Useful Info
Death knights are followers of Yredelemnul. As with deep dwarf death knights before them, they use his invocations to animate the dead, drain life, and partially reflect damage inflicted on them. They are occasionally found in the Crypt and its vaults, most notably in its branch ends. Outside of said vaults and branch ends, there is a 66.66% chance for them to have a band of 3-4 of Yred's gifts:

Tips & Tricks
- As always with Injury Mirror, it is a good idea to avoid potential self-harm and delay direct or long-lasting attacks (examples of the latter being poison and clouds) until after the status ends. Regularly checking in tiles for the status icon or in console with x over the monster is important to avoid significant damage.
