Shadow creatures will give you breathing room in Vaults. I would still wear the shield even if it meant no staff of earth. It's another line of defense, for a character without much in the way of defense. I'd forget Sure Blade and train spellcasting to get slots for dispel undead if you feel you nee...

Mate, the hell are you doing with 4 scrolls of acquirement in your inventory, is this some kinda conduct you forgot to tell us? Dispel Undead is fantastic against undead. If you are perfectly capable in melee, hitting things with a short sword can also deal with undead very swiftly while saving you ...

Death channel is obscenely fun. It's been a while since I've played necromancers though.

Kiku trolls you sometimes, but it's still worth that pain brand in the end.

(Ah yeah)

But when it comes time to fight naga sharpshooters are just so broken

How? How?? I've died twice to naga sharpshooters, all in the span of about 30 seconds. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.16-a0-2654-gbdaf798 (console) character file.

The only thing that matters after you get the orb of zot is making it to the surface! Unless the pan lord was blocking the only way If you have potions of haste, wands of haste, use them! Who cares if you hit yellow contam, if you can go a little faster it'll all be worth it. If you're really parano...

qusetion is it only ONE evil god that punishes them for the whole game, or is the wrath randomly chosen from ALL the evil gods? i think perma wrath is an interesting concept. but the purpose of wrath was to deter players from gaming the hell out of gods. so wrath is pretty brutal to say the least. i...

And here I was thinking I had some impressive gear...

silent spectres on tomb floors are great, they do half my job for me

just don't waltz into a ziggurat as a melee-inept caster, because that's kinda their purpose (ie. getting melee inept casters killed)

there are many ways you can go about dealing with 57 hp monsters.

you could just scum zigs indefinitely for a whole heap of benemut potions, then quaff them all at once and you'd probably achieve the same effect. the point was that being allowed to scum your mutation list is bad, even though it is already achievable to some degree in game, with a couple of gods an...

Yes, it happens. Balanced AC/EV/attack is better than unbalanced. Some theoretical example could be AC 0/EV 0 and slaying 150, would you really like to have it vs ranged monsters or when you are surrounded?

claws are awesome, not a lot of weapons can stand up to claws. but sharnga is really good too. You could go okawaru or something if you plan on fighting more, and of course you can still go kiku or vehumet. even 0 skill sharnga is probably awesome, pick up all the arrows you find for now, either wor...

The lichform tile, obviously. Lvl 9 Necro/Tmut, Dead Cat Form Lvl 9 Translocations/Transmutation, Schrodinger's Question.

ah yeah no merfolk swimming

aside from airstrike, is there anything to worry about while flying?

i'm guessing a couple of kobolds with flaming scimitars would do away with you quite easily

Airstrike fo golden dragons? feels like a waste of spell slots to me, i'd just put on the slaying ring and hack away with the quick blade! if your previous spriggans didn't end up doing so well that might have been due to your very low dodging. Spriggans have notoriously low hitpoints, and their onl...

FOR THE GLORY OF TROG

and into wrote:what happens when you get the Orb?

You get to abandon him and enjoy a hefty dose of god wrath with your kleptic orb run.

One potion of rElec ought to do for crowds. On a 1 to 1 basis you probably wouldn't need rElec. With that HP, your character would be more than ready to take a few lightning bolts to the face, assuming the titan can overpower your will first. A wand of digging, wand of disintegration, or a stone of ...

make a few alts and spam Sar with thanks

try needles of sleep, paralysis? some monsters may be immune to confuse (i've never tried needlestabbin demons tho)

Yup, clarity prevents (unintentional) berserk! Stasis would do the job too, although it would prevent some other effects too. Scythe of Curses sounds like an interesting weapon but getting to level 26 for 0.7 delay on your attacks is a lot of skill investment (You only needed level 8 to get the quic...

Generally gold is useless. What you buy with gold is not useless. The more of your gold you turn into something useful the more likely you'll survive whatever the game throws at you. Whether scrolls of acquirement are useful or not is subjective but usually its a good idea to buy them if the opportu...

Actually...

I don't know why i had stasis on

An interesting character, and an interesting god. I went ham with mutations and ended up with a mixed but mostly good bag. Sacrificed Love, Health (slow healing near monster), Essence (low mp), a hand, and arcana. Arcana was probably the worst of them all; on the spur of the moment i dropped conjura...

AND THE SCREEN SHOOK!!

i love this game

that sounds like a painful combination.

im also surprised you survived wiht 20AC/16EV/0SH defences! Have you seen some other morgues around here? You tend to see AC/EV totals of like 50-60 by Zot. Demigods are especially apt for doing this with their fantastic stats. Aptitudes are nothing to be concerned about; vine stalkers got -2 to arm...

You don't have to win to get involved

Demigod wizard, that's a remarkable first ascension!

what kinda ghost is it
i'm playing a newer build and my octopode and draconian ghosts show up as W

Doesn't Alistair's still work? Even if it is only for a few turns, you will have enough MP for several casts and if you disable the vault warden long enough you can get to him and drop him. Just pure melee is not the best strat, even if you are mad strong and can drop dudes in two turns. Immolate to...

with these aptitudes, players can make interesting longterm decisions

go for all of them lightning spire and ice beasts will clear lair and orc easily monstrous menagerie seems to have been quite popular, but i dont do summoners. sphinxes and harpies are op and fun. shadow creatures will give you creatures based on the current location. so dont expect anything impress...

GL WITH FUTURE DUDES

snake is aggravating. naga warriors are tanky and those sharpshooters with PP will make your life hard. im guessing you got stuck in an open space with a lot of those around, or lethally poisoned in two turns from a ton of naga ritualists. gotta take it sloooow

wow, so lucky~ first of all, identify that ring, and ring mail, they could be awesome. ring mails offer decent AC and arent going to impact your stealth too heavily. hexes are not worthless, but death yaks are really tough to affect (anything "very resistant" is not worth the effort, at le...

you're carrying like 30 weapons. definitely drop the morningstar and whip of draining. if you want to kill thing you probably won't be doing it with an antimagic war axe either. you have a shield on, you wouldn't be able to hold the exe axe (unless you wanted to swap). demon whip is all you need i w...

What was the point of the cap in the first place? Also, are you talking straight up no power cap (no hard cap), no arbitrary cap (hard cap 200), or increasing the maximum spellpower? This would be a little logical if it only increased maximum spellpower by a few pips. But entirely removing the cap i...

Even re-assessing levels and dropping "trivial" monsters would be problematic late game, I think. That is, if you were comparing by EXP, like how the game assesses monster danger. Titans are still "dangerous" at XL27, but they are trivial for late game characters. Would it be all...

The folder might be hidden. Or the phone might be lying. File storage on phones is baffling.

There were a *couple* close calls in the ziggs involving hellions, but thank Dith for fog and shadow form. Also, tons of unrandarts! It was really fun seeing them all.

27 stealth, evocations, and spellcasting! Wow. All that stealth seems almost unnecesary, but I guess it would give you some great stabbing damage with that claymore.
