hm it was probably the number 1 reason I would die in GC1/GC2 recently but I guess this goes back to me rushing through games.

I would not build up any endurance so with only 37 HP they’d kill me. But yeah for those characters I also didn’t find any form of fire resistance

Is the dwarves mine field always in GC2? And I believe mines only appear in that room in that level. If so then yeah it might be nice to prevent them from appearing in GC1. That way newbies aren’t taken totally off guard and experienced players have more time to find fire resistance. Anyways not adamant about changing this at all, just a discussion

Yeah I think mustard gas traps are still invisible. It wasn’t as bad this time, I had 4 vials of healing and 1 can, and I survived with the vials + 2 tastes of the can

Just rambling here, I made it to GC4 for the first time in dozens of attempts.

I lucked out with some great items

- amulet of ESP
- symbiotic worm ring (sold it though, the green light it emits is too annoying)
- wand of cloning which had at least 2 charges
- wand of polymorph (never got to use it though)
- ring of invisibility (bought in Attnam)
- horn of plenty
- horn of healing (bought in Attnam)
- map of black market (in GC shop, not sure if it is guaranteed to be there or I got lucky)

However my actual armor was trash... didn't have any equipment with stat bonuses, my boots were just nymph hair, and I didn't find a single pair of gloves/gauntlets. Fighting the wolf cave was very hairy because of my weak limb protection.

I had a ton of enchant armor & harden material scrolls thanks to the wand of cloning, but I was "saving" them until I found better items to use them on

I went with double axes, one was 3d6. The other was only 1d4 but it was a chilling axe so I kept it. I think this may be the main reason my character did well- usually I get much more powerful weapons early, without the proper stats to balance it out, which boosts my danger level too high.

Also had good favor with Atavus which was super nice for enchanting my armor without spending a scroll.

I ended up losing to Rondol... definitely could've been more careful because he didn't one-shot me. I had used up all of my healing liquid recovering from a mustard gas trap and didn't have any teleportation methods available. To be honest with the lame armor I had, I wasn't too in love with the character, or I would've tried harder to keep him alive. I was more just rushing to get further and hopefully find some better equipment throughout the dungeons

I like the concept of the black market. I like that it offsets when you get really bad luck like I did with never being able to find certain item types. Unfortunately I had spent all of my money so I wasn't able to take advantage of it


I think we should nerf landmines. It's just practically impossible to survive GC2 without some form of fire resistance. Searching several times per step is a big nuisance and still doesn't even guarantee that you've found all of them.

That’s hilarious! I think there’s two most likely possibilities of what he could’ve eaten early in the game

SPOILER ALERT. Click here to see text.
a magic mushroom corpse or mutant bunny corpse

He may have also been gassed by a magic mushroom or a magic gas trap?

Testing it out some, love it! I think Medium is a little too big for the default though (possibly because I have the graphics at 2x factor so it carries onto more screens)... I think that will still have the same annoyances as vanilla IVAN where the map is just too large and hard to find what you're looking for. I would go with Small or 4 screens as the default

Artificial limbs always seemed easier to me in the past but I think that’s because by the time I got to that point I had changed & hardened them myself. Lately when I try for artificial limbs as a gift from a god the danger level screws me

Even with artificial limbs I think strong + flexible gear is more useful than strong metals

Lightning resistance is probably most important against mages although invisibility is super helpful in the big zombie level (GC 6?)

Love it!!

Make sure you don't lose the encrypted scroll. AFAIK it's indestructible, but if you drop it, you won't be able to proceed with Petrus's quest.

Get you a gibberling who will step on a giant mine for you
