What do I do when Njam materializes and attacks?
  • 1 of 4: Run!
  • 2 of 4: He'll always teleport away after a short time, so just concentrate on making sure he doesn't hit you. (Thankfully, he has no ranged attacks. Some god!)
  • 3 of 4: If you have someone with a very high Dark Magic skill, you can try casting the Paralyze spell on Njam. It won't always work, but when it does, it'll freeze him in place until he times out and vanishes.
  • 4 of 4: Note that Njam will appear and attack periodically even if you haven't been to his house or stolen his precious plans, so you gain nothing by entering this area to clear it out early (except a bit of experience and treasure).
