CIP: DECj with Serpentine Rune

[solskinfrere]

Originally received very helpful advice from Amnesiac and Nago in Dungeon Crawling Advice.

I just got the Serpentine Rune, killing Lamia and Boris (? I thought he resurrected but it said I destroyed him with a BoF and I got a magic resistance robe) on the way.

Have cleared Dungeon 21, Shoals 1-4 (except for a kraken ), Vaults 1-4. No secondary branches visited besides Snake and Shoals. Any suggestions about where to go/preparation/...? I think I need better boots/cloak/gloves. Cloak gives +3 str and I don't want to carry less jewelry, though.

Thanks!

Boris resurrects somewhere else but you still get the destroyed message, the exp and the robe he was wearing. You'll get all of that again if you meet him again. Anyway, I would do something like Crypt, D to 26, Shoals:5, D:27, Vaults:5, Zot.
You can drop most of these potions if you need to free up inventory weight, along with a lot of scrolls (especially those which aren't tactically relevant, like recharging, which only take up weight and more importantly might get destroyed). Plus, the flesh weighs a lot and you don't need to actually carry chunks. That being said, that cloak isn't terrible so unless you have a good alternative (e.g. magic resistance or preservation) I wouldn't worry about it. Your gloves and boots aren't great of course, but that's a minor problem and you can't do anything to fix it besides hoping for good item drops.

[solskinfrere]

I got a +0 preservation cloak off of Maurice. It's becoming more and more attractive each time "your potion of heal wounds freezes and shatters".

I take the point re: the excess scrolls & potions. It's funny "OMG I might need this" cohabitates with "I can't use this now I might need it later." They're both about future need I guess.

I did Shoals:5 after posting. It was ridiculously easy (I think I got ridiculously lucky). The rune was in the 2nd or 3rd room I opened. No uniques, just merfolk et al which I was able to trap in and mostly blow up with some fulminant prisms.

Thanks!

+0 preservation cloak

you can enchant it and wear for the rest of the game Especially in zot, there are yellow draconians with corrosion there. Oh, and if you go into zot realm don't forget to have rF++ at least, better rF+++ or orbs of fire will beat the crap out of you in a couple of turns.

[solskinfrere]

Need Enchant Armour scrolls!!!

[Amnesiac]

If you don't enchant it, you still should use it, especially if you don't utilize that quickblade, which could use +Dam from the other cloak.

[solskinfrere]

Going well. Got Silver Rune, which makes 3, and cleared most of the Dungeon (not some scary parts on 23 & 24). I feel like the dungeon is being very generous with the goodies. I just got some sparkly rings in Vault:4. So I guess Zot, here I come!

Should I think about upgrading Reflect to Deflect Missiles? And/or more offense, e.g., LCS or an AOE attack (Fireball, Firestorm?)? Had fun with Poison Cloud and Fulminant Prism when entering Vault:5. I have one high-level book still.

[Amnesiac]

How did you manage to write DeCJ instead of DECj?

[solskinfrere]

Fixed!

STypo- malus? Contracted from the Wiki?

[Amnesiac]

And E should be upper case, because it the first letter from Elf, you write second letter as lower case if it's from the same word. Everybody is serious about this stuff here

[solskinfrere]

Help! I am through Zot:4. What do I need to have in place to get back out after I (hopefully) get the Orb? Are there any guides? The search function in the Tavern spews way too many results.

[duvessa]

After you get the orb press G, then D, then 1. This will take you to dungeon level 1. Then you can press X, then <, then enter, and that will take you to the stairs up. Then press < to win.

Unfortunately having the Orb causes some random crap to generate around you, so these commands will often be interrupted. After you have gotten the crap out of LOS, you can resume travel by pressing G and then enter.
