Do you have the Orb yet?
I actually do, yes. Hundreds, if not thousands, of hours played and I made it down there and back out exactly once. ๐
Lol, I still died half way up my one orb run, so you're further than me. I save scummed right before Zot:5 and did get it on my second try, but that doesn't count.
It was a gnoll abyssal knight IIRC. What about you?
According to the screenshot I took, it was a gargoyle berserker with an axe. I had some ridiculous luck with armor drops, so basically every resistance was either maxxed or close to it. I only really got into trouble down in Zot:5...
And hmm, I should do more with Lugonu. I never really have a reason to pick him, but that means I also don't experiment with him, so I won't really learn what reasons there are to pick the guy...
Lugonu actually started as a goddess, before being turned into a genderless abomination. I think I've seen the devs use it/it's pronouns.
Yup. The panic buttons are nice, the easier rune is nice, and back when there was Ak there was a cheap blink+blink other ability. That character used a distortion-branded demon whip to great effect as well, IIRC. Happy playing!
