[Graven]

I unlocked uttercold on my Wyrmic, to my surprise. I hadn't really played anything else with great AoE cold damage, so that was surprising. Also isn't there an option to switch tiles with a friendly character? I could've sworn there was a while ago.

[Darkmere]

Alfred the holographic Sher'tul isn't a party member. It's a friendly NPC with a dialog screen when you talk to it, walk into it, click on it, etc. I tried everything I could think of, so I'll probably just screenshot it, submit it in Bug Reports, and start over.

Yeah, it sucks, but it's not like level 22 is a huge investment in anything but auto-exploring early dungeons.

[DeKaFu]

I've been playing this game for quite a while, and it just now clicked that "Atamathon" = "automaton".

Sorry for the double-post, but guess who just won their first roguelike? Hint: It's me!

  [Winner!]

Well done! You have won the Tales of Maj'Eyal: The Age of Ascendancy

The Sorcerers are dead, and the Orc Pride lies in ruins, thanks to your efforts.

You have prevented the portal to the Void from opening and thus stopped the Creator from bringing about the end of the world.

The orc presence in the Far East has greatly been diminished by the loss of their leaders and the destruction of the Sorcerers. The free people of the Sunwall will be able to prosper and thrive on this land.

Maj'Eyal will once more know peace. Most of its inhabitants will never know they even were on the verge of destruction, but then this is what being a true hero means: to do the right thing even though nobody will know about it.

You may continue playing and enjoy the rest of the world.

So...I'm still alive. What is there to do in the post-game? Farportals, Atamathon, anything else? Would I be totally crushed by Atamathon? (never tried)

[lemon10]

Yeah, that basically it. Atamathon, farportals, and the Infinite dungeon.

I'm not quite sure how tough you will find Atamathon (although I think he will kill you, since you don't appear to have enough resists and such to sheild through all the damage he can deal to for more then a 1 or 2 turns (at which point you start to take +1000 damage per turn)). Before you fight him you will want to get as much fire resist as possible, keeping in mind that he also has 50% damage return. If you can turn off his damage return he becomes quite a bit easier. Now, if you can get your fire resist up near 75%, I think that you will be able to kill him, although it might still be a little tough.

Once you beat Atamathon though, there isn't really much worth your time to do.

Doing the ID kind of sucks, since you can't level up past 50 even there (and eventually you will just be running into regular enemies that are OMGWTF strong without any real way of getting stronger), and farportals are basically annoying grinding till you find a boss that can beat you (eg. dreaming horror necromancer bulkward) without breaking a sweat.

[Eurynomos]

Main problem is that I YASD too much in this game. I don't play TOME with the same level of care that I do with a game like say, Dungeon Crawl. Better adjust if I want to win, cause I've only been to the east I think, around 2 times out of countless times I've played.

I hoped for that soooo long

[Max White]

So I've been playing a bit... Is playing as an alchemist but directly controlling the golem while letting your main guy do his own thing actually the best way to play the class, or am I just doing it wrong?

[Frumple]

S'not a very safe way, heh. And it'll get chu killed eventually. Tac AI's not quite stupid, but it's pretty far from smart and quite terrible at managing sling/arse extraction methodologies appropriately. And it's what's controlling your alchie while you're running around as a golem. Which is to say eventually your arse will enter sling and the AI won't have any clue how to get it out, whereas you might be able to.

But hell. If it's working for you. Let it work for you, y'know?

Alchies... alchies still just bomb everything to hell and back, I think. 5/5/5/0 explosive admixtures, throw bombs, do whatever. Channel staff or fire alchemy or golems... whatever. LoS bomb of doom does not care. Everything goes boom.

[Max White]

Eh, play as a Cornac, use that talent point to unlock heat from level 1, use all your skill points in fire alchemy and upgrading the golem... Letting the AI have a nuke isn't my idea of safe. You can have the alchemist sit by the stairs after clearing the initial area so you can send out the golem on its own like a sentry to sweep the area and just rebuild it every time it dies.

I don't normally play roguelikes in ways that are expected.

[Frumple]

Third tier boom talent makes the huge AoE nuke do absolutely nothing to allies when maxed

Plus some resistances, which isn't terrible. Mostly it's just so you can drop the eff off huge explosion right on your head and give no flips.

And golem bombing stuff around corners is pretty normal, yeah. Expected to a degree for higher danger stuff, though it used to be a bit abusive. I think the AI changes to mitigate the amount that screws with the AI has been implemented with the latest version, anyway.

But anyway... golem'll sweep good chunk of the early game, then later on (mid, late mid) the amount of damage it can do just starts dropping off. Still fairly tanky and it still lays on enough hurt to tilt some odds your way, but you need the doomdakka from the alchemist to really make things work at that point (and fine control of the alchemist itself to keep the alchie from going splat, to the degree that later in the game controlling the golem when something's in LoS of the alchie is basically suicide). Fire alchemy's not terrible, especially supplemented with channel staff and the golem, but if you really want to throughput the pain bombs are still where it's at. They're just entirely too sexy >_>

You want to do something unexpected, leave the ranged at the door and go full golem/staff melee. That would be delightfully ridiculous (you'd die horribly.).

[Max White]

Eh, haven't been playing for that long, so over powered early game strategies are still what I'm having fun with.
Speaking of which, I recently unlocked the archmage. My god that glass cannon is fun, I hope its ability to kill anything with only a mean look doesn't drop off...

[Frumple]

More... diversifies. It does slump a little in the mid game, but then the crazy caster artifacts and suchlike start rolling in and you facemelt entire levels an'crap. Plus you're basically unkillable because of all the ridiculous utility and defensive measures magi get access to. They're a little insane, really.

Though yeah after a bit the triple beam combo will stop killing everything in one volley. Eventually you might even need more than two! At which point you've got other stuff you can use like layered AoE doom fields et al.
