Useful Info
Duvessa, Sister of Dowan is one of a pair of twin elf uniques that hunt through the Dungeon as a team and are always encountered together. Duvessa has the stats and gear of a deep elf fighter, while her brother is a somewhat competent magician; however, when either one is struck down, their sibling becomes significantly more dangerous. In Duvessa's case, this means going berserk the moment she sees you.
Location
- The Dungeon:4-9
- The Orcish Mines:1
Tips & Tricks
- Neither Duvessa nor Dowan will follow you up or down stairs unless their sibling is adjacent to you too (in which case they both will) or their sibling is dead.
- The berserk effect only triggers the first time Duvessa sees you after killing Dowan. If you can escape up a flight of stairs or teleport away, she'll no longer have that advantage.
- A berserk Duvessa hits very hard and very fast, but only hurts in melee range and has no ranged attacks, contrary to Dowan who will pelt you with strong magic from a distance.
- Consider wearing them both down before killing either of them. The survivor's HP will still be fairly low even after finding hidden power.
