I'm going to clear the hall of blades eventually so how do I go about fighting him? This is my current progress:

Re: Mennas?

Worth it? I love engaging hard uniques. :lol:

Would silence stop me from using my decks? I'm not sure if you read off them or not.

Re: Mennas?

Mennas is one of those uniques you never ever want to fight. He's killed me more than any other unique simply because he's so fast, there's no way to get escape him if you have no escape items to burn through. He's faster than a felid, don't know about a spriggan but don't be surprised when he sprints up to you and bashes your face.

Re: Mennas?

Meeting Mennas in Hall of Blades is the game's way of telling you "Lucky you, you don't have to fight him this game!"

I've yet to die to him, but there have been some extremely close calls. Finding him sleeping and calling in powerful summons (or seven storm dragon simulacra, as in one memorable meeting :D ) is the best way of taking him out if he's somewhere you're going to run past often.

Re: Mennas?

I actually haven't found him to be that deadly. Just have an obscene amount of HP, AC (~55) and Shield (~50), and then you can use him as a portable Silence generator to wipe out Mummies with! I cleared the entire bottom of the Tomb with him following me around, and then I just whacked him once I was done with him. It only took me about 10 turns to kill him.

Re: Mennas?

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering if my randart +20 large shield "Dime-a-Dozen" {+30 AC +100HP} was actually going to be useful. If I "just" need that to deal with Mennas I guess it's worth the inventory slot :)

Re: Mennas?

If you have an AC of 55 and a SH of 50, you shouldn't have any trouble with the mummies in Tomb with or without Mennas. Or the demons in Pan. Or the Hells.

Just go win.

Re: Mennas?

How the hell do you get 50+ ac and shield? :shock:

Re: Mennas?

Not too hard to hit 55AC if you grind for enchant armor scrolls in the Abyss or Pan until you have fully-boosted crystal plate mail or golden dragon armor. It was even easier in older versions, where you could get a robe to +8 which stacked with Ozocubu's Armor, and could get randarts with +AC as well. You can also try being a naga for the innate AC and barding, or a lucky demonspawn that gets +20AC from racial mutations.

50SH sounds like heavy shield with 27 shields skill, at the very least. I've never got it that high. It's much easier to get it that high with TSO, though, since one of her invocations boosts SH by an enormous amount. Of course, if the high SH was accomplished by means of TSO, Mennas is remarkably less threatening.

Any way you do it, no character that has defensive stats that high should have any trouble with any post-endgame content.

Re: Mennas?

Dump.

So Mennas is on a sort of crowded Vault:2. I would normally just leave his terrifying ass alone, but at least twice now just stair dancing from V:3 and going back to my stash in Lair, I've had some close calls. Do I have what it takes to do some damage, or am I just asking to get silently hacked to pieces? I'd rather fight him on my terms than be ribbonified at the top of a set of stairs.

Random other question: I've killed fully 5 ice dragons and haven't found a single corpse, much less mutilated it into some dragon armor for the trove I found. Am I going to run into a lot more anytime soon? You know, where I can kill them?

Re: Mennas?

Yeah, I cleared everything but the Hells before I went and did the Tomb. I cleared every other branch, and had a ridiculous amount of loot. I had just lost so many characters in the Tomb that I didn't want to lose this one. Yes, I did have 27 shields, fighting and armor before I went in there, and I had the Maxwell's Patent Armor, and tons of other stuff that boosted AC. I also had the Shield of the Gong, and the Obsidian Axe. I just wanted to show that Mennas can indeed be easy, if you wait long enough before confronting him. I recently had a Mummy ice mage that fought Mennas, but that fight was a lot closer. All I can say is Ice storm is great. And Silence sucks.

EDIT: Having read ieattime20's post, I would say to hold off on fighting him. I'd wait until you have Ice Storm at Excellent, and then just Haste yourself and then blast him in the face 5-6 times. Another thing that is enormously helpful when fighting Mennas is a wand of tele, since that way you can escape without reading the scroll. Since you have that, I'd use it when he starts to get close to you. Since the tele happens in about 3 turns, you can escape if you know how fast he is. If all else fails, just Bolt of Cold him in the face and pray that it works. However, I'd clear the non-swamp branch of the Lair first, since you don't appear to have that rune. Maybe after you have some more XP, and hopefully Ice Storm, you can come back and freeze him solid.

Re: Mennas?

I just got Mennas wandering down in Vaults right now. I'm a Demonspawn.
My luck is that I managed to run before he could see me.
Is it even remotely possible for a Demonspawn to attack Mennas in melee and live to tell the history?

Re: Mennas?

No, it's not like I pretend to attack him or anything like that, i'm still just XL 19.
I'm just wondering if there is here someone who managed to melee Mennas with a demonspawn (and didn't die).

Re: Mennas?

Heh, I ran into Mennas wandering the lower dungeon while playing my current NaVM and somehow caught him sleeping. So I sneak up to him and one-shot him with a stab to the back. For a silent kill, it was kinda amusing to see the surrounding tiles explode with blood. Was pretty lucky to catch him by himself.

Re: Mennas?

I killed Mennas twice with Mummy Monks, but I was helped by summoned Hydras. :)

It's not really worth it to kill Mennas if you're playing a melee undead or Demonspawn. He doesn't give that much exp. :)

Re: Mennas?

Gabriellk, it's certainly possible to melee him with a demonspawn, I've done it but it required beserking and BiA and was damn dangerous (I think my char was about the same level as yours, but it was a fair while ago, and I think I tried at least once and almost died before that). I'd avoid him if you can, or get ready to use absolutely everything you have if you try to take him on.

Re: Mennas?

Heavy shield with 27 shield skill is 62 SH, which is what i have on my HOFi right now.

Oh wait i forgot, STR and Dex come into it too. I'm like 30 STR and 16 dex.

Re: Mennas?

I don't actually know if the Shield of the Gong is a heavy shield. Whatever, it sufficed to block nearly everything, and then wake up everything on the level.
