Strategy

Read up on Demogorgon to understand his strengths, weaknesses, and how to defeat him. Because Demogorgon waits at the entrance to his lair, the wary player will use telepathy or magic mapping to identify his level before blithely wandering into view, and prepare adequately. Proper preparation includes ensuring that your unicorn horn is fully enchanted and not cursed, digging a quick path to the upstairs, readying a wand of teleportation and a wand of fire (or lightning, or fireball, or a lightsaber) for burning Elbereth, pre-burning Elbereth and dropping an object on top, being unburdened, and having your Demogorgon-killing weapon ready (preferably an assault rifle with well enchanted bullets). Once you have woken Demogorgon, you should make quickly for the stairs and use a wand of teleportation to clear him off the stairway (it may take a couple of hits due to magic resistance), then stand on Elbereth to finish him off. Watch your status line closely and make sure that you cure yourself of any illness before fighting or moving.
