A centipede is a lowercase red "c" that appears at the beginning of the mid-game (around 8-9 usually). They inflict '''weakness''' on you, which temporarily saps your strength. This makes it harder to hit (because you become too weak to use your current weapon effectively); in groups with other enemies, this can be devestating. |

| This monstrous centipede's incisors are imbued with a horrible venom that will slowly kill its prey. |
A centipede is a lowercase red "c" that appears at the beginning of the mid-game (around 8-9 usually). They inflict weakness on you, which temporarily saps your strength. This makes it harder to hit (because you become too weak to use your current weapon effectively); in groups with other enemies, this can be devestating.
Centipedes reduce your strength by 1 with each successful hit.
Weakness is on a timer. No matter how low the timer is for your previous batch of weakness, a new bite from a centipede will weaken you further and refresh the timer.
You can deal with centipedes many of the same ways you deal with acid mounds:
- Run
- Throw darts/etc.
- Send in your allies, but beware: weakness affects them, too.
- Attack with a spear from behind a tougher monster, or with an axe around a corner
- Engage in melee when you don't expect any other fights soon after
- Engage in melee and drink a Potion of Strength or a Potion of Healing after the fight.
- Keep light equipment that you can switch into after being weakened.
Because centipedes do not damage your equipment, scrolls of protection will not help you.
You can remove the effects of centipede poison by drinking a Potion of Strength or a Potion of Healing.
