__NOTOC__

This is a Hard difficulty dungeon populated with many nasty minions such as Illusions and Animated Armors. The boss is an elite version of Animated Armor with awful stats, but has 20 levels of death protection. This is the only dungeon where the Orb of Lusory ([[File:Orb_of_Lusory2.jpg]]) spawns. It is unlocked by completing [[Creeplight Ruins]]

==Overview==

===Hard Mode===
'''Monsters:''' Animated armors, Wraiths, Warlocks, Steel Golems, and Illusions.

'''Boss:''' {{Monster|name=The Indomitable|type=Animated Armor|hp=190|attack=62|other=[[File:Death_protection.png|link=Death Protection]] (20)}}

'''Special Rules:''' The Orb of Lusory spawns here: it is an item that grants 50% magic resistance. It can be destroyed to get rid of all illusions.

===Vicious Mode===
'''Monsters:''' Animated armors, Wraiths, Warlocks, Steel Golems, and Illusions.

'''Boss:''' {{Monster|name=The Indomitable|type=Animated Armor|hp=222|attack=73|other=[[File:Death_protection.png|link=Death Protection]] (50)}}

Unlike the hard version of this dungeon you cannot get rid of the illusions, unless you kill them.

==Strategy==

'''Suggested Classes:''' Bloodmage, Monk, Paladin, Sorcerer, Transmuter

=== Hard ===

This boss has a considerable amount of staying power, so it is recommended you play a class that lasts long. The 4 main classes are Bloodmages, because of the considerable amount of fireballs you can throw, Monks, because their resistances and their considerable regen fighting capabilities, Paladins, because HALPMEH and resistances are a great counteraction to low damage, and Sorcerers, because the mana shield takes out an additional layer of death protection. Also, make sure not to incur any weakening and lower resist, if it matters.

If you play a Bloodmage use your fireballs to kill things above your level and bring a battle mage ring so you can regen fight monsters. When you get to the boss, use all your fireballs until you run out of mana. Then, turn on BLUDTUPOWA and reveal 3 tiles, bringing the boss to 31 hp. If you are at least level 7 you should deal 35 damage, removing another layer of death protection. When you run out of tiles use your mana potions, blood pools, and health potions to finish him off.

If you are playing a monk, you should be regen fighting sorcerers and wraiths a few levels above you. You shouldn't do this too much because you need to save enough tiles to out regen the boss. Use taurog, and avoid weakening or lower resists. When you reach the boss begin fighting until you cannot, then reveal tiles till your hp is above 31. Once your hp is high enough, assuming you deal enough damage, you should be able to take off another layer of death protection. Use your Unstoppable Fury and health potions to try to outlast him once you run out of tiles.

If you play a Paladin, try to maximize out your resistances so HALPMEH will be most effective. Avoid fighting wraiths, illusions, and steel golems, as the mana burn lower resists, and weakening can be crippling. When you cannot gain any more levels begin fighting the boss, but make sure there are tiles left to regen fight. When you fight the boss, get him as low as possible, then explore three tiles. Then, use HALPMEH and tank as many hits as you can. Then continue repeating this until you run tiles. Then use all other resources to outlast the boss.

If you are playing a sorcerer, use the your normal sorcerer strategy. Just make sure you don't get an untimely mana burn or any weakening. The mana shield takes out 2 death protections, so you should have no problem out lasting the boss.

=== Vicious ===

The Indomitable is the boss that takes the most hits out of any in the game. Not only that, but he has okay damage too! You need a character with EXTREME staying power. The only two characters that provide this are the monk and the paladin. You must avoid steel golems and illusions at all cost, because their lower resist or weakening could be the difference between victory and defeat. Mana burn can be crippling, so you may want to avoid wraiths too. Animated armors are to be avoided, unless you can take off a death protection and you were going to explore anyways, because they expend your precious tiles. Unfortunately, this leaves only sorcerers which will be the main targets in this dungeon. At all costs, avoid exploring if you can!

If you choose to play a monk, you need a HALPMEH glyph. Since most of The Indomitable's staying power comes from death protections, you don't need very high damage. You do need to have damage that you can still take off a death protection after you regenerate above 36 hp. When you fight the boss, you are going to need a colossal amount of tiles, so explore extremely sparingly. When fighting the boss, whenever you can't take a shot, regenerate to just above 36, he will regenerate to 31 or 21, and if you do enough damage you should take off a death protection anyways. Finally, when you run out of tiles, start using potions, or god boons like protection, to elongate your staying power as long as possible.

If you choose to play a Paladin, you must find a way to achieve max resists. One way to do this is to take Dracul or Taurog and The Pactmaker. Take the pact that gives resistances whenever you damage a new enemy and the piety from Taurog, or Dracul if need be, should cover the piety expense. Once again, when you are ready to take on The Indomitable, you must have a ton of tiles left to regenerate throughout the battle, because if you don't have tiles you won't even come close.

One strategy which works surprisingly well is the transmuter. The transmuter works surprisingly well, because not only does he have unlimited spells as long as there are walls. Also, if you find PISORF or another form of knockback it takes of an additional layer of death protection. Also, because of the transmuter's ability to gain mana from walls PISORF costs no mana, so it removes a layer of death protection for free.

Useful items are any sort of resist giving items, schadenfreude potions, and anything that gives knockback.

==Quests==

=== Hard ===
The only quest in the Halls of Steel is The Dancing Blades which grants 250 gold when you win the dungeon.

=== Vicious ===
No quests.

Anyone want to start putting up some information about the beta somewhere?
[[Beta]]
:Some great info would be on:
:*How to unlock new classes (are the 6 special classes playable in beta?!?).
:*Strategies for beating "Hard" dungeons.

:Strategies for beating the new boss monsters like:
:*Herr, Derr, and Herp the Foreman. (Magma Mines) Opposite immunities and 3 bosses instead of 2 or 1.
:*Ssseth the naga. (Ick Swamp) Crazy high health and weakens.
:*The Stone and Earth Guardians. (Rock Garden) Opposite immunities.
:*Anoobis. (Creeplight Ruins) Reviving minions.
:*Stheno. (Hexx Ruins) Prevents mid-fight levelups against boss.
:*Tower of Goo and the Super Meat Man. (The Slime Pit) Minions reduce immunities, cause corrosion, and either have high health or physical resistance.
:*Getanadafix. (Druid Grove)

:What reward is there for killing Yin and Yang? Why do they no longer show up as a subdungeon for me?

I, Crawly McCrawlsa, solemnly say... The Viscous missions are ARRRRRRGGGGHH.

And the naga city?
That's by far one of the hardest ones. Proof of how far I've gotten on this impossible friggin mission. TOO HARD AAAG. Killed 5 bosses in a row. I definitely had at least 4 left to go still. The Goat of 1 hit killing, 3 other regulars, and the uber naga with an added 5 levels of death protection onto his already insane stats.

Wojo:

Anyone want to start putting up some information about the beta somewhere?

I've started posting the new god information as I've been unlocking them. But experimenting is annoying and takes up dungeon runs.

Not to mention all the new bosses, vicious missions, the tower, etc.

I post most of my frustrations on my page... [[User:Wojo|Crawly McCrawlsa]] 23:24, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

[[Beta]]
:Some great info would be on:
:*How to unlock new classes (are the 6 special classes playable in beta?!?).
:*Strategies for beating "Hard" dungeons.

:Strategies for beating the new boss monsters like:
:*Herr, Derr, and Herp the Foreman. (Magma Mines) Opposite immunities and 3 bosses instead of 2 or 1.
:*Ssseth the naga. (Ick Swamp) Crazy high health and weakens.
:*The Stone and Earth Guardians. (Rock Garden) Opposite immunities.
:*Anoobis. (Creeplight Ruins) Reviving minions.
:*Stheno. (Hexx Ruins) Prevents mid-fight levelups against boss.
:*Tower of Goo and the Super Meat Man. (The Slime Pit) Minions reduce immunities, cause corrosion, and either have high health or physical resistance.
:*Getanadafix. (Druid Grove)

:What the heck should I spend all my money on since I can't seem to upgrade anything else?

:What reward is there for killing Yin and Yang? Why do they no longer show up as a subdungeon for me?

:What is in all the different subdungeons?

:And lemme know what you post? Cuz I'm progressing pretty damn slowly through some of these dungeons... ---- [[User:Wojo|Wojo]] 06:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

:And don't even get me started on the "VICIOUS" level difficulty missions... ---- [[User:Wojo|Wojo]] 18:54, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I, Crawly McCrawlsa, solemnly say... The Viscous missions are ARRRRRRGGGGHH.
I've managed to get to the final final dragon boss in her lair after her gaurds, but could only get her to around 15% health.

And the naga city?
That's a hard one. Proof of how far I've gotten on this impossible friggin mission. TOO HARD AAAG. Killed 5 bosses in a row. I definitely had at least 2 left to go still. The Goat of 1 hit killing, and the uber naga with an added 5 levels of death protection onto his already insane stats. Viscous difficulty missions need nerfing imho.

Wojo: /* The Earthmother */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Gods

2011-11-17T22:37:02Z

Wojo: /* The Earthmother */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Gods

2011-11-15T07:38:55Z

Wojo: /* The Earthmother */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Gods

2011-11-15T07:37:27Z

Wojo: /* The Earthmother */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Wojo:

Anyone want to start putting up some information about the beta somewhere?

:Some great info would be on:
:*How to unlock new classes (are the 6 special classes playable in beta?!?).
:*Strategies for beating "Hard" dungeons.

:Strategies for beating the new boss monsters like:
:*Herr, Derr, and Herp the Foreman. (Magma Mines) Opposite immunities and 3 bosses instead of 2 or 1.
:*Ssseth the naga. (Ick Swamp) Crazy high health and weakens.
:*The Stone and Earth Guardians. (Rock Garden) Opposite immunities.
:*Anoobis. (Creeplight Ruins) Reviving minions.
:*Stheno. (Hexx Ruins) Prevents mid-fight levelups against boss.
:*Tower of Goo and the Super Meat Man. (The Slime Pit) Minions reduce immunities, cause corrosion, and either have high health or physical resistance.
:*Getanadafix. (Druid Grove)

:What the heck should I spend all my money on since I can't seem to upgrade anything else?

:Is the sword that stacks base damage on level up better than the sword that adds 1% bonus damage per kill?

:What reward is there for killing Yin and Yang?

:What is in all the different subdungeons?

:And lemme know what you post? Cuz I'm progressing pretty damn slowly through these dungeons labeled "Hard". It's Taking me tons of playthroughs to beat them. ---- [[User:Wojo|Wojo]] 06:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

:And don't even get me started on the "VICIOUS" level difficulty missions... ---- [[User:Wojo|Wojo]] 18:54, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I, Crawly McCrawlsa, solemnly say... The Viscous missions are TOO DIFFICULT.
I've managed to get to the final final dragon boss in her lair after killing all her gaurds, but with no items or even enough health to attack her once.

And the naga city?
Here's PROOF of how far I've gotten on this impossible friggin mission. TOO HARD AAAG. Killed 5 bosses in a row. Had at least 2 left to go still. The Goat of 1 hit killing, and the uber naga with an added 5 levels of death protection onto his already insane stats. Viscous difficulty missions need nerfing imho.

Gods

2011-11-06T09:01:01Z

Wojo: /* Binlor Ironshield */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Gods

2011-11-06T08:26:11Z

Wojo: /* The Earthmother */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Gods

Wojo: /* Beta Summary */ EARTHMOTHER ADDED!!!!!

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Gods

2011-10-24T18:09:50Z

Wojo: /* Glowing Guardian */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Gods

2011-10-20T23:29:34Z

Wojo: /* Binlor Ironshield */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Anyone want to start putting up some information about the beta somewhere?

:Some great info would be on:
:*How to unlock new classes (are the 6 special classes playable in beta?!?).
:*Strategies for beating "Hard" dungeons.

:Strategies for beating the new boss monsters like:
:*Herr, Derr, and Herp the Foreman. (Magma Mines) Opposite immunities and 3 bosses instead of 2 or 1.
:*Ssseth the naga. (Ick Swamp) Crazy high health and weakens.
:*The Stone and Earth Guardians. (Rock Garden) Opposite immunities.
:*Anoobis. (Creeplight Ruins) Reviving minions.
:*Stheno. (Hexx Ruins) Prevents mid-fight levelups against boss.
:*Tower of Goo and the Super Meat Man. (The Slime Pit) Minions reduce immunities, cause corrosion, and either have high health or physical resistance.
:*Getanadafix. (Druid Grove)

:What the heck should I spend all my money on since I can't seem to upgrade anything else?

:Is the sword that stacks base damage on level up better than the sword that adds 1% bonus damage per kill?

:What reward is there for killing Yin and Yang?

:What is in all the different subdungeons?

:And lemme know what you post? Cuz I'm progressing pretty damn slowly through these dungeons labeled "Hard". It's Taking me hours of playthroughs to beat them. ---- [[User:Wojo|Wojo]] 06:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

:How do you get past a dragon's magically barricaded treasure hold? Do you need to somehow beat the impossibly strong dragon boss elsewhere?

:And don't even get me started on the "VICIOUS" level difficulty missions... ---- [[User:Wojo|Wojo]] 18:54, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Gods

2011-10-15T16:31:53Z

Wojo: /* Glowing Guardian */

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

__TOC__

===Alpha Summary===

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. However, no more that one conversion is possible during a game. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.

===Beta Summary===

Gods work much the same way in the beta version, but all the gods that are implemented have their boons and piety actions changed up, making them in some cases just slightly different (e.g. Tikki Tooki) and in others encouraging an almost entirely different playstyle than before (e.g. Mystera Annur). Some boons can even be used more than once, ''usually'' with an increased Piety cost each time; they will be marked Repeat on the chart below, usually with a cost of "X + Y*n Piety" (n being the number of times the boon has already been used).

In addition, no altars will spawn at the beginning of the game. Occasionally, the player will find a subdungeon with a particular challenge; this challenge, when conquered, will convert the player to the god they just discovered (even if they were already worshipping another one) and allow this god's altars to spawn in any dungeon. Generally, 3 altars will spawn per dungeon (assuming at least 3 gods have been discovered).

Two other major changes have occurred to the way altars work. First is Desecration: If worshipping a god, you can smash up another god's altar to gain 25 piety and immunity from the next "major punishment" you would receive; in turn, however, the god whose altar you desecrated will punish you as if you had been a follower but reached 0 piety. Second, you can convert from any god to any other god, at any time, at the cost of half your piety (you must have at least 50 piety to do so). The exception is, naturally, if you destroyed an altar, in which case you can't damn well worship there, can you? Sometimes you can really be quite daft.

Anyone want to start putting up some information about the beta somewhere?

Some great info would be on:
How to unlock new classes (are the 6 special classes playable in beta?!?).
Strategies for beating "Hard" dungeons.

Strategies for beating the new boss monsters like:
-Herr, Derr, and Herp the Foreman. (Magma Mines) Opposite immunities and 3 bosses instead of 2 or 1.
-Ssseth the naga. (Ick Swamp) Crazy high health and weakens.
-The Stone and Earth Guardians. (Rock Garden) Opposite immunities.
-Anoobis. (Creeplight Ruins) Reviving minions.
-Stheno. (Hexx Ruins) Prevents mid-fight levelups against boss.
-Tower of Goo and the Super Meat Man. (The Slime Pit) Minions reduce immunities, cause corrosion, and either have high health or physical resistance.
-Getanadafix. (Druid Grove)

What the heck should I spend all my money on since I can't seem to upgrade anything else?

Is the sword that stacks base damage on level up better than the sword that adds 1% bonus damage per kill?

What reward is there for killing Yin and Yang?

What is in all the different subdungeons?

And lemme know what you post? Cuz I'm progressing pretty damn slowly through these dungeons labeled "Hard". It's Taking me hours of playthroughs to beat them. -

''You may also be looking for the [[Vampire|monster]] version of the vampire.''

The '''vampire''' is one of the [[classes|special races]] in Desktop Dungeons. It is unlocked by clearing the [[Crypt]] with an [[assassin]]. Vampires gradually lose health on their own, but they drain blood to heal themselves, be it from living or fallen creatures. Additionally, they cast spells using their health rather than their mana.

===Skills===

* Gains 7 Base Damage per level, instead of 5
* No Health Regen - you lose 1 HP per tile explored instead (but the damage from exploring a tile cannot kill you)
* First Strike
* Immune to Poison
* Immune to Mana Burn
* Can sense the locations of all monsters of equal or lower level
* Spells cost Health instead of Mana
* Restores 10% of Max Health from blood pools
* 5% Life Steal, gains an additional 5% for every glyph converted
* Every next spell cost one more HP, than last; cost sets to normal after hand-to-hand fight or after exploring a tile
* [[HALPMEH]] doesn't work.

Life Steal causes you to get back a percentage of your Total Damage you dealt as Health when you use a melee attack. So if you hit a monster for 50 damage, you'd recover 12 Health with 25% Life Steal.

===General Strategy===

Vampire is tricky at the start; once you've gained a couple of levels though, your increased Health and Damage makes taking on almost any enemy a breeze. However, First Strike does not let you go before other enemies with First Strike, and the lack of regeneration means that [[Gorgon]]s can pose a minor threat if you're not careful. The increased Base Damage means that effects that increase your Damage Bonus are even more potent though.

Once you get [[BURNDAYRAZ]], the Vampire can beat bosses almost immediately, because they draw mana from health, and at level 4, you can have, say, 52 health, which gives you 6 casts: 52-6-7-8-9-10-11=1, where each cast costs one additional HP, for a total of 96 damage, which is enough to take out most level 7 monsters, possibly level 8 if you can take advantage of First Strike. Note that the Health that you'll spend casting [[BURNDAYRAZ]] until a monster can be killed instantly with First Strike is usually much less than the amount of Health that you'd lose by allowing the enemy to hit you.

Vampire is the only race/class in the game, that don't need exploration control - actually, you should explore as much of dungeon as you can. After first exploration you could start attacking - even with 1 HP you can kill a bunch of monsters. Level up will heal you; from this moment you can attack monsters 1-2 level higher than yours.

Try to save bloodpools for later but use your potions early -- at high levels you usually wouldn't need them (except for the Factory). Due to the Vampire's nature, neither [[BLUDTUPOWA]] nor [[HALPMEH]] is of any use, they should be converted on sight.

If you are lucky enough to find [[CYDSTEPP]] and push your Life Steal up high enough, you can set up for boss battles by leaving as many opponents (without First Strike) as possible one hit away from death. Hit the boss, kill someone to regenerate enough HP for CYDSTEPP, cast, then repeat until the boss is dead.

=== Deity Choice===

Perhaps ironically, Vampires are arguably more likely than other classes to benefit from worshiping a god. Since you'll be exploring as much of the dungeon as possible from the get-go, you're more likely to find most or all of the available shrines before even advancing to Level 2, which means more opportunities to gain Piety; the odds that you'll discover a shrine too late in the game for it to make any difference are also vastly reduced. Knowing all of your options before picking a God is tremendously helpful, especially if you take into account the items available from the shops that you will likely have discovered by this point as well.

Be aware that both [[The Earthmother]] and [[Glowing Guardian]] disapprove of Life Steal; attacking a monster will cause [[Glowing Guardian]] to immediately renounce you, while [[The Earthmother]] will both penalize you an (undetermined) amount of piety and set your Life Steal to 0%. Since there's no penalty for being renounced by [[Glowing Guardian]], worshiping him for the one-time health boost may still be worthwhile if no better Gods are available.

While neither Mana Burn nor the reduction to Max Mana that accompanies [[Taurog|Taurog's]] Boons affects the Vampire, it will be difficult to gain Piety with him if you're relying heavily on spellcasting. However, choosing [[Taurog]] and converting all of your [[Glyphs]] (both for Piety and for Life Steal) can be a viable choice, especially if a number of items which boost your combat effectiveness are available. With the right items and the Rage boon, a Vampire becomes nearly unstoppable.

While [[Mystera Annur]] provides boons which boost the effectiveness of [[BURNDAYRAZ]], the fact that worshiping her effectively negates the Vampire's Life Steal makes her an extremely poor choice under most circumstances.

[[The Pactmaker]] is always a good option; you're likely to have explored as much of the map as possible from an early level, meaning a good chunk of starting Piety. With a little luck, it's entirely possible to purchase Learning before having killed a single foe.

[[Dracul]] is an interesting choice, although there are both pros and cons to be considered. On the one hand, it's risky for a Vampire to reduce his Max Health; doing so reduces the amount of Health returned by blood pools, and also limits your ability to chain [[BURNDAYRAZ]]. On the other hand, First Strike somewhat reduces the importance of a high HP total, while Bloodhunger stacks with a Vampire's natural Life Steal - making it possible to reach a whopping 50% Life Steal. When [[Dracul|Dracul's]] bonuses to Attack Strength and Resistances are added in, the Vampire becomes incredibly difficult to kill - especially if items which further increase Damage or Resistance are available
. As always, however, be careful of choosing [[Dracul]] on maps with lots of Undead.

Bear in mind when choosing [[Mystera Annur]], [[The Pactmaker]], or [[Dracul]] that Vampires gain no benefit from boons which increase your Max Mana.

A final option (testing needed?) is the [[Glowing Guardian]] + [[CYDSTEPP]] option. [[Glowing Guardian]] rewards piety for being saved by death and for using [[CYDSTEPP]]. If you have less health than it costs to use the glyph, it will immediately cast and save you from dying for a gain of 3 piety. You can do this as many times as you wish until you have 100 piety. At this point, you can easily transfer to [[The Earthmother]] or [[Binlor Ironshield]] and take their best boons (If they are available, and if you can avoid their retribution). Or simply stick with the Glowing Guardian's boons.

===Challenge Modes===

====Snake Pit====

This is as straightforward as it gets. Explore as much as possible, to find [[BURNDAYRAZ]] and all level 1 [[Serpents]]s and [[Naga]]s you can locate. Kill enough of them to go to level 2. Continue exploring if possible and repeat the process with the level 2 Serpents and Nagas. By level 3 you can probably start using BURNDAYRAZ to destroy high-level Enemies. Calculate the amount of damage you can dish out with the health you've got (heal it with blood-pools or potions if it can help take a higher-level one). This should lead to a chain of level-ups culminating around level 7. At 7, you can take out [[Gorgon#Boss info|Medusa]] with a fireball volley. At 8 take out [[Serpent#Boss info|Jormungandr]] the same way - you should have plenty of potions left too, so this should be easy as pie.

====Crypt====

Use the same method as above (see Snake Pit), except this time concentrate on [[Wraith]]s and [[Vampire]]s at the start (after thoroughly exploring everything you can explore!). Go for [[Zombie]]s only if you don't have any better target. You may want to set up a midfight level-up for your encounter with [[Zombie#Boss info|Frank the Zombie]].

====Library====

Yup, it's the same trick here. Your favoured targets should be the [[Warlock]]s and [[Imp]]s, as they possess the least health. Since you'll be exploring the entire map anyway, Imps shouldn't be a bother at all. Go for [[Warlock#Boss info|Aequitas]] first.

====Factory====

Now this is the truly challenging part. In the factory, none of the enemies are as easy to take down as in other challenge dungeons. The [[Animated Armour]] requires a set number of hits to kill, the [[Meat man|Meat Men]] have huge health, and the [[Golem]]s are resistant to your BURNDAYRAZ. Patience here is the key, as is the help of [[The Pactmaker]], so make sure you can locate him early (but don't join him yet!).

Begin by exploring as much of the dungeon as you can. Get as many good shop [[items]] as you can find (it helps being loaded with cash, so come prepared). Also find BURNDAYRAZ, you can't win without it. Once set, start taking out level 1 Golems. If you have good Lifesteal, you can take on Animated Armour and maybe even Meat Men - the regeneration will keep you safe, just make sure it says "SAFE" before attacking. Before leveling up to level 2, assuming you have explored thoroughly, join Pactmaker. This will net you a large amount of Piety from all the exploration.

At level 2, continue exploring if you can, and see if you can take out slightly higher-level targets. The moment you can't explore any further, level up again. At level 3 you can start taking on level 4 monsters, or level 5 Golems. Again the idea is to level up using as few monsters as you can find, but remember that lower-level monsters can be killed for Health (thanks to Lifesteal). The moment you have 80 Piety, immediately take Pactmaker's Health boon.

At level 7 make sure you have several monsters to level up with. Do not kill them before you start the boss fights! If you're low on health, try to replenish it by attacking lower-level Animated Armour: Your lifesteal should outweigh the damage they do to you, increasing your health instead of decreasing it for every attack. However do try to keep a few of them alive. Blast Super Meat Man with spells until you have about 50% of your health left. Then attack an Animated Armour to reduce your BURNDAYRAZ cost back to 6. Go at the meat man again. Then kill off a few of the monsters left to regain Health, but don't level up yet. Spend as much BURNDAYRAZ as you can still afford on the Super Meat Man, and then finally level up and finish him.

This will put you high up in level 8 or low in level 9. Repeat the process, making sure you are healthy and have enough low-level armors to attack (if any remain at all). Use the same tactic against [[Golem#Boss info|Iron Man]], attacking an Armour half-way through your health to reduce the cost of BURNDAYRAZ. Remember that this time you can use Potions and also drink up blood-stains on the map - this will be extremely helpful, as it can replenish your Health twice over if you've killed enough monsters. Also remember that when you are 10 points below leveling up, you can use Pactmaker's "Experience" boon to push you over the edge.

As an alternate strategy, CYDSTEPP with BURNDAYRAZ can make the Factory extremely easy regardless of which gods are available; kill only the strongest creatures as you level up, spend the rest of your HP weakening the armors until the map is completely explored, then get the rest down to one hit kills. From that point, you'll be able to just alternate hits on the bosses with killing others to regenerate HP for the next cast of CYDSTEPP.
