Mythos:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alright, Meanmelter.
also, proficient striking is when you can start falcon punching shit and making them squirm around. Stomach blows are great as they wait 1-2 turns vomiting all over the place and possibly passing out. That Yeti Demon went through this.

Well, I tried again, and kept getting killed. I might reload the save sometime and try again, or once I've made a great fortress make some adamantine gear and leave it for another adventurer to make the journey. Anyway, Meanmelter, you've made me want to make a striker character...

Then everything near it exploded in a cloud of blood.

It's fun, unless a biting creature shakes you around, it's the true weakness, so some wrestling will help

I've tried it, and it seems like wrestling is a requirement. Beating them up never managed to kill them: it reduced them to a useless gibbering mess, but I never got a killing blow. Once they're in that state, however, with some wrestling I could probably just tear their head off (literally).

Mythos, could you upload that save?  I just don't have the patience to make my way all the way down.

Sure. It's a human swordsman, with a full set of exceptional quality bronze gear. Should be good enough to get you through, I made it to the pits. Just a tip:

I can't think of any free file uploaders, are you aware of one?

Mediafire is the best, it doesn't hassle you to buy a premium account.

Well, I don't kill half of them anyway. I stun them horribly, Grab them, and start smashing, and punching them in the face. Wait untill you get brain matter everywhere.

I feel like a dumbass here, but how do I just upload a folder? It won't let me, it only works if I just pick a file.

Use Winrar to make it a .rar file and upload that.

Duh, not sure why I didn't think to do that. Anyway, here you go: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1984

Just get rid of your old save folder (delete it or just temporarily move it out) and put that one in. Or you could just rename the "region1" folder to one not used, either way works.

Adventurer's Log
Well, this is it, the long trek! I've descended once more through the bronze-colossus-infested cave above. I believe... this way is north, towards the mountains, so this way I will head.
And I have with me the ear and blood of a dwarf, to give me luck on my journey. Pity the colossus couldn't kill him, so I had to do the job myself. That's one dwarven civilization I'll never show my face in again!
Nothing left but to put on some music and set off.

Striking doesn't seem terribly lethal... I'm up to Accomplished, and I still can't do anything more than bruising people.
