Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
The holy wrath brand causes a weapon to deal additional damage (up to 150% of normal damage dealt, average 75%) to demons and the undead, and renders it immune to curses. It can be found on any melee weapon, and radiates with a divine glow when wielded, identifying it.
You cannot wield weapons with this brand if you are a mummy, ghoul, vampire, demonspawn, or lichform character. Worshipers of Yredelemnul should also avoid using it, as doing so will offend him.
The holy wrath brand is the Shining One's special brand. At 160+ piety, you can have him add the brand to any weapon of your choosing (including all ranged weapons except for blowguns). Though it is currently impossible to acquire a temporary version of this brand, attempting to make it permanent with a scroll of vorpalize weapon would not be recommended, as doing so would fail and inflict backlash.
Tips & Tricks
- Holy wrath works best on high-damage weapons due to its percentage-based damage output.
- While weak in certain branches (the Lair, the Slime Pits), it excels in the late-game, when most branches are filled with powerful demons and undead. The Crypt, the Tomb, and Pandemonium are especially good places to have a weapon of holy wrath.
