Talk:Juiblex

Last night I tried digging my way down in Juiblex's swamp. I stood next to a moat while zapping a wand of digging, and the dug hole was filled with water, and I nearly drowned. I am wondering if this also happens when digging when the moat is not a square next to me. --Azzkikr 08:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I've lost great amounts of potions and scrolls with this one. Always find a square surrounded by solid ground. Progo 13:51, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

"If the altar is chaotic or unaligned, a demon will be summoned under some circumstances (need to document these!). The demon will be friendly if you're chaotic and hostile otherwise." -- Was a chaotic monk, hallucinating, hadn't prayed at all before and I sacrificed on a chaotic altar something..think it was a were-rat. Got message "The blood covers the altar, you are terrified". Jubilex was summoned and I died. Qn: so can anyone explain what happened?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.78.248.57 (talk • contribs) .

See altar for the skinny on sacrifices of all kinds. Were-creatures count as human when sacrificing. You sacrificed a creature of your own race on a chaotic altar. If you were chaotic, then Juiblex was generated as peaceful; but you were hallucinating and perhaps hit him by mistake.--Ray Chason 13:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I was just wondering what the use of Juiblex being teleported to the alter could be, or if it is useful in any way.NerdLord 20:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

See here for details, but basically demon lord summoning is useful to chaotics because it makes these powerful guys peaceful so they don't kill you later on. For neutrals and lawfuls it's just an immediate, fatal punishment for saccing your own race. So don't do that. --Andronikus 20:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Life Saving

I've had Juiblex life-save on me once. It was on NAO, so I could dig up the TTYREC if absolutely necessary. Despite this, the list of vanquished monsters reported that he died only once, so this probably isn't of much interest to extinctionists. --Darth l33t 21:17, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Please do. People keep inserting this myth about no head - in fact, the monster amulet code does not check for body parts at all. --Tjr (talk) 09:03, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Juiblex can be generated with an amulet of life saving: only animal body, eploding attacks, mindlessness, ghost, and non-living would exclude that (muse.c#rnd_misc_item, Makemon.c#line658).

He will wear any such amulets, since there is no reference to any kind of body parts in worn.c#m_dowear_type, its caller Source:Worn.c#line376, or its caller Makemon.c#line1081. --Tjr (talk) 09:56, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
