I rarely use them but they can be useful if you find yourself against powerful monsters that you can't quite take yet head on yet. Chip them down from far away then take them out with your main weapon. If you really need to kill something, paralyze it with a potion or scroll, back up, and start thro...

I used everything that could help. Have rings of regen, stealth, protect, dex, incr dmg. Staff of light, cancel, slow mnst. Potions of heal, restore str. Scrolls of remove curse, monster confusion (useless, I can't hit them), hold monster, ident. I didn't realize drinking potions of demolition would...

On my current run to floor 182 with a freezing sword, at +9/+9 on floor 90 I could barely hit anyone. Past floor 100 I could not hit ANYTHING, literally miss every time on anything. From floors 90-182 I picked up 6 more enchant weapon scrolls and they all went to strength. Haven't been able to hit a...

Potion of Phasing (aka Potion of IDCLIP :)): Allows you to walk through monsters for x number of turns (very short, maybe 10-20). If the effect ends while you are "inside" a monster you fuse together and die. During the effect, monsters within 1 square of you will not move (so they don't j...

No, the problem is he won't move left of the spot he's standing in right now. If I back up even one spot, he just runs back to the door.

Then maybe it is you who underestimates. ;) I'm not saying it's not a good tactic, I'm saying I figured ALL the top runs were done stealthy, one way or the other (but I mostly assumed shozuku armor or stealth rings), so I thought you were talking about something other than walking around armorless ...

1) find a pit trap and fall into it 2) let it hit you then it might follow you into the catacombs, especially once he is further away from the door 3) any wands of polymorph, transport, or cornucopia? 4) what kind of monster is it? if it's a vamp and you happen to have a potion of blessing, you cou...

I'm so annoyed right now. I'm on level 182, and there is a monster blocking the only entrance to the stair room, and he WON'T FOLLOW ME. He only comes out 2-3 spaces from the door (in a hallway) and then turns around and goes back to guarding the door. I can't actually hit him, and I don't have any ...

i don't think there's any way i will be able to beat it without a wand of polymorph or cornucopia. If you polymorph your skeleton (or turn it into food) you won't get the items it has when you kill it right? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of fighting your skeleton at all? I suggest, if you have so...

I dropped everything but 3 wanted items before suicicde and I get items I never had, sometimes nothing, and on my one partially successful attemp I got 1 ring drop Well like I said, there seems to be a bug about what the corpses drop sometimes (see bug thread). I kept trying to pick up Gareth's swo...
