Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

I just can't see how you managed to miss the DAIN door AND get to the place where you're now after using the cross key. :shock: What can I say, I'm talented? :roll: I did get the Ruby Key , so that's a plus. No going back to the JoW for this guy anymore (hopefully?) What's crazy is I figured out th...

Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

After several tries, figured out the Couatl Chamber. Got the two keys I think I need from DAIN. Went back through the DDD and I think I used the cross key in the wrong lock...ended up back in an area I'm already familiar with. Managed to release a literal flood of demons and creepy black ghosts. I t...

Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

Re Black Flame Room in DDD: again, you don't have to go there but if you manage to defeat the flames you'll be rewarded. The key you see in the corner is not gold - it's one of the keys that you don't need but that can become very useful. It's the Sapphire key. Does it ring a bell? It's used to ope...

Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

Update: Cleared out KU pretty thoroughly I think. Did the fighter's charge bottom-to-top, but no sweat there. Left poor Mr Scorpion at the top alive...he seemed lonely. :cry: Back, now, at the DDD.....*sigh*...at some point I'll figure out where I am supposed to go here. Can't seem to get past the f...

Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

Back to it after a bit of a break due to real life workload getting in the way (not to mention the Olympics). Made my way back to Neta for awhile but didn't find much new. Got the staff from the mummy room this time through. Still don't have the patience/cojones to explore much of the muncher area. ...

Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

Update: I cleared out the demons and rock monsters populating the section of the DDD that I ended up in. Explored a bit and mapped the area as best I could. Never got the nerve up to try to blast my way through the room full of Black Flames ...some vorpal blades sure would be nice... :( After a bit ...

Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

Update: I've taken them into CSB...mapping this is an adventure unto itself. Chose Neta as my starting way, after a little frustration nabbing all the 'supplies for the quick'. Including at one point taking 200 falling damage and the being asked to surrender all my possessions...I reloaded :roll: Be...

Re: First (grownup) stab at CSB

So it sounded like two is twice as good as one for a first run. I took Chani and Wutse (Mulan in this game), looking for chars with decent balance across all their abilities in anticipation of needing to survive CSB. Chani is maybe my hands-down favorite DM char for solo runs, but Wutse looked (on p...

First (grownup) stab at CSB

Hey All, Been lurking here on and off for a year or two. I found CSBWin a year ago during a fit of nostalgia and spent an awful lot of time browsing the DM forums. I have stayed mostly out of the CSB forums because I could never come close to beating it as a little kid on my parents' Atari ST, and d...
