Played this character over a span of a few weeks, the plan being to utilize a spear and shield with controlled retreat, and if nothing dropped to help the plan, I could go another route.

The first few levels were pretty hairy. Had plenty of close calls, mainly because I forgot to remove a shadow cloak against kemenrauko and gwathrauko even though I scored a lantern of brightness early. Depended on a spear of boldog and then a spear of hador -1, 1d11 for most of the game until that spear of the vanyar dropped for me at 850, so was not doing alot of damage, especially against kemenrauko. Forced me to invest in sharpness earlier than I wanted to. Really thankful for the plentiful treasure stave drops this game, and the angrist that vallach was guarding which really turned things around. Wanted to repeat 950 a few more times to get a better weapon, but since lungorthin was kind enough to drop me an aeglos, i went ahead and took on the throne room, which was not that bad since I had experience with previous characters that were able to down the big V.

Was it rough taking out Morgoth? Seems like your damage output would've been a little low.

To be honest, I had my doubts on whether I was able to pull it off. Previous experience with a great spear wielding feanorian smith that smithed a "aeglos", then went on to accomplish the same thing assured me that it was viable, though that was on a great spear with around 1d19 damage.

I don't exactly remember the exact sequence of events but I made my way down the long corridor, buffed up everything, sang slaying then sharpness and went to town. had to re-up my buffs at least once or twice. Oh, and I switched out ring of barahir to the ring of perception +4 somewhere mid-fight.

Lets see if I can pull out some stats and jog my memory... (loads the save) After buffing up, I was getting about 20+ to 40+ slaying bonus. Hitting around +40-50 to hit chance and doing about 1d15 damage. When you factor in the critical bonus on finesse and the cold slay on aeglos, I was able to do about 30+ damage per round on average to the big V.

Hmmm... died on the reload trying to duplicate the feat. Yeah I think its safe to say I got rather lucky on the first time round. Wasn't able to reliably get around the regen.

In retrospective, the good thing about the build is that you can somewhat maintain the slaying bonus while hitting V by shuffling backwards and encouraging the minions hanging back to engage you if you are on low health. I think if I had picked up strength in adversity that would have helped alot, along with dropping the shield to get the two handed bonus.

The biggest problem by far is the wild inconsistency on damage output. Part of the reason why I invested heavily in melee to get that crucial point of strength first. If you can manage to chain a few 40+ damage critical hits without V throwing out earthquakes (which was what I think happened in the win), I think you can scrape out the kill just barely. Otherwise, I wouldn't take my chances if you can't force him down to half his stars after the initial barrage.

Looking back on it, I'm rather surprised I was able to pull it off in the first place!

Also, kudos to half and the rest of the dev team. This is my first serious venture into rogue-like dungeon games (tried nethack years ago but it was too complicated and unintuitive). What enticed me to try this was the rather accurate port over of the world of the Silmarillion into game mechanics without too much sacrifice of flavour over gameplay. By far the most elegant representation of the world of the Silmarillion I've seen in my many years of gaming.

I think I'll be trying a great spear dwarven smith next. See if I can duplicate the feat again on a similar build ^^
