I just avoided stronger enemies until I'd leveled up enough from weak enemies. And kept doing that until I defeated the final boss. Oh and I made sure to equip any gear I found along the way that was better than my current gear. I recommend this strategy to anyone who's struggling

my set up is skills at 25% for fighting, axe, armor, and dodge

I die because I am a loving retard and get caught in stupid situations like 5 hydras rear end raping me from all directions and when I quaff a potion it turns me into a tree

try levelling just axe until you reach the minimum attack delay for your weapon, you should reach it somewhere in the lair. you really want to be able to attack as fast as possible asap. if hydras are a big problem also, consider blunt weapons. personally i always go maces&flails unless i find a godlike weapon before lair because i loving hate hydras.

i cant wait until you start running into torment lol. basically, theres enemies that can cut ur hp in half at any time as long as they have los on you. the only way to avoid it is to be dead or a tree. its so nasty.

another run secured by insanely op drops (4 scrolls of acquirement in the lair alone, another hat of the alchemist (total op item)). i got a ring of rPois on like d:2 and i knew it was gonna be the run.

[cracking my fingers at 8am, sunday] Okay, time to register and learn 6000 new words to play a 35 year old game but THIS time on the Goon Run Server (?) even though this is a 3mb offline program



code:
 Run Terminal
Sudo Retarded Goons Service Uptime


Mmmhmmm, but what about the 7 day?

code:
 Run Terminal
Sudo Retarded Goons Service Uptime 7 Days 


Wow... this is gonna take longer to get set up than I thought. Good thing I am not playing the regular program, which has been deemed annoying.

I guess it's time to dig into the metadata ..





Interesting... but is there more hidden deeper in the code?



I feel like I'm almost ready to play





Gooncrawl is just a fork of DCSS with cool mechanics. The devs on the main branch seems hell bent on removing stuff. I've had some 15 runers on main branch, then decided that archeologist class and fairy dragon is too cool to pass on.

Swamp has bullshit enemies. You had it right doing all of lair and all of orc before you did a lair branch. I usually clear a lot of the dungeon first too, sometimes all the way to the depths entrance

Bro why aren't you leveling fighting. Unless it's changed it gives you HP lol. It's more important than even your weapon skill, like Spellcasting for casters. Especially cuz you're playing zerker and they tend to really need as much HP as they can possibly get.

My first time winning both a Gargoyle and an Earth Elementalist, and they were both insanely good. I had 57 AC at the end of the game, and was casting Shatter and Lehudib's Crystal Spear with 1% fail rate. However, it was probably the scariest Lair I have done in a while, and Mennas was on Vaults:5 who was basically a hard counter to every trick I had.
