The mad minstrel is a unique NPC found lurking in a small hut around the top-centre of the wilderness. Whilst he is helpful to any player, the mad minstrel plays a vital role for PCs attempting an Ultra Ending. His nemesis is Filk, the quickling bard. In battle, the mad minstrel is very fast and evasive and can dole out a large number of attacks per turn, including a disarming attack. He is thus best off being attacked from afar, though there's generally no reason to attack him anyway (unless the PC is really desperate to lose their cursed equipped weapon).
