A svelte fighter-mage with a gold-rimmed monocle, a keen sense of tradition, and the blood of the gods running through his veins. He's here looking for a worthy opponent, but he's yet to find one - and he's been looking for quite a long time.

“I thoroughly disapprove of duels. I consider them unwise and I know they are dangerous. Also, sinful. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet retired spot and kill him.”
-Mark Twain, _Autobiography of Mark Twain_. 1924.

Useful Info

Frederick the Vigilant is a dangerous unique demigod caster. Although he's only fair in melee combat, the damage output of his spells is on par with Cerebov.

Tips & Tricks

  • Try to fight him at close range, as his melee attacks are far less painful than his spells, or at extreme long range, popping Freezing Cloud or Poisonous Cloud and then backing away. If you can hit him with a curare needle first, this kiting process will be even easier.
  • While cold resistance will certainly help protect you from his Bolts of Cold, his Iron Shots are going to be a hazard regardless. Repel/Deflect Missiles will greatly reduce the threat from his spells, as will high evasion or a good shield.
  • He's vulnerable to silence. Just be aware that the aura from a scroll will not be very large.

History

Prior to 0.16, Frederick was a human instead of a demigod, and he had fewer spells.

In early versions of DCSS, he was known as Adolf.
