Stygian Darkness

Stygian Darkness #1175

Roman Dodecahedrons were first discovered in the 1700s, and in the centuries that followed more than 100 of these mysterious copper objects sprung up across Europe. Nobody really knew what purpose the Dodecahedrons served, until, by pure fortune, one of them found itself in close proximity to the creature M'aol, upon whom the power of Stygian Darkness was exerted.

Stygian Darkness is a non damaging Temporary weapon that becomes available to be obtained from a Halloween basket for 20 treats after M'aol is summoned. Five Stygian Darkness are given per purchase.

Use of a Stygian Darkness against an interdimensional NPC allows all players in a fight to damage that NPC without use of a Crystalline Falcata for 20 seconds after being thrown.

Despite its high costs, like all Temporary weapons, the Stygian Darkness is single use and will be used up if thrown in a fight.

When thrown at a player it gives the text "Player A threw Stygian Darkness at Player B bewildering them briefly", but deals no damage and produces no additional effects.

This item is an untradable item, meaning it cannot be sold on the item market, traded, sent to another player, or dumped.

Historical Notes

The Stygian Darkness was added to the game's code in late 2021, but remained hidden in the API until 30 October 2024, when M'aol was summoned.

In 2025, the temporary item's effect was reduced from 30 seconds to 5 seconds.
