YAAP Healer - multiple amulet retrieval trips
Mark Audet
YASDed often with a cockatrice accident. I almost didn't finish this
game.
I had to dive down Gehennom 3 or 4 times to regain the true amulet.
In the Sanctum, I thought I had it, but I did not check until the
Castle!!!
I thought it was weird that I did not encounter the mysterious
force!!
The Rodney double troubled me several times and kept stealing the
amulet
and my staff of Aesculapius.
The Astral plane was a cinch, first altar was the correct one.
I had a pet Archon to help. Death went down in 2 whacks of Vorpy
and he never bothered me again.
Message to the Dev team, Gehennom may add a slight increase in
difficulty,
but it is too tedious. My preference would be to change the
labyrinths
to some of the pre-castle levels including special levels like the big
room.
I could also do without the mysterious force. That's it. thanks for
your time.
New strategies for me were:
1) tinning kits and giant corpses to get my strength high.
2) get rid of those pesky semi colons
3) Alternate between Vorpal and Aesculapius
The voice of Hermes thunders: "Congratulations, mortal!"
"In return for thy service, I grant thee the gift of Immortality!"
You ascend to the status of Demigod...
