Frenzy

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page is a stub. You could probably expand this page should you wish to do so.

Frenzy is a status afflication that causes monsters to attack anything in sight. When applied to natural creatures frenzy also applies the berserk status effect. When a source of frenzy is used against the player (typically by a Needle of frenzy), only the normal berserk effect is applied.

Sources of Frenzy

Frenzy can be afflicted by:

• Discord: Level 8 Hexes spell which attempts to frenzy all monsters in sight.
• Needle of frenzy: Missile which can apply the frenzy effect to vulnerable monster upon hit. (Will cause the player to berserk.)

History

Frenzy used to only work against natural creatures, but was expanded in 0.13. The berserking effect on frenzy is limited to natural creatures, however.
