Welcome to the forum!

Kavlax is often not worth dealing with in my experience - he has a lot of damage type coverage and it's usually not worth the risk of him getting a couple of good breaths in. Thank you for the high praise, I'm glad that I've been able to help someone get into the game

Hi there!

Just wanted to say Hello... again! It's me from over youtube.
As a side note: I had much better experiences with .mkv-videos too, considering youtube.

I just excaped Kevlax the Many-Headed, who was waiting for me at the bottom of Troll-Cave, that was a shocker moment. It felt like he was there way too early for this level.

For everyone else: I can recommend this series of videos, as scrarth not only plays well, but goes along with great reasoning and explanations; which helps getting into the mindset of the game, a lot.

Been playing a rune knight recently that got very lucky with items - so lucky that I decided to record the serpent fight, which ended up being my quickest by far.

Big thanks for the videos! I only watched first playthrough so far, and it's full of useful things, advice etc. After watching I finally killed Serpent first time.

Definitely do feel free to make requests, I'm running out of ideas for characters to play. I've never played around with Priests but it's certainly something I could have a go at.

I was hoping you would next do either a Stealth build, or a Priest, so this is perfect. I was going to put in a request for these but thought that would come across as a bit cheeky

I love the idea of a melee-focused Priest of Life/Sorcery (or maybe Craft or Trump) but I've never made it work.

Starting up a new stealth focused playthrough, doing an Android Rogue. I'm now recording on my desktop, which means the audio quality isn't quite so bad, but unfortunately I cropped the last couple of rows of the screen, so buffs and dungeon depth don't make an appearance in this video.

This was the best explanation of what someone's doing while they're playing Frog that I've seen, so I actually felt like I could follow a little bit of what was going on, which was really helpful. : )

And is now finished with all the dungeons. I might continue to play the character for a bit to max out experience since I have such a good dragon slaying weapon, but there won't be any more videos for it.

Yeah being willing to fail quests is a mindset it took me a while to adopt, it's always so tempting to stay that one extra turn that kills you. With the Trump tower trick, I've recently started going to DL 97 instead - the drops are pretty much the same quality, but it's much safer as you can teleport level without running the risk of winding up on DL 99 next to Oberon.
