v1.7.3: Out-of-depth monster spawns are changed: centaurs and water moccasins can't appear until D:3, and killer bees can't appear until D:4.v1.6: To compensate for fewer floors, shops are more likely.v1.5.3: Orc doesn't spawn Stone Giants except from vaults.Lair Branches (Swamp, Spider, Snake, Shoals) are shortened to 3 floors.Vaults does not require any runes to enter.Definitely got PTSD from torment throughout the entire extended endgame as a -20% HP tengu lol. For whatever reason I decided it was a good idea to stand in the middle of Tomb:2 and spam cleansing flame for a few turns instead of teleporting right away probably as I didn't see royal mummies initially and my brain decidedly went otab mode.? Ah well, at least I gained player experience from clearing everything else. If I do attempt extended, should I switch to TSO?Įdit: Got 14 runes, but YASDed in Tomb 2 from torment. Most of the game also felt easier than usual due to large stacks of EV and SH. I have collected 5 runes and cleared Zot 4. Hello there! I know similar questions are asked often on this subreddit, but should I go for extended endgame with this character? That being said, I never tried extended before, and have only won four games (and lost one character during the orbrun). Shields are a lot more accessible than you might think. Using big loud blasts to kill works great for being able to control terrain if you're confident in your ability to wipe out absolutely any area-appropriate-encounter. Vehumet is great if you can use your big blasts to kill. Firestorm, however, gives you little Fire Vortexes that work like a pyrotechnician's version of a Scroll of Butterflies. Polar Vortex messes with the positional game. Shatter might hit everything on the screen, but it also breaks open walls and can open you up to new enemies. It's one of the reasons I stuck with Firestorm. Prism blocks LoS and that's a tactic I use all the time. Great spells, a means of getting MP back, and ways of dealing with Will-targeting. Robe of Folly is great to help get you over the top, but you need the tools to take advantage of it. So I hopped into a Zig as a guaranteed escape tool.Īnd then I cleaned out my brain and remembered I could still blast the Specter down with evocables. It was a silent specter in an ambush stair vault. The worst thing I ran into wasn't a will challenge. We can at least try 15, there aren't that many Will challenges there."

Y'know what happens when you bring enormous blasts of flame to an ancient tomb full of mummies? They kick you out of archaeology club, for one, but as a lich you're at least as dead as they are so it's a cultural conflict instead of tomb-robbing. I hit up Slime and Crypt and V4, and by this point I had enough Int and had acquired Lichform, so I thought I'd go for the hilarious flex of clearing Tomb before Vaults. Huge area blasts are even better for high-power Vehumet casters.
A juggernaut said the rune was his.īy this point I'd picked up Firestorm. I found the runelight after about 300 turns of careful exploration.
Stealth is always the answer in the Abyss, so I went back to using the Staff of Battle with Magic Dart to quietly clear things out. So, of course, less than 1000 turns after entering Vaults, a Wizard decided to send me to the Abyss. I've won an Orb of Guile Vamp Enchanter, so I'm familiar with treating Will-targeting enemies as super-dangerous run-enders, but unlike a Vamp Enchanter where you either mess with minds or make temporary buddies or Enfeeble them to shut them down before slitting their throats.Robe of Folly blaster caster of Vehumet throws around big blasts as panic fire and Vehumet's MP rebate tended to come out to the discounted prices of blasting spells.
Robe of Folly is amazing for a blaster caster with Vehumet. I like hitting Elf after Shoals and Spider, because they tend to be fragile enough to get rid of quickly and the loot is pretty good for a wizardy type. OOD and FCloud by Orc gave me a decent toolkit of things and the Staff of Battle gave me a stealthy clear tool to go with everything else. Prism getting online, IMB getting online, or acquiring the Staff of Battle on Lair 1 are all big inflection points in win probability. When did things turn the corner? Hard to say.
Chasing the bailey was a bad idea, running it fast was a bad idea, but Prism got me through it. The game has changed so much since then.ĭ3 Vehumet, D7 Bailey + Ossuary.
