[[spoiler: With a secret spell you can summon an extremely tough warrior demoness, armed with a {{BFS}} and clad in what looks golden Ylside armor, who attacks you. After you kill her, in a fair fight or using some trick, she explodes, but you can pick up her sword and a random piece of her armor (helmet, leggings of chestplate) appears in your inventory. However, those pieces are breakable, have no model (they become invisible if you put them on), and have poor armor class compared to Ylside armor. While the leggings have decent armor class (the second largest, actually), they're still half as strong as the Ylside ones and not worth the fight. and the chest plate, probably due to mistake, is only as good as the plain chestplate (''four'' times worse than Ylside). At least the golden helmet plays it straight, as it's the strongest helmet in the game.]]
