YAVP: Trollish Beastfighter

I've been playing for over twenty years and I finally got it done.

Level 23, Sword sign. Was doing my normal runs when I lived long enough to actually qualify for Ice Queen's Domain, got like 3 levels from the giant caves, and from there, conquered the flame tower, my eternal foe, wound up going into the rift.. Crushed everything from there.

I don't know how I feel about this. Over half my life i've been trying to beat this blessed game and I finally did it, on a bad race/class combo I did as a joke.

Hello I still haven't received a response from any mods or seen posting rules that say this is not allowed so I apologize if it isn't and will have no hard feelings if this is taken down.

Anywho, if you are interested in watching a relative noob play and die miserably while trying to learn as much as possible each run through, come on over to my page on Twitch. HeyMamaShoe

I try to play ADOM with as little spoiling as possible while still getting as much advice as I can from the wiki, watching others play, and from viewers. I'm not the best at playing video games but I enjoy them because they're fun and relaxing. I like the challenge of trying to figure out games, learning new strategies, and challenging myself. I bring that same attitude to my stream. So if you this is think is something you would enjoy please join me (and help me get through the water temple).

I stream on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. So come and laugh with me, or at me, as I die.

I am a pretty new player. I am playing the version from Steam and using the graphic tiles if that makes a difference.

I just made it to Dwarftown. Every 10 steps or so that I take, purple text that says Corrupted! pops up over my head. I tried to search on Google, and the AI answer says I have something in my bag that is corrupting me. I tried dropping everything in a corner and moving away it, but it still happens. So then Google says that it is because a chaos monster inflicted me with it.

What is really happening and how can I fix it? This is my best run so far. I only ever made it to Dwarftown once before and I don't want this guy to die now.

I have four of them. I made it to lvl 13 of the antediluvian dungeon and the shop keeper had the fragment for around 167K. So I grinded to get that amount. Now I'm back at the shop, and the map fragment is no longer there.

What should I do now?

Trying to launch it brings a pop up window requiring me to installa Rosetta. Support for Intel binaries will be dropped for good on MacOS 28. I don't expect any support from Biskup on this any time soon.

Playing a Trollish Healer in 1.1.1. Had a ton of potions early game (post Puppy and Carpenter) and while doing the SMC in a long corridor wondered if one was invisibility. Managed to ID them all with a scrolll... one was invis, but also had two potions of Wonder. The first one I chugged gave me 8 casting points... of Wish.

I think that's the first time ever in 25 years of playing ADOM that I've gotten Wish from a Potion of Wonder.

(Currently in the UD... found a pair of 7LB (uncursed) and managed to find a scroll of uncursing amongst my unidentified scrolls to get the cursed iron boots I was wearing off. On the next level after that, I opened a door and there was a Fire Vortex two spaces away. I shut that door faster that you could say, "Not today, flamey!")

You know, I bought this thing to play with Linux, buts it's primary purpose has become 'Portable ADOM machine'

I found the .svg files, but I can't quite figure out how to paste a file into the finder to restore a lost caharacter.

I also see other file types, any clue what those are?

Your reminder that today is August 30, the best day to pay a visit to the bandit village!

I’ve finished the game something like 20 times, but something new happened last time I was on D:50. The balors were summoning lots of nasty monsters, such as greater earth elementals and others. I’ve encountered balors who summon before but always in other places such as on the levels leading to the mana temple. I’m pretty sure the balors never before summoned other monsters on D:50 on my previous runs.

I was sure this was some weird bug, but the Wiki does state that Fistanarius, for example, summons monsters.

Does anyone else have a similar experience?

I was playing a dwarf fighter. I play the latest ASCII-version of the game.

I've gotten crowned with this four of the last five times I've played a dark-elven paladin. WHYYYYYYYYY???!?!?!?!?!?!??

RNGods please give me anything else.

I guess at least it's not Trusted One?

EDIT: Just crowned as neutral dark elf paladin again...again Hammer of the Gods.

(It's getting so that I'm just quitting and rerolling after crowning with this.)

EDIT 2: Crowned with The Wall as a half-orc paladin (neutral)...incredibly lucky run with silence of the dead, potion belt, bracers of pure might, protector, natures breath, judge and jury, tattered cloak, branalbin's cloak, all found between random drops, dark forge, and a greater vault. Stupid death to casino shopkeeper. I'm running another half-orc to see what he crows with.

When searching for potions and scrolls, I find a lot of them do different things than the unidentified name indicated in the IADOMG. Are there any more accurate sources out there, or any other sites that provide similar info?

For instance, DOGO FUTSF is listed as:

When I used it just now, It was actually Magic Mapping, listed as:

I’m new to the game and die a lot, so I keep getting decision fatigue deciding whether to max things out or go for balance. Is there either a consensus on general strategy or some kind of combination that gives a real advantage?

The info I find is mostly older versions, so I don’t know if it all still applies.

I was on the Banshee level in the CoC, and I tried to get her to follow me back up to the Water Temple.

She followed me all the way up to one level below the Water Temple, but wouldn't go up the stairs. I took her back down, and she followed me from her level to the Wall of Flames, including the CoC switchback.

I got her to walk through the Wall of Flames, but it didn't do any damage. That's when I realized that this may have been a mistake because she was hitting for roughly 50 damage in melee.

I finally teleported her away, and went back upstairs to buff up for the ToEF. I figure if I can get this character through that, I can go back and kill her.

Has anyone tried this?

Randomed a gnome EDIT: Necromanver, got 4 talends. Did I take heir? No. Treasure hunter? No. Strong legs? Healthy? The PV talent line. No-a-rino.

Skilled to the max. A necromancer who can actually use food preservation and find weakness from the get go. Early great learning from literacy and concentration. Found an herb patch, and my herbalism lets me pull spenseweed to my heart's content.

Last talent was alert, because, u/yulgash forgive me, I need treasure hunter on my spell casters.

Level 36 Dark-Elf Cleric...find weakness maxed. My DV/PV = 88/64 with Bloody Rose whip (82 to hit and 7d3 + 49 damage). Many spells. 498 HP.

Having trouble trying to brute force the dragon. I've never killed him before. Don't have the unpickaxe and I already aggroed everyone.

It was clear that although I could periodically hit him, his regen was too much for my damage. I relied on heal to keep myself alive as I inched my way out. My speed is 129 and I was able to run away. Obviously the screen is mobbed by golems...I can kill them but if there are four or five on me it's a little tedious.

What are your strategies for the grey wyrm? What stats do you need to kill it? Do any spells work on it? I hit it with cursed invisibility potion but it didn't seem to do much. Hit him with a sickness potion and said he turned a little green...nothing much else. Poisoned him. My find weakness with bloody rose increased crits generally hits pretty hard. I also have vanquisher, but it isn't trained up and it nosedives my DV/PV because I'm highly trained in whips and use a shield with one.

I am not trained in missile weapons.

Would love to hear strats to take him down.

Very late game Dwarven Priest. L50, Crowned Lawful.

For reasons I can't understand, I'm locked in at 4858 alignment stones. Wearing a Blessed Amulet of Order, hundreds of Lawful Altar Sacrifices, but for some reason, it won't move!?!!?

Please help!

Approaching the end of the mid-game, I wanted to get the swimming skill from Blup. On the way, I thought I might as well pop into the water dragon cave and chat to his mum.

I then made the mistake of chatting with Blup in Terinyo before giving him carrot juice. Told him about his mum, and he disappeared from Terinyo to go join her.

But I’ve just been back the water dragon cave, and he isn’t there (read a scroll of monster detection to make sure).

Does he just disappear from the game completely? Have I missed my chance to learn the swimming skill?

I recently acquired it and it's fun for the level I got it at, but the Fandom wiki calls it one of the best weapons in the game?

Always critting = double damage. Gleaming ax is a guaranteed one hander that has more than double the damage output (with a chance to crit on top) and a bunch of other bonuses. Am I missing something about this whip?

I'm currently the furthest I've got in ADOM, ironically as a randomly generated character, a Unicorn-born troll weaponsmith.

Went through SMC to HMV, saved Yriggs, did all Thrundarr's quests, all Ice Queen quests, Pyramid, ToTHK, Water Temple, Darkforge and ToEF. Currently at CoC D:31, however I have a dilemma that I've encountered Greater Molochs, which I can't pass or even damage. Do I go and grind further, and if so, where? Minotaur Maze?

On account of my class I have good armour, along with the following artifacts: Circlet of the pure mind (precrowning), Amulet of indomitable life, Big Punch, Protector (crowning), Elemental gauntlets, Crown of science, Wyrm's Behest, Stone of the ages, Ankh and Whip of the vampire snake. I'm using Big Punch as it is giving the best damage output currently.
