And I had like five big healing potions stockpiled in case he was difficult. You can kind of fuck yourself over if you beeline too far without escaping, because you won't have enough artifacts to survive very well.Īnyway, you know what's funny? Getting an insta-kill on the final boss. Its got that cyclic dive down and hop out thing going on, ala Izuna or Baroque, but is pretty simple and none too difficult once you get further in.īut it's in browser so gains massive points over those games! I'm going to have to start giving this some tries I like Spriggan Assassins but I like Kobold Assassins almost as much.įor consideration, candy-sized rogue-like. Meanwhile, the benefits of the god means you can expect to have about +15 to all three stats by level 12 or so, making you a sneaky, deliberate god of death.Ī sneaky, deliberate god of death with a special ability to nuke everything in sight faster than you. It's fun because if you're stealthy enough, your slowness matters less, as you can often just sneak up and obliterate enemies in one stab. Not sure about a "nimble" assassin, but my earlier reference to a "slow kobold assassin" meant a kobold assassin that worshipped the god of slowness, he-who-can't-be-spelled-properly (Chiabridos? Chibadros? Cheetos?). Hard to keep alive, but certainly fun to play. Yeah, sludge elf transmuters are amusing.
It adds a whole new level of depth to the game, and ends up being very funĬould someone explain the concept of "slow" and "nimble" assassin? Not sure what those mean I did, however, greatly enjoy my Sludge Elf Transmuter. The regen is crazy, and combat is so quick and simple. I've had the most success with a Troll Monk. The bitch there is you still get spell hunger so they're sort of last ditch options for my usual assassins. But don't take off the equipment by accident! Heh.Ģ) 200, I believe, which is probably six stars, but piety lowers naturally for a variety of reasons (and drops by a chunk when you get a gift, I think).ĥ) I've seen the jiggly slime altar in the regular dungeons a few times it's usually surrounded by red slimes in my experience.ħ) I'm not sure about every rod, but I've had several rods of destruction of various flavors on Spriggans and they all keyed off of Evocations. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.ġ) Current value, so if you have 4 natural + 6 equipment of a stat and lose 5 of that stat, you're fine. Do other rods suffer similar problems, or are they safely dependent entirely on evocations? Is "summon swarm" similarly limited, or was it just tremendously unlucky that it spawned two yellow wasps that stunlocked me and tore me limb from tiny limb, despite my 15 evocations? would it be safe to duck in early, map the level with a scroll, and try a mad dash to convert? I'd love to get a demonspawn assassin in there, to create a supermutant.Ħ) Good gods only punish you if you switch to an "evil god." Do all gods other than the three good ones count as "evil?" Put another way, could a (non-demonspawn, obviously) character who wanted to worship Jivya worship Elvylion just to survive his way to the altar, then safely switch?ħ) I found (well, "acquired") a rod of summoning on my Spriggan Artificier, but discovered it sort of sucked because the chance of elementals being friendly is actually based on the related elemental skill, which of course I didn't have. I level up, get two levels of fire breathing, then drink a potion and get the third - is that third level immune to being "cured" by a potion or mutation-removing ability?ĥ) Do altars of the mutation god ever appear outside of the Slime Pits? And where in the slime pits can I count on finding one - i.e.
#Dungeon crawl stone soup vampire assassin full
if I have four int but a +6 int ring, am I in danger of dying if I get a sudden -5? It's especially important for my slow-god character (slow kobold assassins are fun as hell!)ģ) Is it counter-productive to sacrifice every item I can't use to the card god for piety? Should I sac everything until I hit full asterisks in piety, then sac only one category so I guarantee good deck types?Ĥ) If a potion of mutation enhances a demonspawn natural "demonic ancestry" trait - i.e.
Crawl gurus, I have a couple quick questions that I can't find answers to in the wiki:ġ) Is statdeath based on the natural stat value or the current stat value? I.e.
