How to get a tool of ACW slaying?

[Ascaron]

Fighting the ACW while cursed and doomed is a little insane IMHO.

Remind me what your siggy says again? I forget.

Yeah, if JellySlayers says fighting the Wyrm doomed is insane, then we can take his albeit insane word for it.

Someone posted a mindcrafter victory a bit ago which seemed to indicate that throwing a PoCC at the Wyrm meant they could mindcraft away without any corruption, but I never tested that. My OCG used missiles and confusion blast. I seem to recall confusion blast being awesome, and after that its just a case of doing some damage with whatever you have available.

You recall correctly.

> Fighting the ACW is not a matter of brute force

niether is fighting shopkeepers (and shoppies give nearly the same xp)

Oh well.

> what else would you suggest me to do to progress? Jump down the Rift?

If I need xp levels, I'll hang in the cavernous levels of the TotHK's for a while.

Boring. I hardly ever scum for levels, except if I'm doing an ultra. I prefer progressing with the game.

> faced with a problem though: I need something to slay the Wyrm with

I thought that meant that you didn't have a way of inflicting damage.
Goodness, eternium 2-hander = easy kill.

I was worried about the lack of DV I would have, especially as I didn't even have it trained up too high (used an eternium warhammer until an eye of destruction poofed it).

> Now to remove my cursing and possible dooming

you did it cursed?

Sure. Removing it would also have been a hassle - the altar level I was using for livesacs was almost pacified with locked-away felines, I had no stoma access and no easy gold access (or even left over gold).

Fighting the ACW while cursed and doomed is a little insane IMHO.

As said above, I don't think I had any option that didn't involve lots of work and scumming.

Oh well - this character died in a very strange way. I had already removed my curse&doom and had lots of piety, yet from 200 HP I was taken down in one turn, from coward, from full hit points to nothing by vanilla casino guards (no shopkeeper nearby at that point, not even the big guy). I find that strange indeed. A bit stupid, though, seeing as I forgot about Confusion Wave...

they can paralyze.
