An incredibly powerful emperor on the way to godhood. He died quite some time ago, but he sees no reason why that should stop him.

“And then I looked farther, beyond the pallid line of the sands, and I saw a Pyramid of gold, the wonder Khufu had built. As a golden wonder it saluted me, as a golden thing it greeted me, as a golden miracle I shall remember it.”
-Robert Hichens, _The Spell of Egypt_

Tips & Tricks

  • Unless you manage to lure away individual mummies very carefully, you'll be facing an army of extremely dangerous monsters that can injure you no matter what you do. Bring as much torment resistance as you can get to avoid being decimated in the first few rounds. Aura of Abjuration will help clear out summoned monsters quickly so you don't have to waste turns smashing them the hard way. A scroll of blinking will help you get out of their line of sight quickly should everything start to fall apart.
  • Silence stops up his spellcasting capabilities very effectively, assuming you can get close enough to him.
  • Khufu possesses the most powerful defensive spell in the game, the Tomb of Doroklohe. This spell seals the caster up in a ring of rock walls long enough for him to partially recover, so you'll want a wand of digging or Shatter in order to prevent him from hiding away until fully healed. Alternatively, he'll eventually come out on his own, but that's nowhere near as ideal. Of course, if you're well prepared for him, you can kill him before he even casts it.
