![]() ![]() The shield effect is +50 AC - not very much, but better than nothing, as our base AC is a measily 131.Īlso at this time, I discover that the Mindcrafting detection spell, Precognition, actually does show staircases on the map briefly: They both have stacking durations, so we effectively have an indefinite combination of haste+berserk (Adrenaline Channeling) and shield+temporary elemental resists (Character Armor). While we wait, we chain-cast Adrenaline Channeling and Character Armor, two our of mindcrafting spells. Just north of the demons' former home is a staircase we entomb ourselves there and then camp out for awhile to let the junkarts recharge. Now both our junkarts of Genocide are recharging and unusable. We genocide the demon posse on this level, again. Naturally, demons, undead, and zephyr hounds tend to be the most annoying enemy types to deal with. The dungeon generator is biased towards those monster types in this dungeon they aren't the only types that show up, but they're more common than everything else by a significant margin. You may have noticed that there's an awful lot of demons, undead, and hounds around here. We spend an awful lot of time holed up in little prisons of rock, the better to focus our Black Hole, before we finally find a staircase in a small vault. Level 691 involves a running battle with two gigantic packs of Ethereal Hounds, though, who can phase through walls and breathe nether (naturally, for maximum damage). Uh, make that four stairs, though we do have a horde of Dreads bearing down on us. The game kindly gives us three downstairs in a row with a minimum of fuss. Well, we'll finish the dive "normally" anyway, at least to the extent that our tactics resemble anything like normal play. Then again, see Figure 1: Mitch the Mage. We could actually use this technique - of going up and down stairs - over and over again until a down staircase spawns in a convenient location, to rapidly and safely dive through the Nether Realm. Sure, we're next to a pack of wraiths, but those we can handle. So let's just take the stairs back up, then down again. When we left off, we were kind of surrounded: Last time we made it two-thirds of the way through the Nether Realm, a really awful place. ![]()
