A jealous sibling of Sigmund (indeed, the youngest of nine brothers). He has none of Sigmund's skills in magic, but makes up for it with his skills in fighting and a canny head for money. He is eager to prove his superiority by killing hapless adventurers with his expensive flail and quick wit.

Useful Info

Edmund the Younger is a weak unique who appears in the early game. Although he's Sigmund's brother, he is not nearly as lethal. He generates with a decent flail (often holy wrath branded), a well-enchanted suit of medium-weight armour, and (occasionally) a random attack wand, making him a threat to low-level characters.

Tips & Tricks

  • If discovered early on, he can be an overwhelming melee opponent, but even then he lacks any real tricks. Intelligent use of ranged attacks can take him out fairly easily, but don't be overconfident. You can always come back later when he's a pushover.
  • Undead characters should be mindful of his weapon. Holy wrath can make short work of careless players.
