Useful Info

Mummies are the preserved corpses of the dead, raised by Necromancy for various reasons. They are unique in that they give death curses to whatever being kills them. Common mummies have a simple curse, merely cursing a single piece of equipment in your inventory. Apart from that, they are fairly harmless, moving slowly and having meager durability (though more advanced mummies can be terrifying opponents). They can be found in the Ossuary and the Tomb.

Tips & Tricks

  • Mummies are vulnerable to fire and holy wrath weapons, but if possible you should avoid killing them at all. Use a wand of enslavement or summoned/raised forces to kill them for you. You'll get less XP, but you'll avoid the death curse.
  • Don't waste a scroll of remove curse removing only one curse. If there are multiple mummies around, kill them all and then clean yourself of all curses with a single scroll, or run back to your stash and experiment with some unidentified loot.
  • Mummies are slow enough that you can walk them upstairs and outrun them, leaving them on a cleared level. Be aware that you'll encounter them again if you head back up to retrieve items from your stash.
