Why am i doing this? I don't know, I haven't played IVAN in a long time and the 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 walkthrough walkthru 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)=
# go up the stairs
# enter New Attnam
# tell Kenny not to follow you (he eats things and interferes with [[Science Talking | sci-talking]])
# go down and chat to banana growers as they pass moving towards the BG encourager (requires 10 Wis)
# chat to BG encourager when not chatting to banana growers
====Combat====
* avoid non mobile enemies- come back and kil kill 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 dangerous weapon then run (until you are well equipped)* use the trap strategy with you banana peels untill until you are well equipped* it is safe to figt fight hedgehogs once you have gauntlets
* run away if you get hurt.
====Healing====
* go up to NA to [[Science Talking | 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, beartrapbear trap), move so that enemy walks into trap to get a slight to huge advantage advantage. I once faced a kobold with a vermis when unarmed and un armoured unarmoured - I ran a dropped banana peels as he chased me. He slipped on a peel severed his vermis arm panicked and ran away :)* don set bear traps if you are running awayawayscientific
====Chests====
