Useful Info

Wiglaf is a unique mountain dwarf fighter who worships Okawaru, and will attempt to invoke Haste and Might before engaging you in melee. He comes with decent dwarven equipment, and once buffed, can deal gruesome damage in melee.

Note that unlike all other monsters represented by q, he is not a deep dwarf, and can regenerate hit points as normal.

Spells: Might, Haste

Tips & Tricks

Wiglaf may be strong, but he has numerous vulnerabilities. Firstly, one can soften him up from a distance. He has no ranged abilities unless he happens to find a weapon and ammunition lying around, but his ability to haste himself means he may be able to get close to you before you can take him out. Haste yourself, or use Swiftness and Flight to maintain the gap, and hit him with your most powerful conjurations. If you're a melee fighter, you might simply try hasting yourself and drinking a potion of might before engaging him in melee; generally, you will have superior damage output. If you yourself are an Oka worshiper, you can use his Finesse ability, which is considerably superior to Wiglaf's Haste. Lastly, one can attempt to close to melee range before he can cast Haste or Might - once in melee, he'll rarely cast them.

Trivia

Wiglaf is a character in the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf.
