I have played Ivan already for sometime. It was christmas just after 0.50 had come out, was it now 2004 or 2005? I still play the game some times. Anyway I found these forums recently and thought that I might as well register in here. And thanks for the tip Slob, I first threw acid bottle at the door and then I left kiwis infront of door (kiwis in shop seem to be more fresh than bananas and sumowrestler doesn't seem to care about spoiled food). Acid dissolved Huang Mings another leg. After that I did my usual trick to get overfed. I left banana peels on banana growers way and after one of them died I ate him (It's cruel world. Eat or be eaten.) After this, it was very easy to beat Huang Ming (first time ever, which is pretty sad). So thanks again, although I'm pretty sure my character will suffer just another horrible death. Okay, I come back later. I know that my english may not be the best possible since I don't need it much, but I hope you are able to understand atleast some of this.

Thanks Capristo.
So the belt of levitation made game easier, although it spawned harder enemies. I got only to gloomy gave 5. I found enner beast easily, but got to zap him only one time with striking and then I lost consciousness and died. Only named enemy that I killed was Rondol, so nothing special this time. But, I will definitely use this tactic again.
By the way did anyone else had problems to get in the forums earlier?

Yes we did. Now it's back up... Hope it was just something that won't happen again. We've had our apocalypces...

And tervetuloa.

Kiitos
I should probably post another topic, but could you give me some tips to beat gloomy cave 7. That mystic dark frog gets on my nerves. It always teleports my best equipment away. Got so close today but I hadn't any attack-wands. First it teleported my both flaming swords away and I had no other lightsources or weapons anymore, so I had to teleport away. I tryed to reach it again later, but frog killed me with spell. Also Slob how you have beated the game so many times? You must have Valpurus on your side.

You need ESP (infravision will do) and telecontrol. For ESP best is to eat a floating eye or have several amulets or get it from praying to Infuscor just before entering the level. For Telecontrol the best is to get permacontrol from eating a hoard of blinkdogs, otherwise have several sources (Vermis/rings) so that the frog doesn't teleport them all away. Then just go to GC and read a detect material scroll for frog flesh to find out where he is then teleport to him and kill him or tame him. Use dulcis/lyre of charm - a taming scroll is often too slow and he will teleport away. Dark frogs and mages make good pets because they haste you and make you invisible, plus they give good Int/wis boosts from scitalking. Use this same techinique to kill the mystic dark frog on elpuri's level. It is a hell of alot easier to kill Elpuri when you don;t have the mystic dark frog fucking you up.

I don't usually use the detect material scroll to find the frog but i usually have well over 30 Int by the time i hit GC7 so he is easy to spot with ESP.

Thanks, this must be the warmest welcome I have ever gotten in any forum.
I haven't ever thought about taming that frog, but it might actually be easier than killing it. Hmm, I didn't know you can detect enemies with detect material scroll. I always use it finding mines. Does it work with Enner beast and named enemies like Rondol or Guugzamesh too?
I'm usually too greedy and I sell my extra amulets of ESP and rings of infravision. I guess I have to start saving them, although I have never had 30 intelligence in GC7, if I haven't polymorphed to something more intelligent. Vermis is my favorite named weapon, but I didn't know you can get permatelecontrol from blindogs. I seem to have lot to learn yet.

Browse the forums mate, you'll learn many things... There are many secrets hidden there, even more were lost on the apocalypce of the previous Cathedral, and no-one really knows how many secrets there are buried on the official forums, under all the spam... Some have gone to look, a few have returned.
