Supreme Slayer Achievement Guide: Let's Play Desktop Dungeons 97
14Yay! The once-thought impossible is possible! This video shows you a way to get supreme slayer (killing a level 10 as a level 1, no leveling allowed).
Skip to 8:06 to see the run and skip my explanation behind the preparations chosen.
Preparations:
Blacksmith: Bear Mace
Church: Mystera Shrine
Alchemist: Translocation Scroll
Lockers: Orb of Zot
Witch: Whupaz and Schadenfreud potions, with standard mana/health potions
Wizard Tower: More Glyphs
Thieve's Den: Smuggler's Den
Bezar: Shop Scroll
The basis of the strategy is to use the orb of zot to reduce the max HP of the boss (hopefully has 200-250 max HP) to half, and then burning off the overheal health with darkness regeneration. You will also be earning piety with Mystera with every spell cast to eventually buy Refreshment, Flames, and 2 increments of max MP increase.
It may be prudent to switch deities at some point if it is favorable, but as you can see, I did not. This shows that no matter who the second deity is, this is possible with Mystera alone, even with the 25% less piety penalty.
Any source of corrosion (acid) would be a great help, since it helps BURNDAYRAZ, just 6 stacks of corrosion would double your burndayraz damage. A good source for this might be combining CYDSTEPP with Martyr Wraps, but this requires luck in getting both the glyph and the item from the shop. Another, better source would probably be using Earthmother to apply corrosion to all enemies. You can get 6 stacks of corrosion (and a whole lot of plants) for 75 piety, though 4 or 5 may be more piety-efficient. This would require either preparing the Earthmother shrine (and not the Mystera) or getting lucky on Earthmother being your second deity. This would require luck, though. One final form of stacks of corrosion would be that scroll that applies several stacks (I think 5) of corrosion to all enemies, which is found in a subdungeon, but this would take up your locker preparation and you'd have to get lucky to get the orb of zot (and can afford it!).
Everything else should be explained in the video. Good luck with your attempts at Supreme Slayer!
