I never train stats like Alveradok, well at least not while proceeding through the game at the same time. I usually get a halberd since that gives me lots of arm strength at the beginning. Always carry a small chest with the "essentials" such as a few bottles of healing liquid. All my extra stuff goes into a larger chest that I drop off at the beginning of each level, and pick up again and move to the next level after it's cleared. That way I'm never too burdened, but at the same time the important stuff can be protected from explosions and yet is within easy grasp. I always carry a wand of teleport, in case I don't have time to open my chest, and because it doesn't cause too much harm if it explodes. As for named baddies, I always stock up on octiron/mithril bear traps, lay a few out for them which hopefully sever their limbs or trap them. Once they are sufficiently trapped (unable to move) or have some limbs cut off they are easy enough to run up to and kill. for the enner, I use wands of fireballs, they seem to be more powerful than striking for him

ah cool, I didn't know you got separate messages based on the name. I did die from a chameleon polymorphed into a valpurium golem on GC2 once. I had just found a flaming valpurium long sword +10 and while I was celebrating, the golem appeared and killed me. A few characters later, I found the flaming sword again and was like, "Yes! I thought I would never find one again but I guess I just got lucky twice in a row" - it never occurred to me that it was the bones file. And of course the golem got me again. But later I found out those swords are temporary and disappear anyway, so it wasn't much of a loss

Does tht make the enemies more powerful ? Is this just for "uncategorized" or for all categories?

too much fermented banana juice?

I don't think body parts can be severed after you (or the enemy) is already dead

yeah, most likely chameleon or magic mushrooms.. I've run into an valpurium golem on GC2 which was a chameleon

If you go into the game hoping that every character you get will succeed, you'll be frustrated easily

more worlds and missions

I agree with JoKe

YES this is good advice, always wear every piece of armor you find.
When you get to the wolf level especially, make sure you have arm and leg protection. I think since their attack is "accurate", they have a higher chance of severing limbs (including heads apparently... I haven't been beheaded by one of those before)

hmm, never gotten that one before
