Frenzy

Version 0.28: 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 effect which causes monsters to attack anything in sight, friend or foe. When applied to natural, demonic, or holy creatures, frenzy also applies the berserk status effect. When a source of frenzy is used against the player (typically by a datura dart), only the normal berserk effect is applied.

Sources of Frenzy

Frenzy can be afflicted by:

• Discord: A level 8 Hexes spell which attempts to frenzy all monsters in sight.
• Datura-tipped dart: Throwing weapon which can apply the frenzy effect to vulnerable monster upon hit (causes the player to berserk instead).
• Orbs of mayhem: May frenzy a monster whenever you kill.

History

• Prior to 0.28, player-frenzied monsters did not provide XP, and holy and demonic monsters were immune to berserk.
• Frenzy used to only work against natural creatures, but was expanded in 0.13. The berserking effect of frenzy is limited to natural creatures, however.
