I now know to never use double-clicking to go down stairs, at least in Gaan-Telet. Accidentally triple-clicked right onto a level 9 dragon while at low health. This especially deserves to be there since this is the third perfectly good Gaan-Telet Assassin run I've squandered in a row, specifically on the second floor due to a silly mistake; the other two times were caused by temporarily forgetting about the Retaliate:Fireball effect.

I think the game really doesn't want me to beat the place with an assassin... (it's just regular Gaan-Telet. I shouldn't be dying so much XD)

Oh yeah misclicks.
Lately I've been committing the stupidest mistakes related to them. Some time ago I had a PQI in Labyrinth and for fun was worshipping EM. I planned to join in Dracul later so I was very careful about my bloodpools and only petrified zombies and plants. Then once I misclicked my IMAWALL and blocked a path... the path to my bosses with about 1/3 of the blackspace left.
With no wallbreaking tools I had to use Rex to knock me into the sealed area :P

For a very long time retaliate fb didn't cause me any problems, because I always check the monsters' stats and abilities.
Sometimes that's not enough:

It was my 1st gorgon run there, and had such a great time. Ironically I even had CYDSTEPP. So what happened? That boss was slowed, so his retaliate fb wasn't shown. Seeing his weak stats I brawled him popping my DP, was about to fireball it a little before the regenfight, then I got trolled :(

I really wish retaliate fb and all the like abilities didn't disappeared when slowed, they should remain visible, maybe crossed or with a bracket next to them: (cancelled).

Retaliate fireball not appearing on the display when enemies are slowed is actually very annoying. Died a few times because of this one too

If enemies are slowed, they do NOT retalitate your fireballs ;-) Multiple Fireballs are bad thats true :D

Decided to go through some of the dungeons I haven't played to get some classes and badges in those areas completed. Played a goblin assassin in Grimm's Grotto and ended up with Unstoppable and max level, two badges which I hadn't yet obtained for that area. Before leaving, decided to go into subdungeon (Sir Thrawn) and accidentally triggered him with no resources left except for a glyph that wouldn't level me up...

Needless to say, I was sad.

Couldn't you regenfight him? If my memory doesn't cheat me he has low damage and is easily regenfought.

But anyways that is a sad way to lose. Shifting Passages stole some of my runs when I was killing my remaining foes to get unstoppable after the win, but thanks to the combination of EM's statues and walls I got completely sealed. At least I learned not to use Imawall on that dungeon without wall-breaking tools.

I've beaten most dungeons within a reasonable number of tries, even the more difficult ones. Even Vicious dungeons or class challenges I could beat in no more than 1-3 attempts, I think what took me longest were The Labyrinth and Dragon Isles, with 4 tries each.

I remember though that there was one dungeon that I only beat on, something like, my the seventh try, and it was: Ick Swamp. I kept misclicking and getting barbed up by those menacing green bushes. Sometimes, after killing the bosses...
