Innate Abilities, Weirdness & Mutations
You reflexively headbutt those who attack you in melee.
You have a pair of horns on your head.
After a few more tries several interesting conclusions have been reached:
- Resistances are a must, but raw HP is also needed; Stone giants, Yaktaurs, Meliae and hasted Trolls are not really avoidable in the long run unless a lot of Stealth is trained.
- While generally better, I found Crossbows a lot worse than Bows for the Dungeon->Depths run; good Crossbows are rarer, and they are slower, which means more chances of 50 Very Ugly Things merrily gurgling around your un-resistant face
- The early game is also easier with bows, in that shortbows can basically be ignored (similar to hand crossbows), but Longbows and arrows are a lot more common than Arbalests and bolts. Unless you have 20 Bows skill, in which case at least 3 shops will have randart arbalests/Triple Crossbows.
- Gloves of archery are pretty nice
- Going for ranged as your only offensive skill is really tedious early game. And midgame.
- The total removal of useful wands also has a significant effect, since you can't reliably escape come lategame. Scrolls are few and far inbetween, so you have to be pretty stingy.
The jump from Dungeon to Depths gets me every time. It is so, so much more dangerous. You need to kite basically every enemy, since if you let a lot aggro it's a neverending merry-go-round of Giants, Very Ugly Things and Hell Knights around your face. There are so many fast enemies, and enough Troll Earth Mages to always be threatened with surrounding. The gosh darn stupid Rune lock also prevents you from getting the much easier experience and loot from Vaults 1-4. I'm currently entering Depths at around Xlvl 15, which is way too early to be fighting Juggernauts.
Also I'm still not sure what to do after clearing Depths, and I have the sneaky suspicion trying the same thing as last game will most likely end the same way too.
I'm thinking either:
A) Get TSO, chill in the smaller Abysses until I can bless my longbow
B) Get TSO, run around Pan until I can bless my longbow
Really not sure how Pan compares to the hells for the coveted "Easier Extended First Rune" award.
