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, Kikubaaqudgha, or Makhleb 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.
