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.

      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.

    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…
