Love the quick Sewer Quest. I'm going for a faster zerker this time around. How far can I go?

Gosh, I'm nearly dead again. Walking along, when I run into a pit of off screen dark elven priests. Before I even realized they were there, I was down to double digit hit points. Oy!

DL12 quest reward was an ultra rare vampiric weapon. The pit of dark elven priests obliged with gloves of slaying and a filthy rag of elvenkind. Time to take it to the reptile!!!

No reptile. Just a big mean Grendel, who nearly ate me alive. My two mistakes were:
[1] AC too low at 49
[2] Forgot to take off my dual wielding un-identified excellent dagger (which was crap, of course)

Single wielding my vampiric weapon should have been enough. As it stood, he got me down to 100hp, and I just managed to finish him off. More spell book rewards, which really sucks for a 'zerker ... Well, at least I have some gold.

Time for "Stat Gain" ...

Indra is the first quality artifact I've seen in a while. To bad it is not as good as a helm of seeing at the moment ... though my android would have felt differently!

Near deaths to that #*&$ bat who managed to pull an Ethereal Dragon (not drake, dragon!) on DL34 together with a crystal drake. Together they nearly got me. Then, a stupid Anti-paladin hung up on the deep water (why is every level flooded?) started chain cursing. At 100+hp a pop, with 'zerkers that have a 0% saving throw, that is harsh. Barely survived that one as well.

I think Lite town makes things much more difficult. In normal play, I could count on Shiva's Boots (Hagen stiffed me, so speed will once again be a problem). Plus, the It and Gachapin clones usually provide some useful artifacts. And when all hope is lost, 'zerkers can skim the top of the dragon's lair, which is much safer that DL45 in Angband with no stairs near by ... So another death is lurking nearby, and this will be my last zerker attempt in the lite town setup! As is usual, my first attempt is always the most promising one, and its too bad that the Destroyer got that one.

Ishikawa stiffs (first ever sighting for a he-zerker) and another Malekith DL38 quest (completed this time) gives nothing but Lotharang. Sigh ...

Well, I finally gave in and scummed the Tower for a bit of gold. Enough to buy 3 stat potions and this armor of Diomedes (The ring of damage +19 came earlier ...) Still, I don't think it will help much. A single move from Garm took me from 1219hp to 520hp (OK, his single move was a double, and one of his actions was to breathe unresisted nether). But my vampiric weapon and a couple rounds of melee changed the tide. More spell books for reward, but boromir as well. Still, I'd like to make a saving throw now and then, so I need to stick with this Antimagic amulet.

Wow! I made it four hours! OK, I can't believe the little bit of Tower Scumming I did could mean the difference. We'll see ... At least I survived long enough to kill Stormy, and double vampirism is required for the zerker, I think. Still, its better to swap in as needed rather than aggravate. I am waaaay too deep for this guy ...

The stench of death is overwhelming ... surely, I can not last 5 hours??? But, at last, the stain of Diomedes is lifted, and I wield nothing but dungeon acquisitions! Boots and armor impress, but Santa's gifts did not. I got ... nothing! Geez, what a bitter fat old man ... he must be grumpy this time of year.

Now, lack of telepathy could be a problem ...

OMG! 5 hours of life :) :) Only 7 more to go, and I *have* to win! Levels are seeming easy now, but that is deceptive. All it takes is a moment of carelessness ... or bad luck.

I've tried carrying potions in my inventory, but they blow up immediately. I'm not sure what to do about that ... at some point, I will need some healing. But for now, dual vampirism allowed me to finish off the Defiler at *full* hp :)

6 hours ... simply amazing! This guy is weaker than He-man, but that is probably a result of Terror Mask, Harness of Hell (I have it at home) and Shiva's boots (what are the odds of finding these?). Also, my lead "vanilla" vampiric weapon is deceptively un-powerful.

So, fire immunity off Azaghal, but I'd really prefer ... I mean *really* prefer ... cold immunity. Only 3 stock items have it, and two of those are rings of power! Well, maybe I'll score a lucky rand-art shooter ...

111 uniques down. 940hp damage per round ('zerkers need 1500 or so to be end game worthy). 1756 hp (need at least 2000 plus the ability to carry potions). I'm not sure what my end game strategy will be, but hanging out below about DL80 is insta-death to good dragons. That's sky drakes if I am unlucky, but usually one can survive those. The real baddies are GWoP, and when they start showing up, look out! So probably, I need to sprint to the finish line once I have the requisite power. !Enlightenment to spot the closest stairs and maybe 20 combined *healing* and life. !healing is pretty worthless for end game tactics, except maybe if you are fighting a blinking unicorn.

Multiple close calls. A silly Keeper of Secrets, all alone and without buddies, is good for about 1200hp of damage. Dio Brando had me down to 300hp! It seems I need more power ... To that effect, my first tweak is to swap out Gimli for Crypt Creep. Both have [M, which isn't yet a necessity (that will change once Hand of Doom makes an appearance), but does offer about 40 extra points of AC. My second tweak is Boromir for a tad more melee damage. But I would really like a rand art weapon with vampirism. And I found one!! Its sitting in the museum, though.

Looking for Brand. So far, every unique that could, has stiffed me. Even Pip stiffed me ... Dworkin, of course. But Brand has the best artifact of all! Come, on buddy, where's your crossbow?

The Speed Story
Race: +4
Class: +4
Equip: +1
Rings: 1 at +2
Boots: 1 at +2
Other: Gimli at +3.

Its been tough going so far on the speed front. Were it not for my racial bonus, I'm sure I'd be dead already. My next 'zerker is returning to normal towns and the Cloning Pits ... :)

Phew ... 8 hours survived. My speed woes continue. Probably, I should just shut up and wear my precious +2 ring of speed, and matching pretty +2 boots of speed. Now that I have Soulsword, I don't need the excellent resistance set from those nifty, but slow rand-art boots.

Interesting combos:
[1] Hypnos breathes inertia. Speed goes to -1. No problem, I can still take him :) Hypnos teleports you away. Doh! -1 speed on DL72 ain't recommended ...

[2] Wall breaking trap with big poison dragons. 10 or so Venom wyrms. Sprinkle in one disintegration vortex to both let em all out, and to open things up so a trailing Durahan can have fun summoning. Dual vampirism wins the day!

So, +9 speed from race/class. +0 from equipment. I could boost speed up to +13, but I really need at least +25 before going any deeper. DL76 quest is often Loki or Azriel, and I'm not powerful enough for that yet.

I'm gettin' there ... First RoS was +2, and that happened a while back. Now I hit a superb level. Next RoS was Tulkas, at a whopping +4! Then, a real RoS + 4! Wow! Then another. +3 this time. Holy Hastings, Batman! I rock :)

All sarcasm aside, I can hot swap Tulkas for mandatory warning in Frakir as needed, and keep my +4 speed ring for permanent wearing. Since I need fire resistance, I'll suck up the -1 speed boots and wear Tetsu-geta. Stunning damage output at 1690. All resistances. Good hp at 2041. So so speed at +16. I really need a good +13 or so ring to make me happy. Or Ringil ...

I'm steering clear of vaults. I can't kill the Destroyer without 3 or 4 *healing* so I better not risk another destroyer death ...

Time to start carrying !Healing after Tiamat nearly got me (300hp). My fault too, as I didn't lead her to better anti-summoning and she got a GWoB, which required me to waste 320hp on massacre ... I should have swapped for Stormy as well. She dropped the glaive of pain, and destruction.

Its getting close to time to sprint for the finish line. Better rings of speed are bound to show up at this rate. Geez, I'm up to +7 already :)

Damage: 1768.
Hp: 2111.
Uniques Killed: 166.

Go! Go, He-bug!

CL76 quest was Combat, who came with Gerard, who blood cursed for Yig, Atlas, a GWoB and 100 other monsters! Combat blinked and showered with rockets! Close, and I needed 2 !healing. So I decided it was now or never, having gotten Crimson off Combat for enough speed at last.

An amazing dash to the finish line!!! I just grabbed all my booty, and enlightened every level, dashing for the shoots down. I was hoping to avoid fighting the Unicorn and the Destroyer, but sadly, the latter jumped me and cost 10 !healing or so. I was avoiding using the *healing* and life, as I would need that later, surely! He was followed up by Loki (actually, I think I used like 7 healing for the destroyer, but had to top of my hit points before facing Loki who has mana storms).

Wow! And then there's Oberon, who cost me a precious *healing*. I swapped to stormy, and ate him up though. He dropped a couple artifacts (one was Thror!) but I didn't want to recall for id. So, the final battle was on!

I got the jump on the Serpent for 3 or 4 stars before the summons got nasty. It sucks to get dungeon guardians in lite town mode! But I got Jormungand, who was awful. I kept getting knocked back by shattering rock, spotting the Serpent time to do nasty stuff. Fortunately, my 10 *healing* and 4 life held out nicely, and I cleaned up all his summons as well.

Thror, like I said, came from Oberon, and I didn't use it at all this game, but it has the shards resistance I need and can now replace my dragon boots :)

Finally! A 'zerker winner without unusual rooms ... That was tough! My advice: Don't dally. Once you have the power, just dive for the win.
