    Default web + phase dagger is your friend against king kitty

    So this was my first time ever, that I had absolutely nothing that slayed humans against the cat lord. Its also been a while since I played adom and I almost got myself killed. Entered his level, got the disconnected from the rest of the world message "Ah crap...I dont remember what floor this is. Oh well im sure i'll be fine." Had nothing that let me see invis on so I ran right into that cat lord surrounded by a pack of blink dogs (very strange companions for him). Got hit for 150hp in 1 round and got my black dragon scale mail damaged. So I immediately remembered where I was.
    Threw a potion of blindness at him, moved a few spaces away, and webbed the area. Put on my ancient mummy wrappings sure enough, there he was hostile and blind. After several rounds of switching between casting acid ball and zapping my wands of paralyzing and stunning I finally got him to panic. Out of scrolls of power, very low on PP, and not wanting to use prayers yet, I pulled out my trusty Phase Dagger. Ran up on him and stabbed him relentlessly till he broke out of the webs. Continued chasing him, webbing, stabbing, around the entire floor. I repeated this process for about 10 min till I had enough PP back. Had him critically wounded so i threw a couple improved fireballs his way, and roasted him to death.

    The last time I played this drakeling wizard was 5 months ago, and apparently he killed a LOT of cats. Went from level 21 to 26 after killing the cat lord.

    so if all else fails, be like me and ALWAYS wish for a phase dagger, you never know when it will save you!
    To this day I have not once scummed in ADOM.
    Probably why I dont have a win.

    Cat lord has PV of near 0 doesn't he? If you were fighting him for 10 minutes, I can't imagine the phase dagger was doing better than an eternium spear or something would have.
    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.

    I recently killed the catlord with a dark elf ranger using a similar method. Had no humanoid slaying ammo but had a fully charged wand of webbing. Found the kitty, webbed the hallway he was in and started hammering him with regular 1d6 arrows. He went down really easily, which is odd as I mercilessly slaughter any cat I see. Only got two levels out of him though, with a speed of (I think) 146.

    Shame this guy died in the mana temple...

    he had pv 5, but it was better than using my sword of nonnak. Didnt have many marks in swords, mostly used it for the Wi. Currently assaulting the earth temple at level 27.

    One important advice : Cast from HP.

    well this game is ruined. Earth temple was super easy, ancient stone beast had no chance against fireball + trusty phase dagger.

    BUT! Didnt have my see invis up, again. Accidently tried to walk into khelavastar in terrinyo. He tried to kill me, I just walked away. No one else got mad. Then a small child tried to attack HIM which he in turn killed, and now all of terrinyo wants me dead...for some reason...dang and I really needed those potions from the druid. Normal ending for me!

    anything else i can do with these chaos corpses?

    Wield them and systematically beat all the other children to death for starting the drama?
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    That's why I always try not to kill cats, and tend to wear the AMW by default. Being surprised by the invisible cat lord can be nasty. And stumbling into the invisible Khelavaster is a pain (and should be classified as a bug).
