Congrats!

I must have recharged that wand of healing 10-15 times.

EDIT: I just realized that a Deep Dwarf has the "recharge wand" ability. :oops:

I learned today that big rations take three turns to eat, regardless of your race or character speed.

Sounds like a hint to some worthy addition to the game.

Now that I think about it, teleportation traps in a Lab is just cruel.

Seriously, you have to give yourself a nice facepalm if your Tornado fails to make you survive Vault:8.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. From my experiences, "Spider's Nest" is a temporary portal (like Bailey). But when I tried it in Wizmode, I found this multiple-level "Spider's Nest". What is that?

It's safe to go into a Spider Nest, even if you aren't sure you can take down a Ghost Moth. Just look at the type of the Nest; if it's a big empty space the moment you're in (no scorpions), you better run because the invisible bastard is around.

Scroll of Fire Storm : Does exactly what the spell does. 1000-5000 gold each. Holy Book of Okawaru/Sif Muna/Zin/etc : Allows you to maximize the effect of any abilities given by your god. Degrades by use, like Manuals. Durian : The king of all fruits. Monsters will not disturb you when you're eatin...

That's the reason to why I never attempt to tackle the Elven Halls without Repel/Deflect Missiles.

Not just the Master Archers (on Elf:5), but the Knights hurt too when they use bows.

It doesn't seem to go up stairs at least.

No, it can go up or down a stair with you. It only happens rarely, as far as I know, because it has to be adjacent to you (which doesn't happen too often) when you're going up or down.

I killed Mennas twice with Mummy Monks, but I was helped by summoned Hydras.

It's not really worth it to kill Mennas if you're playing a melee undead or Demonspawn. He doesn't give that much exp.

As far as I know, Sif Muna gives every kind of spell book. So you'll eventually get Necromutation from her.

How high should you train your Unarmed Combat? As high as you can. More skill level = more damage

.

Your background isn't supposed to carry you to Zot.

The not-so-obvious wisdom not all players realize.

The list of things Muke Gile did NOT kill:
1. Cerebov
2. Gloorx Vloq
3. Mnoleg (the bastard teleported away before I could finish him off)
4. Asmodeus
5. Dispater

Stay tuned for the sequel: Mummy Berserker. <-- maybe

Who am I not to fiddle with a non-berserking Berserker?

i've been using a buckler and have skill 5 - also I mutated into hooves 3 so the boots fell off. should i stop using the buckler because of UC?

No. Buckler doesn't make your UC that much worse.

2nd floor, there were 6 named enemies. Including this one 'Prince Ribbit' that hit for over half my health in one shot and can blink.

WOW

That's it, folks! 15 runes! :twisted:

Now I just need to find an exit to the dungeon....

(Did I fight Cerebov? What kind of question is that? I'm not that crazy :oops:

)

Yes, use that ring mail.

I think you can raise your DEX once or twice. You usually can find some nice randarts which raise your DEX, so don't think too much about raising your DEX.

Wow, 12 runes so far, with the addition of Gehenna's! 8-)

Yeah, eat that, Asmodeus! That's called Apportation! :lol:

Yeah, I wouldn't want to tackle Elf:5 before memorizing Repel or Deflect Missile.

Thanks.

I just realized, Muke Gile hasn't used a controlled teleportation yet. Hmm, I guess it's time to memorize the Control Teleport spell :lol:

. (What the hell was I thinking? But seeing that Muke Gile could make it this far, I guess controlled teleportation isn't that important :lol:

.)

Sif powers might seem underwhelming "on average". But when playing a roguelike, if you "take your chance" often, sometimes you'll fail. And when you do, you die. So getting rid of the worst cases, even if they are rare, is powerful.

So true.

11 runes so far: swamp, snake, slime, abyss, tomb, vault, cocytus, tartarus, pandemonium (demonic rune), Lom Lobon (magical rune), dis. Muke Gile almost died in Iron City of Dis.

Multi-zapping Shock is good. Have you used it?

Speed brand got nerfed lately. You guys know that, don't you?

Katana of anything is the best weapon in the game, because whenever I get one I'm continually impressed by how cool it looks; this causes me to play better, because I don't want to lose it.

This is some real wisdom.

Go for Tornado. :twisted:

Polyphemus throws a large rock.
Your +3 buckler of reflection reflects the large rock!
The large rock hits Polyphemus.
You kill Polyphemus!

This is pure LOL. :lol:

Congrats.

Yea, Harpies are cruel. But at least their exp is good. :lol:

The Lajatang of Speed actually is quite effective against numerous weak enemies. So I guess, the strategy I should use is: use the Lajatang of Pain, but switch to the Lajatang of Speed when a band of weak enemies appears.

But still, 3000+ gold wasn't worth it.... Damn....

Okay, I have to let this out. G O D F K I N G D A M M I T I totally didn't know that the devs changed the Speed brand. It deals less damage now.

Oh? You can torment Mennas? Now that's NICE. :twisted:

Yeah, thanks. Hmm, that sounds good; Maces and Flails training is sped up, anyway.

choosing between Staves (it's already 12 level, and I've got an awesome Lajatang and that unrandart Elemental Staff that gives rF++, rC++, MR, and some AC) and Maces and Flails (so I can use that uber-awesome Sceptre of Torment).

Congrats.

Even if it's a winning combination, "winning" in Crawl still doesn't mean the same thing as in most other games.

Go Slings if you have enough bullets, or Throwing... well, it doesn't really matter, since both skills speed the training of each other. "Ranged Necro Attacks" = Bolt of Draining and Haunt. But neither of those is dependable all the time. Haunt makes you sick (and you are unlikely to use i...
