Tomb of Xinroch
in forum Other Coding
Yes definitely!
Yay!
This last one is crazy good.
It must be an endgame artifact, because it will be overpowered no matter what.
For the victories,
SPOILER ALERT. Click here to see text.
I think freedom can be granted for the Skull of Xinroch, it has nice analogy with the current freedom ending - head of a monster endangering Attnam for your freedom.
For knighthood ending, I'll take the liberty of quoting myself.
Normal knighthood is harder than freedom, but doesn't make you fight Petrus and the whole Attnam. This ending would make the whole Attnam angry, but if you are quick and clever, you still don't need to fight them and Mortifer will kill off everyone once you negate the protection of Valpurus over Attnam.
That would make it easier than Chaos and High Priest endings (no need to kill Petrus), but harder than freedom (you are cut off Attnam and all its shops and repairs, plus need to return).
For knighthood ending, I'll take the liberty of quoting myself.
Knighthood-tier could use the avatar of Valpurus laying on the other throne in the Cathedral. You would need to steal it (angering Attnam) and offer it at a High Altar of Mortifer deep within Tome of Xinroch, to receive a blessing of Mortifer, which would result in "corrupted avatar of Vapurus" and you would win by using it upon the altar in the Cathedral converting the High Altar of Valpurus to Mortifer, who would promptly rain death and sorrow upon all surviving Attnamese?

Yes. But if you can't levitate then you don't want to revert to your true form while you're swimming!
Another reason we need amulet of unchanging.

BTW, will the maze floor generator be included in the next release?
EDIT:
Thinking about another special floor that might be found here:
Basically, the player has to fight through a series of rooms, each with a stonger mosnter than the room before. All the doors are locked with an octagonal lock, making it more or less the player's choice when he will tackle each.
EDIT 2: (Last one, I swear!)
Thinking about the several forms of Xinroch the player will meet, what if we base it a bit on Egyptian concept of body and soul? Basically, everyone has several parts or types of souls and the player could battle all pieces of dead Xinroch.
Skeleton of Xinroch
The current Xinroch, is he didn't appear elsewhere yet. Melee fighter type.
Shadow of Xinroch
His sheut, could be quite weak, but with huge Dex and Agi, making him quick and capable of criticals. Can also walk through walls.
Spirit of Xinroch
His ba, probably should be spellcaster for a change. Can walk through walls.
Soul of Xinroch
His ka and the final boss. Warrior-wizard, because casters in IVAN are powerful and combining magic and melee prowess could be lethal and !!Fun!!. Can walk through walls and might even teleport.
I was also thinking about an artifact cloak "Shadow Veil" found in this dungeon (and non-wishable). It would grant no AV, but ethereal status (as ghosts have), letting the player walk through walls.

Enner's river
in forum IVAN Development
Say red, what happens if you make Mr. Enner able to swim?
It's definitely possible to let him swim, he'll catch you slightly faster, taking the straight way rather than walking over the bridge.
However, you guys think spawning him in a set place makes him too much of a predictable threat, we might leave the river as is, only make Enner spawn randomly anywhere on the level.Thoughts?
As stated above, the player learning to swim is redundant right now. That said, I can see some potential in letting the player swim if we make underwater levels possible, with diving/surfacing acting as descend/ascend stairs.
That would be awsome! If we're adding new dungeons in the future, underwater dungeon would definitely be a nice niche.
It would also be nice to have a drowning system rather than instadeath whenever you touch water pool.
You could still sink like an anvil if you don't know how to swim, but giving the player eg. End-based number of turns to save himself as he slowly drowns sounds fair.

The bridge cannot be destroyed, it's a part of the floor which is indestructible as of now.
Enner should wander around, so it's not exactly in the same place every game. Let's see whether it will make him easier to defeat, because that's not something I was aiming for.

Unfortunately, that would result in the stairs occasionally generating in the middle of the river... I'll have a look if I can come up with something when I have a time, but the dungeon generation code screws with me good.
BTW, thanks to whoever fixed and merged this on Git and sorry for the screwed up indention - I was abroad and couldn't fix it until now.

anything relating to ivan you're too lazy to create a new topic for
in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
Reading a book or scroll in a poorly lit room hurts your eyes (abuses PER).
Seriously?! Well done, devs!

This is awsome.
The only other way I know of is to set a mine in front of Huang's house when nobody is nearby, then let a tourist trigger it. This is likely to heavily damage Huang, so it makes the fight quite easier. But your way seems much easier and more elegant.

Werewolves should definitely be included.
I would actually like to have a way of polymorphing permanently, so that you can try to win as a different creature.

I'm not exactly sure why is the wiki so secretive about this, as it will not help you at all.
