OpTm game in progress

[delarado]

So here is my latest OpTm. I have been trying to get one of these off the ground forever now, but kept picking chei and dying a horrible death when i couldn't run away from anything.

I'm just clearing the first level of the lair and I've spotted a hydra. Only five heads so its not too horrific, but I'm still not sure how to proceed.

Will I be able to take it in ice form with a few friendly snakes? I plan to retreat if I can, eat, identify those scrolls and then go at it.

P.s I only pick up weapons so nobody can punch me in the face with them after I leave them on the ground.

[PowerOfKaishin]

I'm not entirely sure if enemies can pick up weapons off the ground after you've already seen them.

Snakes are useless against Hydras, since they practically have cleave and are resistant to poison and immune to constriction (at least from the snake). I forgot about this fact when I was typing the post in that other topic. So basically it's just you 1v1ing a Hydra. Not fun. Do not recommend. If you must kill it nail it with Ice Blast first, then transform, then fight it. Oh, and identify Ice Blast if you can. That shit's nice regardless of what class or race you are (except Felid).

Edit: Don't tell anyone that I told you this, but rolling up mutation with a cure mutation in your inventory is a good idea at this point in the game. Only once though, since you only have one cure mutation potion.

[ZoFy]

Oh, and identify Ice Blast if you can. That shit's nice regardless of what class or race you are (except Felid).

Hey, felids can zap wands too! On most characters of mine i'd train evocations to at least 5 just to deal with hydrae. As a side effect, this makes MR-wands (the OpTm in question has a paralysis one too) more usable against beasts with low MR (spiny frogs, blink frogs, black mambas and others).
As i said in the other OpTm thread, you shouldn't try meleeing hydrae at least until you're at Lair:8. Yes, you can probably take them out with Ice Form and a couple buffs but due to the nature of those monsters there's always a possbility to get screwed by RNG and accidentally die. The hydra you met is just wandering so there's a good chance to avoid it entirely.

[crate]

Monsters should not be able to pick up any item you have seen at all (there was a sort-of-bug about this in the past but it has since been fixed). You do not need to carry around weapons to prevent monsters from using them.

[delarado]

Ah ok, Im sure I read somewhere that they would pick things up. Actually I think its in a guide somewhere that recommends stashing in Lair because the monsters there don't pick up the weapons you've dropped.

I still don't quite understand how monsters wander; This Hydra for example. How far will it go from where I saw it, and whats the best way to avoid it? Ideally I'd like to just Shift+x then e, followed by some more pressing o - but I realize that may not be the recipe for success. If I am going to do better, I need to understand how to avoid it. Not doing noisy stuff near it is a given, but how far will it roam, for example? I haven't really got a decent method of escape at the moment so ideally want to avoid it pursuing me at all. How far do i need to keep away?

Shall I skirt around it at a wide area and finish the rest of the level? or just dive down and come back for it? I hate avoiding things just incase I get splatted trying to stair dance!

[Sprucery]

Actually I think its in a guide somewhere that recommends stashing in Lair because the monsters there don't pick up the weapons you've dropped.

The guide is probably dated. In earlier versions, monsters used to be able to pick up stuff you've seen.

When monsters start to wander, they can wander all over the level.

[delarado]

So theres a five headed hydra on Lair:1 and a 6 headed and an 8 headed hydra next to the stairs on lair:3.

Guess I'll do some more D and the first bit of orcish mines...

[mopl]

When you'll be back in lair, you can totally kill a hydra using Ice Form + Heroism/Finesse...

[delarado]

Thanks! yeah have killed a few of them now.

In a spot of bother now with this ugly thing though. They are weird, I tend to not take any damage at all from them really or they take 1/2 my HP in one go.

What should I do here? I don't have any strong curing, and I'm not sure how much magic resistance this thing has. Would fear work? or blinking? I'd rather kill it if I can than use the blinking scroll I have.... Suggestions welcome!

[Eyesburn]

blink, quaff haste, run (to the stairs)
you don't have rC and that thing can hit pretty hard

[delarado]

yeah...I've killed four of them now so I'm confident I can take them, just need to be at full HP and take them one at a time I think.

Thinking about it I should have used heroism and finesse to take them. A bit late now though.

I can use ice form to take them, but since its resistant to ice, is it really worth it?

[Eyesburn]

yeah you can try that, but

they take 1/2 my HP in one go.

you have 21/101 HP, think thats a reason to use some consumables

[crate]

White ugly things do much more damage than any other colour, so I strongly suggest fighting them in ice form unless you're against red ones.

[delarado]

well he died...

Got into a bad spot between two elven archers in a corridor. Managed to kill one, retreated toward the stairs and straight into a sorcerer. Then mis-keyed and moved in the wrong direction which put me into a terrible spot...

[Sprucery]

I think you went to Elf too early. Elf is optional content and best entered at least after both Lair runes and Vaults 1 - 4. Personally I do even Depths before Elf (Elf 3 can be murder and I don't find any point in doing just the first two levels and saving the last for later).

[delarado]

would a scroll of fear work? I find myself not using them because I'm worried they wont work and ill just waste a turn. Is there a reliable way to know if itll work?

[Sprucery]

Deep elf archers have MR 80 so a scroll of fear might have failed. There is no reliable way of knowing, it is a chance (well it will always work on MR 0 monsters and never against magic immune monsters). Scrolls of fear are very good against low MR enemies (zero or 1 pip of MR, which you can see by examing the monster).

The scroll of fog might have bought you some time.

[PowerOfKaishin]

Hopefully you'll take something away from this. Don't do Elf so early lol.

[Airwolf]

Yes, don't do Elf early.

Use Heroism early and often! (For more EV in this case.)

[nago]

Keep also in mind that enemies who flee because of fear may still use their ranged attack, so ?fear alone probably wouldn't have saved the day anyway.

[delarado]

I'm scared! How many are there? one or two? All I did was descend the stairs. It LOOKS like there are two but I only see one?

Also, does this mean Azrael is near? That sucks if so!

[andreas]

Probably not Azrael. It is probably the vault entrance to lair minmay_lair_entry_lava. Two hell hounds guarding the stairs. Yes, depending on the character two hell hounds stuck at range can be scary, they will pelt you with fire breath. An idea: hell hounds have poor MR and so are readily hexable.

[Sprucery]

Azrael can't be generated on D:9.

[andreas]

The wiki has Azrael's D location as 13--15. Are uniques not subject to out of depth variation?

(No doubt this is not him; I only ask because it seems like you might know the answer to the more general question.)

[crate]

Uniques place as vaults and vaults can only generate at the specific places they say they can.

[delarado]

So I'm on character number 9000 now and just got another one to the lair.

After paying 800 and something gold for a jewellery store that has almost nothing but negatively enchanted cursed rings I'm on the lair and I've auto explored into a problem.

I hit O, then straight away 1/2 my HP is gone and I have the "frozen" status effect. What can I do about this? Theres an Iguana, a Yak and a Rime drake in LOS. The Yak and the Iguana are sleeping but I don't want to try and run away because as I understand it I'll be very slow.

Am I doomed?

I could read teleport but I don't think that's a good idea with a mobility reducing status effect and 1/2 HP. Ice form would give me cold resist but I'd still have 1/2 HP and 3 fairly meaty enemies on my tail. Or drop down and left to break LOS and then hopefully slow them up with sticks to snakes? I Feel like fear or fog may be a better option? Is there a way to clear the frozen effect off of me quickly?
