I was being followed and ran into the room hoping to attack and flee.

Now I know how the thief feels when trapped in a room with no exits.

My inventory was very limited. I threw all my unknown potions and ended up paralyzed in a cloud of toxic gas and fire.

I don’t think it qualified as going out in a blaze of glory so much as desperation.

Even if I use the key , the crab moves so quick that it’s right on top of me and it would not be surprised which is what is required in order for me to hit it.

Testing out a mod for someone. It’s an easier version for their son.

The son is 8 and wants to play the game daddy plays but gets frustrated.

So, some extra health and gold makes easier.

For me, a 6 challenge is just enough to be fun.

I was asked, why keep a spear the entire game?

This was an odd run for me. The first weapon I received was a great axe. It is too large to be a value. I had almost no armor the entire game, until the imp. I obtained the ring of tenacity and the vampiric spear early on. Typically , I take my first upgrade scroll and turn it into enchantment stones and apply the stones to my bow. Throughout the game I mainly rely upon my bow as my primary weapon and don’t give much concern to a melee weapon. I later picked up the ring of furor. I augmented my bow for greater damage at the cost of speed. Using the ring I was able to offset and even greatly improve upon my attack speed. It is very rare that I get the chalice artifact. After looking over my inventory early on and realizing I was going to be challenged for armor and weapons, I noticed that between the 2 rings and the vampiric spear and the chalice of blood, by applying my upgrade scrolls I could achieve almost immortality. The rings prevented me from dying easily, which allowed me to fill the chalice and the chalice regenerated my health and if I should take enough damage, by using my other ring in combination with the spear, I could stab at my enemy’s nearly 6 times as often as they could attack me and gain health back from them.

So, yes, I kept the spear.

Oh, I have. Just the way that one went was so bizarre. The comment is meant more as humor.

Wand of fire works well.

Mixing potions of Paralysis and Toxic holds and poisons them.

A stone of Aggression to make them attack each other.

It’s tough when they don’t come to the door.

If only I had a dollar for every good working app that Google has broken for no reason whatsoever other than the force people to upgrade I’d be a multi-millionaire.

Bland fruit with a green seed. I agree with making meat pies. The Chalice transmuted from Boots or another artifact avoiding risk of death. Brewing random seeds may provide extra health potions. Wand of Growth in the gardens.

potion of paralysis followed by potion of poison on the summoning altars behind the throne, bee’s on the altars before the throne, and once the king’s invulnerability fails a stone of aggression at the king, then let his own minions kill him… this approach has worked very well for any class or challenge… a wand of blast can help this method by pushing minions back into the deadly fog should they get through

I’ve had games where I never found Plate. I have beaten the game in Chain for lack of better armour.
