Complicated Tasks Pt 6

Postby Warskull on Sun Jun 10, 2012 3:21 am

Beat Magma Mines with a Priest using no potions

So how do you do this one now?

Halpme got nerfed, you can't prep for halpme, glowing guardian with a prep doesn't exactly give a lot piety, you can no longer convert the snakes for a piety refill, this seems very hard now.

I'd say it's easier than complicated task part 5 (Warmonger Sorcerer on Berserker Camp). Trick on this challenge is setting up XP-catapults to level up in the middle of the boss fight. Since you can't use potions, XP-catapults take a higher priority. I wouldn't be too opposed to prepping GG here. Since you're never going to drink your potions, you never need to worry about converting out so you won't even need as much piety.

Here's an annotated playthrough I did a while back. There have been some balance changes since then that have weakened this approach, but it should still give you an idea of how to approach the dungeon.

Also you can still drink non-basic (health and mana) potions I think? They haven't changed that have they?

You can still drink special brews. They don't qualify as potions
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

Crystal Ball is unlocked in the second Den of Danger quest. You'll need to beat that dungeon with all tier 1 and tier 2 classes. Keep in mind it costs 5 gold to activate now, so you have to time it well. Still, if you're not planning on purchasing much, you should still have enough gold to fuel it.

Could the new mana-refill Earthmother be worked into the approach somehow?

EM could work, but Magma Mines is pretty chokey so you'd probably need ENDISWAL or WEYTWUT to pull it off.

Also Platemail is very good for dealing with the spawn snakes after a while, not that they are too much of a problem in the first place....
