Shock resistance

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Shock resistance is one of the vital resistances to acquire. It will protect you against the shocking attacks of spheres, energy vortices, grid bugs, electric eels, and blue and Chromatic dragons. Mjollnir and lightning bolts will not hurt you, nor will electricity traps on chests. BEWARE: Spheres, vortices, grid bugs, dragons, eels, Mjollnir, lightning bolts, and shock traps may still detonate wands and rings. It may be acquired by eating gelatinous cubes, blue dragons, storm giants, puddings, electric eels, or the chromatic dragon. If it's of the right material to eat, you may also get it by eating the ring of shock resistance. "Your health currently feels amplified!"
