Talk:Subdungeons

2016-01-12T07:59:18Z

Phoil:

Subdungeons probably have changed a lot since that page has been last edited...
Also I don't really get the difference between "Darwin's subdungeon project", and the "Repeatable Dungeon's" (I guest that the first list contains those without a picture, and the second, those with a picture. Which does not fit with the lists titles...)

Would anyone have any objection to redesigning the Subdungeons page a bit? The current split seems ad-hoc and sometimes redundant, so what a have in mind is 3 parts: 1) One-time/quest subdungeons (unlocking gods, races, explorer classes); 2) Regular subdungeons (= repeatable according to current logic); 3) Secret subdungeons. And making sure each subdungeon is only mentioned once, in the section where they belong, ideally with entrance screenshot and description. I'm happy to start the work, as it's sometimes very useful to see these subdungeons apart from eachother. [[User:Tinker|Tinker]] 08:46, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

:I've added on the Chemist Subdungeon. [[User:Crawly McCrawlsa|Crawly McCrawlsa]] 07:01, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Do we want the signpost text for each subdungeon included in this page? I find it interesting from a lore perspective. I can grab all the text out of the game files, so it's just a matter of matching it up with the entries here. [[User:Phoil|Phoil]] 00:27, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

I kind of started adding them the hard way, making screenshots and typing them up, because I also find them interesting. So unless there's some really strong reason not to add them, at least I'd totally like that to happen! [[User:Tinker|Tinker]] ([[User talk:Tinker|talk]]) 15:49, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

For the entrance views, I recommend to show what the player sees initially. If the sub is shrouded, it's going to be the 3x3 area near the stairs; if it starts revealed, it's best to show the full sub (resized, to fit the space). Like for Troll Push / Titan Guitar / etc. [[User:Tinker|Tinker]] ([[User talk:Tinker|talk]]) 19:02, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

I just saw the Dairy Diary subdungeon with a Level 1 Goat, not a Level 9 as indicated. I was low-level (probably 4) when I entered it not sure if that makes a difference.

: Yes, there's two subdungeons with the Dairy Diary, one in the center region with a level 1 goat, and one in the south with a level 9 goat.

Shop Spawn

Phoil: Clarify interval

{{stub}}

This page elaborates the algorithm used to populate the [[Items]] shops. It can get a bit mathsy, though understanding the algorithm can help also to understand the odds of finding certain items; also, should it be needed, it can help with improving the odds of finding certain items. For new players, this page is probably a bit too much.

The shop algorithm in a nutshell is:

1. Start with a list of all potential items. 
2. If quest or elite preparations are chosen, then move those items to the front of the list. 
3. Remove prepared inventory items from the list. 
4. Let the length of the list now be n. 
5. Generate a random number in the interval [0, n^2). 
6. Take the square root of that number, round down, and subtract from n-1.This is the index of the chosen item. 
7. Remove the chosen item from the list. 
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each additional shop. 

For normal dungeon runs, the potential item list is created by adding basic items, then unlocked quest items, then elite items.

For the DERPs, the potential item list is a fixed list containing all items, but the basic items are still at the start, and elite items at the end. For a given DERP seed and a given length n, the generated random numbers will be identical, but the chosen items depend on the order of the list as affected by preparations. If both quest and elite preparations are chosen, then whichever was last in the available preparations will be at the front of the list.

Subdungeons

2015-10-10T08:24:04Z

Phoil: /* Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

"... and as she approached the great serpent, it raised itself from the floor
and struck at her neck. The attack was brief and deadly - two puncture marks silently wept blood onto her collar. Yet even with the liquid anathema flowing through her veins, she raised her hammer and shattered the vile creature's skull, all the while praying to divines who may or may not have existed.

The creature perished, and her body felt a sudden pureness again ..."

Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Subdungeons

Phoil: /* Repeatable Regular Subdungeons */ Pen the Mage Dragon

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

[[File:Ick_Swamp.png|right|450px]]

Ick Swamp is a Hard difficulty dungeon filled with plants and other dangerous monsters. It is unlocked by completing the Southern Swamp.

== Overview ==

'''Monsters:''' Gorgons, Vampires, Warlocks, Naga, Meat Men, and Wraiths. Additionally, the dungeon is mostly filled with plants of all types, including barbing bushes. Monster difficulty is 120%.

'''Bosses:''' One random boss and Itsssama the Naga, with 318 hit points, 37 damage, 50% physical and magical resistance, and weakening blow.

'''Special Rules:''' All Warlocks killed drop Wisp Gems, small slot items that give a +5% attack bonus. Mana burn, poisonous and corrosive plants have a small chance to drop a spoon.

== Strategy ==
'''Recommended Classes:''' {{c|Rogue}}, {{c|Berserker}}, {{c|Bloodmage}}

You want to level up using gorgons, vampires, and sorcerers because they all have relatively low hp. Nagas are to be avoided unless they can be killed without incurring any weakening. The plants are very dangerous and hinder your movement, but avoid killing the poison and mana burn plants unless you're about to level up. If possible, before you level up, clear out all the poison and mana burn plants. Corrosion can not be removed easily, so it is recommended you avoid getting any. Before you begin the boss fight, make sure you have killed all sorcerers and pick up all wisp gems.

The boss, Itsssama, has very high resistances and weakens you, so a low damage character is not recommended. Additionally, you should decide in advance which boss to deal with first; if you rely mostly on physical damage and go after Itsssama first, you will want to pick up a {{i|Fortitude Tonic}} for after the fight. If you decide to go the spell casting route, it is highly recommended you bring the piercing wand to counteract his high resistances. Isssama's weakness is his damage - even a level 6 rogue can take a hit without dying, so this makes [[HALPMEH]] an incredibly valuable glyph. [[Berserker]] and [[Rogue]] are very good class choices. If you choose a [[Rogue]], you must either find [[HALPMEH]], [[CYDSTEPP]], or an altar to [[Taurog]], because health potions will not last you long enough. If you find a [[CYDSTEPP]] glyph, start killing sorcerers, gorgons, and vampires 2-3 levels above you. If you find [[HALPMEH]], it will be monsters 1-2 levels above you. If you find [[Taurog]], only pick up the sword, armor, and possibly shield, as you need the rest of the space for wisp gems. If you go the [[Berserker]] route it's Taurog time! Grab the sword, armor, and helmet first converting all glyphs and killing high level sorcerers with your new 65% magic resistance. The boss should be easily outlast-able with any of the 4 tactics.

== Special interactions with plants ==

The harmful plants of the Ick! swamp can be exploited as a resource under limited conditions. A worshiper of Glowing Guardian equipped with HALPMEH can and should poison himself whenever he is at full mana and about to explore, and at any point in time during a battle where he intends to cast HALPMEH. Whenever practical, you should also try to get poisoned and manaburned just before leveling up. A character following this strategy will actually want to conserve the plants rather than just cut them down.

It may not look like it, but the harmful plants apply their effects by making a zero-damage attack. This attack can be dodged like any other attack. Rogues following Tikki Tooki can gain very large amounts of piety by harvesting the plants right before level up. Taking the Dodge boon makes this even better.

Killing a plant, even the harmless green ones, still counts as a kill and still discharges IMAWAL. Be cautious that you don't waste your bonus experience on a 0 xp kill!

== Quests ==

There are 2 quests in ick swamp, Ick! and Way of the Open Fist (part 2). For completion of Ick! you gain 250 gold. All you have to do is beat the dungeon. Way of the Open Fist (part 2) requires you to beat the dungeon as a monk without preparations and grants you 350 gold. This requires quite a bit more luck than normal, as you must find an Altar to Taurog asap. Find Taurog and then convert all of the glyphs you've found so far for extra base damage and take the sword. Regen fight monsters (except naga) until you are level 8. Make sure you have extra tiles as you are going to need them. Start off with potions, then tiles until you can kill him in 3 shots (or 4 if you have 2 altars you can afford to desecrate), then use unstoppable furies for the kill. This will take many tires so try not to get frustrated.

== Deities ==

{{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} is prep-worthy, even if the loss of an inventory slot hurts badly with all those Spoons and Wisp Gems. Chaos Avatar can be used to either wipe Weakness stacks or lower resistances before/after the fight with Itsssama, or mid-fight as a compromise with a nice level-up heal thrown in. However you choose to do it, you may as well kill all those nasty corrosive plants first and pick through the remains for any extra trinkets, if you have room for them.

{{g|Mystera Annur}} can also lower MR, and she can do the full 50% unlike Jehora given enough piety. One of the two gods or a {{i|Piercing Wand}} is almost mandatory for using caster strategies on Itsssama.

{{g|Glowing Guardian}} has already been mentioned because of the extra piety available from poison/mana burn plants. This god also burdens your inventory, though. {{g|Tikki Tooki}} has a novel interaction with plants to farm piety, discussed above.

{{g|The Earthmother}} is probably not worth it, all things considered, at best usable for a risky end-game spike. The last place Vine Form is going to be of much help is against a tanky boss like Itsssama who applies Weakening. Clearance, Greenblood, and Entanglement are somewhat better, but you will want to clear a large number of plants before converting in so that your Clearance will have a higher chance of removing the plants which are in your way. All things considered, Plantation is a risky move even then, except for maybe a [[Crusader]], who will have the fewest plants remaining thanks to his three immunities.

The others don't necessarily merit a special mention either way, though some specific strategies for [[Taurog]] are discussed above.

LEMMISI

2015-09-25T10:25:19Z

Phoil:

<onlyinclude>{{
{{{tpl|GlyphInfobox}}}
|Name=LEMMISI
|ManaCost=2
|ShortDesc=far sight
|Effects=
* Reveals 3 random hidden tiles (if any are available)
|Hotkey=L
}}</onlyinclude>

LEMMISI is a glyph that reveals 3 random tiles on cast, allowing the player to explore parts of the dungeon even if they don't have access to them. Revealing tiles with this glyph has the same effects like exploring them in a manual way; the player gains health and mana as he usually would. Due to LEMMISI costing 2 mana, but revealing 3 tiles, the player will always gain 1 bonus mana when using this glyph.

LEMMISI will always reveal a random mix of tiles. But there is an order of priority, which could roughly be :
* at first the glyphs,
* then altars and stairs,
* then shops, items, potions, and bosses,
* then power-ups,
* then monsters and gold,
* and finally all the remaining empty tiles and walls.
That order of priority is not absolute : it means that when first casting LEMMISI you will reveal a mix of monsters/glyphs/walls... But if you find the glyph right from the beginning, it'll only take a few casts to see every glyphs (between 2 and 4 times in early kingdoms, and maybe 6 casts if you have more shops and altars), a few more to see every altars (between 4 and 8 times), between 10 and 20 times for the boss, many more to reveal every enemies (around 50 times, which means 1/3rd of the map).

The sequence in which monsters are being revealed seems to be random.

== Unlocking the glyph ==

LEMMISI starts unlocked.

== Strategy ==

If you find LEMMISI early, it can serve as a scouting tool - using it a few times to check what Deities, monsters, glyphs, or bosses are lurking around can allow you to adapt your strategy to the dungeon.

Unless your character is good at [[regen-fighting]], the glyph isn't really useful for combat as monsters will regenerate as if you were exploring normally. However it would usually be more efficient to explore in the normal way, since you'll gain more mana than you would using LEMMISI.

The exception to this is when you have used up all reachable black space, and the dungeon or any subdungeons still have lots of unreachable, unrevealed tiles. This is where LEMMISI truly shines; by combining it with {{s|APHEELSIK}} or {{s|BYSSEPS}}, you can weaken a boss or wittle his resistances down before the fight even starts!

This is extremely useful for the {{c|Monk}}, since he lives and dies by how much blackspace he still has left.
Once there is no black space, however, the glyph no longer has any use and should be converted.

== Hints ==

* Be careful if you have taken Mystera Annurs "Mystic Balance" boon. The boon either in- or decreases manacosts toward 5, resulting in an actual manaloss when you use this glyph.
