Hoo-ray for me!
in forum General IVAN Discussion
YAVP! Natural limbs, no Guard taming, I did cheat the library.
I got my character to kill Elpuri, and then stopped playing for like 5 months while i thought about what to do. I realized that my guy was stacked so i decided to go for a high priest ending. I killed Petrus first then dove for Oree. Petrus was surprisingly easy, I laid out 3 octiron bear traps with 13 large back packs, 16 regular backpacks, and a shit-ton of wands of lightning and striking and fireballs. Everything else in town was a cake walk with my +11 angel hair whip of thievery and my +11 neerc.
Once I had Justy I switched out my whip for the sword and dove to GC9 (stopping to kill Merka). Jumped through the portal, scroll of detected granite and teleported though gc 10 and 11. GC12 was a trial, i didn't realize i needed to be searching for gold instead of granite and that gave the mages time to find me and pound me. Got life saved once on GC12 and jumped the portal to Oree.
On Oree I found myself surrounded in the first room by like 30 monsters, elite dark knights and mages, where I got pounded an life saved again. Teleported out, killed Oree twice in rapid succession and jumped through the portal again with the shirt.
Once I was back on GC1 I was surrounded again by nasties that followed me through the portal and quickly had my right arm(and justy) severed off. I teled out of danger and had to make a decision, go for the baddies and get that sword back or win without it. I was our of AOLS's but I thought that winning without the sword was Bitch so i went back and quickly reclaimed it.
Back in attnam I realized (perhaps mistakenly) I need liefger to like me so i had to burn a scroll of charging on a wand of polymorph and poly an alter on UT3 to it became a liefger alter - sacced the bejeesus until we were cool, then went back and sacced on valpy's alter until he thought we were cool and won.
Some notes: I think I found 3 secret rooms, which was cool.
I only stayed lawful long enough to get the arcanite plate from atavus and then went chaotic and never looked back. If you were willing to do the guard taming trick you could avoid lawful alignment altogether in my opinion and stAy with N and C and get a lot more benefit.
3 lyres of charm are very useful, but despite my marathon charming and sci talking i was never able to get my wi above the high 20's.
The wiki article about material hardening for late game is gone.
I found bones piles for late game failures dating back to 2010, which I thought was cool.
I wish I had read up on golem killing padding your score before I sat on the throne and made/killed some golems because i could have broken into the top 10 probably instead of the high teens.
sorry for my spelling/grammer. I'm kind of drunk.
tl;dr killed things, accumulated stats and items. got the big win, the end.

I should have waited and summoned/killed some golems before sitting on the throne. Ill post some pictures tonight. I was life saved twice. GC 10-12 and Oree were NASTY. My final score was still only like 75k despite getting a high priest ending.
Question, if you are standing on a staircase, break a wand of door creation creating a surrounding wall of closed doors - will nearby monsters still follow you down the stairs?

i got through the first to levels of the lower GC, but on the third level was the mage room. I was using my scroll of detect matrial to search for granite for the staircase but i dont see it on the map - does the material change later on?

You killed Petrus before going through the portal?
Yeah i set a pile of like 400 explosive items on top of some octiron beartraps. he didnt stand a chance.
I am not taking on the mage room - i plan on sprinting through the levels using detect material and teleport.
Is the mage room even viable? Ive tried it once or twice in wizmode and it was total chaos.

whats the HP limit for izzy generating? I am about to make my bomb run to oree and want to max my hps (I have a bunch of snot). I am wielding Justy and Neerc, all octiron gear and an AoLS. I currently have 207 Max HP.

anything relating to ivan you're too lazy to create a new topic for
in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
The 30/50 day thing for invisible dwarves is cool. How often would a game get to 30 or 50 days though? I just came back to a guy i had been playing and killed petrus - and its only like day 9 or something, and i spent forever screwing around before i took on the big man.

it did petrus nasty. maybe it was overkill, but i wasnt screwing around.
