Killed on Shoals 5 by a javeliner with silver javelins ater taking around 75 damage from one javelin because I forgot to refresh deflect missiles after clearing all the shoals. If you find refrigeration in the early game it's worth pumping ice to about 12 as soon as you can, just because it makes most of the game pathetically easy. Necromutation does the same, but refreshing it all the time is annoying and it running out in the midst of battle can lead to death. They are by far the best late game characters, their natural resistances mean they can load up on evasion/ac/stats modifiers (as can be seen with my character) and their lack of hunger means they can skip using staff of energy and instead use staff of air. Not being able to use potions is easier than I expected, To beat Zigs without real risk you need: Tornado,Haste, Deflect missiles, Swiftness, Makhleb and sustain ability for the mummy levels, you can add in Darkness for over kill.ĭo not call your character Liri in a fit of boredom, it's a stupid name for a mummy and you will regret it later on. Wait for tornado to take on Mara/Menna's/Borris the rest can be killed with Poisonous cloud/Mephic but do not take on Nikola without resist lightning no matter how powerful you are, learn insulation if you must. Spammed hellfire after attacking for 10 turns with a staff of channeling, R.I.P mighty and ancient mummy) Once I can cast tornado at great without Vehumet's bonus, I switch as soon as I can to Makhleb, which makes the character pretty much invincible. I leave snake 5 and swamp 5 until after I can cast tornado or freezing cloud/refrigeration and after elf 5 and vault 8, the risk is not worth the reward of doing them earlier. Vault 8 is just as safe, just go up and down the stairs killing everything slowly with poisonus cloud. I like victory dancing air when I can, so I can cast poisonous cloud as soon as it's available, in this game I had it usable on dungeon floor 7, it makes lair/orc and hive easy, use mystic blast/wands on snakes/hydras and spined toads. Once you have swiftness, deflect missiles and poisonous cloud it's safe to take on elf 5, you can also do it without deflect missiles but swiftness/boots of running are a must. (if you have any doubt about your ability to handle a certain foe, use blink and get to safety, return after you have a plan.) Learn to use blink, don't wait until you have low life, use it immediately if you are too close to a dangerous enemy to get away. It's worth it using any enchant scroll as soon as you get it, anyway you will switch to staff of air when you find it, never needing to enchant another weapon. (I never found one in this game so I used a short sword of freezing). With mummies it's even more important to train fighting as early as you can, my practice is to search for a venom weapon and enchant it as much as I can, next, I stop using magic arrow and only use mephic.
Apparently the game doesn't keep track of zig levels very well, according to it I finished 10 zigs and only 250 levels, when I actually finished 13 zigs with 373 levels, this is based on the log.
(I bailed at level 22 just because I felt it was time to convert to Makhleb.)Ĩ. (not to mention getting no decent loot.)ħ.I was never reduced to single digit hps, even though I only found my first wand of healing on level 18 of my first zig. (ashame I never got a 27 angel level, could have been fun)ĥ.I only killed 8 orbs of fire (bad luck here after 14 zigs you would think it would be more.)Ħ.The last few zigs were quite boring, I got so many spider/snake levels it was pretty much, go forward everything dies. The toughest level was on lvl 22 an angel level, but through keeping my distance and firestorm/tornado including 2 charges of a wand of healing just for safety, it wasn't really a problem. I killed 498 demon lords, only 2 more for 500.ģ.The most demon lords I killed in one go was 30 on lvl 27 of a zig, I also killed 26 on another lvl 27 of a zig.Ĥ. It's amusing looking back at the game log, here's the highlights:ġ.I reached level 8 on floor 3 after killing Grinder and Sigmund, Luckily I found a book of power on level 2.Ģ.
