Talk:Yeenoghu
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?
