-Rabindranath Tagore, _Chitra_, Act I, Scene iv. 1914.

Tips & Tricks

  • Neither Dowan nor Duvessa will follow you up or down stairs unless their sibling is adjacent to you too (in which case they both will) or their sibling is dead. However, you can drop one of them down a shaft without the other being able to follow.
  • Consider wearing them both down before killing either one. The survivor will still be near death even after they become more powerful.
  • Dowan's upgraded spell list is very dangerous, but he has much less staying power than a berserk Duvessa.
    • If you have the choice, it's nice to have cold resistance (to lower Throw Icicle's damage) if you want to kill Duvessa first.
    • Unlike berserk, Dowan's haste can be removed (permanently) by a wand of quicksilver.

History

  • Prior to 0.28, Dowan's haste was not permanent, but he had the Haste spell. An enraged Dowan would immediately be hasted on sight, but it could wear out (forcing the spell to be cast again).
