Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
| It has been blessed by The Shining One, dealing an additional three-quarters of any damage that pierces undead and demons' armour. |
The holy wrath brand does the following:
- Against undead and demons, deals an average of +75% damage (min. 1, max. +150%).[1] This is independent from "holy" damage, so undead that are rHoly (e.g. profane servitors) are not immune to holy wrath.
Undead players (Mummy, Ghoul, Vampire, and Death Form) and Demonspawn can wield weapons of holy wrath, but the brand is disabled for them. Using the brand will offend Yredelemnul, but the other evil gods won't mind.
Contents
Sources
Holy wrath can be found on any melee weapon except demon blades, demon tridents, and demon whips (which become their blessed counterparts instead). It can not be obtained through a scroll of brand weapon. It can also be found by:
- The Shining One, at 6* piety, can bless any weapon, including Ranged Weapons. This can be done once per game.
- Any eudemon blades, trishulas, and sacred scourges you find will always have holy wrath (and cannot be rebranded without divine blessing). These are often found on angels, daevas, and Mennas.
Tips & Tricks
- While holy wrath is weak in most early-game branches (such as the Lair), it excels in the extended game, when most branches are filled with powerful demons and undead. The Crypt, the Tomb, Pandemonium and the Hells are especially good places to have a weapon of holy wrath.
- Holy wrath doesn't do anything against "evil" creatures aren't actually undead or demonic, such as necromancers or hell knights.
History
- Prior to 0.32, undead and demonspawn couldn't wield weapons of holy wrath at all.
- Prior to 0.24, weapons of holy wrath were immune to being cursed, even from Ashenzari.
- Prior to 0.4, holy wrath only dealt +50% average damage against undead (but had the same damage against demons).
