Use an Orc Berserker and get Taurog (or another powerboosting Deity) early on and start slaying Gorgons 1-3 levels above you to level up fast. Avoid fighting with Nagas of equal or higher level, since their weakening ability can be really annoying. Also don't get poisoned by a Serpent, unless there is a level up in sight to make up for it. Conserve your Glyphs for the boss fights. When you reach level 7 you can start taking on Medusa. You should be able to kill her in a few hits, just keep your health at max with a level up or potions. Afterwards you can use your (hopefully) stocked potions to outlast Nidhogg.

Skills

  • Bloodlust - +30% damage against higher level monsters
  • Spellkill - 50% magic resistance
  • Mageslay - skills cost +2 mana, attack +30%

General Strategy

Due to his skills, the Berserker is basically a physical powerhouse against magic attackers. Basically you should try to kill as many high level (magic) monsters to use Bloodlust to the fullest. Especially against the bosses the 30% extra damage are useful. Since the Berserker has +2 skill cost, it is a viable option to ditch fireballs, HALPMEH or CYDSTEPP to convert them for better use.

Race and Deity Choices

Ragarding race it is up to your choice, if you want to power his strenght as a Human or to boost endurance as a Dwarf or a Halfling. Since the Berserker has no reliable source of recovery, Orc is a good choice for midfight leveling.

Taurog makes a great Deity for the Berserker, since his high skill cost will make it hard to put skills to a good use, while Taurog boosts his strength even more. Besides that, Jehora, The Pactmaker and Binlor are good choices as well to boost strenght.

Avoid fighting with Nagas of equal or higher level, since their weakening ability can be really annoying. Also don't get poisoned by a Serpent, unless there is a level up in sight to make up for it. Conserve your Glyphs for the boss fights. When you reach level 7 you can start taking on Medusa. You should be able to kill her in a few hits, just keep your health at max with a level up or potions. Afterwards you can use your (hopefully) stocked potions to outlast Nidhogg.
