A ring of cold resistance is a type of ring that appears in NetHack.
Description
While worn, the ring confers cold resistance - this prevents you from taking any cold damage, though it can still affect your open inventory and shatter any potions present.
Strategy
Like some other resistance rings, the ring of cold resistance may be worth wearing early on to deal with obstacles such as an early wand of cold, or else as aid in obtaining the property intrinsically: for example, blue jellies are sessile but may cannot be attacked in melee without triggering its cold passives, and winter wolves and their cubs can generate in the early game and cause severe damage with their breath. Their corpses and tins along of such monsters also serve as decent sources of the intrinsic.
Identification
The ring of cold resistance is 150zm like many other rings with resistance properties.
History
In Hack 1.21, which is based on Jay Fenlason's Hack, a ring of fire and cold resistance exists that confers both properties. The ring of cold resistance appears as its own item in Hack for PDP-11, and is also included in the initial item list for Hack 1.0.
Messages
- The cold water faucet flashes brightly for a moment.
- You dropped a ring of cold resistance into a sink - this will prompt you to type-name the ring.
Variants
EvilHack
In EvilHack, the ring of cold resistance is worthwhile as an extrinsic source of the property to safely traverse the Ice Queen's Realm without sustaining constant cold damage from the level itself or the attacks of several monsters within - beware of ice nymphs stealing the ring off your finger if you do not have full intrinsic resistance or a backup extrinsic source!
