Tuonelankone (listen ) (also known as the Necrobot) is a robotic enemy with humanoid appearance on tank treads which can resurrect nearby enemies.

Behaviour

Upon detecting a target, Necrobots will fire an accelerating skull-shaped projectile at their direction, inflicting 20 damage and applying a modified version of Venomous Curse. Similarly to the Salamurhaajarobotti, it comes equipped with a forward-facing shield that deflects projectiles. It has remarkably high defenses against nearly all damage types, but is weak against Electric Damage.

Enemies that enter the Necrobot's effective radius will be surrounded by lime green sparkles. When that enemy is subsequently killed, a green skull icon will appear in the exact position where it was killed, and after about three seconds, it will be revived at full HP. This can be done an infinite amount of times as long as they enter the Necrobot's radius again, but will not drop Gold if killed again. Notably, corpses do not disappear.

More accurately, enemies are given an extra life of sorts every 40 frames in the presence of a Necrobot, the buff represented by the sparkles. Due to this, enemies that enter its radius and the move out of it can be revived regardless. This also means enemies can be killed permanently if killed quickly enough.

Necrobots can pick up and use wands.

Necrobots are only found in the Frozen Vault, Power Plant, and The Tower. SPOILER: In New Game Plus, Necrobots can also spawn in The Vault and the Lukki Lair. They can also be found in the Hiisi Base in further loops.

Enemies around it will be revived when killed.

As long as the enemy entered its radius once, the Tuonelankone doesn't need to be near for them to be revived.

Polymorph Immunity Farming

Necrobots have utility with regards to attaining large quantities of Stinky Meat. One can quickly attain hours of Polymorph immunity, rendering one functionally invincible if sufficiently late game. To do this, one can confine a Necrobot and a Muodonmuutosmestari in the same room and repeatedly harvest its corpse, being careful not to kill the latter too quickly as detailed above. Each corpse confers somewhat more than 2 minutes of polymorph immunity. Iron Stomach is recommended, otherwise you will be Bursting at the seams when eating too much.

Of note are some tricks to keep in mind while moving around enemies: With rapidfire Homebringer Teleport Bolt wands, if you move an enemy into a ceiling, it will stay there. This is useful for confining the Necrobot, which will not suffocate. Enemies can also upwarp through thin segments of ceiling but will not go downwards, which is helpful for the chamber for Muodonmuutosmestari.

It is of note that the Wizards' Den and Power Plant are relatively close to each other, and contain their respective enemies frequently.

An example of trapping enemies in ceilings. Note that the Necrobot is what you ought to trap for the above process, the Muodonmuutosmestari is for the sake of example.

Enemies can be bumped upwards into small areas via Homebringer Teleport Bolt wands, like so. This is useful for confining the Muodonmuutosmestari.
