Have beat Tengu on my best 6 challenges run so far with warrior. Lucky to get the ring of might +1 with good weapons, defensive wands and armour. I haven’t really succeeded with berserker before but I think this is a good build for it… is it worth going this route? Planning to get upgraded armour and then getting to +5 ring of tenacity as it seems this ring is perfect for berserker runs.
I always go berserker (when you get good weapons, gladiator compos become impossible) and the berserk-saves are sooooo good. So yeah go berserker.
Inventory
Identify and scroll bump that plate asap. Pro tip: to identify it you can just wear it, as the warrior can identify on wear if you have chosen the identify armor perk, and I don’t know why you wouldn’t have. For the berserker or gladiator think… I dunno, I just always choose gladiator because big damage, but whatever.
The risk with just throwing armor on to identify it is it may be cursed. Only do that if you have a scroll of remove curse, otherwise you could get stuck with uber heavy armor on and lose the run.
Duh
Dammit. only got myself to blame for dying against the DM 300. I had like 4 healing potions at the start of the caves, but standing on two traps really messed me up.
I should have screenshotted one trap room it was insane. I stood on a guardian trap, then immediately stood on a trap of confusion, then onto toxic gas. Without a teleport scroll I couldnt leave the room, but more and more enemies kept coming. I never been so screwed by a trap room before!
But even then I had another healing potion but moronically knocked myself off a cliff with my blast wand, which in the end was the difference. I could have also eaten my food to get a little sleep first…
The problem with being addicted to this game is that I want to play it even when really tired and making awful decisions! The lesson is, when making bad decisions, stop playing and come back later…
