Useful Info
Hobgoblins are one of the weakest monsters in the game, but are still a threat to XL 1 characters. They can take down the weaker end of starting characters in a fair fight, especially if they are wielding a weapon. They are found in the very earliest portions of the Dungeon.
Tips & Tricks
- Hobgoblins are slightly beefier than goblins and kobolds, and hit about as hard. If you have the choice, avoid fighting a goblin as your first enemy - try to get XP from easier prey, first.
- Watch out for their equipment. A hobgoblin with a weapon is one of the most dangerous enemies you can find on D:1. Unfortunately, if it's wielding a weapon, it's awake and likely to notice you.
- If you find a mass of hobgoblins and goblins on D:2-4, it's likely that Robin is around.
