Tips & Tricks
- Going into melee against Snorg can be dangerous. His berserk usually lasts longer than yours and increases his damage by 1.5x. Summoners can spam him with cheap summoned monsters, letting them take his attacks and softening him up until his berserk expires. Extremely fast characters can kite him, though this usually isn't an option. Those who want to engage him in melee should buff themselves first: a potion of speed and a potion of might will not go amiss. A high AC also helps.
- Snorg's berserk ability is unique in the game. Every turn you're within Snorg's LOS (and he's not confused or enslaved), there's a 5% chance of him going berserk; if he's injured in the slightest, this chance goes to 20%. Apart from not being able to be silenced, this isn't too different than other monsters that can go berserk, and is likely simply a bit of cruft left over from before Berserker Rage was implemented as a monster spell (Snorg is one of the oldest uniques in the game).
