Placing a trap pisses off the townsfolk, I believe.
Munching down giant mushroom corpses is also a much more interesting way to attempt to get levitation to skip Jenny - albeit a huge gamble, if the levitation runs out too soon or when you're on the wrong continent

Can't beat the ability to just float over those mines too.

Also, I haven't really taken the time to test it, but winning underhandedly against Huang Ming Pong is entirely possible, correct? I think a while ago I had the idea to fill the arena with bear traps, mines, or acid by sneaking in whilst invisible.

iirc trying to flip-flop between gods just results in them ALL getting angry. I think it's best to stick with what you're currently worshipping, or those close to its alignment (Those L+/N- etc values)

Wands. LOTS of wands, especially wands of striking and wands of haste for yourself. If you've only been so far as UT3 your chances of beating him are pretty low I'd wager, even with an arcanite plate.
Maybe you could practice more with your chosen weapon on the earlier levels first, or even just leave him alone, run away and come back to deal with him later?

Oh yes, and hostile clones/mirrors of yourself. Gotta be careful where you fire those wands.
The purchasable slave in Attnam can get pretty damn deadly too, on account of him using the same code as the player.

The one thing I disliked about LIVAN was that there were "skeleton of a ____" (similar to how zombies work) which seemed to be a bit out of line with the current danger level. Skeleton of a guard on UT2? Yeah, pretty scrappy.

My only wish was that its explosions didn't affect you and became more powerful with enchantments, similar to Legifer's prayer explosions and their power as compared to his favor.

Sadly, I always find Turox in UT and end up killing myself because I'm stupid.

I've gotten right up to Elpuri multiple times by dual wielding daggers and hardening/enchanting them whenever possible.
Then again, my playstyle is more focused on underhanded tactics and item and wand abuse than it is on actually fighting things fair and square.

Vermis is fun if you have telecontrol, and has saved my ass quite a lot.

All you people and your Mjolaks, and here's me who always ends up using dull iron daggers. Or Vermis, which is one of my favourites.

I hate it when necromancers or mystic dark frogs find themselves inside those secret rooms with no doors. Irritates me to no end, especially when I have no method of either detecting them or getting to them.
