Useful Info

Nergalle the Soulbinder is a unique orc necromancer. Although capable of inflicting negative energy damage and draining you, her biggest threat lies in the spectral orcs she constantly summons and hastes.

If you are a worshiper of Beogh, it is possible to convert Nergalle to your cause.

Tips & Tricks

  • The threat level of her spectral orcs varies tremendously based on what gets summoned; a spectral orc warrior may not be too threatening, but a spectral orc warlord can be devastating. It may be a hassle, but examine her summons to know just how afraid you should be.
  • Nergalle is actually one of the better orc allies you can acquire through Beogh. She has a decent direct damage spell, regularly surrounds enemies with powerful summoned allies, and hastes your other allies. Try not to let her die.

History

  • Prior to 0.19, Nergalle could cast Death's Door, rendering her incapable of dying for several turns.
  • Prior to 0.13, Nergalle could not appear in the Lair.
  • Prior to 0.8, she could not summon spectral orcs and simply pelted you with spells.
