So I've been playing adom since the 5th grade, and now 12 years later I beat it for the first time with out cheatsin... Up to about 6 months ago I *swore* that it was impossible to beat adom without save scumming. bubble gum the dwarven wizard saved the day!!!
I noticed that the game isn't too incredibly difficult once you've taken down ToEF and High king... secret to victory is definitely potions of confusion and slaying ammo... darkness helps too
Memorable moments in bubble gums life
* did Guth'Alak's first quest for the first time ever (I don't know why? I just had never done it b4)
* had a very humbling fight with a gray ooze upstairs from High King that paralyzed me and dropped me from 200hp to 1hp (almost cried :P )
* spaced out putting on AMW for master summoner so I got confused a couple times and almost got stuck in room, but I got my act together after that and took 'im down
* was clearing Blue Dragon cave and a took a couple steps off of stairs and noticed that karmic dragon wasn't doing anything so I started walkin' along "tra-la-la-l a" for a minute b4 he boomed sumthing angry at me and I had. to. take. him. down.
* killed that blue dragon guy at bottom of blue dragon lair he was pretty tricky. ended up going through like a million slaying rounds and 6 cursed invisibility potions
* I think I only found 2 PoGA... and I dipped a potion of holy water into one... instead of dipping the PoGA into holy water...
* helped out the great white unicorn
* Oya and a closed the chaos gate!!!
All and all good match... I'm sure my gf will be glad that I don't have to play adom for six hours a day for a little bit (though victory #2 feels like it might be all the sweeter)... And I suppose I can start putting a little more time into studying for calculus and chemistry now as well...
Thanks you everyone that have given me advice on this forum (and especially Andy Williams' guidebook) Couldn't have done without ya!!!
