Useful Info
Saint Roka the Messiah is a unique orc warlord of Beogh who leads a band of fellow orcs on a crusade for their god. Saint Roka is a very powerful melee fighter, usually found wielding a powerful two-handed weapon and wearing a heavily enchanted set of plate armour, but they are also a threat at range due to their smiting and the crossbow they occasionally spawn with.
Saint Roka allows players to convert to Beogh, like an orc priest would.

Tips & Tricks
- If you ever start finding groups of orcs where they shouldn't be (e.g. the Snake Pit), be prepared for a Saint Roka encounter.
- This is not always the case, however, and large bands of orcs can rarely appear in non-orc branches.
- If Saint Roka lacks a crossbow, their smite hurts a lot less than their glaive, so tackling them from range is generally the less dangerous prospect.
- Facing Saint Roka's entire cohort at once is often suicidal. Don't be afraid to show up, blast a few orcish minions, and then flee to safety. For melee characters, Javelins work wonders thanks to their piercing, allowing them to hit or even kill several orcs with a single throw. Wands work very well too, especially a wand of charming is capable of dealing massive damage to the orc group by converting warriors/knights to your side and letting them mow down their former allies.
- A scroll of immolation can work wonders against densely packed groups of squishy orcs, since none are innately resistant to fire.
- Especially pious followers of Beogh have a chance to turn Saint Roka neutral on sight or when you deal enough damage, as they are an orc. When this happens, they will drop any gear and run for an exit. Make sure to check what they left behind as they usually spawns with good gear, especially if you're using heavy armour.
- As strong as they are, Saint Roka can't see invisible (nor can their minions, barring an orc sorcerer, orc high priest or warg). Using Invisibility can help you either get a leg up in combat or escape in relative safety.
History
- Prior to 0.32, followers of Beogh had a chance to recruit Saint Roka as an ally, giving you a very powerful minion. This has been changed with the Beogh rework.
- Prior to 0.31, Saint Roka was able to appear in the later floors of the Crypt and Depths. The group of orcs they spawn with in the Vaults, Crypt and Depths was also buffed in this version.
- Prior to 0.24, Saint Roka was male.
