Useful Info
Sigmund is a deadly unique human, and one of the earliest uniques you can encounter. He is always generated with a powerful scythe, a robe, and several brutal spells. He may also spawn with a wand of lightning, wand of draining, or wand of paralysis, but he's dangerous enough even without those. Sigmund is notorious for being the demise of many adventurers in the early game; he currently holds the record for the most scalps for a unique on CAO.

Tips & Tricks
- Sigmund's damage output in melee will be devastating for low-level characters, but his biggest threats are in his spell list. An invisible Sigmund is almost unbeatable in early-game melee, his Throw Flame lets him brutalize you at range, and expect a swift end if he confuses you and you're out of potions of curing.
- Avoiding Sigmund is usually the wisest thing you can do. If you find him sleeping early on, just walk away and return once you've gained a few levels and found some better gear.
- There are some options for low-level characters who want to take him out immediately. Mephitic Cloud will leave him unable to use magic and almost hopeless in melee, while a few zaps from a good wand will annihilate him. A wand of polymorph may also turn him into a less deadly form and will probably make him drop his scythe, but it's less of a safe bet; Sigmund the centaur is much deadlier than normal.
- If all else fails and you have no choice but to engage him early, don't be afraid to use any useful potions you've identified. Berserk, haste, or might go a long way toward helping you take him down, and a few potions of heal wounds can keep you in the fight longer than you'd otherwise last.
