 ==Generation==
-Nalzok is generated on one of two squares in the midst of his lair on the goal level of the [[Priest quest]], with the Bell of Opening and The Mitre of Holiness underneath him.
+Nalzok is always generated hostile, and is not a valid form for polymorph.
 ==Strategy==
-Since Nalzok is almost identical to the Minion of Huhetotl, some of the strategies that apply there will also apply to him: Nalzok hates silver and respects [[Elbereth]] and a grounded [[scroll of scare monster]], and can [[summon nasties]] much like the Minion. Nalzok can also inflict very large amounts of damage with his two weapon attacks and spellcasting (which includes [[drain strength]] and [[destroy armor (monster spell)|destroy armor]]).

Nalzok can also inflict major damage with his two weapon attacks and spellcasting, which includes [[drain strength]] and [[Destroy armor (monster spell)|destroy armor]].
-Clearing the surrounding area of monsters beforehand should be easier in comparison to the Minion's crypt, especially with the #[[Turn undead|turn]] [[Extended command|command]] making short work of most of the [[Zombie (monster class)|zombies]] and [[wraith (monster class)|wraiths]] - note that he can wake up early and get a few swings in during the short period of vulnerability. An AC of around &minus;15 with a source of [[magic resistance]] is advisable, as is the usual strategy of standing on/blocking/teleporting to the upstair, then awakening and engaging Nalzok there - be mindful of the lava plain and the fire traps during the fight, as one misstep can easily end the game.
