Incongruous equipment finds made it take a long time for this character to come together. For example, right after I decide he's going to be an anti-magic archer (going for a dark sword of nothingness) he finds Ringil doing the Bree trolls. Now, that's hugely lucky, but it totally blew my strategy. The game has been like that. He had 3-immunity armor, but to wear it, he'd have to be uncovered against 3 other ones and he still doesn't have all his resists, anyway. Failing to save Gondolin REALLY hurt as I had the suit of 3-immunity armor waiting in my house there.

On the other hand, he's been REALLY lucky in some ways. A FF quest for Storm Wyrms was almost the end of him. Three different times a breath attack took him to >10 hp (once to exactly 0).

How did you manage to find so many skeletons? 150 skeletons is quite a lot!

Mordor is done and I'm going around cleaning up the side dungeons and maxing my stats.

I'm still mad about not saving Gondolin. I hardly abandoned it. Maeglin summoned some wraiths, and the group happened to include a Nightwalker and Dwar, who promptly summoned a bunch more monsters. By the time I had them cleaned up, Maeglin was gone. Damn.

150 skeletons was a decent amount, but I've used some up and I really need to get a lot more.

How did I get them? Well, I don't want to make it too obvious, but I'll give you two hints.

First, notice that they're all the same kind of skeleton. Second, look at where I store my inventory.

Its funny that this character, and his pretty inauspiscious start, has become my first one to make it to 50th level and my first one to make it into Angband. I'm not far into it, but so far, its not so bad. Fortunately for DeadZone, 60th level cave trolls go down with one shot just like 30th level cave trolls.

Now that I know what I'm in for, I'm debating whether to go after the side dungeons before hitting the Crypt. Trone's coat is calling me and I just feel there's a better x-bow out there waiting for me somewhere. Still, Angband IS addictive...

DeadZone is about half-way through cleaning up the unfinished side dungeons - Numenor, Helcaraxe, Cirith Ungol, and Rhun are down, as are the Balrogs in Kha-Zhadum and the Minas Anor Thunderlords.

By far the most irritating was Cirith Ungol. If not for boots of Thror and being able to fly, I probably would have given up after a few levels.

Illusion castle is up next, then probably the Necromancer.

Necromancer was easier than I thought, and he was kind enough to leave me the Dark Sword of Nothingness I've been hunting for. He also left me his corpse, which would have been cool if DeadZone was basically any other sort of character.

On to Trone!

Have now shifted from Ringil to Dark Sword of Nothingness as primary weapon. Gives 100% anti-magic out to a radius of 16. +10 speed and useful melee vs the anti-magic was a tough trade-off, but so far its working well. Crypt was a breeze, even though Marda and Ungoliant showed up, since nothing could cast spells.

Found Marda's coat in Erebor, so I never actually went after Trone, and I didn't feel like wading through 30 levels of undead to get Feagwath. Maybe if I hit a tough spot in Angband and need to rethink I'll go after one of them.

On 24.2.2004 05:11 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
Slow going. Every level seems to have a pit full of leveled dragons or giants. Not really dangerous unless I start running low on ammo, but really time consuming to wade through. I was really worried about the greater uniques, but they're falling pretty quickly so far. The power breathers are going to be the biggest problems.

In what way are you 'wading through'? I'm on game-day 14 of Silverleaf (which includes 3 days of tromping around the overhead map). 57 days and scumming Lothlorien for ammo??

With the kit you've got you can take out Morgy within 90 mins of play.

Finally got together enough of the right ammo for Sauron and Morgoth, so I closed out my skeleton supply for more storage space. Losing Gondolin ultimately hurt most because of the lost house. Getting by with just 2 (plus Khazadum) when you need to keep ammo stockpiled is really restricting. Nameless is up next.

Jason,

This guy has had an incredibly up and down history. Dol Gulder and the first few levels of Angband were quick, but I mostly stuck to the main dungeons early on, and his progress was excruciatingly slow. Late Mirkwood and Mordor took forever, because I just couldn't cover all his resists with the armor he found. Even at level 45 and Maeglin he still didn't have rDisen.

That caution, plus his inability to use rods/staves/etc, and some bad luck, meant that I spent vast amounts of time wandering from town to town looking for basic supplies - CCW, Magic mapping, etc. More than once, I'd hit all three remaining towns, find a total of 2 scrolls of magic mapping, rest the night, and try again the next day.

As for scumming Lothlorien, I don't feel bad about that at all. DeadZone's my first character ever to do a bunch of stuff - reach Angband, kill the Necro, reach 50th level, etc. I'm doing everything I can think of to keep him alive.

As for 'wading', I didn't say he was wading through Angband (the first few levels and Crypt were cake, but its been much tougher since then - Ancalagon really knocked me around before I got him), I said he would be able to 'wade through' the Paths of the Dead. I'm confident DeadZone could breeze through the Paths rather easily at this point, I just don't feel like bothering.

S'ok. Caution is no bad thing. Sorry if I came across a little grumpy. It's probably because I find the end-game of TOME to be easier than I think it should be (having played Moria for thousands of hours and come close to winning but never quite doing it).

If it's your first pop at Morgy then take your time, enjoy it and best of luck.

Oh. Don't forget the delights of the Thunderlord Nests. You've only got to poke your head in the XX dungeon and then you can recall to the bottom level for 10K. Locate and kill the EOL baddie, grab his stash and WOR home again.

Made it to level 99. Time to take on Sauron.

Have fun? I am indeed having fun, but I've been a serious bundle of nerves since level 83 or so when I ran into a huge mass of glabrezu or something (at least 50), and had another huge mass of Dreads come floating out of the wall behind me. Barely got away and I've been running for my life ever since.

The end game is easier than expected, all things considered. Every fantasy style game has that problem. At the really high levels, everyone has so many abilities which can be used in so many combinations, that creating an AI to use them properly becomes a major task. Instead, the monsters are just made bigger and stronger while the player starts being able to work multiple powers in combination and kick the greater balrogs around surprisingly easily.

I totally forgot about the Thunderlord nests. I don't know if I used them the whole game. Taking out Trone and Feagwath with them is tempting, but if I somehow died while going after one of them I'd never forgive myself.

Hmm. I know it wasn't the final battle, but Sauron was kinda anti-climactic. I guess DeadZone is better prepared than I realized. The key was not letting Sauron get LOS until he was inside my anti-magic range. Never even touched me, either time.

The Great Wyrm of Power was another story. Didn't have any anti-dragon arrows, and after a few rounds with it, I barely got away.

On to Mount Doom.

Ahhh. I finally got it. I never thought of gathering the skeletons that way. I usually zip through that quest to get to the Aranea and the potion of Augmentation.

That's it for Sauron.

That last level of Mount Doom was quite something, but in the end the Ring was cast back into the fires from which it came. Hunting down Sauron was a pain in the butt, but, again, in the end, DeadZone got him.

Now for the big cheese himself. Obviously, I want to kill him, but I'd settle for finding him and dying in the attempt.

On 28.2.2004 07:58 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
WINNER!

Morgoth goes down! Just like Sauron, he never even touched me. Seeker bolts of slay evil plus big stack of phase door scrolls equals a dead Morgoth and an undamaged archer.

Of course, also just like Sauron, DeadZone almost bit the dust to a supporting monster. DeadZone had just finished off a big pack of demons and was down about half his health. A big grey P tunnels out of the wall behind him, but DeadZone's at speed +35 and I figure he can make the stairs before the Hru gets to him. I assume wrong, its not a Hru, its Atlas, and he somehow he catches up and gets a round of attacks in. As the blows land, DeadZone's hit points come down fast and his number on the screen goes from 6 to 4 to 2 to a red 0. After all that, to die like that...

But of course, he wasn't dead. DeadZone had a full 64 hits left. A teleport scroll put him in an room with a couple of quickly dispatched orcs, and a *Healing* potion made him as good as new. The timing was perfect, as Literally 5 steps later, Morgoth pops out of the wall. Weird, because the battle with the demons was fairly lengthy and not really that far away. Oh well. Doesn't matter.

I started playing Moria in '90 or '91 (though I took a 10+ year break) and this is my first win on any of them. I'm very happy.

Final comment - anti-magic archers absolutely kick butt. Not being able to melee things wasn't much of a weakness and DeadZone's inability to use wands/staffs/rods was hugely outweighed by Sauron's and Morgoth's inability to summon or otherwise cast spells.

When you're primarily a ranged attacker (in fact, totally without a melee attack), and through anti-magic and reflection you shut down everyone else's ranged attacks (except breath weapons), the big battles tend to go your way.
