Trapped on an island

[Kokor Hekkus]

So, whilst clearing out a Bailey, my potion of flight ran out whilst on an island surrounded by deep water (Doh). I'm a Formicid, so no teleporting or blinking, no more potions of flight, and you can't shaft yourself on a special level like a Bailey... Any ideas on how to get out of this, or do I just have to to starve to death?

Learn a translocation spell and deliberately miscast it until you get banished to the abyss

[Kokor Hekkus]

Nice. Might even be possible!

[Kokor Hekkus]

Hah! Learned the hardest Translocations spell I had, Passage of Golubria- instead of being banished, I successfully cast it and it allowed me to passage myself of the island!

[nago]

Anyway, I think situation like that shouldn't be possible in the game - there should awalys be an escape hatch or a portal in disconneted area like that - you may report this situation on Mantis

Does that work now? I thought that when you escape from the abyss you end up back where you were when you were banished.

I guess you could find another potion etc of flying while in the abyss though...

I'm pretty sure there's a Cocytus ending where Antaeus lives in a house in the middle of a deep water lake, which is inaccessible without flying or swimming.
Of course the chances of you not having access to all forms of crossing deep water while in hell are stupendously low, but it's still a really annoying end and hopefully there's shallow water there now.

There's also blink and rTele, if you swing that way.

I could be wrong but I think that there are several Coc 7 that requires flying.
Geh 7 too.
But it's practically impossible to don't find a form of flying whole game!

I didn't find a source of flying with one of my Berserkers and couldn't enter a huge vault in Zot because I ran out of potions of flight due to Shoals. That felt very disappointing.
Random teleport was possible but I didn't want to land into unknown territory (as I learned after the game the vault can have 2 OoF, a pack of Draconians etc.).

I think if you can't reach a vault or something, it's not a problem. You can find a way in (flight in this case) later, and return. But if you get in, there must be a way out.

It's also practically impossible for a character that has cleared all branches except zot and with 15 runes in their pockets to find their first pair of boots in zot.
But lo and behold, I've actually seen that happen.

The chances are tiny, but the requirements are irrelevant in all cases except the one where you don't meet them.
