Does anyone have any spare ready-made RTC wallsets? Both the graphics and the txt file

It should work if you are playing the "standard issue" DM2 in RTC rather than a custom dungeon where the mechanics may be different. This may sound like a stupid question but are you using the correct table? Left to sell, right to buy.

Thanks.

Next stop - reincarnated Tiggy straight into RTC CSB with extra monsters.

I have just had a go at this. It was a lot easier than I thought to be honest. Tiggy had gained a few levels in all disciplines before leaving the starting area.

I only got killed once by the floating eyes near the start. Oh, and there was another time where I ran into my own fireball :lol:

The ...

You could probably do this in RTC:

Teleporter on top of a fake pit activated by party
Party enters teleporter
When the destination is reached, the party triggers a cut-scene that shows the fall animation
When the cut-scene is finished, the party has "landed" in the destination area

I have never actually tried this but I did once transfer Hissssa from the end of DM into CSB in RTC with the extra monsters set at 20 and with a secondary objective of killing every monster that I saw. Getting out of the worm room was extremely hard; I hid in the corridor leading to the "Run and ...

Yes, I agree that "Clockwise" is probably something that seemed like a great idea in theory but turned out too confusing.

Presumably, the rope experience thing is an oversight; you can gain some experience by using weapons without a monster in front of you (though not as much as if there was a ...

fix the compass as in some versions of the game, east and west are reversed

I never noticed that. Do you know which version(s) have this bug ?


I'm not sure but I definitely remember a version whereby north and south were fine but if you were facing east or west, the arrow and the compass ...

Just a few I can think of, some of which are corrected errors or have since been implemented in DM2 or clones:

- fix the compass as in some versions of the game, east and west are reversed
- move some of the riddle room items to the Treasure Stores level so that the player has to visit there
- give ...

I think that the links in those posts were updated which also caused the dates to change.

Nowadays, I tend to play with just one character and complete a lengthy training session in the Screamer room (around Expert in all 4 abilities). With only one character to feed, I find that the food scattered around the dungeon is more than enough so very rarely use the rat room.

Melee weapons - I'd say that the Diamond Edge is probably the best all round. The Hardcleave and Inquisitor are great because the Berserk attack can cause serious damage but it misses quite a lot of the time.

I have never really used ranged weapons. It just seemed a bit pointless as you could only ...

I have tried my hand at this over the past few days. There are some really great graphics, monsters and items.

I think that I have done quite well so far. I have found:
Three magic orbs. From the witch, the druid tower and the sewers. I have put these in the alcoves in the building in the forest ...

I have a vague recollection of someone saying that they managed to trap him at the other side of the Ful Ya pit. Presumably this could occur due to his ability to teleport but I don't think he would have any logical reason to use it in CSB as Fuse is not available.

Did I just make this up?

Edit ...

He cannot be defeated as per DM as there is no Firestaff in CSB. You should avoid him by running past and if you need him to move out of the way, use War Cry or the Horn of Fear. Considering he's the "boss" monster, he can actually be scared.

Am I reading correctly that those characters all start with 1 Maximum HP?! That sounds pretty hardcore....

Absolutely. They are known as the "Maleficent Guild" in Conflux. More info here:

I don't think that DM would be too bad ...

If you would like a real challenge, use an editor to replicate one of these characters:

I have never tried DM or CSB with them, but I did (after what felt like an eternity) finish Conflux with them. I'd say it's doable...

The first time I ever played was with Zed (and others, I didn't realise until a few years later that you didn't have to use 4 characters). It was the extra torch that swung it for me. It wasn't until the past few years when I realised that starting equipment really doesn't matter and decided to take ...

Alternatively, in some versions, you can kill the dragon by falling on top of him through a pit on the level above. Presumably this is mechanical as the party and a monster cannot co-exist on the same tile.

Yes, the dragon is avoidable which is a shame because it is a suitably tough fight for so late in the game.

Back in the day, I tried fighting him at the stairs; I would retreat upstairs if he was about to attack. This kind of worked but if I was too slow I would be killed. The step/dance thing ...

They actually freeze all creatures (except for Lord Chaos who is immune). The green ones last longer than the blue ones. You may find a ring called the Eye of Time later on that can cast Freeze Life several times.

I rarely used them in DM, only really if I was surrounded and near death as it gave ...

It's cool seeing people attempt the "no spellcasting" run - congratulations on completing it so quickly, Ian Clark! Which Champion are you using for your run, PaulH?

Thanks, it did actually take me a couple of hours. I decided to clear out the rooms on the Couatl level even though ...

I have just had a go at "No spellcasting" with a reincarnated Hissssa in CSBWin. Tactics usually involved isolating certain monsters and using the Vorpal Blade on non-materials. The worms were pretty tough then the Couatls even worse but after that, he was powerful ...

I have always maintained that Hissssa is the best champion. Of course, that's based on my personal opinion.

Anyway, back in the day I used to save the game regularly when training then reload after the level went up for (possibly) better stats. You can roughly predict when a level is about to ...

Looks good to me.

Technically, either the Solid Key or Emerald Key can be spared. There is a fake pit that allows you to take a shortcut from the Ku corbum to the Ros corbum or vice-versa.

There is also a pit in Neta where Munchers are generated. If you drop through this pit, you end up in Dain.

I can't quite remember how to do that bit. However, here is something to have a think about:

If you skipped any areas/meditation points, go back and do them after you have got the lightning storm spell from the dragon area. That does the same thing irrespective of which power rune you use so you ...

I tend to do the first part of each path first then go to the Demon Director area. Usually I'll do Neta, Ku, Ros then Dain. The Ros part of the DDD can be bypassed via a fake pit in the Ku area.
