I first met Yeenoghu while sacrificing something as a chaotic player. I was much less experienced with NetHack back then, having then read few spoilers; that was before the first game in which I reached the Rogue level. Yeenoghu stepped into the path of my ranged weapons, thus I died in that game to missiles. I had been careful to have Yeenoghu follow me down staircases, not knowing that keeping Yeenoghu around was useless. The only reason to have Yeenoghu made peaceful is to avoid a fight in Gehennom. --Kernigh 04:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I first met Yeenoghu at dungeon level 11 or something. He had 3 other demon minions with him (barbed devils). How the hell did this happen? --Azzkikr 09:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Someone might have left Yeenoghu on the bones level, and because Yeenoghu is a demon, it can have summoned other demons. --Kernigh 15:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
So I was dipping some potions into a fountain so that I could get some holy water. I'm in the Gnomish Mines, and a Water Demon shows up. "Crap," says I. Then out of nowhere I get blasted by the Invisible Yeenoghu. How the heck did a Water Demon summon Yeenoghu? EAKugler 21:17, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yeenoghu is a demon lord and any demon that can summon has a small chance of summoning him.--Ray Chason 22:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Indeed this happened to me some years ago when Yeenoghu still had the touch-of-death bug. The fountain was at the Oracle's place. I zapped an unknown wand out of desperation; a lightning bolt shot out, hit Yeenoghu, played off the opposite wall, hit Yeenoghu again, hit me and toasted half of my wands. Yeenoghu zapped right off to the upstairs. I made tracks for the downstairs and narrowly escaped YASD. Alas, I don't remember how that game ended.--Ray Chason 22:30, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Is Yeenoghu tameable? Also is playing as a chaotic and sacrificing him a good idea?
Yeenoghu is not generally tamable (though perhaps a magic trap would do the trick?). Sacrificing him is not possible since he never leaves a corpse. Sacrificing to summon him isn't really significant; it saves you a fight later on, but he's not a particularly difficult demon lord. The fact that he hangs around you like some giant demented demonic puppy can be irksome. Moreover, summoning Juiblex (which is also possible when chaotic and sacrificing your race) can be detrimental if you wish to use him to quickly travel across his swamp. So, basically, I'd rate summoning him with a giant "meh."
I was practising with my lance against a water demon in the gnomish mines when it summoned Yeenoghu. YAAD. >_>
