Strategy:Dragonslayer

0.9.9.7

The Dragonslayer, perhaps the most elusive weapon, is the hardest weapon to use if you don't know how to obtain it.

A few of the DoomRL gurus know how to drop both the Berserker Armor and the Dragonslayer every time in a run, but the rest of us are kind of clueless on how to do such a feat.

However, here are some guidelines:

• The Dragonslayer and the Berserker armor are related, but one can actually use the Dragonslayer without the Berserker Armor. The Dragonslayer is required to WEAR the Berserker armor, not vice versa.

• The Dragonslayer will drop in the Unholy Cathedral in place of Azarel's Sycthe when played on Nightmare! (under some extra conditions, possibly on a damageless run?). Unfortunately, no one except those who know exactly how to have been able to pick it up and use it.

• The Berserker Armor can only be worn if you are wielding the Dragonslayer.

Not much has been found out about the Dragonslayer. If someone finds out a way to pick up the Dragonslayer reliably, we do not encourage you to post how on this wiki.
