Version 0.18: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
This trident was stolen many years ago from the Octopus King's garden by a really unimportant and already dead man. But beware of the Octopus King's wrath!

Desirability

The trident of the Octopus King is an excellent weapon if you find it early on, as it carries a decent brand, three useful resistances, and solid enchantments. Unfortunately, its damage output is a little low for the late game, and its brand is useless against demons and undead. Even so, it's a decent swap item if you suddenly find yourself suddenly in dire need of electricity or magic resistance.

Although it's unlikely to make a major difference, each ring of the Octopus King you wear while wielding this trident increases its enchantment by +1, up to a theoretical (but extraordinarily unlikely) maximum of +16.

In spite of the flavour text, there is no risk involved with possession of this artefact.

History

  • In 0.19, the bonus from the rings of the Octopus King will be increased to +2 each, letting the trident reach a potential maximum enchantment of +24.
  • Prior to 0.15, the trident of the Octopus King had an enchantment of +10, +4, and rings of the Octopus King had no effect upon it.
