 A player of the Lethe patch is well-advised to kill him once, preferably from range, quickly retrieve the Amulet, and run very quickly or preferably use a cursed [[potion of gain level]]. He is vulnerable to all elemental attacks, as well as [[magic missile]]s, so spellcasters should be able to muster up the force to kill him. Fighter-types would be advised to train with a ranged weapon beforehand, or possibly to simply use firearms. The only saving grace of Cthulhu's menace is that, unlike other demon lords, he cannot teleport or fly. This should give you time to escape if necessary, and with careful planning may allow you to trap him where he cannot attack you in melee, allowing you to mow him down with ranged attacks with impunity. [[Moloch's Sanctum]] itself contains no water or lava, but if you lure him up one level you can trap him on the [[vibrating square]] easily, though you will be hit in melee a few times.
-While he is not tameable in his normal form, polymorphing into a [[genetic engineer]] will allow you to turn him into something that can be tamed.  This will eventually revert to being Cthulhu; as a pet, he is actually quite useful, doing unreal amounts of damage, not being covetous, and being fast.  Also, taming him provides the only way to get rid of him permanently: he will not be able to revive if displaced into lava.

 {{monsym|Cthulhu}} '''Cthulhu''' (pronounced by most people as "Ka-thu-lu") is not a monster found in vanilla NetHack. In various variants, he normally appears in Moloch's Sanctum.
-Cthulhu's combat power is unreal; he is more than capable of dealing 100+ damage to a character with full ascension kit equipped through melee attacks alone. In addition, he casts spells, confuses with his gaze, can eat your brain in the same manner as [[mind flayer]]s, and disintegrates into a [[stinking cloud]] when defeated, only to rise up again in mere turns.
