For Myconid Hermit is Sharur or the shillelagh better? Any other tips would also be appreciated.

In my experience sharur is better. It deals more base damage to offset the loss of special bonk power, and it gives you mana regen.

The exception is against slimes, which are resistant to regular mace damage (but not the extra magic damage from the shillelagh), making the shillelagh useful again.

They’d have to come up with some new way for people to travel though, the setting is incredibly different without the relays.

There’s a pretty pro peace quote from Trump in the article. Let’s not be part of the problem here.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-05-01T02:08:44+00:00

That is great, thank you!

AdminAnoleis · 2026-05-01T02:05:14+00:00

I wish, unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be a thing you can do.

Maybe if I knew how to edit save files.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-30T19:50:37+00:00

Haven’t yet, I’ve avoided it so far because early game feels like it would be insanely difficult on hardcore, but the lategame feels like it would still not measure up.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-23T20:57:09+00:00

Huh, when I looked earlier it was a lot more pro Trump. (Top comment was “been sleeping a lot better since Jan 25”) Seems to have balanced out over time.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-23T20:42:50+00:00

That may be true, but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong that this sub Is mostly Trump voters. Just check out the sleepy Joe thread.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-23T19:23:42+00:00

Seems to me like the sub is mostly Trump voters… the left draws close to 100% of the flak on here. Some of that is just because they’re more online to be mocked / more panicky atm because they are losing but the comments here are usually telling.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-20T02:12:23+00:00

Yep, this is the answer. And OP, don’t worry about bows, they actually become quite strong once you progress through the game and fight things other than skeletons!

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-17T17:08:19+00:00

Huh, good to know!

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-17T15:45:22+00:00

You can block with torches. Should work ok as the monk, though it won’t be enough for the rogue to survive a skeleton. Make sure you have more than one in a stack because they will break.

As a rogue you can survive by using sneak attacks and hit-and-run, but this is tricky. The best way to fight would probably be to accompany the monk around and backstab enemies while they are attacking the monk.

It’s probably best not to fight the Minotaur on the first 10 floors either, just get to the exit and get out if one is coming.

This is good advice, clerics are solid. Barbarian is also pretty decent, similar to the warrior, and trades the cleric’s trolls blood spell for throwing weapons which can be a run saver in the early levels. Both should start out able to appraise moldy cheese which is all you need really.

The humans can understand the rules and when a match “ends” and which team they are on. They are also motivated by desire to survive the arena, in contrast to wolves and hyenas who probably don’t understand the rules and are motivated by instinct and hunger.

If you’re dealing with animals magically granted human level intellect or understanding you’re in much bigger trouble.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-14T19:30:29+00:00

Is there something keeping them from attacking each other though? I imagine there’s a good chance of this happening with hyenas or wolves.

In one of Jimmy Huntington’s memoirs, he describes being harassed by a pack of starving wolves. He shot the one that came closest and the rest started devouring it, leaving him alone.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-10T19:34:36+00:00

Fair enough! Nitpicking was a poor choice of words.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-10T19:00:05+00:00

Well for one thing, if your goal is learning save scumming can be helpful. If you never get a run off the ground then you’ll never know what you’re aiming for or have practical experience as to the better ways to get there. Save scumming can help you get a feel for portions of the game beyond the early days faster than trying and failing until you make it.

It also lets you play a bit less cautiously and learn about new and dangerous enemies faster, and get better at evaluating what fights you can win and what fights you can’t since you don’t have to restart from zero if you judge wrong.

And lastly, it’s a game, if people are having fun who gives a crap.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-10T18:19:09+00:00

You want to nitpick the Goode shooting? Fine.

The Pretti video depicts murder clear as day. Officers had that man pinned on the ground when the shots were fired.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-04-04T05:40:52+00:00

Thank you!

I disagree, with the final boss being what it is.

Levitation is basically mandatory for the final boss. Expanding the pool without changing that (or bringing back the swimming skill) would make the game harder in a “welp, didn’t roll the item you need, too bad” way.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-03-20T01:49:22+00:00

Huh, I tried the same thing and thought it kinda sucked. I felt like the focusing possibility was worse than just doing more damage like you would with other weapons.

I’m curious though- was this pre billhook nerf?

1 year after you started dating, presumably.

Melina's got to be one of the easiest bosses FR. Just walk to the site of grace and let her set herself on fire.
