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 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 them.

The holy wrath brand is the Shining One's special brand. At 160+ piety, you can have him add the brand to a weapon of your choosing. Do not try to make a temporary holy wrath brand permanent using a scroll of vorpalise weapon: it will fail and injure you.

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.
