*Avoid him if you have low [[willpower]]. Petrify is his most dangerous weapon, as it makes Lee's Rapid Destruction phenomenally powerful against you. If he does manage to tag you with Petrify, immediately read a [[scroll of teleportation]]; you might end up someplace dangerous, but chances are nothing else you run into will be able to hurt your petrified body quite as badly as Jorgrun.

*Jorgrun is a big threat for a variety of reasons:
−
*As a melee character, [[Silence]] him. As a caster, a well placed [[curare]] [[dart]] can make the difference. A [[phial of flood]]s will also disable his spellcasting entirely.
+
**[[Iron Shot]] is a high damage spell for the areas Jorgrun is found in.
−
*[[Quaff]]ing a [[potion of cancellation]] before you turn fully to stone is another option for negating his Petrify spell, though he may just cast it again a turn later.
+
**[[Grasping Roots]] prevents you from moving, going upstairs, and it gives [[scrolls of blinking]] a chance to fail. This can be lethal if Jorgrun shows up when you're fighting other monsters. Being over [[deep water]] or [[lava]] prevents the roots from affecting you.
−
**Followers of certain gods may be able to take care of the petrification in other ways. [[Elyvilon]] and [[Ru]] give worshipers the Purification and Draw Out Power abilities, respectively, while [[Zin]]'s Vitalisation grants complete protection from petrification.
+
**[[Petrify]] incapacitates you for up to 10 turns, sets your [[EV]] and [[SH]] to 0, and makes Lee's Rapid Deconstruction ignore AC.
−
**In a pinch, [[Yara's Violent Unravelling]] or a [[wand of quicksilver]] can both remove petrification (though using them on yourself is quite painful).
+
*Like all mages, Jorgrun can't do anything while [[silence]]d. Melee characters should silence if possible. Anyone can make use of a [[phial of floods]] to disable his casting.
−
*[[Gargoyle]]s and players in [[Ice Form]] or [[Statue Form]] are innately vulnerable to LRD. [[Transmuter]]s should avoid using Ice or Statue Form against him, and gargoyles should consider avoiding the fight entirely. If you do choose to fight, be prepared to use a [[scroll of blinking]] and/or [[scroll of teleportation|teleportation]] if you take too much damage.
+
*[[Curare]], if it hits, will slow Jorgrun, which can make a big difference in combat.
−
*Users of the [[Simulacrum]] spell should mind the possibility of their own allies being detonated in 3x3, high-damage icy blasts with LRD. It’s no reason to not use them, as Jorgrun will hesitate to blow himself up if your simulacra reach him in melee, but it’s something to be careful of while generating your allies in the first place.
+
*Try to avoid him if you have low [[willpower]]; being Petrified around Jorgrun is basically death. If you get hit by Petrify, you can quaff a [[potion of cancellation]] to end it immediately. If not, a [[scroll of teleport]] is a strong option. You might end up someplace dangerous, but chances are that other monsters can't hurt you as much as Jorgrun.
−
*Low-AC characters should stay away from [[wall]]s while you're fighting him, as LRD can deal heavy damage with shrapnel even if you're not petrified. Even heavily armoured characters may wish to stay away from walls made of crystal or metal during the fight.
+
**Certain god abilities can take care of Petrification; [[Elyvilon]]'s Purification and [[Ru]]'s Draw Out Power end Petrifying; [[Zin]]'s Vitalisation makes you immune. In a pinch, [[Yara's Violent Unravelling]] or a [[wand of quicksilver]] can remove petrification.

*Lee's Rapid Deconstruction can be used on walls or creatures made of wall-like materials:

**[[Gargoyle]]s and players in [[Ice Form]] and [[Statue Form]] are innately vulnerable to LRD. Be very careful; Transmuters shouldn't use these forms against Jorgrun; Gargoyles should avoid the fight or be prepared to escape.
 +
**Users of the [[Simulacrum]] spell should be wary, as Jorgrun can explode the simulacra against you. Using Simulacrum can still be a good idea - Jorgrun will hesitate to LRD if he's in the blast radius - but it's something to be aware of.

Tips & Tricks

  • Jorgrun is a big threat for a variety of reasons:
    • Iron Shot is a high damage spell for the areas Jorgrun is found in.
    • Grasping Roots prevents you from moving, going upstairs, and it gives scrolls of blinking a chance to fail. This can be lethal if Jorgrun shows up when you're fighting other monsters. Being over deep water or lava prevents the roots from affecting you.
    • Petrify incapacitates you for up to 10 turns, sets your EV and SH to 0, and makes Lee's Rapid Deconstruction ignore AC.
  • Like all mages, Jorgrun can't do anything while silenced. Melee characters should silence if possible. Anyone can make use of a phial of floods to disable his casting.
  • Curare, if it hits, will slow Jorgrun, which can make a big difference in combat.
  • Try to avoid him if you have low willpower; being Petrified around Jorgrun is basically death. If you get hit by Petrify, you can quaff a potion of cancellation to end it immediately. If not, a scroll of teleport is a strong option. You might end up someplace dangerous, but chances are that other monsters can't hurt you as much as Jorgrun.
  • Lee's Rapid Deconstruction can be used on walls or creatures made of wall-like materials:
    • Gargoyles and players in Ice Form and Statue Form are innately vulnerable to LRD. Be very careful; Transmuters shouldn't use these forms against Jorgrun; Gargoyles should avoid the fight or be prepared to escape.
