Well, well, well, after clearing all hard quests, I am finally exploring those vicious dungeons. And so far, Dragon Island has been suprisingly easy... Actually, much easiser than one of my previous
bragging (Warmonger badge with a thief in the Den of Danger, in a very early knigdom).
I can clearly see how having more gold, shops, gods and powerfull items makes the game easier.
So, I have just totaly blown the Isles with a Dwarf Bloodmage, worshipping Dracul, and which took the consensus and Body Pact.
You would say : but what is resistance good for there ? Well, it has been helpfull in the primary stage of leveling up, and regen fighting some monsters with the help of a Burndayraz.
But where that character trully shone, is when I started to enter the Matron's lair with 40% sanguine, 120 health points and about 30 blood pools laying around : there was around 1440 Health points patiently waiting to be harvested, or the equivalent of 144 tiles for a level 10 character to be explored (1/3 of a map).
The matron really did not stand a chance...
