    Default 1st win. L+ hurtling archer

    It took some time. For about 5 years of knowing the game.
    But never managed to get further than ToEF.

    So, randomly chosen Raven born hurtling archer.

    Directly to SMC. No planning for ultra or something. So i did not remember the first kill. Afterwards it seems to me that it was Large bat, but who cares.
    Thrown rocks made it easy. Somewhere before mountain village found eternium axe. That was good enough.

    Got healing skill. 110 speed makes it peace of cake.

    Next quest is puppy corpse. on the last level "surge of power". Named Spectre. Holyfreakingshoot. 'twas scary. but berserk mode + thrown rocks do the stuff. And so I got Preserver. I beleive it was the game breaker. Fast regeneration saved me sooo many times.

    So what can i do after the puppy quest... I had arrows and a bow. And was experienced enough. so i killed crime lord. And become emember of theifs guild. I alrady was L+, so didn't bothered about pick pockets. And I had to kill Shreik. Poor guy.

    Going to CoC. lawful altar on the first level.
    D4: Arena. Bought lotta of cooked lizards.
    D10: Dwarven hills. And you know what? 7LB in the shop. 1503 gp only. Yummy.
    first thundarr quest - kill kobold. - easy.
    second quest - i decided to dive to DH. with 7LB it was easy too. Got helm of water breathing.
    Hmm. ok, let's dive ! Made little dragon very happy.

    L15. Almost forgot to visit Rehetep. DV 33/PV 15. Had to run in circles, but got my ankh and AMW.
    I became champion of arena, exchanged gladius to tactics training.
    All gold was succed, big punch , and ancient scythe too. became very close. greedy god.

    decided to go to graveyard. in big room got stucked with spider factory. Entered there L16, came out L18.
    And with rune covered trident. That was definitely second game breaker. Undead slaying, Dx improvement. Niiice.
    Cleared out ALL the graveyard.
    poured griff's tomb. killed necromancer. took elemental gauntlets. Wait, i don't have wand of digging... How to get Wi sword? Ahh, the pick axe from the pyramid. Okey, dokey.

    To CoC back again. On the D1 I became crowned champion of Shalla. And the gift was... obsidian quarrel "Thunderstroke". mnyam. That was a little bit disappointing. But immunity to fire was good.
    But anyway, I have my trident, so I'll be melee archer

    Cleared out all levels up to Khelevaster. I really wanted to save him, so decided to dive darkforge.
    Lucky, fate smiles, ankh, ring of luck, blessed scroll of luck.
    11 pools. Not. A. Single. Wish.
    Frustrating...
    But got teleport and teleport control.

    Well, Khelly must die then.

    Cleared out CoC graveyard. melee. No digging. Undead slaying trident is niiice. Did I said that before?

    Water temple was piece of cake. grues were killed in two strikes. Elemenals were tougher, but no problem too.
    Snake? 3 demon slaying arrows. Shining orb in toolbox.

    Cleared everything up to wall of flames. Nothing special. Preserver rules.

    ToEF. Fire giants were quite hard. But Preserver rules, y'now )
    And here comes the Wyrm. High alertness and Dx made killing him simple. Just 3 blessed quarells of slaying. And one of that three missed.

    And just before exit from ToEF, my 7LB burnt to ashes.. FUUUUU....

    But I was tough enough to paln to finish the game.

    Dived to CoC again. Air temple wa easy too. But there burned my SoCR stolen from mountain village. Sad.

    Etereal guadian? So fast? Hmm. and the lawful altar on the same level. What if...
    And I kicked him. 124 speed was fast enough to outrun him.
    But that toffguy just don't want to step on altar. Clever one.
    It took for about 30 mins in real time to kill him. running circles all around the level. Shooting arrows and quarrels. Really tough guy.
    But killing him made me +3 level ups. Sweety.

    So I need RotHK. Said - done. And so I standing before piranha lake realizing, that i DO NOT have ice wand.
    Bridge building ? yeah, i got that skill on 6 or so. Ok. Let's try to find it.

    Went to ID. stairhopping for 2 solid hours. No freaking wand.
    Maybe mountain village?
    Nope. But i killed oracle and got my Le boost. And you know what? Even after killing her I remained L+.
    And Hawkslayer become my companion.

    Crazy ideas came into my mind. Bug temple. Killed some green and black bugs. But when my health dropped to 30 i quit. No cold wand either.
    Hawkslayer dead. Not so tough, eh?

    Minotaurs? On the first level I lost yet another SoCR. RNG have sense of humour.

    Gremlins? No pickpocket skill, poor stuff from killing, but got Phial that was succed to Shalla.

    CoC again. D5: First corruption. Unholy aura.

    Dvarwen village. Shopkeeper become hostile. Musculat dvarwes all over the place. SHIII~. Killed all of'em.
    Oh. I forgot about dvarven mystic. Teleportation, "You are cursed"! And no artifact. Said.

    Big room. Yet another 1,5h of real time. No. wand. of. freaking. cold.

    Dived deeper. just before etereal guardian i found broken oak wand. identifying... YESSSS...
    Running up to Glod. fixing wand. Blessing it.

    Piranha lake again. Skeletal king? Wi 30+. Undead slaying arrows. Piece o'cake.

    Passing guardian. Right on the next level was casino. The only worthing thins there was phase dagger and blue dragon scale male. No artifacts.
    Sacced yet another 500K gold to my god. Very close still. Ok, going down.

    Greater vault of frost giants. Cleared. No artifacts. Eaten corpses. Realized that Wi dropped down to 4. No good.
    Going down down down. Not looking on level number.
    Wait.. fire anomaly? Am i really at D48? geee )

    Ok. going up. Earth temple. Dancing with elementals. Stairs up, stairs down. +1 level up. Stone beast was annihilated by arrows of construct slaying. It was almost boring.

    Mana temple. I almost ran out of my wands of digging and potins of booze. But i got to that corridor. Just ran through it. And guess what? Another SoCR burned.

    Fight in the entrance to mana temple was looong. Freaking chaos wizards... too many summoned stuff. But at last comes Archmage, and confusion.
    helm of mental stability, 2 rings of mental stability. Something better. Luring him out in upper coridor. 8 arrows of humanoid slaying. Bingo. Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.

    And so I had 6 corruptions, no SoCR, 16 fried lizards. No bow. Wait.. ring of djinny ? here comes 2 SoCR. Corruptions decreased to 3.

    So, let's try to close that chaos gate.

    Icy level. the glaive "Long Sting". Useless. By the way all level was made using only spear of returning. I wonder whether boomerangs may do that thing too..

    D50: Veeery long fight to get go main room. +2 corruptions.
    Horde of ghost lords. How good is trident, but i got to 78 years, that was pretty close to problem. 2 blesed potions of youth made me 44.

    And balors came into play. Trident rules. 4 strikes, and L47 becomes L50. Waaait. what was archer's ability at that level? killing several targets with one arrow? ) Really cool thing.

    Chief balor was killed by demon slaying arrows. 2 of them.

    upper room was cleared by melee trident. handled lever.
    lower was easier. killed balor by the same slaying arrows, teleported, handled lever. Completed quest? ORLY? ))

    Quit CoC through Darkforge.

    Took unicorn quest and cleared all corruptions.

    Left Drakalor Chain.

    And so it goes...

    Nice job! Archers are awesome.

    Quick time saver tip: If you attack the eternal guardian, he will step off the stairs. You have one turn to immediately teleport to the stairs and descend before another one appears. This way, you can get passed without the ring. Be careful though... if you ascend back to Darkforge, the route is still sealed and you have to go all the way through CoC again.

    [edit]Also, EG is lawful, so you couldn't sac him. You can sac them (repeatedly) on N/C altars, but killing the EG is massively chaotic, so you'll probably end up C- pretty fast.

    Actually, it was really melee hero.
    First levels made by thrown rocks.
    And no bow or crossbow development till eternal guardian.

    On the start of D50 I had Bows:4, Crossbows:5. And there I trained them heavily. Especially after L50 perk.

    So it's easy way for chaotic crowning ). I'll remember it.
