YAFAP 13 years in the making. (Long, spoily)
Rami Lehti
Many Thanks to all of r.g.r.n for your assistance.
This is my first ascension. I've been playing nethack on and off for about
13 years. Ascending in Nethack was on my list of things to do before dying.
The ascension took quite a long time because I have so little free time
between work and my family. Elemental planes alone took the whole
weekend. Got some wishes relatively early on in the game.
Because of eating tengu corpses for Teleport Control I suffered
from teleportitis most of the game. =oTC helped a lot. Never got that
intrinsic from a tengu.
I got many artifacts by sacrificing (at least 6). Struggled on the elemental
plane of Air. But survived in the end. In the end-game I never used the
3 !oFull Healing or the 4 "oLS I had stashes in my BoH. One !oFH exploded
and gave me few more max HP on Plane of Fire.
Here's how it went.
Got a wish from a throne and got a GDSM.
Also found a wand of wishing with 1 charge (speed boots)
Later on I wished for scrolls of charging and magic markers.
Many magic marker. Never found one in the entire game.
Not even when I tried to polypile for it.
Ate a quantum mechanic by accident and was slowed down. This didn't
really bother me because I had speed boots. Many turns later I got my
speed back.
Didn't break sokoban rules. But couldn't finish Sokoban by using only
hjkl. (My personal quest. See my earlier YANI post about Envoy of Sokoban)
The quest was easy with Mjöllnir and long sword in #twoweapon config.
Lord Surtur kept running upstairs but could not escape my wrath.
Cleared fort Ludios easily. I was careful with Croesus. In the end he
was quite easy.
Cleared castle easily. I used a /oStriking to open the drawbridge and
/oCold to bridge the moat. I use this tactic because later on I can use /oFire
to drown some monsters. Or let red nagas do that for me.
Found silver dragon scales in the huge piles of loot so I decided to
ditch the GDSM for SDSM + [oMR combo because I really wanted to wear "oLS.
Which I did not have then. Instead I put on "oMagicalBreathing.
Genocided h the first chance I got. Then later L
Before attacking Gehennom I made sure I had Magic Resistance, Magic
cancellation, silver saber.
Asmodeus was easy. So was Juiblex.
Juiblex took all of 4 turns. apply blessed unicorn horn. Whack Whack Whack.
Baalzebub was easy.
Vlad was too easy. Whack Whack.
Almost YASDed in Vlad's tower though. I had gotten disintegration resistance
in the tower. Second level below the top. There was a nurse in Vlad's chamber.
So I disrobed.
Then all the monsters started to gather. A mastodon, a stone troll, purple worm,
black dragon, band of mordor orc.
The nurse got vaporized by a disintegration beam. I got hit but didn't vaporize.
I was wearing "oLS at the time though. Which I had gotten moments earlier from
a chest on the level below. Nethack lesson #234789: never dance with a
nurse in small places.
Orcus was easy.
Found another BoH in its town shop. Is there always a BoH in Orcus town?
Later on ate a wraith corpse which rendered me unconscious. Then a nalfesnee
came and ported in Yeenoghu and another nalfesnee. It was unnerving to watch
them triple team me while being unconscious for what seemed like an eternity.
Yeenoghu gave me little trouble after I regained consciousness.
Then again almost YASDed when jumping into water on Medusa level without "oMB
instead I was wearing "oLS. I was fetching some holy water.
Nethack lesson #125: Don't jump into water if you can't swim.
Prepared for ansencion run by placing food (k-rations & lembas wafers) and
teleportation scrolls on every downstep in the dungeon and 2 rations and 1
teleport scroll in Gehennom.
The food was not needed because I had =oSD.
Wizard was easy the first time. 1 zap and no more wizard.
#invoked Orb of Fate to go straight to VS.
Messed up the invocation once. Attached the candles but didn't light them the
first time.
High priest of Moloch was easy. Rodney made his second appearance in the
sanctum. Couple of zaps from my trusty /oD and the he was no more (again).
Then ran upstairs as fast as possible. Didn't touch most of the food.
Used the teleports though. Got sent back a few times.
Used the scroll of identify on level 1 to make sure I had the real amulet.
I did.
Plane of Earth was easy. Rodney took 1 zap this time. Death ray kept bouncing
between me and the wall 2-3 times. That was fun to watch. Rodney never had
a chance. Used a crystal ball to find the portal.
Made a mistake of stepping next to the portal to wait for an Archon
to come next to me to be fodder for my blessed scroll of taming.
No such luck. Archon stepped on the portal. Without thinking properly I
put on my levitation boots and went after him.
(I had both of my daughters on my lap wanting to play GCompris
[http://www.ofset.org/gcompris])
Nethack lesson #31789898: Don't play nethack with children on your lap.
I realized this lesson on the Plane of Air with 110 HP gone in a flash.
Plane of Air was really hard. The Archon was there waiting. I was burdened in
the beginning. Used the crystal ball again and then threw it. Big mistake.
I lost control for a while and during that time the Archon and a yellow demon
pounded me. A malignant aura turned my scroll of taming useless. I wanted
to save my holy water if I really needed it later on. I didn't.
Steam vortices kept me alive and in full health.
Archon kept getting more monsters on the scene. Also
the amulet helped a little. Then Rodney made an appearance.
When the monster count got to about 20 I decided to use =oC.
Thus breaking my conflictless conduct.
Even though the steam vortices would soon die. They had been keeping me alive
and mildly hot for a long while. The black dragons took care of most of the
bunch. Then I could move more freely. Air Elementals were still a drag.
When you are pummeled by debris you are pummeled by a lot of debris.
In one turn I lost over 100HP to one them. I was pummeled by debris at least
three times in one turn. I used a /oTeleport a couple of times on them.
Plane of Fire was again relatively easy. Rodney appeared again. Again
zappity whack zap later he was dead. This time he managed to steal the
Amulet.
Plane of Water was easy with "oMB. Used another window help locate the portal
after a successful application of the Orb of Fate.
Astral Plane was easy. I handled Famine and Death with an expensive camera.
Never saw Pestilence face to face.
Second altar was the charm. I could have easily cleared the third but decided
not to risk my first ascension.
Here are the boring details.

Sounds like you nurse danced without killing all the monsters first?
Scary. Wearing an amulet is wearing something though so in a sense
nurse dancing should fail (I'm thinking along some nasty lines like
certain monsters + no magic resistance here).

One scroll per stairs? That's paranoid. And in case you were walking to
the next stairs... did you take measures a monster wouldn't pick up the
teleport? Maybe I just understood you wrong. A normal bag and lots of
scrolls would well do.

Nice. That's so easy I've never thought of it (useful during certain
conducts).

The level was cleared first. The dancing took such a long time that
monsters got generated. Only got 1-2 HP from it anyway.

No I didn't. But luckily most of the scrolls were there.
And since time does not pass on levels you are not on. (Not really
anyway) It is relatively safe to leave on the stairs leading down.

Ah, I'm paranoid and dance with a blindfold to see what gets generated.
makes it easier to find the nurse again too.

(and the nurse(s)) into a room. Make that a room on a no-teleport level
(read: the room with the upstairs in Soko2) and you can fix the "."-key
down and go make some coffee.

I've had monsters generated in line of sight...not just line of sight, but
right next to me. And no, they were not hiding under something or invisible
or walked from a darkened corridor.

When creating a monster, NetHack tries to generate it out-of-sight, but if
it fails, it may very well be generated in your line of sight. Otherwise,
some of the Big Rooms would not allow monster generation at all.

This might also happen if NetHack creates a horde of monsters; the first
one is generated in an invisible spot, the other monsters are generated
around it without a check for visibility.

generated in the Soko room; never happened to me. But it's good to know
it could happen (I should have thought of the bigroom myself, of
course).BOFH Excuse #6:
