Triple Quest 3: a plea for help

[Kami]

The wraiths appear in 3-2.

I tried finding a system but it is completly random.

I don't veto things it is against the spirit of the game.

I think Venom dagger is really god for the magic res boss in 3-2

The Vampiric blade can be great for 3-3.

I get your point about not vetoing things. I don't for regular dungoneering either, because I love the "make the best of what you get" approach to DD. But the Triple Quest is a different, specific set of constraints. The Agnostic's Collar is exhibit A: there's only one altar per level, so a shop that stocks it is a shop that might have sold you Platemail or a Balanced Dagger or a Dragon Soul.

The idea of taking the Vampiric Blade into 3-3 had never occurred to me. I had vetoed it because it offends GG, but as a paladin you can kind of get away with offending GG, and it sure would be nice with resist stacking. Hm.

I had similarly written off the Venom Dagger because although it's, as you note, fine in 3-2, it's offensive to GG in 3-3. Money is so tight that I try not to invest in things that won't be useful across both 3-2 and 3-3. If you're already offending him with blood magic, though, might as well go all the way with poison.

At any rate, good luck and good hunting! You definitely have different strategy ideas than I was using, which is not surprising; a lot of the veter1ans here seem to have very different styles. I would love to see the report of a bloodsword-wielding paladin finishing off 3-3.

The second part hates me really hard today. Uncovered two thirds of the map before leveling.
Ran out of blackspace.

The problem with the third part is that you have to be a high level and the enemys are so unfriendly with: cursing, weakenig, blinking , deathprotections and reviving.

By the way you can bypass all the avatars and directly fight the final boss.
Look for the thread: Question about the libary.

3-3 probably does require a little bit of luck with the enemy loadout. Sometimes I felt like I was steamrolling; other times it felt like I was struggling just to ding 6. On the other hand, you're walking in with Skullpicker, 58% physical resist (if you brought that armor), and either a 150 cp glyph or some other useful item, so killing a Djinni or (especially) Demon Armor shouldn't be too hard. I am clearly a Balanced Dagger partisan; if you prep Quest Items it has three chances to show up, and that makes seeing a Level 2 Cultist a lot nicer. It definitely helps stretch your blackspace resources.

That trick to teleport straight onto the down stairs is pretty amazing. That would certainly be an unorthodox win! 3-2 would certainly benefit from a couple uses of the Ledger. Then you need to get lucky with the teleports in 3-3 and then manage to gain enough offensive power to punch through the boss.If you could guarantee that the teleports would eventually work, I'd give it a shot.
