Nice try, but the Ancient Stone Beast is not a construct.

Yes but I have a problem killing grues so I equipped some Construct arrows that I made with high damage and it only took three of them to kill him.

I like to Save my Slaying arrows for things like Molochs or things that don't seem to be taking a hit when I have no way of backing out.

I took a screen shot to show somebody else that I had cleared out the Earth Temple already cause they didn't believe that I could of gone from the Casino to the Earth Temple in one day.

Not sure why they wouldn't believe you... it takes like 5-10 minutes to get there if you dive staight down, and from Casino to the end is maybe 2-3 hours play in total.

Looks like this could be a winner for you, best of luck.

Casino to the earth temple? that takes like 5-20 minutes depending on class and dungeon features.

Well as you can see, people here seem very doubtful that I've gotten anywhere with my second character.

Looks like this could be a winner for you, best of luck.

Thanks.... though I'm getting really, really worried that I might die... on D46 there was a vault or something full of Emperor and King Liches ... it looked too much of a risk to hang around so I just went down to D47 to find a room full of Ancient Blue Dragons.... luckly they couldn't really hurt me but I lost close to 100 arrows from their lightning

I have killed the Ancient Stone Beast using construct slaying ammunition several times. Either it is a construct or I have ridiculous luck with my crit rolls.

[spectre]

Vaults with greater undead are really mean. Game winners often choose not to clear them, so good call on your part.

[Grey]

Sounds like you're doing well, Asher, but you'll have to be really careful coming up to the Mana Temple. Read the section of Andy William's Guidebook on the Mana Temple for some vital spoily advice. D50 won't be such a hassle for you though, hopefully. And stay away from that vault full of liches! Far more trouble than it's worth...

It is quite impressive for a second character, and I can understand others disbelieving it, but archers really are that powerful and you're using all the right ultra-careful strategies. I assume you've had experience with other roguelikes before?

[Dudley]

he's done XD

[Grey]

Yeah, just noticed - congrats, Asher.

[Asher]

Thanks Grey and Dudley, I finished late last night... I can't find my thread though so I'm guessing we can't post ''win threads''?
Yeah, I'd say Tom made sure the Mana Temple wasn't too easy... however once I killed the guardian and the Summoners/Wizards the rest was fairly simple.

I'll just post what my final stats were:

These are what my stats were in the end
