Yeah, my winner got very lucky with xp early on, which allowed me to dive fast, but the whole way, after the first try I made, and the 50 or so not at all successful attempts after that, I adopted an extreme "run away at the first sniff of danger" strategy. Teleport level even. Only when I knew what I was looking at, probed it even, would I stick around. Telepathy was non-negotiable, and I was lucky to get it early (level 36?) from a very nice heavy flail of Gondolin, outperformed all weapons until late in the game (when I'd already killed Ungoliant). Regular Detection, too. That maelstrom v unique I never felt comfortable facing, always exited level immediately, after the first time I saw him and he blasted me down to double digit hp in one shot from like 450hp, with decent resists, after I'd already hit him pretty good with a couple arrows. Even on the final level, when Morgy summoned him, I immediately teleported away. Lucky he didn't catch up with the battle...
And the fucking hounds... exit level.
