{{amulet|name=amulet of ESP}}

An '''amulet of ESP''' is a type of [[amulet]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''.

[[The Eye of the Aethiopica]] is an [[artifact]] amulet of ESP.

==Generation==
The amulet of ESP is the most common amulet on average, making up 17.5% of all randomly-generated amulets.

==Description==
While worn, an amulet of ESP grants extrinsic [[telepathy]], allowing you to see all non-[[mindless]] monsters within a radius of 8 squares around you; while [[blind]], you can also see all non-mindless monsters on the level. [[Eating jewelry|Eating the amulet]] has a {{frac|5}} chance of giving you intrinsic telepathy.

==Strategy==
As one of two non-artifact sources of extrinsic telepathy, the amulet of ESP is one of the better amulets early on, and does not impact spellcasting like the [[helm of telepathy]], making it more ideal for casting-focused players. In the later game, it is often replaced by the [[amulet of reflection]] or [[amulet of life saving]]; several roles have [[quest artifact]]s that provide extrinsic telepathy and can render the amulet redundant.

===Identification===
The amulet of ESP is one of the more straightforward amulets to informally identify, as you can use {{kbd|;}} to [[far look]] and select a monster that you shouldn't be able to see, e.g. a [[pet]] behind a closed door, with {{kbd|.}} - the output will tell you whether you are seeing it because of telepathy, and if you have no other source, it must be coming from the amulet.

==History==
The amulet of ESP is introduced with most of the other amulets in [[NetHack 3.0.0]].

==Variants==
===NetHack: The Next Generation===
In [[NetHack: The Next Generation]], the home floor of the [[Geek quest]] has an amulet of ESP along with a blindfold for the purpose of viewing the text artwork created using monsters that are locked in place.

===SLASH'EM===
Among the [[Defunct features (SLASH'EM)|defunct features]] in the data of [[SLASH'EM]] is [[The Medallion of Shifters]], an artifact amulet of ESP that acted as the quest artifact for [[Doppelganger (starting race)|Doppelgangers]] before starting races and roles were made distinct in subsequent versions.

===UnNetHack===
In [[UnNetHack]], one of the three possible prize amulets that can be claimed after clearing [[Sokoban (UnNetHack)|Sokoban]] is an amulet of ESP.

===SlashTHEM===
[[SlashTHEM]] adds the Geek role and its quest branch from NetHack: The Next Generation, and retains the defunct Medallion of Shifters along with much of the defunct features from SLASH'EM.
