Ohayou gozaimasu, /rlg/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's play our best today!
>>144208107
but it's less tedious to hold down tab
Could anyone direct me to a comprehensive guide for UnReal World?
Thank you, /rlg/.
>>144207903
Trident is better, but have you seriously found no higher tier maces yet?
>>144207903
Once you pick a weapon class, just stick with it.
Something good will come along.
>>144209618
I've got a +4 mace of venom, and there's a morningstart laying around in lair, should I just pick it up and then make it distorsion?
>>144210123
Well I'll just rock with maces then. This mace ain't too bad, except that it makes me go berserk when I'm fighting a single kobold most of the times.
>>144208658
I've only started playing it recently too, but Fishing seems bretty OP. You can trade a couple of roasted pikes and some trash for a fine battleaxe/sword, and it's a great source of food.
It's a really comfy game though.
>>144210530
A +0 morningstar will probably perform better than either of those, just based on how the game calculates damage. I'd brand it ASAP, it's a very good weapon that can carry you through most of the game until you find an eveningstar, or a good two-hander.
>>144210530
Get the morning star
>>144210530
save your disto brand for a great mace eveningstar or dwhip.
great maces in particular are super common
It took a while but snotling are patient. Ninjas looks really op desu
>>144210971
To clarify: don't use your disto on the morningstar. If you can brand it with a scroll, I meant.
>poking through the vault files for DCSS
>lugonu_bribe.des
How rare is this thing? I've never seen it, but that's hilarious.
>>144212652
>no ninja_slayer.des
Missed opportunity.
>>144212652
Pretty rare, but people have posted screenshots of it before.
>>144212652
what's it do?
>>144213490
It's a special Lugonu altar. When it comes in to view, an item "emerges from the Abyss." This item is always forbidden under your current god (i.e. a wand of hasting for Chei worshippers.)
If you don't have a god, it's an amulet of faith.
>>144210651
How did you learn the game? The hard way?
>>144213904
>his item is always forbidden under your current god
Okawaru doesn't have any forbidden items.
What would happen as an oka dude? Still "faith?
>>144213490
>>144214065
I think that if your god has no forbidden items/conducts, nothing happens. You wouldn't even know it was a special altar, except that Lugonu altars are rare.
>>144213904
>>144214072
That's fucking amazing
>>144214072
I like that xom's forbidden item helps you worship him better.
>>144214065
It should give a -3 cloak
>>144212849
what about this one
>>144214429
Invocations has no impact with Xom, but it does with Lugonu :^)
>>144214513
But useless items are Oka's forte.
>>144214520
Funny.
>>144213923
Yeah, and I have still a lot to learn.
>>144208107

I just started playing DCSS and its pretty fun, my best try so far is 8113 on D:10, how close am I getting to winning?
>>144215538
I wish I had a cool tutorial of some sort.
I only manage to find crappy 1+ hour-long YouTube video of dudes rambling about the game and delivering piss-poor directions.
>>144218867
There's no pasta?
>>144218624
Considering that my worst win (out of two) with 3 runes had a score of 1371613 (more than a million and half points than you) and I visited 52 levels, you've still loads to play. Don't worry, you'll get good in no time.
>>144218624
baby steps
I was auto traveling between Orcish Mines and Lair and lost 1 of my mercenaries.
Is there an easy solution to find it or do I have to backtrack the entire Dungeon?
whats the holdup on a new cata dda stable? been like a year.
>>144220365
I thought that game died a long time ago. Didn't they promise z-level building and they never delivered? Aren't the NPCs still shit?
>>144219917
You can learn recall and cast it on each floor
>>144218624
post server and name if you play online, I'll coach you.
>>144219917
in the future press control-e first
Is there a way to have multiple pcb saves if you compiled from source in linux? I'm kinda tired of my demigod and want to make an imp dosh knight, but I also don't want to lose the time I've already put in the demigod
>>144211545
What influences the frequency of sneak attacks, and what's the multiplier on it?
Ninjas are fun, but I found I has trouble actually killing end game uniques,or anything I couldn't slaughter instantly.
>>144221494
Add the argument -ualt to start a new save under the user "alt".
>>144221424
I had that on
>>144221713
Thanks
>>144219024
wot?
>>144222439
Take a closer look at the OP.
>>144218624
D:10 isn't bad at all for a new player.
hmm
>>144221271
Thanks for the offer, but I would embarrass the shit out of my self. I'll just keep brute forcing my way through and figuring out what I'm doing along the way.
>>144223007
It gets everyone once.
>>144223007
Classic Oka gift.
>>144220365
they added so much unstable shit like magazines and 3d z levels that I predict nethack will release 4.00 before DDA 0.D "stable" will be released.
>>144221638
if the monster's asleep or fleeing you always get a stab
otherwise if you have ninja stealth active it checks your level and stealth skill against their level in some weird function
sleep stabs are * (3 + level/20)
fleeing stabs are * 3/2
stealth stabs are * (5/2 + level/25)
also there's a chance to do *5 damage on any attack which stacks with those multipliers (and is more common on stabs than normal attacks)
and there's also a chance to fatally injure monsters which hits for half their maxhp. 1 in 666 on normal attacks, 1 in 11 on stabs (but not against uniques), and increasing chances if they're under half health
>>144227613
not all of that shit is in the screenshot though
just read cmd1.c and control-f "backstab"
>>144222564
>http://pastebin.com/pkf1qnuZ
The pasta is barebones desu
>>144227613
How are you supposed to kill big J as a ninja? Or any other boss for that matter? Do you just impale them while they're sleeping?
>>144228830
yeah, actually.
First attack you take on J slices him down to ****.
>7.62mm Type P rounds leave behind 7.62x39mm casings
Sasuga, Granade
>>144229047
But what happens if they wake up before? Reset the level?
>>144229207
>But what happens if they wake up before?
He's always awake. You just *CRIT* him for the first hit and that's it.
>>144228830
how big is J's monlite?
you pretty much have to step away to get ninjastealth and then step back to hit, and make sure to have lots of stealth skill.
also apparently if you use the rush attack skill it ignores penalties from monster light even if you're still inside it
on the bright side ninjas get a buff that gives them a 50% chance to just take 0 damage so that's pretty good for high level fights
It's upsetting how well fleshed out ninjas are and then 95% of the other classes are just fucking boring or tedious
>>144218867
I watched a multipart lets play on it that was really informative. Maybe check that out
>>144229659
Yeah, the only classes I ever had fun with is monk, ninja, samurai, duelist, and time-lord. Pretty much the reason why I play nothing but monster now but stay fuck away from high exp penalty races.
>>144230486
does dcss let you reinforce your fursuit with kevlar plates?
>>144230636
No and for good reason
Somebody stop me
>dicks is dead
>whales is a normalfag now
>granade is still alive
>chris still has no idea what he's doing
>DCSS has less content everyday
>>144230842
does dcss let you take the masochist perk and craft yourself a pair of leather cat ears? :3
>tfw your win makes the OP
I can't handle this type of pressure
>>144231094
>namefag jerkoff
Kill yourself.
>>144231094
also apparently chris only has a few hours per week of internet access to read messages? does he work on a fucking submarine or something?
>>144231245
>I never win so I never feel this pressure
stay jelly
Are there any multiplayer rouges? These seem fun and it seems like it'd be even funnier if I could try to stay alive and survive with friends.
>>144231516
There are some multiplayer rogue"lites"
Why is C:DDA so easy? All it takes even with the worst start possible is for you to find a knife, shred everything into rags, find a liquor store and a compressed airhorn and look a it go. Whole city's in flames with all the zombies dead. And that's not even getting into making a super Deathmobile and finding new towns to burn.
>8 races and 13 classes left to beat in DCSS
>realized I still won't be able to fill in the removed classes/races
>those blank boxes will be there forever
>>144232301
play previous versions, duh
>>144232247
If you think that makes the game easy you should try martial arts.
>>144226004
>tfw still using 0.C
>it's over a year old at this point
Really at some point they needed to have said "no more new shit until we get the current additions ironed out or removed."
>>144233842
What else did you expect from an adom-tier dev?
>>144233927
What does being an adom-tier dev entail? I've never played it and know nothing about him aside from the kikery I've seen him accused of here.
>>144226004
I hate how you can walk downstairs and pass out for eight hours and walk back up and combat resumes normally without anything moved since you last left it.
>>144235627
Taking forever to implement shit. At least DDA is free though and adom has been doing some nice updates lately.
>>144235627
>What does being an adom-tier dev entail?
Most of the beef for Biskup was because he refused to release the source for ADOM despite not developing it for over a decade.
It cooled down since development began again. The kikery isn't bad either since he still puts out free updates.
>did two hells already
>only now just realized I can shaft myself to the ends of each hell
forget digging, shafting is degenerate.
>>144238909
>shafting to 7th floor
Nigga, one of these days you're gonna land on Antaeus and 3 Ice Demons.
Jesus, with the way i've been playing i should NOT be alive right now
I've gotten stupidly lucky with that disto axe, even at +0 shit's incredible, and Fedhas was surprisingly good too. Haven't found an use for her abilities other than evolve, maybe some of you can tell me how to use them
>>144223007
>>144224125
>>144224571
>troll gets trolled
Ebin.
>>144229051
>Sasuga
what does this mean
>>144238909
not really that great considering you can skip most of hell anyway, if you're ready to take on the end boss you're more than ready to skip 6 levels of fodder
also >>144240092
>>144240327
>Jesus, with the way i've been playing i should NOT be alive right now
You wont be for much longer, axes tend to favor a risky playstyle (letting enemies surround you and cleaving them down) eventually you're gonna bite more than you can chew, i've lost 3 incredibely strong axe cleavers with a shitton of regen just by getting too arrogant.
>>144240327
>and Fedhas was surprisingly good too. Haven't found an use for her abilities other than evolve, maybe some of you can tell me how to use them
You have to use its abilities creativily, you can use rain to carrot narrow passages or seal off sections of the dungeon, or create oklob farms and surround them with water and lure enemies into them, fedhas works extremely well with merfolk because you can shape the terrain to your own advantage
>>144240327
I recommend you drop a the broadaxe and the shield.
Get a battleaxe or executioners axe (if you can find one)
A battleaxe of freezing is common drop from frost giants and can probably outdps that broadaxe even with a +0 enchant.
tl;dr one handed axes are shit
Just got a blessed amulet in PCB, what does "blessed by the gods" mean?
Also, does the regeneration from this amulet stack with the regeneration spell from the first life book?
veil tank OP
>>144240327
Fedhas is a god that has abilities that are always situational, yet can really work well.
Remember that sunlight reveals invisible and is really helpful to fight enemies that rely on water. Also spores are pretty good, use them. Also remember to not waste too many fruits.
>>144244438
The shield has been incredibly good since i've been stuck with this axe since almost the beginning, but once i find a scroll of brand weapon i'll be able to safely remove the axe and switch to an exec axe i found in that hell vault
>>144244525
It has a chance to resist cursing. Basically flavour.
On a weapon it means you can use it on a priest without penalty -- except you probably can't train the skill above !basic so it's still not that helpful. Oh well.
It was kill or be killed.
And the reward was big.
Can someone explain to me how dual-wielding works? My warrior has 2 swords going on but can't hit shit for his life. My current skill is [Un] so do I just stomach this and keep hitting low-level mobs to grind the skill up?
i'm getting almost 16 blows per round help
What's something curbstompy for PCB that's not an android rune knight?
>>144245830
it is more accurate (in melee) to start with light weapons, though in practice I only rarely intentionally use a light main or off weapon for any real length of time. Really just keep adventuring and wailing on things and it will go up to Beginner and Skilled quite quickly, a bit until Expert, and a long while until Master
gloves of genji ego also help, as do the rare drop of Mephistopheles pic relateds that are the same but better (worn on my current balrog warrior)
>>144245830
Yes. Everyone starts at [Un] dual wielding, gotta work your way up. Some classes (like warrior) go up pretty fast, some slower, some can't go very high at all.
>>144246127
Demigod rune knight
>>144246127
tonberry monk
many kinds of Mauler
ninja, warrior, swordmaster
Q, jelly, giant monsters
>>144246127
literally maulers
like dwarf mauler, or whatever non-retarded race substitution of your choice
>>144244954
Thanks. It also gives +10 AC and +1 str and light radius so ill stick with it.
Regarding weapon training, should i prioritize +hit? or the posibility to train that type of wapon over skilled? As a pala i'm torn beetween a *slay* orc warhammer and a *slay* human long sword. I've been evoiding the desition by diving into the orc caves, but i reached the boss and he almost killed me so it'll be a while till i go back there.
>>144246156
>>144246220
Thanks guys. One more question, how do you kill Azog as a human? This is my first time playing one and I chose warrior because I usually play casters. Humans are just so weak though, usually I can get a race to 20-25 easily by messing around in orc caves and then kill Azog but even a level 20 something human gets destroyed. Do I just grind until 30 so I can get the awesome special ability? Which one is the best for warriors? I remember some guy posted a picture of the choices you can take and I saw ambidexterity and thought that would be awesome for a dual-wielding warrior.
>>144244525
there's only one "regen" property, and it doesn't stack
same with everything else that only shows a single tick on your character sheed, like free action, hold life, sinv, etc
>>144246781
basically all you need are some ?Phase Door, some !Cure Critical Wounds, 1 to 3 !Speed, and a decent map (keep regenerating the floor until you get something where he is without orc diggers and not in a huge open space where phase door can be deadly). Azog is naturally +10 speed so characters that aren't well above the curve will have trouble in melee.
Also, since you're a warrior (and thus pretty good at shooting) you can add in a bow and arrows (you can pay to enchant up your arrows in Morivant).
Quaff speed, shoot at him until he closes, hit him a bit, read phase when you take some damage, quaff potions until you're high hp, shoot at him until he closes, requaff speed if you run out, on loop until he dies
>>144246993
I think regen maybe does stack in pcb?
>>144245230
holy fuck
>>144245830
pretty much, yeah
worth noting that lower-weight weapons are easier to dual-wield and thus easier to hit with
>>144232247
>worst start possible
Anon, if you give yourself the worst start possible, you categorically CANNOT WIN.
I don't get the appeal of playing on EZ mode and then complaining about it being too easy.
>I'll play the game on 2% of maximum difficulty
>then complain about it being too easy
>instead of raising difficulty
>>144246781
ambidexterity still gives a bonus but warriors are already pretty good at dual wielding
it would be better if you were some other class with a shitty dual wield skill
>>144247249
cdda difficulty just makes the beginning harder tho
once you have a comfy pile of loot in a van or something you can pretty much live forever, unless you have hordes turned on or you set zombie scaling factor to some ridiculous number and every city has 20 hulks
>>144232247
>>144232491
>>144247249
Cataclysm is about finding your own fun. If you find yourself balking at something, you need to change it up. When I was going to build my outer heaven, I took pacifist and a bunch of other stuff to weaken my character. In the end, I succumbed to a hulk. I could have easily beaten that hulk and not lost 10+ hours of building, crafting and honing my character if I had just used martial arts, ran the damn thing over or used survival suits. But I don't find that remotely enjoyable, and cata isn't the kind of game where I feel compelled to play optimally likecrawl, so it was no skin off my nose. Give yourself a goal and avoid as much cheese as possible.
>>144245830
some day you may
warriors are super good at dual wield, though 2-handing a single weapon, or sword and board, are also good
the shooting potential can be nice too
>>144246781
ambidexterity is good, however it does not stack with and is overruled by the "increases your ability to hit when wielding two weapons" effect of genji ego, mephi gloves, and the occasional super special randart. So if you plan to use those, don't take the mut, though having flexibility with not typing down your glove slot to that can be nice
ambi or genji effect is still pretty damn helpful to warriors as they really don't have alternatives to high-ac opponents besides accuracy, and genji on my current balrog warrior at least adds like ~11% to hit vs higher acs which is huge on almost 16 blows
>>144246339

just get a class with some aoe fire spell, set it to auto-cast whenever it's off cooldown, and rest for 99999 turns

I don't think polymorph potions can do anything other than give mutations.

yeah also always check black markets too. feelsawfulman when you missbuy before seeing the discounted RoS

>>144251972
polymorph potions used to actually change your race but now they only cause mutations

oh huh just checked and this is correct, though stuff like stone of chaos or various other effects call do_poly_self, !polymorph does not
gained and then lost wings, scorpion tail, understand magic, and was ultimately left with intrinsic Recall. Not bad. Makes it easier to switch off of The Jewel of Judgement for the Stone of Life later if I want (and wear some other rChaos).

>I am nowhere near max difficulty, yet the game is too easy. What should I do? Don't tell me to raise difficulty even though the difficulty is too low, normal difficulty should be the perfect difficulty for newbies and greybeards alike

I haven't seen nay difficulty slider other than setting enemies to be fast and add dinosaurs into the game. So if there's some hidden difficulty options tucked away somewhere please drop them on me so I can finally have fun again
>>144253171
do you even need any str with a 52 base damage weapon?
>>144253987
you could up the evolution rate, you could use mobs
>>144254020
Since STR is now a pretty big multiplier, yes, even moreso than normal since the maul has such a big damage dice
>>144253674
It fits the glyph well.
>>144254020
strength is a multiplier
every 10 strength is about +25% to the base damage, and it stacks multiplicatively with the bonuses from skills
>>144253185
does this mean it is a wizard mode thing? or just super autistic abyss type thing

Imagine how much more !!! it would've achieved with some more STR.
Hell, even Might would've added a lot of damage.

no idea
pic unrelated, Qs always unrelated, I mean what the fuck is a Quylthulg I mean seriously
>>144254636
i think he rolled really poorly there
remember that it isn't 52 damage +1100% buta it's actually 1d52
there are also multipliers from fighting and weapon skill, and with shortblades or boots of ass up to +30 slaying bonus before the multiplier, so if he rolls perfectly that stab could do up to 2890 damage, which would give you 9 or 10 exclamation points
I recalled into the stronghold's bottom floor and got a warm welcome by a bunch of magic mushrooms

Lore says that one of the devs of the original Angband fell asleep on his keyboard to find that word on his screen. Being German, he thought it was hilarious and added the monster into the game.

Sadly, no. I think you have to be a really high level for dragons.

Is 0.19 trunk in dcss worth coming back for? I played from 0.12-0.16 stable. Has everything been REMOVED yet? How are all the new gods?
>>144259997
All the new gods are good. Managing LoS is much more important in postend, and the mid/end of a 3 rune is much harder. Nothing super important has been removed without it being replaced in some way, barring some more broken stuff. 2Pak and Hep B are both really fun, and apparently dancer god is really good too. Ru is good too if you haven't used him at all.
This is like the third gnoll patrol on this floor.

RIP UND TEAR
Weaponmaster[bows] with piercing shot is like the most tab-friendly pcb character ever.
Right up until your arrow penetrates into the darkness and a dracolisk vomits nether on you.
>>144256909
of course that means the xp goes mostly to the dragon and not to you
it will eventually level up (though putting it in a poke ball resets it which is bad because it forgets the xp it had before captureballing)
>>144262147
>(though putting it in a poke ball resets it which is bad because it forgets the xp it had before captureballing)
Fuck.
And so the draconian returned to the surface. He had learned all he could in the dungeon, and now looked upward to continue his destiny towards godhood.
>>144262596
Its really amusing to me that you managed to do 7 zigs and you STILL managed to 15 rune faster than one of my normal 15 rune runs. Congrats man, I'm glad that you got to dark maul stab something.
>>144261390
>>144262596
can you people stop ascending it's very triggering
>>144262950
don't worry, you have at least 3 days before i ascend again with the way i play.
>>144262950
Don't ascend shame. It was very brave that he even shared his ascension with us because people like YOU try to ascend shame. Check your roguelike privilege.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
>>144262845
haha, thanks! They make it really fast to do zigs turncount wise when they give you a zig portal at the end of the zig.
And that dark maul stab was really underwhelming, I remember seeing a picture of someone getting a darkmaul stab and getting like 20 !'s, my best was 9 !'s, even with 23 STR.
I mean, if I stab with a dagger and all relevant skill maxxed, it should do hundreds of damage on a stab, right? Well if a dagger is base damage 4 and the dark maul is base damage 52, then it should do 13 times the damage, over 2000 damage. Is that represented by only 9 !'s? I don't know. I'm starting to think that picture was a little doctored in some way.
>>144263315
yeah, best I got was 'You feel omnipotent' from quaffing XP
>>144263758
>9 !'s = 2000
>20 !'s = over 4000
Overkill.
>>144264036
well those numbers are really rough, I don't know the actual damages regular dagger stabs can do. Can you 1-hit stab Antaeus, who has 750 HP? If daggers do 1100% damage on a maximum stab, then that means it would have to do 750/11 = 68 damage before the stabbing multiplier. And 68 damage with a dagger in plain combat seems fucking bonkers. But then crawl is renowned for having convoluted formulas, and I'm not a code diver, so what the heck am I getting at. I dunno. Boots of the assassin aren't as fun as they should be.
>>144264809
oh sorry, it's +1100% damage, so really a multiplier of 1200%, but not really a big difference. Still makes me scratch my head.
>>144264809
They are with executioners axe cleave stabs
>>144265009
hoping for cleaving reaching scythe stabs some day
>a kobold WITH A SHIELD
This is more amusing to me than it should be.
>>144265493
Wait. How far out do the ring of guys camping V:5 stand? They probably stand too far from the stairs, but how hilarious would that shit be if you could get a reachcleavestab on all or most of them at the same time right after coming down?
>>144265532
>the kolbold's shield prevents it from hitting you with it's short sword of distortion
>>144265493
When you draw the cleave card, does that cleave work with the reach on a polearm?
>>144254114
>mobs
I can understand playing the first couple of games with mobs turned off, but C:DDA just doesn't feel right without them. Going through a town should be a matter of smash and grab, moving quickly and grabbing whatever supplies you can while staying ahead of the horde, not clearing out zombies and creating ghost towns.
>>144253101
>super small cities
Turn on mobs, turn city size up to about 5-6. Spawn in the middle of town. Let the fun begin.
Guess I'm gonna take a break from splatting MuMos.
And what's a better way to do it but retrying another fine challenge I tried to do: one-stabbing every unique I find.
One hit. One kill.
My final mission will be one-hitting Antaeus. It's my time to kill. And it's my time to die.
>>144267483
>not using caltrops
>not having a war of attrition with the undead, where even killing and smashing 1 zombie is a success
>not eventually clearing the whole town, and processing it into raw material for the next trench war
Ghost town is best town.
>>144267516
with the bottom end of uncannily stealthy, you have about a 10% chance of waking antaeus every turn you're in his LOS, not considering all the high HD ice fiends around him in his room, and the dozens of monsters you have to get by to even get into his room.
I hope you do get the stab, but I fear your chances of getting it are pretty slim.
Maybe you'd have better luck in a version that has both control tele and dithmenos.
>>144263758
again, crawl damage is rng as fuck
it's 1d52 and you rolled a 4 or something
>>144264036
this is wrong, it's exponential
if 9 ! is 2000 then 10 ! is 4000
probably they were just using the joke lang that replaces all . with ! and all ! with !!!
DEMON WIN FAGGOTS
>>144264809
short blades get up to +30 slaying for stabbing purposes depending on dex and skills, so a +0 dagger can easily do 300+ damage.
Antaeus has between 400 and 900 hp, so if he's at the lower end it's totally possible to oneshot him with a dagger.
>>144268094
I just need Dith's "pshhhhhhhhhh nothing personnel... kid" ability to try it.
I didn't know that could happen.
>>144268457
Oh, congratulations!
Dat gandayah. What abilities did you give it?
>>144268673
He had lifegiver (reduces the cost of healing abilities by 5 SP), calm+cleanse+absolution (status removal), healing charm+mending (healing), tireless+vigorous (SP boosts)
Gandayah is my nigga
>these bright as hell gloves
>this flaming scim
>my lantern
I light around 6 squares ahead of me.
>>144269163
Ah, that sounds great, especially if it was with you since the beginning, or at least one of the first few floors. On my best run so far I only managed to clear most of Tower:6 and I died in my first encounter in Anomaly.
>artifact filthy rag on stronghold:2
I didn't know this was even possible.
>>144269979
Yeah, I also thought they were completely useless items until I found one of elemental protection that I used for a little while.
>>144269867
Yea, I started with a fairy and then quickly merged it with the gandayah, which gave lifegiver and regeneration.
Anomaly ain't nothing to fuck with. Literally run away and never come back if you run into ranged attackers there.
Also Demon early game is generally pretty hard until your party starts getting decked out with abilities and stuff. It also weeds out some of the weaker builds
>Harold growns "My family..." before dying.
I have not seen him do that before. Also, I decided to check his trident and it was -3. Heh.
>>144271083
Harold says some sad shit when he dies.
>>144269558
if you were a psion you could just be casting clairvoyance by now and lighting the whole dungeon level
psions are pretty cool
This was actually sort of hard and tedious. First, there was the king of the mad bears on this level so I had to quaff speed+hero+berserk to kick his ass. I kept getting confused and hallucinated by looking at Sathla so I had to cure crit and tele away. Finally, we met in this corridor and he (it?) didn't get that confuse+hallucinate shit off so I quaffed hero+speed (I had no more berserk left) and cut it up until I was low life so I phased away and quaffed the shit out of my cure crits and luckily I had some heavily enchanted arrows so I shaved of a star or two before finally killing it in melee. I'll probably attempt shelob after this. Also my white dragon got stolen by some invisible thief so may he rest in piece.
>>144272451
ubbo takes extra damage from fire so that's the easiest way to cheese it
>>144273437
I mean i'm pretty sure a regular ol' level 25 warrior is still hitting harder than whatever kind of mage using fire spells, and his melee is *definitely* more damaging than whatever devices he can find at that point.
I guess it's nice if you find a fire-branded weapon or you play a swordmaster/mystic/samurai with a fire-brand spell.
>>144273437
Yeah that thing was around 10 levels higher than me and I managed to kill it with my well scimitar. Reminds me of the scimitar of flaming death from DCSS.
speaking of mystics
i was reallly disappointed when i found out that most of their class powers are just "do a melee blow, but with an elemental brand!"
they can also summon spiders i guess
The Tengu and death sword quest is so cheesy.
Apparently Q isn't actually evil, so coming prepared with a staff of detect evil results in a miserable experience.
