Well, I didn't exactly *rescue* the puppy.



(Gonna go out on a limb and assume this doesn't count for the trophy...)

Also, I absolutely get Ditocoaf's earlier complaint - I'm half-convinced the character they give you for the tutorial in ADOM is immortal. I've fought my way through a truly insane horde of enemies and basically every weapon I've found to rust monsters and getting disarmed by master swordsmen. At this point all I have is a basic club, but nothing seems to be able to do any damage to me, so I just wail on them until my insane crit rate pops off a few times and puts them down. I think I need to restart with a different character.

Edit: Lol never mind - I wandered out of the village and immediately got jumped by a dozen bandits, couldn't escape the area, and got killed. RIP Ham, you sucked and were boring to play.

no shame in turning it down to ITYTD imo, i couldn't even get past floor 3 on HNTR

HNTR's first floor felt harder than HMP due to the layout. I probably also need to stop doing the challenge rooms

still getting killed pre-lair 90% of the time. a lot of my playthroughs involve getting hosed by a small mob and poor RNG and it's getting a bit tiring. still gonna try until the end though.

I don't think it's even possible to get all 50 without it on your first playthrough. The first two thirds of the game have no backtracking and some of the gems are hidden behind weird, counterintuitive poo poo.

: Beat the Game
: Beat the game with an Angel Challenge

played on HNTR. first time getting past cybie, felt good to close it out. found a combat pistol on something like phobos 4 and cruised most of the rest of the way. I think in some ways the harder difficulties are maybe easier - you're a lot more likely to have a strong build online from more xp before you get to cyberdemon. missed 100% kills because I went to the containment area without thinking and had no way to bust down the wall

for people still figuring the game out, make sure to use cover to your advantage (enemies won't shoot at you if you're behind a wall with more than like 40 degree cover), and use your ears - you can tell what kind of enemies are around and their general direction by the noises they make if you have directional headphones. you can also blind-fire around corners or far away if you know where enemies are. somebody mentioned the phobos anomaly being tough - I've had the most success with sprinting in a zigzag back towards the doorway. the cacos will blast a lot of the lost souls and you can dodge many of their charges, but I usually end up eating a couple large healthpacks and losing most of my armor anyway (but I've been using pistol builds so maybe it's easier with a shotgun). the bruiser brothers aren't too tough if you use the cover of the doorways and sprint away when they get too close

now back to nethack...

unless it was a mistake not to specify the qud trophies dont say it has to be classic/permadeath mode and the other mode uses settlements as checkpoints, could be good to try to get some trophies if the permadeath/difficulty in RLs in an issue. plus the (optional) main quest and bigger side quests are more like what youd expect from a regular rpg, and while the opening is quite difficult after that it can be a lot easier if you arent rushing stuff cos theres nothing stopping you looking for items/levels in the giganitc world before you tackle the main dungeons. im absolutely not just trying to trick more people into playing it.

: Get three runes

I love this game lol. First time getting a Gnoll this far and it's such a great experience. "Guy what is good at magic and swords" is my favourite type of character to make in this game. Also a +9 vampiric lajatang helps.

hell yeah, gnolls are super fun. love that you can basically use anything as well as anything else so you're always adapting to what's going on instead of sticking to a narrow build

somebody mentioned using shops to ID stuff in nethack. is that just by like, seeing what price a shopkeeper will offer you and memorizing what sells for what? shopkeepers are not very helpful and just using random items is a good way to die

oh, this shopkeeper had a mimic in his stuff, that he let kill me so he could get my things. sitting there patiently while I wander around asking about potions, "yes, that one's 100 zorkmids :D"

Ash has changed a bunch. Curses are gone outside of ash. When you wander around, ash gives you a curse that you can put on an item of your choice. The curse comes with a boost to 4-10 skill groups (e.g., Ash offers you a curse of summoning and fighting and...). Cursing an item turns it into an artefact you can't take off, decursing an item permanently breaks it. Piety is based only on how many cursed slots you have.
