Talk:Amulet of Yendor

So is there any benefit of having the amulet? Or is it just an end game burden?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.186.134.103 (talk • contribs)

It gives clairvoyance. And enables you to ascend the game. ;) Progo 18:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't it prevent Level Teleportation?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.169.203.51 (talk • contribs)

Yep, all kinds except cursed potion of gain lvl.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.77.128.241 (talk • contribs)

What about if you offer it at the wrong altar?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.127.77 (talk • contribs)

The altar's god gains dominion over yours, protects you from your god's wrath, and you escape the Astral Plane in a cloud of orange smoke. This does not count as an ascension. Your scorefile reads something like "escaped in celestial disgrace (with the Amulet)."--Ray Chason 16:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Honestlly, with such a pain in the rear holding this thing is, one wonders why the heck gods even want the damnable thing.--65.164.40.107 22:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

You realize that the Gods are not like you and I.--158.111.4.27 18:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Another sacrifice question: what happens if you sacrifice it at an altar (aligned, unaligned, or cross-aligned) within the dungeon? Say at Minetown? Does the game even let you #offer it at non-high altars? Thanks!

Any penatlies if you aren't holding the amulet?

Is it possible to drop the amulet, and then just kick it around the dungeon (Only putting it on to go up floors) in order to avoid the penalties for holding it?
