== Revenants ==
Whenever an XP-valuable monster is slain in Hexx Ruins, a Revenant of equal level rises in its place. Revenants are bloodless, grant no XP, and have a poison attack. As well, whenever any monster dies, every Revenant will suddenly move in to surround you. If you don't kill the Revenants, they will quickly swarm you. Monsters killed within subdungeons do not rise as Revenants.

== Stheno ==
The boss of Hexx Ruins, Stheno, has the abililty to absorb strength from the other monsters in the dungeon. When you first attack Stheno, every other monster will disappear and be converted into physical and magic resist. This also includes Revenants, but not monsters that reside in subdungeons.

== Strategy ==
Your top priority is to avoid being surrounded by Revenants. These monsters are not overwhelmingly strong as individuals, but their poison attack means they can exhaust you as you fight and in large numbers they can pin you down and overwhelm you. If you have the HALPMEH glyph, you can try to pick the Revenants off one at a time and then use your magic to cure the poison. You can also use the IMAWAL glyph to turn them to stone. They're not worth experience points anyways, so it's no loss to you to brick 'em. However, IMAWAL can also cut off your avenues of escape, and may increase your chances of being trapped by Revenants in the future.

The best way to stay safe from Revenants is to avoid creating too many to begin with. If you fight one or two powerful monsters, you will create one or two powerful Revenants. Although these will be dangerous opponents, there will not be enough of them at any given time to trap you. A swarm of 6 or 7 weaker Revenants is a much greater threat. By focusing on killing stronger monsters, you can level up very quickly, and by the time you've created a large number of Revenant you should have already gained enough levels to kill the weaker ones in a single blow.

Once you've figured out how you're going to deal with Revenants, your next problem is Stheno. If there are ''any'' monsters left on the level, Stheno will grow stronger when you begin the boss battle. Clearing out the entire dungeon is critical. IMAWAL is an effective way to remove any stragglers you don't want to bother fighting. It's not like you can get a mid-boss level up anyway. The best answer to this is brute force; find a combination of items, glyphs, and deities to make your character as powerful as possible a plough through those monsters, and then the boss.

== Suggested Classes ==
===Paladin===
He begins with the HALPMEH glyph, and the dungeon is almost exclusively physical damage. There's no more straightforward approach than this. The Orc, Human, and Elf Races are suggested for Paladins (prepare the HP->Attack booster swap preparation if playing as Orc or Elf)

===Rogue===
With first strike and high damage, Rogues have an easier time getting 1-hit kills against Revenants. The difficulty will be improving their durability so they can survive more powerful enemies. The Orc race is recommended; you will need to find some way to boost your hit points (the "Absolution" boon of the Glowing Guardian and "Boost Health" boon of Jehora Jeheyu work best)

===Warlord===
Using CYDSTEPP, a Warlord can continue fighting effectively even while poisoned and at 1 hit point, allowing him to kill Revenants without leaving himself helpless. The Orc and Gnome races are recommended for Warlords.

[[File:Beta gameplay.png|right|thumb|350px|''Alpha version of Desktop Dungeons'']]

If you've never played a roguelike before, prepare to die, because you will! A lot! ''Desktop Dungeons'' was designed as a quick 5-15 minute mini-roguelike experience for you to enjoy without having to lose yourself for hours in the more complex roguelikes such as ''[[Wikipedia:Linley's Dungeon Crawl|Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup]]''. (''DD'' is also heavily inspired by ''DCSS''.)

In the coming weeks this will be established as the #1 source for information about the PC game ''Desktop Dungeons''. Registration is easier than most forums; feel free to contribute [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_LimSusan Lim] if you spot any inaccurate information.
