A relaxed peace-in-death cultist with a healthy tan and a soothing voice. He doesn't really care if it is you or he who dies — “both” would probably be the best option.

“Death and death alone gives meaning to life and this meaning is entirely negative.”
-Georges Poulet

Useful Info

Norris the Nihilist is a dangerous unique spellcaster. While he generally arrives unarmoured and has no resistances, he tends to open combat by debilitating you with spells before sweeping in with powerful two-handed weapon attacks.

Location

Spell set
Slot1 Brain Feed Priest flag
Slot2 Smiting (7-17) Priest flag
Slot3 Invisibility Priest flag
Slot4 Confuse Priest flag
Slot5 Paralyse Priest flag


Tips & Tricks

  • He has high HP, but little staying power. While you can protect against some of his spells with see invisible, clarity, stasis, or high magic resistance, hitting him with a fast overwhelming offense gives him little time for trickery. Just be aware that he hits hard in melee; flimsy characters in particular may find it worth enduring some smites and intelligence damage to keep him at range.
  • Norris also appears in Dungeon Sprint: Red Sonja.

History

  • In 0.19, Norris himself finally bit the dust.
  • In ancient versions of Crawl, Norris' tile showed him carrying a surfboard.
