Useful Info
Duvessa, Sister of Dowan is one of a pair of twin elf uniques that hunt through the Dungeon as a team, always encountered together. On her own, Duvessa is a moderately strong melee fighter, and Dowan can even haste his sister. Killing one sibling will buff the other.
When Dowan is killed, Duvessa gains permanent berserk the moment she sees you.
Location
- The Dungeon:4-7
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.
- A berserk Duvessa hits very hard and very fast, but only hurts in melee range and has no ranged attacks. Dowan can pelt you with strong magic, but has less durability.
- Consider wearing them both down before killing either of them. The survivor's HP will still be fairly low even after finding hidden power.
History
- Prior to 0.28, Duvessa's berserk would eventually wear off; you could go up the stairs and wait it off. Unlike Dowan, Duvessa wouldn't go berserk afterwards, so it was often best to kill the brother first.
