649: ClassicRogue SDL \\ After aquators zap your armor... = o
0AFTER RECORDING I READ THE "Rogue - let's beat it" THREAD ON forums.roguetemple.com ( https://forums.roguetemple.com/index.php?topic=4386.0 ) AND PICKED UP SOME TIPS:
- have to have bow equipped to have thrown arrows count as bow-shot :ppp
- aquators occur floors ~8(?)-18(?); don't wear your good metal armor there!
- scroll with "maniacal laughter" when read is Scare Monster: stand on it and monsters can't attack you!
- rings *do* increase hunger and aren't great except for anti-hunger rings: 2 of those and you won't ever get hungry; don't wear other rings full-time (and that Detect Invisible ring I got? wraiths are the only invis monster and apparently aren't dangerous anyway 'p')
- 2-hander best weapon; long sword 2nd
- game is really random, you'll just die a lot ; )
- leprechauns don't attack unless you attack them! (leave alone! : ooo)

I learned you can throw missiles diagonally from doorways! Ice monsters only fire in four directions! Glowing hands scroll confuses monsters when you hit them! The "favorite fruit" you name at the beginning sometimes shows up as food you can pick up in the dungeon (as "A [fruitname]"(35:22))!
DARN AQUATORS! Felt like a tank when I got up to AC 8 with some good metal armor, than zap zap those rusty monsters jump out of the darkness and zap it TWICE before you can even just take it off!!!! YARHRAHG
Also rattlesnakes suck and drain your strength. Blurehg. Those two are the WORST. I think there might be technically worse monsters later but those two *are* notorious on the draining front. (I hear vampires are big later and drain max health.)
