Torment immunity
rN+++
See Invisible
Reduces max HP by 35%
Curses itself when worn

Desirability

The crown of Eternal Torment is an extremely situational piece of equipment, granting rN+++ and torment immunity in exchange for exactly as much health as a single torment with rN+++ would normally take away. It's admittedly better to be tormented once than to be tormented several times over, but that's still a lot of lost durability. Having 2/3 normal health means that all other hostile attacks are effectively dealing 150% more damage than normal. The item may be useful for taking on the Tomb and Tartarus, but almost any other branch of the game will be decidedly deadlier if you choose to wear it. Use this artefact at your own risk, and make sure to keep some scrolls of remove curse on hand so you can remove it when you decide to wear a less dangerous piece of equipment.

Oh, and it has see invisible. That's nice.

History

The crown of Eternal Torment will be added in 0.17.
