  • The invisible Yeenoghu escapes the dungeon!

    From Joe Casserley@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 4 08:06:16 2022
    I haven't come across this one before...

    My current Healer ran into Yeenoghu while clearing out the VotD, and while not a threat he was just an annoyance as I couldn't get a decent hit in. So I waited until he was next to me, then levelported to Dlvl 1 figuring he couldn't run upstairs anymore.

    Sure enough, cornered him on the upstairs and started pummeling. After a few hits:

    You hit the invisible Yeenoghu! The invisible Yeenoghu escapes the dungeon!

    So, will he be waiting for me along with Rodney when I enter the Planes? Or has he gone for good now?

    Thanks, Joe

    Monsters without amulets escape the dungeon and are
    gone for good when they leave up the up stairs.

    This is actually really good information and I doubt it's in the wiki.

    Chaotics and others often purposefully summon these guys peaceful. You can then lead them to level one (or summon them at a low level altar) and beat on them a bit near the upstairs, getting them to leave and ridding yourself of them once and for all.
    Not a bad trick, not bad at all.
