Stoic and inscrutable, Lom Lobon is an ancient demon infamous for their mastery of magic. Rumoured to be the most learned being in the halls of Pandemonium, they are at times sought out by mortal wizards who offer their souls in exchange for the secrets of the arcane. Lacking the terrible wrath present in most demons, Lom Lobon's single eye instead hides a cold, impartial cruelty.

Useful Info

Lom Lobon is a unique Pandemonium lord and guardian of the magical rune. It packs some powerful cold, wind, and electricity damage spells, the most powerful healing spell in the game, and keeps a number of wizards and blizzard demons on hand. You can find Lom Lobon on a dedicated Pandemonium floor, which has grey floors and white walls.

In Dungeon Sprint "Red Sonja", Lom waits in the last room in front of the Orb of Zot chamber.

Tips & Tricks

• Lom Lobon might not have the raw resilience of other pan lords, but Major Healing can make it very difficult to kill Lom quickly. They'll attempt to blink away and cast either Glaciate, Polar Vortex, or Conjure Ball Lightning when you get too close. Have rC++ at least, preferably rC+++, and definitely rElec before facing them.
• Lom Lobon is generally easier for melee fighters to deal with. Lom's antimagic attack can cripple casters, but is negligible to an aromoured fighter. A potion of attraction can counter Lom's Blink Away, though watch for the usual risks with this potion. The usual haste and might are also recommended, if you can spare the potions.
  • Weapons of holy wrath will do very heavy damage, though weapons of antimagic can cripple Lom Lobon's spellcasting, which is the most threatening aspect of the fight. Either one is a good choice.
• If you can't swim, it's recommended to have some source of flight, even if its just from the potion. Polar Vortex can send you into deep water.

History

• Prior to 0.27, Lom Lobon had Tornado instead of Polar Vortex.
• Lom Lobon was considered male before 0.19.
• Prior to 0.14, Lom Lobon knew Ice Storm instead of Glaciate and Tornado. This led to extremely suicidal behaviour on his part.
