Nethack ascension #6
Chaotic female human monk
Forewords
lf I
played this character for ages. First of all, I don’t remember if I started the
game before I went on my 16-day holiday to China and Japan but even if not, I
played this character for two weeks. Last week playing was slow due to need to
go to work. :-) But I survived.
Ascension highlights
- Started with something like
St:15 Dx:14 Co:14 In:10 Wi:12 Ch:8 Chaotic - Finished as
St:18/22 Dx:22 Co:18 In:22 Wi:22 Ch:18 Chaotic - Cockatrices are useful. Even with named demons.
- Cockatrices are dangerous. Watch out for trolls wielding ones. Fortunately they can be teleported from distance.
- Wand of wishing can stir out one more wish if tried hard enough.
- Reverse-genociding nurses can improve your max HP by a lot.
- Being fast results in only a few WoYs
- 2200 turns from getting AoY to ascension
- End game took only 580 turns(!) of which plane of Water took only 150 turns – I got lucky, too bad my Archon was left behind.
Random thoughts
This was the first game of Nethack where I realized reverse-genociding can be very profitable. It was also the first game where I used wishes for asking potions of gain level (five potions, four wishes in total, also used three wishes for getting wands of death that I never needed). Also used two wishes for figurine of an Archon. Extremely useful pet in plane of Air. For the first time ever, I wasn’t even close to dying – of course my max HP may have played a role there…
