| A hideous crone, her face covered in warts, moles and the occasional patch of hair, Josephine's appearance may fool one into thinking she is some weak old woman, but she is truly a formidable necromancer. The use of black magic has taken a physical toll on and prematurely aged Josephine, turning the once beautiful lady into an ugly hag. |
Useful Info
Josephine is a unique evil necromancer with several nasty spells in her repertoire. She typically wields a branded dagger and has an entourage of undead monsters surrounding her. Notably, she can create simulacra from nearby corpses.

| Slot1 | Bolt of Cold (3d17) |
| Slot2 | Agony |
| Slot3 | none |
| Slot4 | Animate Dead |
| Slot5 | Simulacrum |
| Slot6 | none |
Tips & Tricks
- Cold and negative energy resistance will take the sting out of her spells. In particular, rN+ will completely negate Agony.
- Try not to kill any corpse-leaving monsters around her: this will deny her the use of her Simulacrum spell.
- Try to separate her from her undead pets. She can deal a lot of HP and XP damage blasting you with bolts while you hack your way toward her.
- If she has any particularly strong pets, you can use a wand of enslavement to turn it against her.
History
Josephine's spell set will change drastically in 0.14: Bolt of Cold will be replaced with Ghostly Fireball, Agony with Vampiric Draining, and Simulacrum with Dispel Undead.
