Amulet of strangulation
Effects
An amulet of strangulation quickly strangles you to death unless you have the unbreathing intrinsic. Removing it nullifies the effect; however, most of these amulets are generated cursed.
Generation
This amulet is generated cursed 90.5% of the time.
Identification
This amulet auto-identifies when worn.
Messages
| Message | Reason |
|---|---|
| "It constricts your throat!" | You put on the amulet. You have five turns to live. |
| "You find it hard to breathe." | You have four turns to live. |
| "You're gasping for air." | You have three turns to live |
| "You can no longer breathe." | You have two turns to live |
| "You're turning blue." | You have one turn to live |
| "You suffocate." | You were strangled to death |
Strategy
This amulet is dangerous. It is the main reason you shouldn't put on amulets without knowing their BUC status. If cursed, you can pray (assuming it is safe) to have it uncursed. If you find a noncursed amulet of strangulation, though, it can be easily identified and taken off.
Eating this amulet chokes you to death immediately, with a 1/20 chance of survival, providing you are not unbreathing.
