Useful Info
Crazy Yiuf is a deranged unique gnoll who shouts gibberish while murdering trespassers. He always generates wearing a cloak and wielding a chaos-branded quarterstaff which has the potential to be extremely dangerous. His vault is very distinct and recognizeable, accessed through a characteristic uneven path, usually through trees (where it is occasionally blocked off by fungi).
Location
- The Dungeon:2-7
Tips & Tricks
- His quarterstaff may heal you, or it may electrocute you for enough damage to one-shot some characters. Definitely try to soften him up at range with whatever you have available.
- Killing him early is usually worthwhile, as he is guaranteed to produce his (occasionally enchanted or branded) cloak, chaos quarterstaff, and at least one better than average hammer in his cottage. If you intend to fight with staves in the long run, his quarterstaff can be very powerful early on (though not very reliable).
- You can deal significant damage to him by catching his forest on fire as he runs along the path, but just shooting him with Fire Magic usually does more damage.
- If you are a follower of Xom or you've inflicted confusion on Yiuf, his dialogue will become... interesting.
