*Mummies are vulnerable to [[fire]] and [[holy wrath]] weapons, but you may wish to avoid killing them to avoid the curse. If you can get a [[confused]] or neutral monster to kill the mummy for you, however, that will spare you the curse (but you'll get no [[experience]] for the kill).

*Don't waste a [[scroll of remove curse]] removing only one cursed item. If there are multiple mummies around, kill them all and then clean yourself of all curses with a single scroll. If any unequipped items in your inventory were cursed, wear them first. You can even run back to your stash and experiment with some unidentified loot; if any of it's cursed, you can get it cleansed along with whatever the mummy zapped.

*Worshippers of [[Ashenzari]] are immune to common mummy death curses, so they can kill them with impunity. This has no effect on the death curses of more powerful mummies.

Useful Info

Mummies are the preserved corpses of the dead, raised by Necromancy for various reasons. They have a decent attack which low-level characters should watch out for, but they move slowly and have meager durability. They can be found in the Ossuary, the Tomb, and certain undead-themed vaults.

Tips & Tricks

  • Mummies are vulnerable to fire and holy wrath weapons.
  • Mummies are slow enough that you can walk them upstairs and outrun them, leaving them on a cleared level. Be aware that you may encounter them again if you head back up to retrieve items from your stash (though you can just run away from them again).

History

Prior to 0.17, basic mummies had a death curse that could randomly curse one item in the player's inventory when killed. Prior to 0.15, allowing allied or enslaved creatures to kill mummies would spare you from the death curse.
