(clevel:26, dlevel:23) Decided it was time to give Nightmare mode another shot. Chris's recent win reminded me that I had thought Beastmasters might be good in Nightmare mode (if everything has double hp and +5 speed, your mount should, too. Plus, the continual Moronification from those nasty nightmares is a much smaller problem when CHR is your casting stat. Beastlord just flipped from Computer to Moronic, and it had zero impact on his game play), but had never actually tried one.
After a number of unsuccessful attempts, I've got one up and running. Having your dlevel 6 random monster (Mughash, in this case) drop a pair of boots of speed is always a plus. These might just be the first boots of speed I've ever actually found in Entro/Hengband. Definitely bought a pair once, but I'm not sure if I've ever found them. Suddenly, failing the Cloning Pits wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
Had been using that nifty defender heavy lance, but just got Sting, so he'll swap to the sword at least until he gets a decent mount. Haven't gotten anything very formidible yet, and they keep getting shot out from under him.
Awesome collection of functional mutations so far, with Smell Monster combining with Trump Spying to give him actually quite good detection, emit light makes the Phial expendible, grow mold and panic hit (which I've never really used before) are tremendous defensive tools, and extra legs, limber, and resist magic are great all around. If given the choice between losing limber and swapping the entire mutation set for the 4 stat boosters plus extra legs, I'd probably choose to lose limber.

Eol was a bit more than he could handle on dlevel 12, which is in line with my last Nightmare mode character who drew Bleys at dlevel 24. At least the Vault quest was fairly bland. I had a character run into Atlas in there once.

(clevel:29, dlevel:36) After sticking me with Eol, the RNG made up for it by having It drop Cambeleg (even being in a position to see and kill It counts a stroke of luck), and then providing Ulwarth as a very easy draw for dlevel 24.
Managed to catch a 9-headed hydra on dlevel 23 and had visions of riding it into battle. After being thrown 90% of the time anything happened, I realized it wasn't a good plan so the hydra is sitting a capture ball at home. Summon Animals produced Tyrannosaurus Rexs without too much trouble, thus providing mounts for the next few levels. They did nicely and Beastlord's rate of getting thrown dropped rapidly and has gone down noticeably fast with practice.
The T. Rexs seemed a bit fragile, oddly enough, while a captured Hippogriff seemed unusually durable, so he swapped. After it died, he picked up the current Pegasus, and its working out very nicely so far. I had planned to switch back to the hydra once his skill in Riding got to Skilled, but that seems to be taking quite a long time.
Mutations have been continued being good, though Produce Alcohol has definintely proved a pain, as it seems to kick off hallucinations more often than Hallucinatory Insanity used to. White Aura is always a great pickup, but for a character without a ready source of temporary resists, Harden to the Elements is a godsend, and one I actually considered scumming for at the beginning instead of a Chaos Patron.

(clevel:33, dlevel:43) Slowly moving up in the world. Right after the last post, he finally hit "Skillled" in Riding, so he switched to the hydra. Riding skill was now high enough for it to be feasible, and Beastlord was soon off terrorizing Angband on his new mount. Unlike his prior steeds, this one has been durable enough to stick around and it eventually evolved into an 11-headed hydra. While I would love to switch to a law drake or even a dragon and upgrade it, the hydra has been a doughty adventuring companion.
Beastlord has had great weapon luck so far this game. He finds good weapons, and then soon after finds one that is even better. The Thieves' Den reward was an ego broadspear, and Lionheart dropped a scimitar of slaying (4d5). Shortly afterward, he sold everything of value he owned to buy that defender heavy lance. Used the lance from levels ~18-26 until he got Sting from the Vault. Sting worked great, but within half an hour of play, the long sword of force showed up and it was used for all of 5 minutes, most of which was spent killing Ishikawa Goemon who dropped Zantetsuken. Zantetsuken was also wielded for 5 minutes as the next encounter after Goemon was a pack of Bloodletters, one of which dropped the nifty Blade of Chaos of Pattern, which he's wielding now. Its been a serious revolving door of weapons, but in a good way.
The quest for Utgard-Loke shows how Nightmare mode can be nasty. Not only did the bugger have 8k hp, but his frost breath did max damage (166 vs double cold resist) until I had knocked off 3k of his hp. Ungoliant isn't normally very scary, but here she has 22k hp, which is bad news for breath attacks (no, the max doesn't go up, but she can throw max damage attacks for a looooong time).
Contemplating the level 44 quest, but it might be Baphomet, so I'm waiting a bit. Cloning Pits would be nice, but since he won't get much benefit from the speed boost of the boots (his current speed boots are actually sitting at home) because of the way riding works, its actually not a big deal.

Eldrich Horror shocks can apparently permanently reduce INT and WIS in Nightmare mode (can they do it in regular, too? I never noticed.). I'm especially glad CHR is his casting stat.

(clevel:35, dlevel:50) Quaffed a potion of Polymorph and it both gave him Sickeningly Fat AND took away Extra Legs. For another character, that would have meant a -5 total hit to speed, which would have been catastrophic in the mid-game. However, as long as Beastlord can stay on his mount, the only impact on him is the +2 CON, so its actually welcome.
That reliable 11-headed hydra finally croaked while fighting Petshop (my doubled cold resist didn't extend to my mount, it would seem), but Petshop was almost done, and Beastlord was able to finish him on foot. Snagged a rather slow AMHD after that, which is fine for now, but definitely leaves room for improvment. I can see that Probe is going to be an important part of the game when hunting for steeds.
Looks like all stat drains have a chance of being permanent, which I discovered after an especially painful encounter with Yibb-Tstil.
Still scared of the Cloning Pits, and the RNG has rewarded that fear by giving Beastlord a series of easy Random Quest draws. I'll probably break down and do the Cloning Pits once Beastlord has a Wyrm-grade mount.

(clevel:36, dlevel:51) Even in Nightmare mode, riding a GWoL (and a slow one, at that) makes the Cloning Pits a breeze. Of course, Beastlord inflicting nearly 700 damage/round against demons when Berserk helped as well. I also realized before going in that he could swap Arvedui for Isildur, which helped his AC pretty dramatically.
Saw a (special) (x4) light crossbow, but it turned out to be a randart. I realized after some teeth gnashing that Brand actually wouldn't have been very useful. Not bothering with the new shoes as +4 DEX, +9 AC, and (+5,+5) isn't worth losing rDisenchant. Found the heavy crossbow of extra might, and he needed rDark, so out goes the heavy crossbow of extra shots.
Skipped the middle man with the GWoL. Went to R'lyeh to cash in the arena scroll of *acquisition*, and there was a GWoL there, so Beastlord lured it into a tunnel and beat it down until he could snare it with a capture ball.

Are Mana Storm damages increased in Nightmare? Even if it's not, I'm having trouble imagining how you took care of the Black Reaver, despite decent equipment, at +8+10 speed, and with no real sources of healing.
Heck, I woulda thought that the DE Sorceror would have been the stopping point. Any tricks you pulled?

The sorcerer was actually easy. Heavy crossbow of extra shots plus those bolts of hurt evil worked nicely against the sorcerer. Thanks to Harden against the elements, I was double resisted against everything and reflected to boot, so he had trouble hitting me very hard.
The Shambler was rough, because while I was wearing that randart with IMMElectric, I think I was still riding the hydra at that point, and it was NOT. I was ok, but the hydra was hanging by a thread when the battle ended and losing that would have dropped me from speed +20 or so down to, hmm, +3 or so, which likely would have been bad.
The Reaver was rough, and even worse, he opened up by mana storming me. Mana storm appears to do regular damage in Nightmare mode. As far as I can tell, the only changes in Nightmare Mode are: A) always awake monsters, B) Monster base speeds increased by +5 (though with normal variation. His captured GWoL is only +8 speed. Bleh.), C) Monstes have double hp (which does affect breath attacks), D) The nastiness at midnight, and E) If you lack rFear, sometimes you are randomly made afraid. I haven't seen any change to monster attacks (other than breath attacks), monster accuracy, or spell casting. Haven't seen any changes to character spellcasting or combat, either.
So, how did I win against the Reaver? Well, Beastlord's AMHD steed got credit for that. Remember that all the Nightmare mode monster buffs apply to the steeds as well. The AMHD had 4,200 hp, and the Reaver didn't resist fire (or acid or electricity for that matter), which means 1,400 point breath attacks. Additionally, the steed appears to get actions even when you move on it. So on rounds that I moved forward to charge the reaver, the AMHD could still breathe or cast spells. It was a close fight, and all the Reaver needed to do to win was cast a second Mana Storm, but it stuck with melee, curses, and nether balls at the AMHD, none of which hurt nearly as much.

Oh, two more changes in Nightmare mode. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe rDisenchantment does not provide 100% protection, and stat drains are occasionally permanent.
Dave, have you played a Calvary or Beastmaster character before? Once you get a serious mount, they are extremely powerful.
The steed gets its own moves and half of all monster attacks are aimed at it instead of you. I don't even notice weak/annoyance monsters anymore. Starting about with the 11-headed hydra as a mount, Cave orcs, townfolks, the lesser vortices, etc. couldn't get within 20 squares of me before my steed would breathe and destroy them.

Elliot,
I've played them a little, but never got far enough to get a good mount... my characters keep getting their early mounts fried from under their feet--Chris has mentioned that I should try going without for the first 20 clvls, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Is damage always 1/2 chance to mount, or do monsters intelligently target either you or your steed?

I disagree with going entirely on foot for the first 20 levels. In the early going, I kept trying to ride horses and the like, and while the riding didn't hurt me and actually did help a little, the mounts tend to die so fast that its a revolving door.
However, while they may not be doing much good, an advantage of that early mount usage is that it slowly builds your riding skill. Riding skill may be the slowly building skill int he game. Not riding anything and then trying to hop on an AMHD is a recipe for frustration as it will throw you contiually.
I found that I had built up enough skill to ride level ~20 mounts (like the T Rice, to use some Steamband humor), which at least didn't die quite as fast and then built up to the upper hydras.

Nope. He's not dead, just in hibernation for a while. I'm sort of clearing out all the characters I've started and am playing them out.
Nightmare mode is rough, but this character is a powerhouse and after a tenative start as I got used to Nightmare mode again, he's doing quite nicely.
Additionally, I had forgotten that this character might just have the best collection of mutations of any Beastman I've ever played. White Aura, Harden to the Elements, Emit Blinding radiation, Grow Mold, Eat Magic, and Resist Magic is an awfully strong list. Steel skin, Resilient, and Telepathy would make it the perfect combo.

Actually, you have one other Super-Mutation that you may not have been using effectively thus far--Hit and Away. That mutation is really great against melee Uniques, and in general when you would rather quaff 6 !CCW rather than a !oHealing. It's even better when you have "Wreck Dungeon," but even without, I'd rank it as the fourth most useful mutation (after Eat Magic, Harden to Elements, and Magic Resistance).

Huh. I've used that mutation before, but it always seemed like any strategy involving a lot of teleporting/blinking away from an enemy was a bad idea. Guess it depends on the situation. I can certainly see its value against, say, Wahha-Man.

As usual, Habu was a PitA. When he wasn't mana storming, he was teleporting away and making me hunt him down across a large level. Finally, the GWoL got a double move and breathed sound twice, stunning Habu and pinning him down for the kill.

Haven't read Order of the Stick before, but I really like it! Thanks for the recommendation!
Has "Moving faster or slower randomly" caused any trouble yet? I've had it activate for slow inconvenient a couple times (which probably means I was playing too riskily in the first place), so I also tend to regard it as one of the worst mutations (the only one being definitely worse is Vulnerability to Elements).

Glad you like OotS. I got quite a few chuckles out of it. Plus, its up to #285 or so now, so that's many hours of built-up entertainment.
Ran into the Unicorn on dlevel 57 and only survived by frantically teleporting away until the Unicorn finally lost me.
"Faster or Slower" (aka Manic-Depressive) is indeed annoying. The slow side can't really be negated (casting spells, etc. won't get rid of it) until it runs out. On the bright side, the manic part appears to work even while mounted. That's nice, because normal haste doesn't work with a steed. Overall, I'd give it a solid thumbs-down. However, I wouldn't say its 2nd worst (yup, elemental vulnerability is definitely the worst), because that's siutational. A character who has resilient and gets albino, has steelskin and gets rotting disease, or a non-rider who has extra legs and gets stumps, are worse swings. -7 or so CON for the first, -25 AC, -1 CON, and -2 CHR for the second, and -5 (or is it 6?) speed for the 3rd. I'd probably say switching from Resilient to Albino is the 2nd worst one.

Actually, Extra Legs and Stumps aren't "opposites". You can have both, and get 0 speed modifier (I'm pretty sure I got this once before..).
I was going by "most of the characters, most of the time" definition for best and worst mutations. You can find some pretty extreme/amusing combinations if you're looking at specifics. For example, normally "Face is shrouded in illusion" is pretty good, because a lot of characters have lower CHA than provided by that. One time I picked that up while playing Bard though, and the effect was a -6 to CHA. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why I had a -6 Self modifier on CHA..

Still not dead, just distracted. Slowly advancing in power and moving down levels.
Dave, with "Face shrouded in illusion" your CHR is tied to your clevel, so it probably would have been less than -12 at 50, but I agree that it does suck for Bards. I seem to recall once playing a bard who got it and responded by going to Zul and purging until it was gone, but I might be imagining it.

(clevel:41, dlevel:61) Level 61 was a very small, but good, level for Beastlord as he killed Hastur, then Caine, then Ancalagon (tried to tame him, but guess the capture balls and hi spells don't work on uniques) who summoned Fafner and Smaug, so Beastlord took care of them, too, along with a bunch of wyrms and higher level zephyr hounds.
The carnage produced Laputa, the good palantir, Caine's wanted corpse, a randart crossbow with IMElectricity was in the BM when Beastlord went to turn in Caine's corpse, and, best of all, the first diamond blade any of my characters have seen in a long time.

The RNG was very kind on dlevel 68, producing both Maelstrom AND Anabasis! Of course, Anabasis isn't all that handy to a Beastlord, but who knows? Maybe something will kill the new steed and he'll be forced to fight on foot. Since he's now riding a steel dragon, that doesn't seem terribly likely.

Sometimes stupidity is your best friend. I decided a poison needle was the only way to beat the Arena, so I took a trial run at the Fenghuang.
Remarkably, it went pretty well. Well enough that, feeling stupid, he went right back in to take on the GWoP. I wouldn't say it went smoothly, but he prevailed (is it my imagination or do poison needles always hit now?).
Beastlord went into the dungeon and practiced dimension door until he was pretty good at it, and, *gulp* went after the Babble.
And he beat it! Using Dimension door to move around, eat magic on the hoard of rods he brought in to replenish his SP, and Berserk to heal, Beastlord was able to buy just enough time to stay upright, and landed blows when he'd get a lucky double move. The Poison Needle must always hit now, because Beastlord's first 5 hits all landed.
Hit #5 proved fatal.

Continuing the successful stupidity, I totally forgot about the Diamond Edge sitting in his home, and read the scroll on the Dragonboots with rDisenchant. The boots came out with (in addition to rDisenchant) rShards, rDark, sustain Wis, and some combat bonuses.
At first it didn't seem like much, and remembering the diamond edge I kicked myself pretty hard. Then I realized that swapping Frakir in for the ring of rShards would open up his weapon and launch slots. Bringing in that randart xbow gives him ImmElec, and the Chainsword (plus the new boot bonus) ups his damage output against evil monsters by nearly 20%, not even counting the new vorpal bonuses, and non-evil monsters by more like 50%.
Of course, he aggravates now, but so what?
Jumping back into the dungeon, telepathy immediately picked up the Defiler, Charon, Saruman, Kenshirou, and Judge Fear. Beastlord ate them all for breakfast. VROOM-VROOM!

Plus, Sauron is human in Entroband, which was a excellent fit with Beastlord's Chainsword.

Wielding Aglarang in this dump because its base damage is still very slightly higher, and I think the 1123 damage/round output in the dump might be the highest ever for one of my characters.

The late-game uniques are really tough in Nightmare mode. Was fighting Loki on dl75 who teleported Beastlord down a level to face his next set unique encounter: Cantoras.
Cantoras is a tough opponent with his +30 speed, though I generally think of him a step down from Vecna when it comes to undead wizards. He's not exactly frail, but I also don't think of him as having the staying power of the truly nasty uniques.
So on nightmare mode, Cantoras walks into Beastlord's anti-summoning corridor at the end of which awaits a fully buffed Beastlord. At the 2nd to last square, Cantoras first summons the Witch-King, and when Beastlord finally disposes of him (requiring a teleport away to heal and recover. Thank heavens for Dimension Door.) Cantoras's first move is to summon Thuringwethil to do the job the Witch-King just failed to do.
Once they were both gone, Cantoras decided to take matters into his own hands and stepped into melee range. Beastlord gleefully sliced into him with the Chainsword, hitting 5 of 6 times, including 4 vorpal hits: 1 gouge, 1 smite, and 2 cleaves. Then the steel dragon got a double-move, landing what I estimated to be ~200 points worth of melee attacks. I don't know the exact numbers, but I'm guessing that's probably 1,300-1,400 points of total damage and about as hard as Beastlord can hit against a non-human. Cantoras didn't even lose a star. Oh, boy.
On 17.6.2006 23:24 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
(clevel:47, dlevel:76) Fortunately for Beastlord, Cantoras couldn't back up that intimidating start. I had forgotten that he couldn't cast anything nastier than mana bolt and psychospear, many of which were even thrown at Beastlord's steel dragon instead of at Beastlord. Beastlord did quaff a potion of healing once during the fight, but it was only just to be safe. The Witch-King and even Thuringwethil were both actually more trouble.
Cantoras did prove generous, however. First, he dropped the Vorpal Blade, a spectacular weapon and one of the very few standard artifacts that might actually be more destructive than the Chainsword. They're both really good, and deciding between them will take a fair bit of calculating.
Also, more intriguingly, Cantoras dropped a heavy lance of force. No Vorpal effects at all, but at 40 lbs it deals wicked criticals (even an eviscerating hit doesn't match getting a *GREAT* hit in sheer entertainment value) and unlike the Chainsword and the Vorpal Blade, the lance is not only "suitable for mounted use", which is a bonus for to-hit and damage, but its also specially made for mounted use. That means it does 6d8 when used while mounted, not the usual 4d8. Combine that with a force brand and you're looking at 18d8 damage on regular hits.
Not sure what he'll end up wielding now, but I'm quite sure that, as wonderful as it may be, Aglarang is going into storage.

Force is actually 3.5x or 21d8. A *GREAT* makes that 63d8 (actually 3*3.5*6d8). Definitely worthwhile against monsters not effected by *any* slay, such as the Destroyer or the Unicorn (though I can't imagine facing either in Nightmare mode ;-).
Vorpal Blade is better than Chainsword vs. Evil non-human/orc/troll monsters ...

Oh, yes, Amber's activation gets used quite a bit. For serious battle emergencies I tend to use potions as Beastlord's MD skill is indeed poor, and he's often Berserked on top of that.

I'll usually use a CCW to clear the Berserk, spend 2 or 3 turns activating Amber (very rarely takes longer than that) and then Berserks again. Situations like that actually happen quite a bit, thanks to Beastlord being able to control where he fights battles by casting Dimension Door.
When he's got more time and is genuinely safe, yes, Berserk is the primary source of healing. However, given the option, I'd prefer to take 4-6 rounds before being able to be back at the monsters at near full strength, rather than taking 30 to 40 (including the time spent Eating Magic to get some SP back). The longer you're away, the more bad things can happen.

The lance does good damage, but just uses up to many SP for my taste. Berserk, Harden to the Elements, Dimension Door... all are handy abilities that cost SP to use. The lance just doesn't do quite enough damage to warrant being out of SP all the time.
So, going with the Vorpal Blade for now. Still not quite 100% sure its better than the Chainsword, but it feel like it's slightly better in more situations. Of course, if he makes it to the Chemist, the Chainsword is coming back out.

(clevel:49, dlevel:87) Slowly cleaning up the level 70-80 uniques and the much coveted clevel 50. Just took out Ymir (17-friggin-thousand HP. I'm REALLY not looking forward to Oberon), Azriel, and the Tarrasque in short order, three of the nastiest uniques in the game, IMO, so Beastlord's punching power is getting the job done.
Ymir was troublesome because of his summoning and varied spellcasting. Azriel only breathed once or twice, so while the fight took a while, it was surprisingly tension-less. The Tarrasque fight was kinda funny, in that while many monsters have gotten into the habit of attacking Beastlord's succession of increasingly imprevious mounts (yeah, YOU try killing a 9k HP steel dragon while Beastlord is beating on you, or the 10k HP Great Wyrm of Space-Time (+14 speed) that he had upgraded to), including Sauron, resulting in their doom, the Tarrasque was finally a unique with the muscle to do the job.
The fight seemed to be going fine, with the Tarrasque down to 4 stars and Beastlord taking less damage than I expected, when suddenly the Tarrasque reduced Beastlord to ~150 hp with an apparent triple move. The Tarrasque had managed to kill Beastlord's double HP Great Wyrm of Space-Time from full HP and I hadn't even realized it. Suddenly at speed +3, Beastlord fled, healed, summoned a new mount (Ethereal Dragon) and returned to finish it off.
All ended well, but he needs a new mount now.

To be honest, I'm somewhat surprised that the Tarrasque didn't manage to disenchant any of your important gear (i.e. Shiva's Jacket, Cambeleg, Maelstrom, etc), since I seem to recall you mentioning that RDisenchant isn't perfect in Nightmare mode. Guess coverage is still pretty darn good then.

Er, wait, was it Godzilla that did the big disenchantments? I remember Norsa is RBase breaths, but I don't remember between Tarrasque and Godzilla, which one likes which elements..

There really weren't that many chances for stuff to get disenchanted, since the Tarrasque's melee attacks don't disenchant. 2 hits to attack, and 2 hits to drain charges. Sure, it has a disenchant breath attack, but it can also breath mana and... something else. Fire, maybe. I bet it only breathed Disenchantment 3 or 4 times during the fight, and the protection is good enough to handle that.
Those breath attacks were mostly aimed at Beastlord's mount, which is probably what killed the poor thing. Looking over the stats, I realize the GWoST lacked a bunch of basic resists. Since in the version I'm playing the monsters are smart about hitting resist holes, that might explain why the Tarrasque kept hitting the mount instead of the rider. Double fire-resisted rider vs. unresisted mount? An easy choice which to target.
One other interesting observation is that the GWoST used its breath attacks in melee all the time without hurting Beastlord (it is not permitted ot use attack spells when Beastlord is in the AoE). Can other Wyrms breathe on melee opponents without hurting their rider?

(clevel:50, dlevel: 88)
Woo hoo. Level 50.
Failed to get Cerberus (which is a shame, as its one of the easiest draws you can get) when Unmakers started taking over the level and Cerberus opened the fight by summoning Nexus hounds (didn't fight him in an anti-summoning cooridor. Panicked when I saw the Unmakers and tried to get Cerberus immediately rather than getting an optimal battlefield. Tried summoning mold to cover the area, but Cerberus kept killing them all.) which was a huge problem as I had decided to punt rNexus.
By the time I realized I could teleport Cerberus away, hopefully to better terrain, the Unmakers had taken over half the map and it was too late.
On the bright side, Beastlord also encountered on the level, and took down, Shuma Gorath, Loki, and Ulik. When he came down the stairs, totally unbuffed, Shuma Gorath was sitting right there next to the stairs, in melee range. Uh, oops. Beastlord managed to recover (Dimension door away, buff, dimension door back in) and take out a varsity-level opponent. Loki's a nasty one, but Beastlord got him into an anti-summoning corridor and just beat the crap out of him.

Hm, wouldn't a GWoManyColors work better? GWoBalance still doesn't have any of the RBase.. and high resistance coverage isn't nearly as complete. (Plus, GWoMC has a buttload of HP, especially in nightmare mode)

(clevel:50, dlevel:99) Stocking up for the fight against Oberon, which I expect to be the unique who is most upgraded from Normal to Nightmare. I believe the game caps HP at 30k, so everyone significantly above him doesn't get the full hp boost.
A GWoMC would be a problem, as it has all 3 elemental sheaths, and Beastlord only has IMMElec. The GWoST resolved the problem by getting itself shot out from under Beastlord while fighting Tiamat. After it went down, Beastlord went back to his Steel Dragon mount, but for Oberon he's switching to that +29 Speed Sky Drake he summoned and captured. He'll still take cold damage, but I'm willing to live with it for a few big fights.

First trip down to 99 was a fiasco as it proved to be a "Who's Who" of remaining high level uniques. Cerbereus, Huan, and Carachoth were all in LoS when he came in, Kronos, Hela, the Destroyer, and a few of the Cthulu ones as well. A Greater Lich Angel-Daemon-Dragon-whatever-thing was there and saved Cerberus's flaming hide with a timely arrival and time stop. I REALLY wanted to capture it as it was both human (among other things. Making it vulnerable to the Chainsword) and its ridable. Plus, it can stop time, which is pretty damn nice ability to get from your mount.
Just couldn't do it, though, as the level was taken over by summons.
Oh the Vorpal Blade just disappeared on me. Dunno what happened. Glad I had teh Chainsword.

Nightmare-mode True-Winner!
Oberon apparently counts as human for the Chainsword, so actually wasn't a problem. One of the easier fights against the Serpent as Beastlord could just about go toe-to-toe with it and had plenty of healing built up.
Got Cerberus down to 2 stars or less 4 times, and Nodens 3 times, but just couldn't put either of them away...
Uh, wait a minute, it says Cerberus is dead. Hmm. Dunno how that happened, but I'm very happy for it. I blew ridiculous resources trying to get them, so I'm glad one did in fact die.
Chemist was its usual tough self, but with his dimension door and swap position spells, great speed (+44 when hasted on the Sky Drake), and huge offense against humans, Beastlord was pretty much the ideal guy to kill him. If I hadn't blew that healing on Cerberus and Nodens, I could have had him. As it was, I wanted to secure a Nightmare mode True-Winner more than I wanted the Chemist dead. Maybe next time.

How much resources did you have to use for tackling the Serpent? I remember thinking to myself last time I show this dump that, "Hm, Elliott has an awfully small !oHealing/?oDestrution stockpile, considering it's Nightmare Mode."
Normally (for a character without Healing/Herbal Healing), I like to have at least 10 !o*Healing* and 20 !oHealing. and 10 ?oDestruction, plus plenty of Staves of Destruction with Scrolls of Recharging.

Well, the Serpent wasn't really any tougher than it is in normal, and those numbers aren't terribly far off from what I brought in. Maybe 10-12 *healing*, 7 or 8 healing, and 12 scrolls of destruction. Didn't take anywhere near that. Used maybe 2-3 destruction scrolls (dimension door and swap position was a real life-saver for bad situations, though it did fail annoyingly often. His fail-rate was generally around 5% anyway, so I dunno about the hidden 5% fail-rate.), about 5 *healing* and all but 2 of the healing potions.
Oberon scared me, but was really easy. I don't remember exactly what he required, but I do remeber having him at 4 stars left, and having used only Amber's activation and 2 healing potions.
Went after the Chemist with about 10 destruction scrolls, ~7 *healing*, and 2 healing potions. Used 3 of the *healing* and 1 healing, plus Amber's activation trying (with mixed success) to kill Cerberus and Nodens. If I had just destructed them both away (though I was deeply frustrated with both of them, and was willing to give up on the Chemist if it meant getting them), and gone after the Chemist, he just might have gotten it done.
