| − | ==Generation==
| + | {{variant-343}} |
| − | Nighthorn cannot be randomly generated or wished for, and can only be obtained upon killing Nightmare; Nightmare [[corpseless|does not normally leave a corpse]], but will instead drop Nighthorn if killed in a way that would otherwise leave a corpse (i.e. without [[disintegration|disintegrating]] or [[digestion|digesting]] her). The dropped Nighthorn will always be generated [[cursed]] and at +0.

| − | ==SLASH'EM==
| |
| − | In SLASH'EM, Nighthorn is [[lawful]] and obtained at the end of the [[Lawful Quest]], where Nightmare resides. It is functionally no different than a normal unicorn horn, except that it provides [[reflection]] when wielded.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Strategy===
| |
| − | Most characters will find little reason to [[apply]] Nighthorn over a regular blessed and enchanted unicorn horn for curing status afflictions. As a weapon, it is a viable option for the mid-game, though non-lawful characters may be dissuaded due to the chance of taking 8d6 [[artifact blast|blasting]] damage; it is still worth considering if they are not restricted in the unicorn horn [[skill]] and other sources of reflection prove scarce.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, it does no more damage than a regular unicorn horn, making it a weaker weapon in the late game; it will also not resist curses, which is one of the biggest set-backs for any [[two-handed]] weapon, much less a healing item. A [[shield of reflection]] will often be preferable for most characters at that stage.

| − | In dNetHack, Nighthorn is a chaotic and intelligent unicorn horn, and is obtained the same way. However, Nightmare is a chaotic [[unicorn]] in dNetHack, and will thus be peaceful towards chaotic characters; a chaotic who wants the horn may need to take the −5 penalty to [[Luck]] and alignment for killing a coaligned unicorn, unless they can get a pet to manage it.

| − | Nighthorn will now always blast its user when picked up, and will additionally always evade the grasp of lawfuls. It grants +1d12 to-hit and does an additional 1d24 of fire damage; while wielded, it grants fire resistance, and hitting a monster causes a fiery explosion centered on that target. When carried, it acts as a [[luckstone]]; additionally, if you are chaotic, it acts very similarly to an "aligned" [[scroll of scare monster]], causing non-chaotic monsters to flee if you stand on its square while it is on the ground. Nighthorn can be #[[invoked]] for [[levitation]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Strategy===
| |
| − | As unicorn horns are now one-handed in dNetHack, Nighthorn is a much more viable and valuable weapon, though it does poorly against [[demon]]s and other monsters with [[fire resistance]].

| − | == Encyclopedia entry ==
| |
| − | Nighthorn has no encyclopedia entry; however, the parser recognizes the "[[Horn#Encyclopedia entry|horn]]" in "nighthorn", and will return the encyclopedia entry for that item.
