Chaostrom, what?! You never got it there? Duh...

Thanks guys I think I'll bomb him with the wands & banana.

Is he more dangerous at a distance or close combat? Also, any danger of poly?

Of course I'm not going in yet, write me some more.

Aw come on, the gear from a tamed elite guard is enough to keep You alive enough long to teleport.

One of the biggest awesomities EVAR - he jumped in wizard mode, and changed the material of his shield into acid : someone punches - someone gets wet from the acid...

Thanks guys, I'll stick to the sword. But improve the material first. What's the best choice for someone having 20 Int?

Greetings fellow IVANers and hopefuly people who beat Elpuri.

As far as I recall, winners usually had their strength in : artificial limbs, wands of striking, awesome equipment, beacuse of scumming on ommel cerumen. And I want a no-cerumen, no-artificial-limbs win.

Did anyone win with the help of his team?

I just cleared NEARLY EVERYTHING down to GC8. Even the zombie level. I actually have to look for anything to kill, and still it's usually a golem.

I have an elite guard (brag : also had a 600 hp one but he exploded :/ ), a mistress torturing chief, Ivan and Vladimir. I plan to, of course, rush and kill Elpuri, with the team taking care of the froggies. Is it possible?

1. As I asked before - is it possible (and a good idea)?
2. My equipment sucks bad. I post links to my equipment and the chest where I keep my scrolls - how can I make my equipment outwardly pimped having so few scrolls?

3. Do octiron golems kick ass? I have 2 beartraps and a shield ( butwould rather give it to the guard... Amidoinitrite?) to make them.
4. How about I pray until I get an angel of Loricatus and bring it in?
5. Is giving two chameleon whips to a mistress a good thing or not?
6. Maxing out END before the fight - do it or don't?
7. Throwing all those wands of fireballs through the corridor and then detonating them... good idea or bad idea?
8. Any further tips on Elpuri?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I also have a dilemma

Currently I have : Vermis +4 and flaming meteoric steel sword +3. It gives me satisfactory damage & accuracy.

But I just found a whip of thievery -> I wanted one from the beginning, but now it's late game (cleared everything down to GC8 )...

I thought that the whip would be good to beat up the named baddies (they have weps to steal, if it's possible), does it pay to switch the sword to the whip, now, when there are hardly any monsters before Elpuri?

Bear traps can take Your leg with them while attempting to escape. Broken bottles for bare feet (& no cloak) also work.

Na'ah... MM's are awesome... I always try to leave a level full of them so I can train my dex (by hitting them with scrolls) - with polycontrol and telecontrol they're pretty harmless.

But I do understand that the world is not yet ready for such revelations and DexterityImprovementPlans(TM)...

Anyway I'd never think that their spawning is affected by the corpses - that's a good note.
