Stealth]] score makes this easier as you might escape his notice, but even heavily armored brutes can generally manage to get away as long as he stays right at the edge of your line of sight.
 *Harold can't see invisible, so feel free to quaff a potion and then hack away. Any other methods of buffing yourself (such as [[might]], [[haste]], [[berserk]], etc.) work as well.

-'''Harold the Weathered''' is a [[unique]] human bounty hunter who generates with several [[throwing net]]s, a decent weapon and a moderately heavy [[armour]]. He has high HP and some strong spells which severely limit your ability to escape, in [[Harpoon Shot]] and [[Sentinel's Mark]], but no resistances and is not particularly strong in melee.

-*Bolt of Fire can hurt if you lack [[fire]] resistance, especially if you're a [[mummy]], but fortunately he doesn't cast it terribly often. Hide around a corner and lure him into melee. If his melee weapon is also dangerously [[brand]]ed, pull out your big guns or come back later when you've got the right resistances.
