How do I get better at this game?

I've read the IVAN pastebin and some of the wiki but I still cannot get past Level 2 - always hitting some insane difficulty spike like leprosy or acute poison or exploding dude.

did you cut off your head

>don't get 50 max hp early on - this unlocks dorf exploders
>if you get sores, gb2 the priest in town (that woman alone in tiny house) and pay her to heal you
>unless you piss someone off, you can always safely pray to gods separated by at most 2 alignment "steps" - number of pluses/minuses - for example L++, L+, L, L- means there are 3 steps between L++ and L-
>you can pray every 2 hours + 30 minutes, unless you piss off a given god
>don't be too burdened - you want to grind agility all the time

Overall IVAN is incredibly spoiler-heavy if you want to win not relying mostly on RNG. Read the wiki, don't torture yourself with muh discovery.

but spoilers are half the fun

>muh discovery

The greatest thing about bloated roguelikes is playing without spoilers because you eventually come up with techniques and detailed info not found in any wiki or other places of discussion. You can enjoy being the special snowflake only if you work hard

Having to figure out stupid bullshit like god timeouts, which activity grinds which stat and how much, how does the meme scaling system work and how to not get fucked over by it, how do god offerings work etc. is totally not fun and totally worth skipping.

Yeah I was pressing everything on the keyboard

Yeah but how do I earn gold?

Reach the second city first

grab a copper/bronze/iron/anything pickaxe from UC. They almost always spawn. Pray to loricatus until he turns it into damascus steel. Go down UC:2 and dig in the empty room with a block of rock in the middle. Discover stairs. Go down stairs. Mine crystals. Sell crystals to shopkeeper in capital. Keep one as infinite and lightweight and unbreakable lightsource.

>Go down UC:2 and dig in the empty room with a block of rock in the middle.
>spot one crystal golem
>it spots you
>if you go upstairs, it follows you and gets the first turn
>it hits you, most likely in the torso, exploding it instantly
It's much better to just sell shit you come across than risking the crystals. They don't sell for much anyway.

he said he didn't want to have spoilers

>Nethack was released 30 years ago
>It's still the best roguelike
Where did everything go so wrong

What is "UC" and "UC2"?
How do I stop starving to death?

UT
underwater cave
or tunnel whateve

I can only visit a cave next to New Attnam. How do I get a boat?

>How do I get a boat?
are you literally retarded

???
It's a normal question, sperg.

I want to become a greater player in Minotaur or Gargoyle. Which one should I go for?

u dont get a boat fking retard

hmm or maybe Draconian, hard to choose

So answer it like a white person you fucking schizo

>It's a D:3 water mocassin episode
What the christ.

Whichever you enjoy the most

Are you going to do 27 trog runs

I think I enjoy Mi the most. But I think I might get burned out since they really can't do anything but be a fighter, so any of the magic and stealth backgrounds is just a MiBe with a harder start.
While gargoyles and Dracos are a bit weaker up close, they do have some more variety...
On the other hand switching up gods/weapon styles might be enough to keep Mi fresh

Does anyone ever sacrifice dodge, MR or resistances with ru

Read the fucking wiki
Don't pretend to avoid spoilers when you're asking people to spoonfeed you

greaterplayer is all races and all backgrounds won
you mean greatrace
do mummies

I sacrifice dodging or MR because I don't train/need it anyway

But i never said i avoid spoilers

Half the wiki is empty and there's some autist answering instead of me

Resistances is like 4* piety right away, really worth it

There's enough to get the basics.

swords or maces on a formicid?

this
maces

But there can only be 1 greater mummy

What about lesbian families

No mummys or daddies in a lesbian family, because they can't have kids

They aren't playing mumo because they consume a lot of consumables.

but there are tummies

AROUND YAKS

No tummies in /rlg/ please. Tummies are bloat.

Problem with crawl is that stats are basically useless

>bloated tummies
m-more

>the many ways to serve yak

please do not bloat the tummies, that's lewd.

nah tummies are tight yet soft

I wouldn't call them with the diminutive name.
Have you seen a lesbian couple? They tend to weigh more than bear couples. Grizzly bear couples.

NEVER RELAKS

A minute of silence for our dead comrades

what is this memery level 8 fire single school spell called ignition
is it like lcs single target fire rape or what

tummies are for gentle massage, not for bloat you 2 (two) int minoghoul

Died to an ancient lich and his two fiend buddies in Crypt earlier today.

Remember rod of ignition? It's like that, except it triggers on every enemy in LoS instead of one line.

smite targeted fireball on every single enemy in los

Why is a deep dwarf 52 AC 20 EV not enough to tab that elf:3 corridor? I don't understand, it's not like my battleaxe +3 elec is lacking

>20ev

>tab elf:3

>52 AC
just quit BG2, reading this feels weird

>hurr why can't I tab a whole buncha smiters & spell casters

>smite
>mattering against deep dorfs
damage shaving still is a thing

he clearly died to smite

DDs ignore smite

HE LITERALLY DIED TO SMITE YOU GOAT FUCKER

DDs dont really care about smite

Point still stands. That's probably one of the weakest damage in an elf:3 corridor

INVOVKED
DIVINE
PROVIDENCE

DEAD
Every fking turn eating 30 damage of spites
eventually kills you

You still need to manage LOS in order to avoid unnecessary smiting, user.

Yeah its definitely the smite and not the shit ton of hellfire, torment, lcs and acid bolts flying around
No deep dwarves have to be afraid of smite

You won't be hellfired or tormented if vulnerable people are in the line of fire.
LCS and acid bolt he has to be adjacent in order for them to shoot it since he's in a corridor.

>you won't be tormented if vulnerable people are in the line of fire.

lol

just found the culprit lads

>You won't be hellfired or tormented if vulnerable people are in the line of fire.
you'd better not be so sure about that, especially when a deep elf demonologist summons something funny

Yeah that'll do it.

What the FUCK is this shit now

have fun

Do you guys play online or on webtiles? And why?

use t-t to lure the animals

I get so horny that I lose my focus ingame when people watch me with their dirty and lewd eyes so I don't play online

i usually do online console, mostly because it keeps records and keeps itself up to date

>edmund turns into a steam dragon when he's 1 hit from death
>full hp
>on D:4

What a shitshow this was, holy fuck
Fuck bennus

>edmund turns into a steam dragon
stop playing with chaos weapons.
