Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)

Yeah as mentioned I've been using all the Thrust weapons (rapier -> Delta Blade -> Inquisitor) in DM since replaying it in RTC/CSBWin. Back in the day I wouldn't have really cared and probably just used what looked cool, because I was like, six or seven and not really thinking about it too much. Not...

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)

If you start closing the door on something, it tends to retreat pretty quickly...or as quickly as it can, even the stone golem dudes on Level Seven, which is how I kill them faster to get past the ones guarding the Inquisitor in the first place. And I hit them as much as I can in the meantime.

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)

Well I very rarely get hit (step-dance, woop woop) so even if I'd known about the lowered defence thing before, I don't think it would bother me.

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)

Diamond Edge is found lower down but Inquisitor is found later because you can't get to it until you've got through all the Ra doors on Level Seven. So really about the only thing I end up using it on is the Dragon.

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)

I found Stab to be too low damage for my liking, hence my preference for Thrust. I wouldn't know about any of the hidden defence changes or anything though - I've never read up on that kind of stuff. I can finish the game just fine as-is so haven't seen any need to seek out any fruther info like that.

Re: Dungeon Master Music

It's when you've left whatever DM2 calls its "Hall of Champions" and have climbed up the ladder to that starting base/safe room and then the first outdoor area. I also really like this track and downloaded it from somewhere many years ago - it's still in my music collection. I can play the...

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)

Best melée weapon - In DM, Inquisitor, followed by the Delta Blade, followed by the rapier, because I found the "thrust" attack seems to have the best damage-to-speed ratio, whereas some things like Hardcleave/Executioner are high damage but very low speed, so if you miss, it's a longer wa...

Re: Best champions - an analytical approach

I tend to play with two characters but still loot pretty much all the food I find (except worm rounds), eating cheese first because it's the heaviest, so by the time I finish the game I'm still working through my screamer slices and have had to leave a pile of dead dragon on the floor when it fell :...

Re: Best champions - an analytical approach

Yeah the Rat Room is just a bit more accessible, as you can use a skelly key to open the Central Stairwell right around the corner, assuming you've been finding the other keys to open other levels too, to more easily get back there. The Central Stairwell only goes up to Level Eight, so from there yo...

Re: Opening Chests

Yeah I think "back in the day" I would kite him to the stairs and do the "run up and down" thing, but returning to the game in later years I got the hang of the step dance and just do that instead. Doesn't take long :D.
