Horn of Geryon

Type	Miscellaneous item
Name	horn of Geryon
Icon

The horn belonging to Geryon, guardian of the Vestibule of Hell. Legends say that a mortal who desires access into one of the Hells must use it in order to gain entry.

The horn of Geryon is a unique key item carried by Geryon in the Vestibule of Hell. Evoking the horn once in the Vestibule opens the portals to the four branches of Hell. This is the only way to gain access to these branches. Evoking the horn anywhere else, or evoking it in the Vestibule once the doors are already unlocked, merely summons a hostile hell beast (worth no XP).

History

Prior to 0.9, carrying the horn out of the Dungeon contributed to your final score, granting the bearer 5000 points. Also, before the changes to experience and skills in 0.9, this item was commonly used by high-level characters as a renewable way to "victory dance" Fighting, Dodging, and weapon skills.
