Part 29: Time to unlock your first vicious dungeon! You should be an elf. It is the best choice. Halfling is a bad choice for paladins. Don't be a handling paladin in future. Glowing guardian is great for Paladins. God preps sound far too scary. They're good, I promise. Why are you exploring the sun dungeon with full health? Weakening applies if you fireball them. If you have 13 mana the pendant is GREAT! That's 3 HALPMEH'S! Dracul is bad early game. You should have waited. Now you are in a dead end god with no piety and you will never be able to convert. Great. Just buy that pendant! Wow, that was an unlucky pull. The tormented one is wimpy, but he is anti-paladin. That troll heart was a good buy. Seriously, GET THAT PENDANT! It is super good to have 15 mana (6 mana potions and 3 HALPMEHs). You can only fireball the wraith to death if you stack burning. You gotta love the orb of lusory! You can use HALPMEH (Drac won't punish you for 0 piety). This isn't the most wonderful start, but it isn't bad. A bit exploration heavy. Yeah, illusions over level 4 are roadblocks. You won't beat that level 6. NO! ALWAYS ATTACK BEFORE FIREBALLS! That level 5 wraith is fine. You've already wasted enough exploration and you can just kill some popcorn. In the case, you were smart to convert WONAFYT. You don't have the exploration to popcorn bowl. NO! YOU WANT THAT EXPLORATION! KILL THAT WRAITH! And now you see! You won't get any piety, because you (UNFORTUNATELY) took Dracul early, but you can do whatever you want. PLEASE! NO MORE WASTING EXPLORATION! Dracul isn't that bad for Paladin's if you tkae him late, grab sanguine and then fight the boss. You should have killed that wraith forever ago. CYDSTEPP is very mediocre for non-warlords. HALPMEH is more useful than BURNDAYRAZ. You could kill that level 6 wizard. You're learning how to play halflings! Too bad you can't convert. JUST USE HALPMEH! You're going nowhere with Drac, so give in and use HALPMEH. YAY! Don't hate it, accept it. It is your penance for worshipping Dracul. You are REALLY low on exploration. Not the potions! It probably wasn't worth it, but you won't need them honestly. This isn't vicious. This low on resources I would try to avoid fighting animated armors, but your fine. YES! A better target. You need HALPMEH to regen fight. Yeah, you need level 6 to 7 or 7 to 8 to beat the tormented one. Take the indomitable first. Again, DON'T USE HEALTH POTIONS ON 3 LEVEL HIGHER KILLS! But you're a halfling. That level 9 is way too hard. Argh! MORE WASTED TILES! And the illusion. That hurts. No. A higher level illusion is way beyond you. It is suicide and will only waste tiles. YES! IT IS A BAD IDEA! Good usage of the fortitude tonic. Impressive. Nice kill on the goo. USE BURNING DISCHARGE! Argh! NO! That went downhill fast. JUST USE THE FREAKING HALPMEH GLYPH! You didn't need to do of that or blow more potions. A mana potion?! YOU NEED THAT! The health potions were okay as a halfling, but with the tormented one you need every mana potion you can get. That schadenfreude might just save your life. Use sanguine. You could kill the indomitable right now. I think you have some left in the sundungeon. NOT THE SCHADENFREUDE! Also, you don't need burning discharge on level 1 AA's. You can just attack and then first strike so save that schadenfreude. Why must you engage the tormented one first?! You should beat up the indomitable first and then come back with higher damage. You'll win if you get sanguine. Mana potions are definitely the better choice for the tormented one. YES! YOU SEE IT! And that will be a win. One minor thing: HALPMEH is better than BURNDAYRAZ if the hp it gives you is enough for 2 layers of death protection. Berserker is a great choice for this dungeon. I won't spoil vicious dungeons for you, but I will say one thing: Vicious halls of steel is the easiest.
KEY POINTS: Never forget all 3 uses of burning. They are all important. Worship Dracul late, not early. HALPMEH is better than BURNDAYRAZ for paladins. Waste less tiles. It's okay to throw away a little popcorn for a good amount of tiles.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.
