oooooh

found some assassin boots in lair 2

thinking of swapping over to axes for the hilarious exec axe stabs

[Graven]

Ok I think I'm done with extended, barring any statue form shenanigans.

This is definitely one of my favourite builds, but boy does it go a lot faster if you have slaying. This was slower than my Gargoyle win, only got the mask of the dragon in Tomb and decided it wasn't worth wearing. VsFi -> go Usk for 5 runes -> switch to TSO -> bless a quickblade -> back to Usk -> mash pan lords into paste.

Congrats!

If you're going for Slime (that's about as far as I would go into extended - you have nice gear, but extended is a pain if you're new to it and can't take The Shining One), get resist Corrosion, some cold resistance (for Azure jellies), some magic resistance (for golden eyes), be very careful about how many enemies you engage at once, don't ever try to fight more than two Acid Blobs at once even with rCorr, remember the walls hurt you, and keep an eye on your corrosion, since it can very quickly turn a non-threatening situation into death.

Basically be very, very paranoid, and run away from everything that either looks at you or throws stuff at you.

If you want details on how I approach it and specific threats, spoiler below.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Royal Jelly, the boss at Slime:5, is in the middle of an enclosed ring of walls, with serpentine corridors, and spawns high level jellies when you hit it - my basic tactic is to buff up with potions, fight it in the corridor, kill it, and immediately blink/teleport away, then lure the remaining slimes to the stairs and fight them there. If you find yourself overwhelmed with spawned slimes, just bail out - Slime can easily kill even Hell/Pan capable characters, because Corrosion is a pain. You can also use a scroll of summoning/evocable Mirror/spam TrogBros, whatever helps you not get surrounded by spawned slimes. You don't need to clear floors fully, just clear around the stairs so you can stairdance without disturbances.

Major threats in the branch are:

- Golden eyes (pack enemies which confuse)
- Floating Eyes (irresistable paralysis if you're in their Line of Sight)
- Acid Blobs (spit corrosion at you, and hit really hard)
- Shining Eyes (mutate you if you're in their Line of Sight)

There are other high level slimes, but the above are the most dangerous. Check after each shining eye if it gave you bad mutations, because you really don't want to be there with Teleportation or Berserkitis.

You can also find Dissolution there - a named unique slime, which... spawns eyes, I think? It's really rare so I don't get to fight it often, and I don't have specific tips - it makes sizzling noise, so if you get a "you hear a sizzling noise!" message, you can try to find it and fight it.

Good luck!

That's what I was thinking I'd try but there's not a single rCorr item in existence this game outside of other branches, except maybe Elf which I didn't clear. Oh well! Thanks for the advice though, I'll try it on another character!

EDIT: Literally crying. I found a rCorr ring on Zot:1, so I decided to go do the Royal Jelly. Thanks to your guide, I beat it! 5 runes!
Alas, I died on the orb run on floor 10 or so of the main dungeon. Was quaffing potions and using consumables like crazy but wow those summons range attacks hurt so much I definitely should have made it out but I was not being as careful as I should be. Always the hubris!

Grats on that It's always a good thing for support and positivity in your wins!
I somehow always make a Slime rune a mandatory rune for whatever reason <_> moreso on the notion of 'just because I can', and then I'm silly about it.

Maybe because I hug TSO like a permanent deity even if these aren't technically advisable for the corrosiveness of that whole branch.

Don't worry about it mate, it'll be a lot easier next time The orb run can be a major threat depending on what the game decides to spawn at you. Congrats on the new rune regardless, and congrats on the win FakerFangirl!

edit: man is going through the Depths without any elemental resistances a pain

Field trip report

Day 12: I have found what I assume is all the Slaying forged by humanity. Enchant Armour Scrolls blanket heavy but comforting. Gold Dragons seem unwilling to part with their skins, so blanket continues to grow thicker.

Descending into Zot

Send help

[Mathel]

My first win this version. I did find some nice artefacts, filling up my resistances.

I abandoned Quazlal at the end, because I hoped for Heretic banner. I forgot about the need to mollify the god. Sorry Quazlal.

[Graven]

Congratulations! That's a pretty sweet character, yeah.

I got a 5-rune HuBe win, but due to horrible equipment issues (not the slaying tho, slaying was flowing like a river) it took me 73k turns, just 10k under my 15-rune win.

Oh well, it's out of the way now, at least.

edit: also is literally noone playing this tournament at all? I'm 20th, with the world's sloppiest 3 wins, and I feel this really shouldn't be the case.

[Aelig]

I died in Gehenna with 6 runes, torment really is nasty...

EDIT :
I won a TeWn^Gozag, wanted to go for 15 runes but got malmutated super hard in slime with too few !mut to remove them because I forgot that was a thing in slime. I had berserkitis and teleportitis among others which is a big no no. Also, I love Gozag now.

[Inarius]

I'm back this evening for more adventure !
I hope you are doing well

[Graven]

Well done, Aelig! And welcome back Inarius

I lost a 'pode in Snake, because it turns out the new Swamp worms are lethal to squishy casters, and Fireball is not the best weapon of choice if you're trying to sneak around a dangerous branch. Back to melee for a win or two, then it's off to the caster races again.

Hi guys, good to see you all getting off to blazing starts. Managed to get two Lair runes with my SpEn of Ash, character at the stage where I just need to keep on being careful and there is nothing that should be able to stop it before V5 and Zot - got Invis, got Shadow Creatures, got a +9 quickblade of electricity. Have to go slow though - stupid spriggan definitely fragile, but realistically, I ought to be able to bring this one home. We shall see.

I always tell myself I need to get better at stabbers, and never do so sad, spectating other people playing stabbers is always great fun.


Also after roughly 70 MfAk's I have decided I utterly despise dodging and light armor, and will now win a minotaur in protest.
