 Sara, the Last Oracle is fairly unique among quest leaders in dNetHack and its derivatives: in order for an Anachrononaut hero to gain access to the [[Anachrononaut quest]] and attain a full-scoring ascension, they must reach Sara and qualify for the quest while she is still alive. [[Android]]s ([[Clockwork automaton (starting race)|clockwork]] Anachrononauts) have [[Android quest|a separate quest]] where Sara, the Last Oracle is instead transformed into the [[clairvoyant changed]], and an Android hero is able to access the other floors of their quest branch from the beginning of the game.

 ==Strategy==
-Preserving the life of Sara, the Last Oracle is absolutely vital for any non-Android Anachrononaut looking to save their future: while the Anachrononaut quest notably lacks hostile monsters at initial level creation, they will eventually begin generating and moving to attack Sara, the Last Oracle and the other quest friendlies and allies within the base, since hostile monsters [[grudge]] quest monsters in dNetHack and its derivatives&mdash;if she is killed before you gain quest access, you will be unable to obtain [[the Annulus]] and properly complete your role's overarching objective. Fortunately, an attentive and careful Anachrononaut can usually prevent her from dying before she can open the Quest for them without too much trouble for the hero, and they will no longer have to worry about her death occurring once they have obtained quest access.

 Sara, the Last Oracle has a [[passive attack]] that fires [[Magic missile (monster spell)|magic missiles]] at anyone attacking her in melee, dealing damage based on that attacker's [[experience level]] or [[monster level]]. Sara, the Last Oracle also possesses [[magic resistance]] due to this attack.
