A beautiful but vain elf with an aptitude for magic and little else. His skills are the perfect complement of his twin sister Duvessa's fighting prowess.

Useful Info

Dowan and Duvessa are a pair of twin deep elf uniques that hunt through the Dungeon as a team and are only encountered together. Dowan is a mediocre magician, while his sister is a somewhat competent fighter; however, when either one is struck down, their sibling becomes significantly more dangerous. In Dowan's case, this means suddenly replacing his weak attack spells with much stronger ones and being automatically hasted as soon as he sees you.

Spells: Throw Frost, Corona, Blink, Throw Flame, Haste Other, Minor Healing

Tips & Tricks

  • Neither Dowan nor Duvessa will follow you up or down stairs unless their sibling is adjacent to you too (in which case they both will) or their sibling is dead.
  • The haste effect only triggers the first time Dowan sees you after killing Duvessa. If you can escape up a flight of stairs or teleport away, he'll no longer have that advantage.
  • Dowan's upgraded spell list is much more dangerous than Duvessa's berserk. Kill Dowan first.
