Competition character. Very difficult, this is my best attempt so far. Just found Anglachel. My melee is marginal and I've got a nice Greatsword. Was planning to get Song of Sharpness anyway before 1000 ft and I'm not sure I need the "more dangeous" part. Still not bringing it along feels wrong too. Advice?

Seems like a bad idea to keep it since the only reason you'd want it would be to free silmarils, but you're gonna get sharpness anyway. Sharpness with anything big, like a great axe, will nab a silmaril even easier. Just hold onto a big damage dice weapon near the end for the silmaril cutting.

I love Anglachel, but if you're not going to really ever swing it, the increased danger seems really, well... dangerous, at least with this kind of character. I'd love to hear a counterargument to keep it since it's such a cool weapon.

Is there a way to avoid sharpness? W/ sharpness you need slaying as well, as an archer you want silence/lorien anyway, likely woven themes and unwavering voice as well. Isn't that expensive?

It is expensive (though somewhat mitigated by the Song Affinity of the elves of Doriath). Interesting that you choose Silence/Lorien, as I would naturally have picked out Elbereth.

I'm certain that it is possible to avoid Sharpness, but it is effectively a way to get extra damage out of your Song, and can be quite valuable for that.

I thought for a stealthy archer silence/lorien is natural. Lorien gives you extra damage (less than sharpness) but at least one critical due to -5 evasion as well (other than mastery). Or so... but I never had an archer in the endgame.

But there probably is a reason why I never make it to the endgame but die horribly ... :) Guess I should post one of my Beleg's as well.

Much as it pains me, I'd ditch Anglachel. It will only be useful for the throne room and the throne room is where it will be most painful to have danger. On top of that, you do really want sharpness as it makes a huge difference againt high protection foes such as serpents - and if you are planning on killing Morgoth...

With my Beleg I took Silence, Lorien, Slaying, Sharpness and Woven Themes from the song tree. Lorien was useful for putting cats and other low will mobs to sleep, however I did not have enough invested in song to use it as a major weapon. I found I actually attracted dragons' attention by singing it as they are high enough will to resist it and the additional noise alerted them to my presence! Silence is brilliant for stealth builds and can make a big difference on the ascent.

Really nice progress. Need a break.
The 3 lb longbow is very powerful now that I've got str=3. Also found a quickness one but haven't used it. Don't really use the shortbow anymore. Nor sure where it would be useful.
The latest find, =Con+1 makes life less scary.

Looking for _revelations for the ascent now. Haven't seen a single one of them yet.
Archery and evasion a bit low but the Longbow is quite powerful once you have all the boosts.

Concentration would be good, not sure if I'll try to get it or not. 4500 xp I think.

This is my first archer without Crippling Shot and I am really not missing it. And the ? is much better at stunning foes.

I'm not missing rapid fire either, but I guess it's useful at least when singing Slaying.

Very interesting throne room action. Had to fight more or less from the start since the left door was jammed. When bashing while singing silence, a Troll Guard noticed me.
I then fought batches of foes, no big problems until I got trapped by Morgoth's earthquakes, a few times with quartz in all directions except where he was. The pits worried me too - I recall my first near-win which ended stuck in a pit at 50' with a Silmaril in my hand and Morgoth standing on top, a horrible death so near the surface - but pits were minor problems this time.
A narrow corridor is evidently not the ideal place to fight him. What saved me was my high con (at least high for the comp char) boosted by !con plus my Mattock of Belegost. That Morgoth finally made a wall of quartz between himself and me was a bonus.

Now some rest and then the ascent. I wish I had some _revelations or at least a ?blasting to minimize the risk of being trapped by Morgoth in the upper levels. Maybe I'll find one. We'll see.

I made it! The hardest part was having so few HP in the first half of the game. At some points, the limited amount of ammo was a problem since I relied on Flaming Arrows for a long time. I found very few shithies in this game but found much ammo in the dungeon.
The ring of Barahir (rPoison, Free action and Song of Este) is my favourite find. Never used Song of Este before but it is excellent, especially against e.g. Greater Werewolves.

The short bow felt less useful than in the previous version, especially against the hoards of Orcs in the early game (not a problem, I like that). As soon as I got a 2 lb long bow (str was 2 then) I used that until with str 3, I found a 3 lb long bow. Eventually I dropped the light weight shortbow, did not really try it once my Archery score was decent.
The }Doriath was a lucky find, good weight 3 lb.

And I was wrong about Crippling Shot, it is useful! But the ?Thunder is very useful too and seems always to stun any foe.
