Fortnightly Conduct Run #2 - Octopode^Uskayaw

Last Challenge(Troll caster) didn't have too many participants, but that was most likely due to it being too hard/boring. I myself had a stab at it but died in lair branches. So the next fortnightly conduct will be something slightly easier and, hopefully, more fun.

TARGET: Octopode of Uskayaw
CONDITIONS:
- Only worship Uskayaw throughout the game
- Worship Uskayaw as soon as you see the altar

Octopodes prefer 1v1 situations, at all times, and tend to lure enemies a lot. Which should prove to be an interesting as Uskayaw is a god that prefers crowd fighting and doesn't have much use in 1v1 situations.(At least until you have a high enough invocations)

RECOMMENDED BUILDS:
OpFi = Shield helps out with an Octopode's poor defense in the early game, especially if you intend to use melee.
OpIE = IE is a very strong background with Conjurations and summons(So you don't have to be in melee range much) and Ozo armour gives some much needed AC.

POINTS:
+10 points for completing Lair and Orc and also completing Dungeon to 15.
+20 points for getting a rune,
+30 points for 3-runes
+50 points for 15-runes(12 runes acceptable if lair/orc skipped)
+70 points for doing a Ziggurat to 27

POINT MULTIPLIERS:
x3 if Lair and Orc skipped
x2 if game is won WITHOUT A SHIELD

BONUS CONDUCTS:
+100 points for using NO SPELLS
16/26 on the way to GreaterOctopode (Win all backgrounds as an Octopode)

Progress so far : OpFi, OpGl, OpWn, OpAr, OpCK, OpMo, OpBe, OpHu, OpVM, OpAM, OpWr, OpFE, OpEE, OpNe, OpTm, OpSk

Re: Fortnightly Conduct Run #2 - Octopode^Uskayaw

I splattered more octopi this challenge than Redwings fans during the 1997 Stanley Cup playoffs.

I'm just getting back into DCSS after a hiatus of several years. I used to participate in the weekly challenges on reddit, so it was fun to see this challenge posted. That said, I did predictably terrible.

My top octopede was Tolo the Unseen, a level 12 Octopede Assassin who was manged by an unseen horror on level 11 of the dungeon. Tolo cleared the Orcish Mines and found the Lair but did not clear it. I am not looking forward to finding Tolo's ghost someday.

According to the scoring rubric, I did not achieve any points (unless the +100 for no spells counts for dismal failures, in which case I get 100). :lol:

Thanks for the challenge! I look forward to future challenges.

Re: Fortnightly Conduct Run #2 - Octopode^Uskayaw

I didn't have much luck, but certainly had lots of fun! I had a few runs that got going as an OpFi, usually with axes, but few where i was even able to find an altar, let alone lair or orc! Most of my time as an Ice mage were short lived and i had some truly terrible luck! Including a run where i fell right on top of Natasha. -_-

Nevertheless, i had a great time, please continue to post more challenges!

Re: Fortnightly Conduct Run #2 - Octopode^Uskayaw

Same for me - I tried a few octopodes, but none of them had very long legs, even when I dropped more and more of the bonus-points conditions. Nothing worth posting here.

Re: Fortnightly Conduct Run #2 - Octopode^Uskayaw

I assume the "block: other" in lavandula's morgue is when deflect missiles deflected something? Haven't see that before (although I haven't been reading too many morgues lately).

You could see a naga ritualist, a mana viper and a black mamba.


Assuming I'm scoring it right it's just 10 points for clearing lair/orc/dungeon. Died in Snake, after teleporting away from Frances + Naga sharpshooter at very low health and not being able to clear out a few black mambas to regenerate. Hydra form is a very poor replacement for statue form, sadly. I didn't yet have high enough spellpower to get a lot of heads, so maybe I shouldn't have even used four-headed hydra form at all.

Had a bunch of not fun/seemingly unfair things, like finding ettins two tiles away from immediately upon taking the stairs into orc, having to do all sorts of emergency escapes to get down to orc:2, and then just finding another ettin (and a warlord) down there. Did manage to survive all that only to die to black mamba and crew later on...Ah well.

Anyone have any tips for playing with Usk better? To me it seems like stomp is largely useless since it isn't high enough damage to really kill things on its own, line pass is good but even so I didn't use it terribly often. Usk was largely just a god who paralyzed things for free and would also sometimes add splash damage (through the pain share thing). Grand Finale is great but it's pretty rare to get up to it since you can't even use it right away at 5*, but have to get additional piety past that to bring it's failure rate down. I used it once all game, mostly just to see it. I'm definitely under utilizing the active abilities; the passives are helpful though.

Re: Fortnightly Conduct Run #2 - Octopode^Uskayaw

Has anyone tried a stabber yet? I've always wondered how well stabbers do with the Usk paralysis, but I've never done one. I'd think with the stealth apt, it might be workable, but I'm probably not the one to do it.

I know this is a bit late, but here it is, done all except for the "no magic" conduct.
