Revision as of 07:54, 13 June 2009
I modified this page to remove the line about level 22 or below characters never seeing an Archon before collecting the Amulet. It is possible to see on in Vlad's Tower, which may have a high enough dungeon level while not being considered part of Gehennom. 134.84.168.112 19:01, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Archon also could be in bones, couldn't he? --79.111.89.101 20:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Archon care: polytrap
Going atheist pacifist this game, I'd like to take proper care of my archon. How do I give it 100% magic resistance (against polymorph traps)? It won't wear cloaks or armor, and I'm not sure it would make use of magicbane or quest artifacts. -Tjr 12:41, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
