Useful Info

Death knights are followers of Yredelemnul. As with deep dwarf death knights before them, they use his invocations to animate the dead, drain life, and partially reflect damage inflicted on them. They are occasionally found in the Crypt and its vaults, most notably in its branch ends. Outside of said vaults and branch ends, there is a 66.66% chance for them to have a band of 3-4 of Yred's gifts:

First spawn
W Wraith.png Wraith 9.8% W Freezing wraith.png Freezing wraith 11.76% W Phantasmal warrior.png Phantasmal warrior 5.88%
z Skeletal warrior.png Skeletal warrior 5.88% n Ghoul.png Ghoul 22.22% W Flayed ghost.png Flayed ghost 44.44%
Following spawns
W Wraith.png Wraith 29.41% W Freezing wraith.png Freezing wraith 35.29%
W Phantasmal warrior.png Phantasmal warrior 17.65% z Skeletal warrior.png Skeletal warrior 17.65%

Spells

Spell set
Slot1 none
Slot2 Animate Dead
Slot3 Injury Mirror
Slot4 none
Slot5 Drain Life
Slot6 Drain Life

Tips & Tricks

  • As always with Injury Mirror, it is a good idea to avoid potential self-harm and delay direct or long-lasting attacks (examples of the latter being poison and clouds) until after the status ends. Regularly checking in tiles for the status icon or in console with x over the monster is important to avoid significant damage.

History

Death knights replaced deep dwarf death knights in 0.15.
