The mindflayer is a are a deadly late game enemy found in the deeper levels of the dungeon. It does not use weapons to attack, relying most on their uniquely dangerous brain sucking attack, capable of sucking intelligence from the creature it is attacking.

Location[]

  • Depths of 1200-3000 feet;
  • Depths of 420-920 meters.

Loot[]

Traits[]

Mindflayers have been observed to have the following abilities or behaviours:

  • Alignment: Neutral;
  • Attack: Brain-suck. Drains 1 intelligence per attack;
  • Magic: Telepathic;
  • Resistance: Can resist most magic.

Tips[]

  • Wearing a hard (metal) helmet will protect against the brain-suck attack; the mindflayer will need to first remove the headgear before being able to attack the head directly. A character losing all of their Intelligence will die of brainlessness;
  • Wearing a greased helmet adds further protection versus the brain-suck attack by adding additional chances to prevent the mindflayer from removing the characters helmet;
  • The bit of mind flayer innards are a very desirable drop for spellcasting classes as consuming them may increase the intelligence or wisdom stats (see also for methods to recover lost stats).
