Walk thru (Slob style) (I'll start small and just make this a walkthru to deliver the scroll) First ==Now the not so super short version ==-explore UT until you find a bunch of mushrooms -kill them and carry their corpses to the UT1 up stairs-eat them and hope for levitation-drinking from fountains works too-go up the stairs-use the look command to locate Attnam-fly towards it-deliver the scroll! ====New Attnam====
important ====Important items ====- any form of teleportation (wand is best, scroll is second, ring third)

{{Spoiler}}
Why am i doing this? I don't know, I haven;'t played IVAN in a long time and the cummunity community has dwindled but I think there are still some of you out there who haven;'t won yet or haven't won with no artificial limbs so this is for you.
This is more a set of strategies that can be applied than an actual walkthru walkthrough due to the randomness of IVAN. My style of playing is "no artificial limbs, no ommel cerumen cheats". Other than that I'll try to structure this somewhat chronologically and somewhat categorically by strategies (i.e. stat building, weapons choice, combat, gods, scroll and wand use).
=Walk thru (Slob style)=
(I'll start small and just make this a walkthru to deliver the scroll)
==First the super short version==
# explore UT until you find a bunch of mushrooms
# kill them and carry their corpses to the UT1 up stairs
# eat them and hope for levitation
# drinking from fountains works too
# go up the stairs
# use the look command to locate Attnam
# fly towards it
# deliver the scroll!
-grab a lantern
- leave town and enter the underwater tunnel
====UT1 (again)====
Exploration
- you are naked! Be very careful especially of hedgehogs
=Assorted tips=====Weapons====
- grab the first weapon you find and equip it provided it is not super crappy
- upgrade weapon as you find better ones, weapon class does ot matter at this point- survival matters
====Armour====
-grab and equip the any armour you
- upgrade armour as you find better stuff - i prefer armour that doesn't slow me down
====Food====
-eat all uncanned food you find as you find it until you have a safe food source
-save canned food for emergencies
-save school food for later
====Inventory management====
-pick up everything you find until you are burdened and then drop a cache of the heaviest/least valuable items
-when possible drop dangerous/valuable items in chests (sure you can't use that steel plate mail or iron scimitar +1 if you are too weak but do you really want a kobold or zombie to use them)
-keep important items with you at all times once you find them
- healing potions
-any rings especially don;t leave rings of polymorph laying around unless you want to fight mammoths or mistress warladys on UT1
- a strongbox or small chest to keep wands in
====Combat====
- avoid non mobile enemies- come back and kil them later
- use the run command as soon as you are 2 squares away from enemy -always use the look command to examine humanoid enemies
- if that zombie/kobold has a dangerours weapon then run (until you are well equipped)
-use the trap strategy with you banana peels untill you are well equipped -it is safe to figt hedgehogs once you have gauntlets- run away if you get hurt.
====Healing ====
go up to NA to scitalk and build CHA while you heal
====Trap strategy====
-when fighting or running from an enemy traps can give you a slight to huge advantage
set trap (banana peel, broken bottle, beartrap)
don set bear traps if you are running away
====Chests====
use chests to store valuables in to keep yourself unburdened
carry a small chest or better yet a strongbox to store breakable burnable valuables in
