Know the feeling all too well. At least you can take comfort in the fact that you couldn't have avoided it. I usually do not have that luxury. :|

Well technically I could have taken one of other stairs downwards, but I guess it's just down to the RNG screwing with me.

Re: YASD - Hydras are jerks 2

Sometimes I find it helps to be paranoid when entering new levels- with lev, swiftness and repel missiles all on- just in case. Don't know if the speed would have saved you here- but you do not wanna take stairs next to a hydra. You might have been better to run in level. ...not that running from a hydra without boosts works. ...or that running through an unexplored level is safe. It's just slightly less dead.

Sometimes there's nothing you can do.

Re: YASD - Hydras are jerks 2

Well, new and more mature John (Also more Human now too) has gotten his hands on a Book of the Clouds, so I guess now the race against the RNG is on once again in hopes of being able to do The Windy Thing! Wish me luck!
