They tend to wield powerful branded weapons and sometimes shields. On their own, they're about as dangerous as an [[orc knight]], but a horde of them guards the entrance to the last level of the Vaults.

Useful Info

Vault guards are stout warriors found only in the Vaults, or occasionally guarding its entrance or the entrance to a treasure trove. They tend to wield powerful, occasionally-branded weapons and sometimes shields. On their own, they're about as dangerous as an orc knight, but a horde of them guards the entrance to the final floor of the Vaults.

Tips & Tricks

  • Although not particularly terrifying, they can land decently powerful hits, particularly when armed with well-branded gear. Try not to take on too many at once.
  • Their magic resistance is not that great. Confusing, enslaving, or petrifying them is not a bad idea. In case of emergency, bring a scroll of fear to send most of them running.
