Hi guys! So, the last 24 hours have been good to me in Adom. Yesterday before going to bed I won a normal victory with Dwarven Weaponsmith and just now I finally achieved my goal of getting an ultra ending. Just like my two first victories, this was done without any saves and all in one day. So let's begin:
Early game was difficult for me because I didn't manage to find any decent weapons until level 16 when I got Rune-Covered Trident, even though I beelined straight from the beginning towards treasure hunter talent. I got lucky and managed to avoid stone traps for first levels and found an altar in the druid dungeon. After creating DD:7 I went to check if I still had time to save the dog but I was too late. However, I got level 8 from the dungeon so it was time to get precrowned. I got an amazing precrowning gift, Nature's Companion, which helped me survive in the early game and which I used until the end of the game. Killed the druid, picked gardening as a reward which was a mistake since I had zero use for the skill during the whole game. Then I tackled through SMC and UD, where I found a RoDS which I saved and later used for AoLS. After visiting HMW I did the normal dwarftown quests, during which I had the closest call of the character. In DH:1 I found a room with 12 werewolf kings, I had to use a prayer and wand of (uncontrolled)teleportation on myself and hope I'll end up in safe position. I just barely survived and decided the forest will be the better option this time.
After getting Rune-Covered Trident at level 16 the game got alot easier, I used it as my ranged weapon for the rest of the game. At this point I thought I'd go for lawful ultra. Skeleton King was a piece of cake as usual and ACW died before I even saw him as I kept hitting him with my frost bolt spam that was intented for his minions. At that point I should have gone to minotaur maze but I had just eaten and completely forgot about it and went to farm eternal guardian instead. With this character it was alot tougher to farm eternal guardian than with my last, since I didn't yet have 7LBs and Trident has lower range than bows do. Still I killed 7 of them to gain levels and marks on thrown spears but I was starting to get very bored so I moved on. When I took the shortcut below casino to wilderness and thought of my next move it came to me that I'm already over the level limit of maze. At that point I didn't want to go to Bug Temple without 7LBs and I wanted to save Ice Queen's quest for later since I thought they would give me a nice alignment boost towards lawful which would help me get from LN towards L+. I still needed one more artifact to sacrifice to demented ratling, since I forgot I had Black Torc and he stole my elemental gauntlets:
"The demented ratling ignores uncursed elemental gauntlets
The demented ratling picks up the uncursed elemental gauntlets
The demented ratling equips the uncursed elemental gauntlets"
With my very limited options, I decided to continue CoC. I got a few Greater Fire Vaults which were fairly easy and one Greater Giant Vault. The first vault gave me Whirlwind which I then fed to the ratling. At this point I started doing Gaab'Baay's quests so I can convert to L and get crowned. The only artifact useful artifact I found was Boots of the Divine Messenger, but I also found 7LBs so the only situations where I used Divine Messengers was when I needed paralyzation resistance. I kept making my way down the cavern, cleared the orb guardian rooms except for the guardians itself. I was meant to kill them while making my way back to give the exchange the bodies for PoCCs. That plan got changed. I killed the ancient blue wyrm, Srraxxarrakex with no problems but I forgot had gotten poison hands corruption while I was inside his level of the dungeon. Previously I had dropped my equipment at top of the stairs to his level to avoid equipment damage and after I picked everything up, I ended up with ~300 potions of poison.
I was pissed at myself, I killed Nuurag-Vaarn and made my way back to the wilderness went for ice queen's quests to finally get my alignment to L+. They didn't give as much alignment boost as I had hoped and I was starting to run low on corruption removal already, so I had to get some more. Bug Temple was an obvious choice and it was very easy for level 45-50 character. After getting more corruption removal, I wanted to get the TotRR so I had a meeting with assassin prince. The meeting was a bitter disappointment, he didn't give me the quest so I checked my inventory and noticed I had left the Needle next to Sharad-Waador. I hadn't picked up anything when I left the place still thinking about all the potions lost minutes before. So it was time to waste some time and corruption removal to go get the stuff and come back.
Found the stuff, had a new meeting and got the quest. Piece of cake again, as was the emperor moloch. Got TotRR so now I needed the crown and some corruption removal. The only guaranteed place to get more removal was library so the option was clear. I broke my climbing set while entering the rift and the ratling dealer was nowhere to be found so I had to leave the rift and use my only wish for a new climbing set. Of course I could have wished for corruption removal and farm monsters for a new climbing set, but I wanted to finish the game before going to bed so I took a risk. Didn't break the new set and got the book and killed Keriax in two hits. At this point I was LN so I buried the dream of Avatar of Order and settled for Avatar of Balance, got crowned with staff of creation and some immunity which didn't matter at all at this point. Killed the black unicorn to reset corruptions and finally I was ready for the final challenge. It was surprisingly easy, no need to say anything else. Thanks for reading, see you (hopefully) soon with YAVP.
