Lmao I missed the fact that they were killed by “some other reason”

What's up with all the ghosts?

I didn't think the corpses looked like a ton but 4663... yeah don't think I've ever seen that many lol. I just avoid the levels where they spawn though

It would be nice to have a guaranteed way to get rid of magical mushrooms entirely.

I noticed GC is visible now even before I deliver the encrypted scroll to Petrus. Was that just a temporary change for this world map development version or is that how it is now?

The trick to mustard gas definitely seems to be spreading out your healing and just tasting the bottle over time, rather than drinking the whole bottle up front.

I even took an extra step in the gas this time (could have moved diagonally but did not), and still survived, so it didn't seem quite as bad as I remembered.


Oh I did come across one of the goblin mages for the first time. Zapped me with webbing. That was cool to see!

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 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

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

This is going to be awesome! Bless you Covid

Yeah Kenny is good hedgehog bait
