Fountain poison shouldn't instakill. It should only lower max HP and deal great damage. How much was your health?

[TheDarkStar]

I was starving, prayed, and was told that I felt good. I was still starving. If I have to see DYWYII? one more time...

Nethack.

PPE: There are some instakill things that you can find, but that's usually from things that lower vital stats below 0.

My max was only 15, I was still low level. Apparently I had accidentally killed my kitten at some point.

[Mech#4]

At least it wasn't Elona. Oh wait, that would've ended in death as well.

What is it with these games and making wells deadly? There was a well in Divinity 2 that was quite happy to let you live. All it asked for was you to chuck as much money down it as you could.

Sigmund.

Crawl.

[mastahcheese]

That damn Sigmund.

[Trapezohedron]

Sigmund.

Crawl.

I quit Crawl after getting killed by him the umpteenth time. :|

[mastahcheese]

I haven't even played it, and even I know about that guy.

[Jack_Bread]

I was about to kill a certain boss in Dark Souls 2, the one in the area where you get invaded fucking constantly. They were giving me SO MUCH TROUBLE and there are practically no summon signs there. Just as I was about to kill them, MY FUCKING CONTROLLER DIES. I've never wanted to punch something more in my life. I ended up punching my own fists out of frustration.

I recommend running from him. If you're sneaky enough, you should be able to spot him before he spots you. You can also skip the floor he's on, too.

I've played Dungeons of Dredmor. Guess what - there's a powerful named boss on floor 1 named Sigmund.

That bastard's killing inexperienced players in other games.

[MaximumZero]

Sigmund.

Crawl.

I usually make it to at least the Lair of the Beasts, but this time I was trying a spellcaster instead of a tank.

I wish I could efficiently run away, but half the time he goes invisible and catches up. Then he kills me. The only time I managed to kill him was when I played as the Missionary of Beogh, having so many orc followers to tank him. :<

Nethack.

That probably means you had a trouble other than hunger, and the prayer fixed that instead.

[Krath]

After some fifteen-twenty minutes, I've finally gotten Mr. Freeze on the ropes. Since I screwed up the chance for a Ledge Takedown and the Reverse Ledge Takedown is beyond my ability, my only option for the finishing blow was a Drop Attack. I made a few mistakes earlier, so even with full ballistic armor upgrades, I'm at four health bars left - and since this is New Game+, it might as well be one.

So I lure the ice man in a roundabout path that puts him just below one of the railings, and wait for him to walk by. My mistake was crouching behind it. In the heat of the moment, I forgot that trying to jump a railing while crouched will actually make you leap over it and hang off of it, as opposed to doing it while standing, which causes you to perch on top of it in perfect position for a Drop Attack.

Needless to say, old Victor jumped at the opportunity in front of him, and blasted old Bats full automatic in the back while he hung from a rail like a dipstick.

You see Sigmund?
You run like heck towards upper stairs.
You run to OTHER downwards stairs/emergency stairs.
You pray and get OUT OF THAT FLOOR AS QUICK AS YOU CAN.
Repeat due to Sigmund being slow.

...Dear goodness be with you if you try to fight him early.
Also, seriously. Keep on playing. Sigmund is like your 'grown-up Stone Soup' badge. You'll grow stronger, then you can get up there and beat him! \o/
