Useful Info

Balrugs are brutish tier-2 demons, often armed with branded demon whips and capable of casting powerful Fire Magic. Even when unarmed, they still deal significant fire damage (14-27 HP) per hit.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Bolt of Fire (3d23) Magical flag
Slot2 Fireball (3d23) Magical flag
Slot3 Pyre Arrow (2d14*) Magical flag
Slot4 Smiting (7-17) Magical flag

Tips & Tricks

  • The more fire resistance you have when facing them, the better.
  • Balrugs are vulnerable to cold. Any decent Ice Elementalist or Conjurer shouldn't have much difficulty with them. Other characters can take advantage of their vulnerability with freezing-branded weapons or by zapping them with a wand of iceblast.
  • Don't let their size fool you; balrugs are still faster than most characters.
  • Maces & Flails specialists will probably want to take a look at their weaponry, as demon whips are among the best weapons in the game.

Trivia

Balrugs are almost identical to the balrog, a fiery whip-wielding demon from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings novels.
