I've been playing trunk lately with two ongoing characters, and never had too much trouble with Hydras even though I had no shortages of them in the Lair. Hydras made me feel rewarded for choosing to go with a High Elf Crusader with Bows and Short Blades instead of a Merfolk who went all out with Po...

If you're "clean" early in the game and have access to a few basic sources of random mutation like carrying a couple of Mutation Potions and/or just 4 chunks of mutated flesh from a Sky Beast or a Shapeshifter with a Gourmand Amulet or Carnivore, it is wise to try them if you have a Cure M...

There were only two Blademasters who were placed far away from each other in my level. I've later found out that this was the bare minimum BM spawning chance (two is guaranteed). Although the high-end Deep Elf spellcasters have "See Invisibility", the Blademasters and the Master Archers do...

You can use stealth with Silence on, but the penalty is very significant; equal to the bonus from boots of stealth. "Extremely stealthy" definitely isn't enough to rely on. Woah, I've looked it up: it's -50. I had like 35 Dexterity with Potion of Agility which was pretty good but its desc...

This is the first time I have conquered this branch of the Dungeon. I know I am still a noob at this game. Even being aware of that fact couldn't stop me fr...

Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the advice and I think I'll be stabbing and sticking with Short Blades from now on. Goddammit it's hard to dump the "Vorpal Tri-Sword of Doom" and I've had more than my share of a "Gollum syndrome" of not letting it go but right now I am leaning mor...

Hello Crawlers, I am pretty green at this game and not all that experienced with Roguelikes in general either but I got hooked up on DCSS and am having great fun. Learning pretty fast too, since I've been playin em' cRPG's since the early 90ies, if not Roguelikes in particular. DCSS is mos def the m...
