'''Held''' is a condition which occurs when something is bound in place, whether it's due to being stuck in a [[throwing net]], caught in a [[web]], or grappled by a [[mimic]]. The exact effects of the condition vary based on the source; being caught in a net or web prevents both movement and most attacks, while being held by a mimic simply stops movement (similar to being [[constricted]], but without the damage over time).

Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Held is a status effect caused when you are ensnared in a throwing net or web, displayed as Held. Being held prevents you from moving, making most physical attacks, and using a shield until you manage to break loose. Trying to move or attack will instead cause you to struggle against, and possibly escape, the trap.

Monster Version

Monsters typically inflict a similar effect called constriction, which deals damage and a few more effects.

Jumping spiders and monsters with the Ensnare spell can create webs, which hold their target in place.

Tips and Tricks

  • Actions that don't involve moving like reading, quaffing, casting spells, or invoking items are work normally.
  • Blinking, teleporting, or hopping can reliably free you from being held. Transforming into something that cannot be held also frees you from being held.
