Hey all, Char info at the bottom of the post.(I cleaned it up a lot,
hope its easier to read now.)

Ive been trying to kill him with a wand of fireballs (wi:38)that i've
been recharging, but it just isnt doing enough damage(ive been losing
stats at a slow rate, so i need to kill quickly). I have a wand of
wishing with 5 charges, so essentially i can use any non artifact item
that you guys can think of.

Lost my two bows of accuracy to the ToEF, sad day.

P.S. please dont say to leave him alone, clearing a Greater Undead
Vault will be the only remarkable event in this game and id rather die
trying than win without doing it.




I hope google dosent mess this map up

101 to hit 2d8+47 to damage on beserk
65 to hit 2d8+34 on normal
not too bad

"Where is tactics?"
Tactics is at least one, most likely 2-3 wishes away. The fist wish is
for a Shambling mound, the second and third are probably potions of
visibility. Unless there is an easier way to become visible that I
don't know about. Even with tactics I would still have to train it and
gaining levels with this guy is a huge pain.

"Two sources of death ray resistance?"
I am thinking it is along the same lines as fire resistance. When I
was fighting the Chaos Wyrm he almost killed me a couple of times with
his energy beam. People say that beam is a death ray, so I figured I
would put on a death ray necklace to fight the Emperor Lich. All i can
say is that I havent been injured more than a few points the whole time
ive been in the vault (despite what google shows im in a direct line
with the Emp Lich).
On that note, I haven't been paralyzed/confused at all so until I have
a reason to put one on I won't be wearing the amulet of free action.


"Wish time. A girdle of giant strength will be better for your guy,
since it will let him carry lots AND boost his damage in melee."

Why didn't I think of that, I will do that as soon as I start playing
this guy again.



All this talk of wishes makes me think, what damage does the Fire Orb
do when used? I have plenty of wishes to remove corruption.


Maybe

"OK, way number 1: Wish yourself up some long bows (of accuracy)
and some undead slaying ammo. Bless it. Kill the thing next to you
and lead the emperor lich into the corridor, then RUN! Get some
distance between you, and pepper it with undead slaying ammo..."

Maybe if the Fire Orb doesn't work out

My first suggestion would have been spellbooks of acid ball to take
down an emperor lich, but I see you are playing a barbarian.

My-oh-my! This looks like a major problem. OK, so you are on coward atm,
but 2d8+20 damage is just not enough for being on D26. You are playing a
Barbarian! The effectiveness of your character depends almost totally on
being able to deal big damage in melee (and also to some extent missiles).

I think spears were a poor choice of weapon. Sure, they give great DV
bonus, and for that reason they are very good for casters along with a
shield, but for a barbarian they just do not deal enough damage, short
of a nice 2H one like the TotRR. Unless you are going for an ultra end
ofc, but you appear to be already crowned lawful, so I guess not unless
you have the chaos artifacts stashed somewhere.

Two sources of death ray resistance? Does this actually help at all,
anyone know? And even if it does, get that amulet off RIGHT NOW and
get an amulet of free action on instead. You currently have no way
to resist paralyzation that I can see, and higher lichs are capable
of causing it. If you need more death ray resistance, I spotted some
bracers of resistance in your stuff.

Wish time. A girdle of giant strength will be better for your guy,

Anyway, enough commenting on the general problems On to how to
kill that lich.

As a barbarian, we can pretty much forget about spells. Wands are
not powerful enough, so that leaves melee and missiles. Trying
melee against an emperor lich is a good way to get all your stats
to 1 in no time flat, so missiles look like your only option.

The way I see it, there are two ways you can go about this. The
first is riskier but faster, the second is more likely to succeed,
but will take a little preparation.

OK, way number 1: Wish yourself up some long bows (of accuracy)
and some undead slaying ammo. Bless it. Kill the thing next to you
and lead the emperor lich into the corridor, then RUN! Get some
distance between you, and pepper it with undead slaying ammo. When
it summons things that get in the way of shooting at it, you may
want to kill them by other means (melee, regular missiles, wands)
rather than use your precious undead slaying ammo. Whenever there
is nothing next to you, be on Beserk for firing your missiles.

Way number 2, a slight variation on the first. Teleport the hell
out of there, direct to the stair so it won't move much. Go and
get tactics, and wish yourself up Archery. Get some decent bows,
train your bow skill a little more, and also try to get Archery
to 100. Rings of slaying could also be helpful. Once you are more
prepared, with a formidable undead slaying missile attack, then
go back and teleport back in, and proceed like with method 1.

HTH!

Not great, though. Wait till you get to the Earth Temple; that won't
even scratch anything. If you've got any (hill) orcish vaults or tension
rooms lying around, you should definitely scum for a good orcish spear
(namely, "of devastation" or, failing that, "of penetration"). And no,
you can't wish for ego weapons, unfortunately.

The only other way is pool drinking, unfortunately. If you happen to
have ready means to reverse any negative effects, you may want to try it.

Alternatively, you could wish for Tactics directly. That'll save you a
couple of wishes for later. Wishing for a shambling mound or potions of
visibility should be last-ditch.

No no no. That's the perfect way to get yourself killed. Put on the
amulet of free action. Believe me, lesser opponents have taken down my
advanced PCs using paralyzation. After all, the collective wisdom of
r.g.r.a. should be a good enough reason.

I would imagine it would give about 2-3 corruptions (if it's anything
like the Mana Orb, at least). I wouldn't touch it. Even if it does cause
more damage than a standard fireball, it'll still take several uses to
defeat an emperor lich.

You really should stick with Stephen's advice and use undead slaying
arrows. If you happen to have any humanoid slayers or the generic "of
slaying" arrows, you can use those as well, though undead slayers are
the best bet.

No, that beam isn't a death ray. Besides, I doubt that multiple source
of death ray resistance stack. None of the intrinsics are known to
stack; the only exception is fire resistance for the purposes of ToEF
background heat. (For any other purpose, such as monsters breathing
fire, fire resistance has been reported not to stack, either.)

Seconded. Facing a paralyzing monster without paralyzation resistance
even though it is available is silly.

If I'm not mistaken, you get Tactics for giving the Golden Gladius to
the one barbarian guy in the bar at Dwarftown... this would save you
from having to use a wish or pool.

The problem, however, is that jhornaday has intrinsic invisibility. I
guess this fact got lost in the mix since it was never mentioned
explicitly in the thread. Two or three wishes would have to be used just
to get the gladius: one for a shambling mound to satisfy the elder's
first (or second) quest, and one or two more for potions of visibility
in order to fight 20 times in the Arena (Dak doesn't let you in if
you're invisible). In a situation like that, you can either use the
wishes like that, hunt for the shambling mound and go on a pool drinking
binge hoping for the best, or just wish for Tactics directly.

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone can suggest how to deal with a dwarven barbarian on
DL26.

He is the '@' two spaces above me.

Annoyingly, he keeps zapping me with fireballs and running away. Each
one does not do much damage, but he never seems to run out of them.
Also, I am surrounded by other 'L's and do not have room to manoeuvre.

What do you recommend to take him out. I thought I might paralyse him,
but what are the chances that he would not have paralysation resistance
at this depth. Have considered meleeing him but he's probably much too
tough.

Any suggestions appreciated,

Emperor Znurg the Undying ("L")

Neck : uncursed amulet of free action

Missile weapon: uncursed short bow of accuracy (+8, +0)

Is everybody happy now?
I even wished for tactics.
I will keep spears for now though, no sense in using a weapon with no
skill when ill just use undead slaying arrows anyway.

Do you have a wand of trap/web? He'll probably try to use a hit and run
tactic, so just set up some traps on the path he is must likely to flee
to. But wait untill he leaves the level, so he doesn't see you.
You could also try to wish for a female barbarian, he will find her most
likely very attractive and they will head off to a quiet place ...

God luck (are you going for the Avatar Of Order Ending?)

It's not about whether or not we're happy. It's about whether you want
to avoid getting your ass served up on a silver platter. After all, you
asked the initial question.

I feel like having Szechuan squid all of a sudden.

But of course. It's your prerogative.

Don't worry about this: you do have the ability to heal yourself
completely.

I would suggest just keeping on summoning help - if you can keep him boxed
in and busy you can wait him out: you are after all unageing and he, as a
dwarf, can only live for half a millenia or so. Time is on your side.

Suggestion 1: Wish for maces of disruption and use the best one (they
have undead slaying property)
Suggestion 2: Leave it be and return later, lvl 50 should not be too
late
Suggestion 3: Use amulet of free action. They grant death ray
resistance among other things
Suggestion 4: Might work. Wish for whips of slaughtering and use them.
They have +Critical property
Suggestion 5: Might work. Wish for phase daggers and use them. They
bypass PV like claw bugs
Suggestion 5: Okay, I dont know if it work but I read somewhere that
you can kill most monster by summonning the banshee.

All of the above are just suggestions. Dont blame me for anything.

He could, but he has high level skill in polearms, and none in maces.
Plus emperor lichs are VERY, VERY nasty stat drainers, getting into
melee range is a bad idea.

A good idea.

> Suggestion 3: Use amulet of free action. They grant death ray

No, they do not. Amulets of free action grant resistance to being
paralyzed, and nothing else.

> Suggestion 4: Might work. Wish for whips of slaughtering and use them.

True, they do. But see #1. No skill, and melee range is bad.

No point. Emperor Lichs are not famed for having massive PV.

> Suggestion 5: Okay, I dont know if it work but I read somewhere that

True, you can. Not sure if she can kill undead though, and probably
not high end greater undead like this even if she can.

<a few interesting suggestions snipped>

Just a weird idea:
I don't have much experience with Emperor Liches(en?), but has anyone tried
lobbing potions of holy water/healing at them? How good is the effect?

IIRC, she can't kill anything that can resist bolts.

Yeah i tried it a couple of times, all i can say is I used 3-4 potions
and the lich was still standing.

One more suggestion (If you are not yet finished with it or
alternatively, was finished by it). Try throwing potions of exchange,
sickness, confusion at him (if there are any by now.)

First of all, don't listen to the spear haters. You made the right
choice and you have an excellent weapon! Barbarians are awesome with
spears. They have great defence and do adequate damage. For the rare
time when you must do massive damage, there's always the tremendous
blow option. I once killed the ACW in one hit with my drakeling spear
barb with wyrmlance (tremendous)!

For ELs, it's best just to run. Seriously. They are not worth your time
unless you are absolutely great with bows or have acid ball at a very,
very high level. If you must try to kill him, get him weakened up some
and try to finish him off with a tremendous blow (he WILL heal back up
unless you kill him very quickly). I would recommend coming back later.
It's best to fight an out of depth monster with an out of depth level.
