Wow, that was quick! Good job.
I just got very lucky! (also I have been playing IVAN for 3 days straight)
How'd you beat the boss?
I was extremely stressed out. When I got to the final level, I had 2 +16 valpurium two handed swords, but I had almost no electricity protection, only an amulet of elemental protection. I thought that there would be something like the mage room from Lower Gloomy Caves, but I survived by teleporting around the map and killing mages one by one. Then killing Xinroch was kinda easy because I had fully upgraded gear made out of end game materials.
Yeah we made it the same score multiplier since it was indeed designed to be hell. I think there might be fewer monsters to stay in TX compared with GC, so that might have a bigger effect on the max score.
Yep, less things to kill. There is no mage room in TX, which is a blessing and a curse at the same time, because those mages are worth a lot of points.
Any suggestions for improvement of that particular dungeon?
I love TX, but it lacks the one thing that I hate the most in IVAN. The mage room. That room makes me sweat just when I see it, and I think that it would be a nice addition to the hell of TX.
Xinroch must be buffed. He should be as strong as Petrus, maybe even a bit stronger. And while his weapon looks cool, it is not too good.
Also, things like the room with shelves filled with food and the gas chamber shouldn't spawn in the secret ice room.

Anyways are you sure you didn't zap the wand of teleport down the hall? Before you discovered that the island was in the path? I think I did that once as well
Nope, I didn't have a wand of teleport back then.
Did you know there's more treasure on the shore, just beyond the island??
Are you trying to trick me into dying again? There is nothing but another kamikaze dwarf there as far as I know.

Do you mean the water doesn't show in the pictures? Did the flames still go out shortly after the burning scrolls were dipped?
No, they just don't get covered in water for some reason.

But there is no backpack full of gunpowder on the ground.

I teleported him off the island once. I wanted to get the chest off the island so I could open it. And I forgot how much worse veteran kamikaze dwarves are than regular ones. I didn't last long

I beat the Tomb of Xinroch! And it was hell. But fun hell. Also, it turns out that it gives the same score multiplier as the High Priest ending, which is a bit odd. My score is also nowhere close to beating the high score, but... I guess I got the highest score out of the people who beat TX. Gotta start somewhere, right?

Nope, that is just a mine and a book. There is nothing else there.

Dipping scrolls in fountains doesn't cover them with water. Dipping other items works fine.
