Sigmund



Sigmund is an non-player character who is a member of H.A.M and a former advisor to Duke Horacio. He has been involved in three attempts to destroy the Dorgeshuun goblins. The first was during the Lost Tribe quest, the second during the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest, and the third from Another slice of H.A.M. quest.

Lost Tribe
During this quest, sends the player to find silverware allegedly stolen by underground goblins. During this quest it is discovered that Sigmund has taken the silverware and is a member of Humans Against Monsters, or H.A.M. His attempts at creating a war between Misthalin and the Dorgeshuun were thwarted, and he was dismissed for treason by Duke Horacio.

Death to the Dorgeshuun
During the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest, a H.A.M member reveals that Sigmund and Johanhus Ulsbrecht, head of H.A.M, are "planning something big". After eavesdropping on the H.A.M council, it is discovered that they are using a machine they bought from the dwarves of Keldagrim for unknown purposes. When the dead Dorgeshuun Zanik has been revived, she reveals that the HAM are going to use the machine to flood the Dorgeshuun capital, Dorgesh-Kaan.

After infiltrating the caves with the machine in it and slaying the H.A.M helpers, the player and Zanik battle the level 50 Sigmund. Using a Ring of Life, he escapes death and swears that they will meet again. The ring works even if you reduce his hitpoints to 0.

During this battle the player discovers Sigmund is a Saradominist; he uses a protection prayer called up by the powers of Saradomin.

Combat Strategy
Sigmund is rather simple to defeat. First, players must defeat his cronies. Afterwards, both the player and Zanik can focus on Sigmund alone. Sigmund, probably out of spite of Zanik, will use Protect from Missiles rather than the protection prayer against whatever combat style you use, making him vulnerable.

Another Slice of H.A.M.
In this quest Sigmund and his men ambush goblins at the Goblin Village. After a brief struggle he captures Zanik, and ties her to the new rail line linking Keldagrim and Dorgesh-Kaan in the hopes of starting war between the two cities. However his plans are foiled by an adventurer who defeats him and manages to get Zanik off the track just before the train arrives.

Combat Strategy


Sigmund is harder to defeat this time. Not only is there no Zanik to help you, but he also has gained 14 levels since last time (from 50 to 64). However, thanks to the to goblin generals giving you the Ancient Mace, the player can steal his favour of the Gods so they have prayer and he does not.
