Reading a non-confused [[scroll of remove curse]] (of any [[BUC|BUC status]]) removes the chain. If those are not available, there are a few other ways.
 
 
 
[[Polymorph]]ing has several alternatives. Polymorph into a [[nymph]] to remove it by using the [[monster (extended command)|#monster]] command. You can also polymorph into a [[metallivore]] and eat the ball away. The third option is to polymorph into an [[amorphous monsters|amorphous]], [[whirly monsters|whirly]] or [[non-solid monsters|non-solid monster]] and thus slip out of the chain.
 
 
 
However, if polymorphing is not an option, you may dig or find a [[pit]], drop the ball in it and push a boulder on it.

The scroll of punishment is one of the nastiest scrolls in the game. It creates a heavy iron ball and an iron chain that are attached to you and hinder your movements.

It is expensive, so when unidentified, less careful players might mistake it for the scroll of genocide or the scroll of stinking cloud. When blessed, this scroll is harmless; you only get the message "You feel guilty". This happens also when you read this scroll while confused. Also, if you are polymorphed into an amorphous, whirly or non-solid monster when reading this scroll, the ball and chain will appear but fall off immediately.

If you are already being punished when reading this scroll, the weight of the iron ball increases.

See punishment for more information, including how to become unchained to the iron ball.
