Imp
The Imp is an NPC (Non-Player Character) in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that appears in the City level (depth 16+). The Imp offers a quest that varies between killing either golems or monks.
Description
Imps are lesser demons. They are notable for neither their strength nor their magic talent, but they are quite smart and sociable. Many imps prefer to live among non-demons.
Mechanics
- Type: NPC (Non-Player Character)
- Location: City level (depth 17-22)
- Spawn Chance: Random chance (higher at lower city depths)
- Spawn Condition: Dungeon depth > 16 with random chance of (20 - depth)
- Quest Type: Kill quest with 2 possible variations:
- Defensive Ability: Cannot be harmed (1000 defense skill, no damage taken)
- Reward: A specially upgraded ring (level 2, but cursed)
Behavior
- Approaches the hero and offers a quest when first seen
- Reacts differently depending on whether the hero has tokens from required enemies
- Vanishes after quest completion, saying “See you, [Hero Name]!”
- If the hero has enough tokens when talking to the Imp, the reward window appears
- Quest is only active when the Imp has given the quest and it's not completed
Quest Mechanics
- Golem Quest Option: Alternative quest requiring 6 Golem tokens
- Monk Quest Option: Alternative quest requiring 8 Monk tokens
- Each time a targeted enemy is killed during an active Imp quest, a Dwarf Token will drop
- Reward is a random ring from the level treasury, upgraded to +2 but cursed
Strategy
- This quest is generally worth completing as the ring reward is valuable despite being cursed
- The quest is often easier if you can avoid the required enemy type until you're stronger
- The cursed ring can be uncursed later with a Scroll of Remove Curse
- Since Imps are unkillable, they're safe to interact with even when low on health
