how to become a demon slayer?
« on: April 28, 2007, 05:32:00 am »

I wandered around the map, killed undeads, greenskins, wilds and everything else that attacked me. Now I can't find any suitable enemies, so I'm still only a troll slayer. I want to become a demon slayer, so where can I find dragons, demons and other "real" enemies?

Go to the capital cities and ask about a quest from the dude in the fort.
These are the big quests.

Though demons are only available in too-deeped dwarf fortresses.

I beat the main demon.. once.  It was a very long and very cheap victory.  I had a ring shaped loop of hallways and rooms and simply ran away from it while throwing my legendary rocks.  They slowly bruised him a little or something, then I found some adamantine ore laying around and threw it at the demon and I don't know if adamantine just makes really good throwing rocks or what, but he went down pretty hard.

That wasn't adamantine, it was kryptonite!

Heh. Yeah, the one time I fought the demon it was similarly underwhelming. I'd built up my adamantine industry outside the fortress in regular non-magma forges so that it could be accessed by adventurers more easily. I'd got a full set of adamantine armour, an axe and a serrated adamantine disc, for throwing at things. Anyway, I spot the demon and throw the disc immediately, hoping to soften him up.

Stupid crappy demon.

The main demon needs a buff, but too bad I cant find him in my most recent too-deeped fortress (of which happened last night)

By buff, I mean already-set shit and some new tags, like [THROWCATCHER], and and actually working [THROWER] tag.

Throw a serrated adamantine disk at him? He'll catch it and throw it right back at you.

God, that would be a cool feature... but maybe it could be made into a function of Throwing skill as well, so skillful human throwers could also catch things.

(I'm reminded of Casino Royale where Bond catches the gun and throws it back, thwacking him right between the eyes.)

Adamantium DISK? holy cheesits batman. You do realize that adamantium has triple the damage of iron?   :D

No wonder he went down hard, you should go back with a ball on a chain and see how far he flies,.

Triple? Are you sure? Last time I checked the wiki I could of sworn it was like 500% damage. Or something.

Either way...

Yeah.  500% of basic iron.  Basic steel is 133%.  Note that this is BASIC stuff.  Masterwork steel is 266% of basic iron.  Masterwork adamantine?  1000% of basic iron.  Now, masterwork adamantine is hard to come by, but you rarely get plain basic adamantine anyway.  You at least get fine, or whatever, which still adds a significant amount of damage.  Significant.

Was it an artifact?  You should be able to find any lost artifact in the fort it was lost in...  supposedly.

edit:  or was that the inflate error sword...
