Miasma swamp ending?

Hi Guys,

I've cleared swamp:4 up until the point I have a very suspect situation that I'm not sure how to handle. Clouds of miasma with a vault which no doubt contains the rune (And some nasties)

I don't want to waste a blink scroll getting in there (especially as there are clearly 2 groups of clouds separated by clean air and i cant blink past both) and I also don't want to just run through the clouds so im low HP when I get inside to deal with the nasties.

Any advice on this situation? I've not seen this runevault before...

This is in fact a nasty swamp ending. I'd delay it and do spider first.

Re: Miasma swamp ending?

Shout all the monsters out and kill them one at a time. Then walk through, collect the rune, and drink curing afterwards.

If a bunch of nasty ones appear at once, read tele, heal up, and try again.

Tried that, no dice. Even threw a couple of random fireballs as far in the chamber as I could. Nothing came to investigate. In Spider now...

I just did this after finding a scarf of cloud immunity.

There were four slime creatures in there and a rune :)

Re: Miasma swamp ending?

Scroll of noise and lightning bolt have double the noise produced that shouting has, if you want to pull stuff.

Re: Miasma swamp ending?

quick question about noise... is it generated at the point you cast the spell, or the point that the spell lands? E.g are monsters attracted to a fireball landing site or casting site?

I was throwing them into the chamber as far as i could in an effort to draw them out...but I found myself wondering if it actually mattered.

Both. There is a casting noise and noise at the target. For fireball, casting noise is 5 and noise at the target is 15.

Re: Miasma swamp ending?

Fireball should be loud enough to pull out nearly everything in a medium sized vault like this one is, I'm kind of surprised there were even 4 slimes left in there. Generally speaking, if you've cleared most/all of a floor and are just afraid of one specific area, being loud next to it can be a good way to pull things out slowly. You do run some risk of alerting too many things, but you can usually pull the first things that come out as far back as you want, which should limit the swarm.

Re: Miasma swamp ending?

Maybe the bulk of what was in there got pulled out before I arrived at the gate? who knows. But I recognised it was a vault as soon as I saw it, and intentionally avoided it until the rest of the level was clear.

No amount of fireballs pulled out the four slimes i found in there.

Animal intelligence things sometimes have abyssmal pathfinding in my experience. They probably heard, but got stuck on a wall or something.
