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 needle of frenzy), 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.
