Andy got JELLIED?!
Hi all! I'm playing a dark elven wizard going for my first ultra ending. I did a lot of scumming (banshee in the forest), because I've been playing this game for close to a decade and I want to finally get an ultra ending before I move on to more productive things in life, lol. Here's my situation: I got to Andy, and like any good wizard I decided to melee him to death (after throwing the potion of cure corruption, of course!). I have the "attached to chaos, corrupting foes" corruption, and every time attacked Andy I saw the message "Andor Drakon seems to be corrupted". After getting him to moderately injured, I saw the message "Andor Drakon is horribly transformed into a being of primal chaos!".
That's it. He turned into a purple j. Still named Andor Drakon, still had ~10000HP. He could barely hurt me with melee attacks, nor could he casts spells or teleport. I couldn't hurt him with the ToRR anymore because the corruption healed him too much (and I was no longer critting every hit). I left all my ammo except humanoid and demon slayers outside the chaos gate, so I couldn't make use of jelly slaying ammo. However, I didn't get any message about spellcasting increasing his power, so I just acidballed him to death. Really boring.
After I killed him, he just disappeared. No "Andor drakon _____s one last time before blah blah blah". I can still move around and kill other monsters on the chaos plane (and still get massively corrupted by background radiation). I've checked every single purple j that my monster detection wand showed me, just to make sure he didn't teleport or run away.
What happened? I've never read about this happening before...I always thought that right after you defeat him the game ends! I'm playing 1.2.0p5 on the server. It seems like all I can do is wait for the corruption to turn me into a purple j myself--a fitting end, I suppose.
Any insight would be appreciated!
You climb upwards...
These caverns almost seem to be endless. There is a stair leading downwards here.
