Useful Info
Balrugs are brutish tier-2 demons, often armed with branded demon whips and capable of casting powerful Fire Magic. Even when unarmed, they still deal significant fire damage (14-27 HP) per hit.
Spells
| Spell set | ||
|---|---|---|
| Slot1 | Bolt of Fire (3d23) | Demonic flag |
| Slot2 | Fireball (3d23) | Demonic flag |
| Slot3 | Sticky Flame Range (3d6) | Demonic flag |
| Slot4 | Smiting (7-17) | Demonic flag |
Tips & Tricks
- The more fire resistance you have when facing them, the better.
- Balrugs are vulnerable to cold. Any decent Ice Elementalist or Conjurer shouldn't have much difficulty with them. Other characters can take advantage of their mediocre EV to zap them with a wand of cold.
- Although huge, they are still faster than most characters.
- Maces & Flails specialists will probably want to take a look at their weaponry, as demon whips are among the best weapons in the game.
Trivia
The balrug is almost identical to the balrog, a fiery whip-wielding demon from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings novels.
History
They knew Teleport Self between 0.6 and 0.10. Prior to 0.10, they were tier-1 demons.
