When you climb a stairway up or down, the monsters next of you will follow you to the next level. This is because you can't just run away from "trouble" if you get overwhelmed...

Yeah, I've already tried it myself immediately after I've read your post. I noticed that monsters always follow you when they stand next to you and you climb the stairs in either direction when I played ADOM for one of my first times.
And once I even managed to take Tywat Pare the sheriff with me when I left Terinyo and he occasionally stood next to me. I brought him to the outlaw settlement and he slaughtered all those wandering bad guys there I like watched a Clint Eastwood western LOL
But that's another story, anyways...
So, I tried that thing, and managed to bring Yrrigs right to the first level, but when I attempted to climb out of the dungeon along with him standing next to me, I've got a message saying that I cannot leave the dungeon while envolved in a fight
So, can I get a little bigger piece of tip?

Yes. Too many to count.

That's good!!!
That's damn very good!!!!!!! :cool: :brain: :brain: :brain: :cool:
:thanx:
Because I haven't managed to complete at least a third part of the game yet, and I hate cheating.
And all that talking about impossibility of completing the game without making backup copies brought me frustrated.
And now I have an inspiration to continue my strugglings!!!

Big spoiler:

Then I'll read it when I'll have completed the game at least three times

On the top of the page, in that wide crimson bar there is a grey box labeled "options". Click it and choose "print topic" (which really does not auto-print the thread, just display it in a printer-friendly mode all on a single page and thus far easier to save), "e-mail topic" or "download topic".

:thanx: very much!

Hello, I'm new to the discussion but I have a lot to say about ADOM

Currently I am playing a lvl 50 dwarf wizard who is striving for the ultimate Avatar of Order ending
I have everything completed in the CoC except the Orb Temple (of course) I just left the quickling tree (was only able to get my intrinsic speed to 181)

Having faced ANdoR before and promptly having my behind handed to me, I know that this character is no match for the ChAoS god. My buddy thinks I should try and push my strength up to over 50 and try for polearm grand mastery before going to the ChAOs plane. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

The only thing I can say about ADOM is that it is good to be smart but it is better to be lucky(and I'm not talking about the luck given to you by rings and ankhs) You just have to get lucky man...it is neccesary to know all of the tricks and secrets but knowing all that stuff does not mean anything if a rock crushes you in the puppy cave

For instance, the character that I am playing had enough talents to be a treasure hunter and brother came home on birthday. I found a Lawful altar and Broadsword of Mayhem in the Small Cave and from that point on it was happy times and rock and roll. There is always that burgeoning optimism of every game that says, "This character could go all the way." The moment of destiny for my character was when my level 24 wizard stumbled into a nest of Ancient Red Dragons with several Ancient Great Named Wyrms also present in the proxmity of an elemental temple (no teleportation) So I just started casting Frost Bolt like a madman, dragons clawing at me, breathing fire, and casting spells (Ring of Clear Mind and Ring of Elemental Mastery saved me from serious damage from their ranged attacks) by the time I stumbled back out I was level 50 and the Crowned Champion of Morodwyn. That is basically how it all went down.

For those of you who feel that the game is unfair...just wait until you fight the freakin' boss man. One dude I had was packin mad toughness (65) and HP was 969, 98 DV/ 77PV-->aNdOR anilhilated him...this wizard I'm playing now has less than 600 hp and defense and protection values are not even close.

Speed is probably going to benefit you more than strength, so I'd suggest scumming for potions of boost speed and/or wishes, so you can wish for speed once you're there. Boost your speed as far as possible, and if you can, kill him with missiles (only if your skill level is high enough, obviously).

You already have 75% of the answer, giving any more tip would be giving out the answer altogether.

BTW, please, explain me what effects does that stuff have???
For several times, I've had that stuff saying either "brother came home on your birthday" or "on your birthday the undeads near your village went away" (or something like that).

Of course, I can guess what effects has "undeads went away".
But what about "brother came home"???

It means there's a greater chance of beehives, anthills pools and shops being generated randomly.
You can find explanations of the other messages in section 0.12.6 of the ADOM Guidebook.
Be warned, though, that site is extremely spoily - not that it would actually help you to win, but if you want to figure out everything for yourself, you'd better not go there.
Generally speaking, special birth messages are nice, but they don't make enough of a difference to make scumming for them worthwhile. They're more of a flavouring element, really.

Thanx *thanx*

How to wish upon a star???

[/b]

Hmm, come again?
If your question is about how to get wishes, there's basically five ways of getting wishes:

• by drinking from a pool: stand on the pool and press Shift + d (but keep in mind that a wish is only one of many effects pooldrinking can have and that not all of them are positive)
• by zapping a wand of wonder: press z and select the appropriate wand (I've never had this happen myself, but it's rumoured to be possible)
• by casting the Wish spell if you've got it: press Shift + z and select the correct spell from the list (this comes at a very high cost, though, and if you're not careful you may well end up killing yourself).
• by zapping a wand of wishing (those are extremely rare, though, so you need to be very lucky to find them. But if you do find one, it may have several charges. Always make sure it isn't cursed before you use it, or you won't get a wish every time. Also keep in mind that you can't recharge them, so when it's down to 0 charges you'd better keep zapping it until you wrench out the final charge that destroys the wand.)
• by rubbing a *blessed* ring of djinni summoning: identify the ring's status and dip it in a potion of holy water if necessary. Then press Shift + u and select the ring from your pack.

If you want advice on what to wish for, that depends.
