Look what they did to my boy gleipneir :(
Knowing how score works means that some enemies are far better to target than others. The best example of this are [[golem|golems]], in which their materials cause them to have ludicrous arm and leg strength and exceedingly high point values. Unfortunately, the ones you find commonly in the dungeons aren't worth too many point, with the exception of the [[Lower Gloomy Caves|golem room]] and the [[acidous blood]] golems found deep in the [[Gloomy Caves|gloomy caves]]. But, you probably are realizing while reading this that there's another way to get golems, the [[Scrolls|scroll of golem creation]]. These scroll have the potential to boost your score by several thousand points for each one utilized. Simply create a golem, betray it, and take it apart. Note that [[valpurium]] golems cannot be created, but many high quality materials such as [[Orichalcum]] and [[Titanite]] serve as alternatives. Remember to switch materials after a while or risk depreciating point values (see above).
If you want the highest possible score, you also unfortunately should kill everything. Of You cannot cheese [[attnam]] with [[sulfuric acid]], the [[enner]], or [[mustard gas]], you have to do it yourself. For the killing, of course named monsters come to mind, but also the innocent but high intelligence creatures and your allies of old. After killing [[Petrus]], those [[dolphin|dolphins]] frolicking around in [[Attnam]] need to go, as do the children, the harem, the librarian. You must do an Anakin. Dungeons will continuously spawn monsters, but the more you kill the less will spawn. Make sure to clear as much of everything as possible, including the [[Crystal Cave]] (UT04 and UT05). If you're decent. kill [[Merka]] and his guards. If you are strong, clear the first floor of the black market. If you are busted, try to kill [[One-eyed Sam]].
'''Other factors to consider'''.
Here are some other possibilities you might consider if you truly want to maximize your score. These all have advantages and risks, so use whatever might benefit the most
-Angels/Archangels: While strong, they both can offer up a decent amount of points. You get them by praying, and can go down 2 paths; praying to happy gods or praying to unhappy gods. With the former, you have a 3 hour cooldown in game and aren't guaranteed to get one, but can consistently pray to multiple gods for tribute. With the latter, you can constantly pray, but have to be careful about your stats and health of your head (I would recommend praying to [[Nefas]], as when angry she only drops a bottle on your head, which is quite harmless
-When fighting [[Petrus]], he will continuously spawn [[angel|angels]] to help him take you down. If you can afford it, keep him alive to farm as many angels as possible.
-[[Kamikaze Dwarf|Kamikaze dwarves]] have surprisingly good stats, especially the veteran ones. however, upon explosion they provide you no points, since they killed themselves. The classic wand of striking or wand of fireballs doesn't count either. That means you've got to throw stuff or kite them. Also not that after day 30, they have a chance to spawn with permanent [[invisibility]], which after day 50 is guaranteed. The danger level adjusting their stats make them visible for now, but it might be fixed in a future version.
-The celestial whip named [[Gleipnir]] (definitely one of my favorite weapons) is most sadly not a viable weapon for highscores. The damage and flexibility it provides is incredible, but the sulfuric acid pouring off of it won't be considered your killing weapon. You will lose a lot of points this way. As an extension of this, covering your [[mithril]] weapons with sulfuric acid and even just [[poison]] will lose points. Somewhat obscurely, allies with poison killing enemies through poison will not count towards points, so consider not making snakes your allies.
