I've got a few ultras under my belt and was thinking about trying this out as a challenge game. From what I read on the wiki completing Gaab'Baay's final quest to get the Amulet is a chaotic act, which would make getting and equipping the girdle impossible. A few questions:
- Does performing chaotic acts disqualify this, or simply moving your alignment towards C? The reason I ask is that Chaos Knights start the game at -10000, which is already the lowest you can be.
- Relating to the above, finishing GB's final quest drops alignment by -1000 from what I see... I wonder if it is technically possible to remain at -10000 alignment before finishing this quest. This would be extremely difficult as if would mean not saving Khelly and finding 6 artifacts to feed the ratling relatively early in the game. I would imagine this would be Phial, Crown of Science, Mummy wrap, Ankh + 2 more (possibly AoME). RoHK you would need to get past EG without killing/attacking it so that's a no go.
Not killing lawful creatures would be a given, but I wonder if chaotic acts can be worked around if your alignment isn't technically dropping. Maybe you would still be able to kill lawfuls as your alignment isn't going to drop any more, but that isn't something I'd want to test
I know it's possible to get the girdle and then complete GB's quest, but then you're not really a paragon of order - you just have a belt you can't use.
I suppose I can try this in exploration mode by wishing myself incredible gear to plow through everything, but was wondering if someone knew the mechanics before I attempt this.
