now to try .9 with the nerfed Tornado (and no katanas 
)And, to respect TSO for bailing me out in Zig #1, i let Mennas live.
notes for noobs (light spoils):
Food is really a non-factor. Eat sparingly early, eat well after Hive so that your spells don't put you in a bad spot (until you have the right staff, of course).
Avoid the ziggurats, unless you're trying for bragging rights. If you want to do one, see above for my difficulties.
Certain areas of the game seem like high risk for little reward at the point you usually encounter them, at least for this character type. Spider's Nest and Lair 8 almost never give me anything good, and spider's nest can be absolutely punishing if you get the one that opens with 25 centipedes immediately on a diagonal. That one is junk pay-off and an insane fight for the time that you usually see it; just leave. Ice Cave is a toss-up--worth doing if you have the resistance, otherwise probably skip. Bailey is usually a worthwhile risk. Sewers is always a go. Volcano I've only had once, it was fun but i had swiftness, flight and apportation, so...
don't convert to TSO until you're pretty sure you've got all the mutation potions you want. you can't use fulsome distillation without penance, and paying off the penance basically means scumming the Abyss. of course, if you like scumming the Abyss, go right ahead.
Zigs have an insane amount of CMut potions. on 39 levels, i saw around 30 potions (i, and this is funny after my first few L27s' fates, stopped picking them up after the first zig). do part of one zig and you don't have to worry much about any mutations if you're being blocked from completing by Tele or Berzerk. of course, if you're in a zig, you're probably past that point.
Pan Lords, by the time you see them, aren't as tough as they might seem from the wiki. the bigger concern is usually their escort or summonings. don't let them bring fiends into play, and lure any stragglers out from their nest before engaging (it's usually a 20x20ish box somewhere on the level)
Tornado cleans house in .8.
