[Q 1.0.4] YAWP, high elf ranger

Very good game,

I was a bit worried about the lack of artefacts ( first one at clevel
25 ), but the quality of that weapon was awesome, so that went ok.

Lurtz was no problem, I had a really good bow and nice set of arrows
and I had a high clevel. He dropped the robe of Radagast which gives
protection to disenchantment. All I need was to find 2 rings of speed
and more healing potions.

| 1611054| 11 | 30 | Killed Lurtz the Uruk-Hai Captain
| 1611513| 11 | 30 | Found The Cloak of Thingol
| 1611833| 11 | 30 | Found The Lochaber Axe 'Mundwine'
| 1611853| 11 | 30 | Found The Robe of Radagast
| 1611983| 11 | 30 | Found The Set of Cesti of Fingolfin
| 1612113| 11 | 30 | Found The Set of Gauntlets 'Paurhach'
| 1951549| 11 | 30 | Killed Maedhros, Son of Feanor
| 1956350| 11 | 30 | Killed Lorgan, Chief of the Easterlings
| 1967926| 11 | 31 | Killed Ulfang the Black
| 1986240| 11 | 31 | Killed Lokkak, the Ogre Chieftain
| 1990997| 11 | 31 | Killed Khim, Son of Mim
| 1998632| 11 | 31 | Killed Angamaite of Umbar
| 2007975| 11 | 31 | Destroyed Waldern, King of Water
| 2011833| 11 | 31 | Found The Long Sword 'Elvagil'
| 4894710| 12 | 33 | Killed Saruman of Many Colours

This took me 70% of my game.


Had to scum _a lot_ to get all my money spent on healing potions and I
gave up after while. I am definitely not going to 1.0.5 where Black
Market has even weaker items

Fun game, thanks Antoine !

Yeah but you get speed from dex, thus you don't need any RoS or Bos for the
final fight, and 3-4 !healing should be enough with other support
scrolls and potions for resists + melee, ref :

Ironman, autoscum and small levels, only one small vault seen though. I
scummed Dl11 until I ran low on food/light, it was a one screen level.
I spent initial gold on food and torches for this reason.

He is a lot harder to beat now though as his summons are insanely strong and
he does more nasty things when he hits you. He would be very difficult with
a low hp mage now as the way I did it before would be impossible
(destruction+phase door heal).

Glad you enjoyed it.

[laughs] You found the Hammer of Throt! First dump with it, I think.
Throt was a D&D character in a campaign I once ran, who has been
immortalised in this fashion.

Nice dump - first ironman victory I've seen?

Good luck on throwing the great axe though!

Yeeeesss... it would be difficult with a mage. Will be interested to
see if anyone manages. Next comp maybe.

Which are the most problematic summons?

It took about a dozen tries, I just posted one of the closer ones who got
very close to Lurtz. Some of them are quite short like go down stairs, land
on DL3, take a step, go through a trap door and end up on DL5 at Cl, turn a
corner hit a orc unique and die.

Because the game is so short, trap doors are extreme as are double stairs.
Imagine in vanilla going through a trap door and ending up 10 levels deeper.
Do this twice and life gets really interesting, for a brief period anyway.

I am running one now, the problem is that some of his summons are possible
insta kills and with no way to get them off the level it might be necessary
to retreat and reset the fight, thus it could be a long process.

High level dogs, D's that you don't have resists for, and uniques, lots of
which can be just as hard or harder such as the Balrog of Moria.
