Angband orc

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Angband orcs, found in dNetHack, are much stronger than regular orcs, being survivors from the First Age. In most cases, they appear only in the company of an orc of the ages of stars. As such, they will probably not be encountered until the ascension run, at which point the character will probably be more than strong enough to deal with them.

However, Angband orcs do randomly generate in the Borehole, the lowest section of the Tolkien-themed Chaos quest. Angband orcs encountered at this point in the mid-game should not be taken lightly due to their high damage output.
