You can also dig down and go back up. Medusa is by the downstairs. She's near a Perseus statue that has a good chance to contain levitation boots.

Cursed levitation boots. It sucks to have to waste a prayer on decursing them because you are retarded and had your whole inventory blanked because you forgot to put on your levitation ring before dumping the trolls body into the moat at the castle. Oh and then having a soldier blow the ring up with lightning.

Not that I would know anything about that of course.

Dip a dagger into potions to check for poly, then dip a unihorn to check for blindness, Hallucination, sickness and confusion. (Sickness becomes Fruit Juice, the rest become water.) Hell, once you have poly id'd and a unihorn you can just quaff potions to find out what they are. Just stand on a burnt elbereth inside of a locked closet and you should be fine from 99% of monsters incase you quaff paralyze.

Not that it really makes that much of a difference. But I find it more efficient to dip darts/arrows instead of a dagger when testing for polymorph potions. If you do find a potion of sickness the darts/arrows become poisoned, and can then be used to identify a stack of healing potions have.

Although this method has the downside of consuming a potion of sickness/healing. But by the time I'm ready to ID potions in this manner, I've found that NPC's have usually already ID'd 2 of the 3 healing potions and I have more than enough potions for my holy water needs.

Also when it comes time to quaff unidentified potions, be sure to BUC test them first and only drink uncursed/blessed potions.

God dammit, I created a monk earlier and on the first two levels I found an aligned altar, a blessed elven mithril coat, a crystal plate mail, a blessed two handed sword, a tinning kit and more jackal corpses than I could carry.

Yea, I knew about the sink trick, but for some reason I decided to pray. Probably because I was headed to Gehennom and really had no use for the prayer.

I don't take nethack "too" seriously. I just do stuff because it's fun. But the next time I manage to get myself the same amount of gear, I promise you I won't die of overeating, that's for sure :)

Another YASD was equipping a cursed ring of teleport, getting teleported to a random room, Keystone entering and I start zapping a wand of slow monster, that bounces on the wall, hits me, sleeps me and they kill me :(

Well, that sucked. I made a Lawful Valkyrie and was trying to make Excalibur. My first #dip made a bunch of snakes come out, so I killed them all with careful use of the E word and a prayer. Then I healed up and tried dipping again. Same thing happened, though this time I wasn't so lucky.

So I ask you, what the crap? Was it just wicked bad RNG luck, or am I doing something wrong? I was level 6 and lawful, so I would think I wouldn't have a problem, but double snakes?

Bad RNG luck. There's only a 1/6 chance of your sword turning into Excalibur on any dip. Snakes twice in a row was random luck. (If you want the math, the chances of getting snakes twice in a row is (5/6 * 1/30)^2 = 1/1296)

That's also why we look up weird scary messages. "Slowing down" should have been the first clue, but "limbs are stiffening" definitely meant it was time to stop pushing buttons until you figured out what was going on. That's assuming you don't mind massive spoilers, but if you do then you're in the wrong thread.

I'm surprised though, I thought eating a cockatrice egg was an instadeath for sure. Touching a cockatrice is, isn't it? I thought its combat ability was the only delayed stoning in the game.

Being hit by a wielded corpse also causes stiffening. I think the delayed deaths were implemented because dying instantly from eating an unidentified egg, or being hit by a corpse you didn't see wielded, would be patently unfair. If you bite a cockatrice as a vampire lord, or assign its corpse to the 'y' key and then try to eat something off the floor, that's your own drat fault so you die instantly.

Well, my Ranger ended up dying promptly after the screenshot I posted but I ascended my first character tonight. Chaotic Orcish Barbarian, twoweaponing Frost Brand and a silver saber. Fairly easy run, the most tedious part was the plane of fire with my ring of conflict. I ended up taking it off because the turns were way too long.

I've been sending a great train of barbarians to their deaths this last few weeks. At least I got a few good deaths out of the deal. Used a wand of teleport on a leocrotta so it couldn't kill me only to have it reappear behind me and eat me? Check (in sokoban no less). Mistake a floating eye for a bothersome water nymph and get frozen and killed? Check.

I recently started spoilering myself more after trying to avoid it in the past. It hasn't helped too much yet, but it's really fun reading about all the stuff I might see in a year.

No it was definitely an arch-lich. I zapped a wand I thought was cold at a monster behind a boulder in the pit corridor. (It was polymorph.)

I was trying to plug the last three pits so I could stand on the upstairs and beat him to death, with Magicbane and magic resistance I was taking no damage on most of his appearances. I figured I could outlast him.

Then he did ~40 damage in two psi bolts :smith:

I always have the worst luck with those bastards. Always something harmless while it's out of range. But once it's with range it's a usually something way out of my ability to handle. Last time it was a Jabberwock that came out of a blind corner to destroy me before I could even E.

Ahh, I see. I had assumed that it was create monster. Have you thought about using 0 for boulders, by the way? Makes sokoban much easier IMO. When you use ` it sometimes makes me think it's one space above where it actually is, making me push it against a wall.

I ain't his friend! If you were to ask me if I was his friend, I would say "NO" to you!
Haha 19 wishes, that's ludicrous. I had a game like that a while back where I was just flooded with magic lamps.

Mini-caster Valk, nice. The first one is a very cool thing, so congrats.

How the heck did Excal get to -3 anyhow?

EDIT: Wow, didn't even see the Demogorgon kill. I didn't tango with him until many ascensions had passed. Very nice!

3 wands of wishing + a magic lamp, haha.

My second and third wands of wishing randomly exploded on me though, even though I was sure they weren't charged :(

I engraved something with it for the hell of it since I didn't need it anymore.

I had to kill Demogorgon. The high priest of moloch summoned him, and he took the amulet. Had to chase him down and kill him. I didn't even notice I killed him till a dragon dropped the amulet 5 squares away.

And yeah I accidentally walked into water like 50 times, I'm lucky I didn't drown. But most of my scrolls blanekd from that.

Wands have a small chance of exploding if zapped when cursed. If you feel like exploiting a bug you can engrave with your wand of wishing rather than zapping it because it won't explode if you do it that way.

Also I've killed more woodchucks than Demogorgons :v:

You survived that much inadvertant dunking? And killed Demogorgon? This is ridiculously awesome, you know that, right?


Personally, the mutual hatred between me and Nethack has gotten to the point where I'll never, ever have a chance at ascension, but for some reason I do go back to play a quick round every now and again. Most of my deaths come from impatience; unlike some people I do eventually get bored of exercising my wisdom in the dust and counting the turns I can safely flee from leocrottas in. I've never even gotten to Vlad.

That entire game was like proof that dumb luck can prevail. Two wands of wishing before sokoban, then a magic lamp in some dude's bones files around dlvl 13. The guy even got angry at me because it didn't give him a djinni, and he knew I already had two wands, haha.
