Lord Surtur, H, is the Valkyrie quest nemesis. He is generally considered one of the easier to defeat. Lord Surtur is one of the few quest nemeses who respects Elbereth. Beginning players should still beware, however, as Lord Surtur may be the first enemy encountered who teleports to the upstair to heal. He is generated asleep at the center of his lair, surrounded by fire giants and a handful of squeaky board traps. Assuming the Valkyrie hasn't lost the stealth intrinsic gained at level 7 and doesn't wake the nemesis by stepping on a squeaky trap or in any other way, she can clear out the fire giants before facing Lord Surtur in single combat. As with facing other enemies who teleport to the upstairs to heal, the player should stay on the upstairs to keep Lord Surtur from teleporting away or from escaping upstairs. He is vulnerable to cold, so a wand of cold could be useful.
It is popular to tin Lord Surtur's corpse, whether to eat for the strength gain or simply to keep as a trophy.
Encyclopedia entry
Yet first was the world in the southern region, which was
named Muspell; it is light and hot; that region is glowing
and burning, and impassable to such as are outlanders and
have not their holdings there. He who sits there at the
land's-end, to defend the land, is called Surtr; he brandishes
a flaming sword, and at the end of the world he shall go forth
and harry, and overcome all the gods, and burn all the
world with fire.
