The named NPCs are without a question the toughest opponents you will face during any run. Luckily, most of these can be defeated using a variation of the same tactic: kiting. See the following gif for how to do it properly: [[Media:kiting.gif]](The thumbnail doesn't seem to be working for a preview, Cap?) ====Rondol====[[Rondol]] is rather weak, but very capable of killing you early on without good enough armor. Easily killed with the elite guard's equipment. Cannot see the invisible, so use that to your advantage. Drops a nice wand of polymorph for some hot polypiling action. ====Guugzamesh====[[Guugzamesh]], like Rondol, is not a match against a properly equipped player. Cannot see the invisible. Drops nothing of real value. ====Xinroch====[[Xinroch]] is the first rather dangerous unique NPC. His flaming longsword does damage through armor, so wear some fire resistance for him. Landing a hit on him can be difficult due to his very accurate shield, so you may wish to consider hitting him with wands instead of melee. Note that being undead, he does not regerate HP and as such is vulnerable to hit-and-run attacks and traps. Can see through invisibility. Drops a wand of resurrection. ====Ur-Khan====[[Ur-Khan]] is a very powerful melee combatant that can and will one-shot you given the chance without very good equipment and HP. He is also relatively fast, but can still be outrun with a haste/slow combination and some 16 agility.
