A small figurine made of some strange material, shaped like a stepped pyramid. It is remarkably detailed – almost like a real, vast structure, shrunk somehow smaller than a human hand. |
The figurine of a ziggurat is an evocable item which creates a portal to a ziggurat upon use, being consumed in the process. Unlike all other evocable items, it can be evoked even after sacrificing evocations to Ru.
The treasure found within a ziggurat is often very impressive, and players may be tempted to use the figurine immediately to gain access. However, the figurine serves a surprisingly useful secondary purpose - creating a ziggurat and jumping in is an effective escape route from danger. Remember that it does take two turns to use, and you might meet a pan lord even on the first floor of your first ziggurat. Also, be aware that you cannot place a portal on top of some dungeon features, for example, shops and stairs. On the other hand, it is possible to use a figurine while flying over deep water or lava.
The figurine is never generated as a random loot. Instead, a single figurine is guaranteed to generate on the third floor of the Tomb and the last, 27th, floor of each ziggurat.
History
The figurine of a ziggurat was added in 0.18.
