YASD: Troll Monk of Jiyva (0.18 trunk)
For some reason I really wanted to play the ~classic (e.g. guides existed since 0.12) Slime Troll character. Here's my best attempt so far:
This was pretty fun overall — neutral Royal Jelly, "Gastronok changed into Gastronok the azure jelly", decompressing Vaults:1 by stepping onto an alarm trap, pulling some asshole with Recall and killing a lot of V:1 monsters spread out across the D level... But Jiyva was just a bit underwhelming and the character was kinda underpowered.
The RNG was a dick:
So you can be cast into level three of the Abyss now
The Abyss teleportation delay is what killed me in the end.
And apparently I missed the exits that were generated nearby (the log shows: bh_abyss_exit_choice, evilmike_abyss_exit_15)
I don't remember if I tried to slimify Louise, but if I didn't, that was a big tactical mistake.
Anyway, I'm looking for strategic advice for this kind of build:
P.S. asshole flowers in Swamp are a very interesting gameplay mechanic, but they're a bit too scary, I think they shouldn't be "extremely dangerous"

This was pretty fun overall — neutral Royal Jelly, "Gastronok changed into Gastronok the azure jelly", decompressing Vaults:1 by stepping onto an alarm trap, pulling some asshole with Recall and killing a lot of V:1 monsters spread out across the D level... But Jiyva was just a bit underwhelming and the character was kinda underpowered.
The RNG was a dick:
- electric asshole snakes at the end of Snake, no rElec
- very few resistances on items in general (except for {rF+, rC-} and {rF++, rC-}. lol totally screwed against cold)
- very few scrolls of enchant armour
- very few scrolls of recharging
- very few amulets
- of course, all the cool artifacts are weapons because I use unarmed combat (this part wasn't all that bad though, unskilled dagger of rPois was good against killer bees and ants)
So you can be cast into level three of the Abyss now
The Abyss teleportation delay is what killed me in the end.
And apparently I missed the exits that were generated nearby (the log shows: bh_abyss_exit_choice, evilmike_abyss_exit_15)
I don't remember if I tried to slimify Louise, but if I didn't, that was a big tactical mistake.
Anyway, I'm looking for strategic advice for this kind of build:
- I think I was wasting XP on Armour, should've trained Dodging only. Right? Or not? How do I even train defense on this character?
- More Evocations and Throwing? Or just one of those? Feels like the Troll aptitudes are too horrible to train ranged and melee at the same time, even. Also feels like Unarmed training doesn't do much?? Should I just go all in on large rocks & not much Unarmed?
- What about branch order? Do Not Enter The Depths? But the last levels of Snake and Swamp were too scary. And the Vaults were scary as well...
- Should the Jiyva-diver build even be a Troll?
P.S. asshole flowers in Swamp are a very interesting gameplay mechanic, but they're a bit too scary, I think they shouldn't be "extremely dangerous"
