I'm now in the dragon den and have killed the first two dragons, working my way from room to room counter clockwise. On the first dragon, I cast a few Pal level poison bolts at it through the gate until I was getting low on mana, then stood in front of the gate and let it spit fireballs at it. It to...

I dropped all but one gor coins on the floor by the coin slot, then went to the "scare and teleport the skeleton" area in the Ros path on level 3 (killing the demon on the pressure plate behind the gate on my way) and unlocked the gold door and had a look. All I found there was a compass, ...

I've reached DDD now. I thought the room on level 3 by DDD needed a gold key to open, but I had misremembered. It turned out that I needed the sapphire key for that, so I had to slug my way through the black flames to get it. When I was casting my first few Mon level fire shields in DDD, it would so...

I've certainly been leaving more stuff behind this time than in my previous run. I've also decided to not pick up plate armor this time (except Powertowers). I'm going to wear mithril and Flamebain instead. Total load shouldn't be an issue, because my characters are constantly buffed up on Ku potions.

I went back to the place in Ros where I had found the Boots of Speed the last time, but unfortunately they weren't there this time. On the way there, I made a couple of deth knights fall into a pit by luring them over it and pulling a lever :lol: I went back to Ku and killed all the vexirks there, t...

I've started on the Ku path now. I've killed a lot of mummies, picked up the Executioner, and went down in the basement and killed the dragon. I did get an Onyx key from a giggler I encountered in the basement. I tried it on the door behind the secret wall there, but sadly all that was behind the do...

Did you get the vorpal blade there in your original playthrough? I'm pretty sure there is one, although I may be misremembering... Yes I did. I like playing with one or two characters too, and Petal and Buzzzzz are the gotos for me in CSB. That makes me even more confident that I made the right cho...

I had a quick session where I went to Supplies for the Quick and picked up almost everything there (leaving the mace, staffs and bow behind), then went back and killed 4 more worms. They gained one wizard level and two priest levels each (from making buffing potions). Current stats: Buzzzzz: Craftsm...

Thank you Antman. I had assumed 07,14,34 was the place I had found it the last time, but it turns out it's an item launcher. Looks like I'll have to take a trip up level 0 after getting the first corbum to fetch the second boots (although it might have had to go up there anyway to get Dragon Fang if...

They're not starving anymore, because I've transferred them to the main dungeon :) I've killed the worms. First time I tried throwing poison bolts at them but It wasn't that effective (maybe I didn't focus fire enough), so I had to start kicking them when I ran out of mana. At some point I stepped o...

Thanks :) I'm considering maybe doing a two character run with reincarnated Buzzzzz and Petal next. I already have made a save game with them in the prison, and trained them up there. All the mummies and rock piles are dead, and they both have Craftsman fighter and ninja, Journeyman priest, and Arti...

The lock opened with the ruby key as I expected, and behind it were some stairs up. Upstairs there was an alchove with the Crown of Nerra, some fine robes and some sandals. I suspected something might happen if I picked them all up, and sure enough, I heard a click and took a deep fall to "surr...

I'm glad you've enjoyed it Antman :) I went back down from DDD to the area with the big room that had opened. I tried going in a counter clockwise cirle, but ended up in the area where there were two fountains in a hallway, so I went back to the big room again. There I found a fountain, and next to ...

Thank you Ameena

I don't have the Ruby Key, so I will have to head back and try to find it.

The hint function wasn't really useful here. There was a hint called "Looking back" which just said that a demon might appear behind me. I decided to try going down the "Trust me" pit again and up the stairs. I tried putting a stone club on the pressure plate there, but nothing h...

In the new area there was a large room, and a corridor to the right. I went right, went past a small room with a pit, and came to some stairs up and some stairs down at the end of the corridor. I went downstairs, and there was a blue mist behind a concealed pit, and a door that I couldn't destroy wi...

The stairs down just took me back to the area with the pressure plates junction again, so I went back up, then went back out the blown up door and up the stairs again to where I had initially come from. I went back to the niche with the 3 buttons and initially tried pressing the middle one, then wen...

I went right into the large room and and started knocking on walls. There was a hallway to the east, and a couple of pits to the south. At the end of the hallway, there was a door. It didn't get destroyed by the Executioner, but a Mon level fireball blew it open. After I went through the door, I saw...

I went through the corridor behind the fake wall, and behind another fake wall there was a large room with some pits in it. Entrance into the room was blocked by a couple of pits, but when I stepped on the pressure plate, one of the pits closed. I found a niche with a cryptic scroll that had some le...

Thank you

Yes...indeed. Depending.

Doesn't sound ominous at all, no sir

Anyway, I finally decided to finish Dungeon Master

I decided to take a little break from playing CSB (which you can read about here) to finally finish Dungeon Master

The lever opened the gate, and the blue button teleported me back to the area just before the gold locked door. I still don't know what the holes in the wall do. Based on Paul Stevens' comment, I kind of expected the lever to make the holes fire Des Ew spells when I pulled the lever, but it only ope...

I decided to have Wu Tse and Elija try punching the rives instead. I kept punching them for the longest time, only interrupted by rounds of buffing, and then suddenly Elija gained a fighter level. This didn't make much sense, since I thought punching gave ninja experience. I guess maybe they were ge...

I went back to the pressure plate junction and took the central path, casting some shield spells beforehand. At the end of the central path, there was another oitu which I killed. I turned around, and sure enough there was an oitu down the hall. I went up to it and killed it with a little bit of hel...

It would probably have taken me longer to get anywhere if I had played this game back in my Amiga days :) Anyway, I decided it was time to move on. I quickly checked Supplies for the Quick, but it was still empty, then I climbed down a pit there. I filled up on water and stepped into the teleporter ...

No progress to report today. Was feeling tired and therefore not motivated to tackle what everyone is saying is the worst part. I did briefly launch up the game just now to grind some buffing potions in the starting room, since I have plenty of water, and lots of dragon steaks strewn around in the s...

I went into the room, and it was indeed the room I had been in before filled with blue mists. I found a blue gem there which I picked up. I went further, and there was a trigger on the floor, and when I stepped forward I fell down the pit again. Before I could properly react, I fell down another pit...

I decided to go to the hallway in the other end of the room. I stepped in front of the holes in the wall and quickly stepped back, but nothing came out of the holes so I proceeded down the hall. There was a door with a gold lock, and while I was in my inventory looking for a gold key, I suddenly hea...

I decided to give it another try after using the CSBWin hint function on my savegame. I found a secret button which closed the pit in front of the alchove where I had found the third flask, and the rock piles had respawned as well as another demon. I dealt with the demon and lured the rock piles on ...
