Useful Info

Saint Roka the Messiah is a unique orc warlord of Beogh who leads a band of fellow orcs on a crusade for their god. Saint Roka is a very powerful melee fighter, usually found wielding a powerful two-handed weapon and wearing a heavily enchanted set of plate armour, but they are also a threat at range due to their smiting and the crossbow they occasionally spawn with.

Saint Roka allows players to convert to Beogh, like an orc priest would.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you ever start finding orcs "where they shouldn't be" (e.g. the Snake Pit), and you've ruled out shapeshifters, be prepared for a Saint Roka encounter.
  • If Saint Roka lacks a crossbow, their smite hurts a lot less than their glaive, so tackling them from range is generally the less dangerous prospect.
  • Facing Saint Roka's entire cohort at once is often suicidal. Don't be afraid to show up, blast a few orcish minions, and then flee to safety. For melee characters Javelins work wonders thanks to their piercing, allowing them to hit or even kill several orcs with a single throw. Wands work very well too, expecially a Wand of charming is capable of dealing massive damage to the orc group by converting Warrior/Knights to your side and letting them mow down their former allies.
  • Especially pious followers of Beogh have a chance to turn Saint Roka neutral on sight or when you deal enough damage, as they are still considered an Orc. When this happens, they will drop any gear and run for an exit. Make sure to check what they left behind as they usually spawns with good gear, expecially if you're using heavier armours.
  • As strong as they are, Saint Roka can't see invisible (nor can their minions, barring an orc sorcerer or orc high priest). Using Invisibility can help you either get a leg up in combat or escape in relative safety.

History

  • Before version 0.32, followers of Beogh had a chance to recruit Saint Roka as an ally, giving you a very powerful minion. This has been changed with the Beogh rework.
  • Before version 0.24, Saint Roka was male.
