- DUNGEON HACK - TIPS & HINTS
-
- "I have made a wonderful discovery! Even though I am not a thief, gloves of
- dexterity allow me to pick locks."
- "Beware of the creature known as an ankheg, it can spit a stream of highly
- corrosive acid at its victim."
- "The spells of fire that I cast do not seem very effective against the undead
- beasts that roam these halls."
- "Those who rely on the keen edge of a blade in battle will inflict little harm
- against creatures made of bone."
- "If I had not found the protection against paralyzation scroll earlier, the
- carrion crawlers would have destroyed me."
- "Had I known the chimera could breath fire, I would have prepared some sort of
- protection against such an attack."
- "I have seen several cockatrice within these halls, but they did not get close
- enough to turn me to stone."
- "I fear that a dragon could be here. There are signs of great lightning damage
- that only a blue's breath weapon could do."
- "I think again of the signs marking the presence of a dragon. Most dragons, as
- I recall, have some resistance to magic."
- "I remember early teachings concerning elementals. I do believe they are
- invulnerable to all but magical weapons."
- "I would imagine that only weapons of magical nature have the power to hurt the
- stone-like monsters known as gargoyles."
- "I had little trouble defeating the ghouls, but I hate to think what would have
- happened if one had paralyzed me."
- "I encountered an entity known as a grave mist, it appeared unhurt by all
- weapons save those of magical nature."
- "I managed to best the grave mist, but not before it struck me several times,
- weakening my constitution."
- "Strange. The grave mist almost seemed to heal itself when struck by my
- cold-based spells."
- "Flesh golems are not only invulnerable against normal weapons, but they also
- appear to be magic resistant."
- "It seems as if the banshee are immune to cold and electrical-based magic."
- "I was not prepared when the lady, or should I say hag, revealed her true form
- and set upon me with her claws."
- "It is a well known fact that a death knight cannot be turned. However, this
- mattered little to me, for I am a mage."
- "If it were not for my silver dagger, I would have needed an enchanted weapon
- to fight the wererats that I encountered."
- "I think it is an ioun stone -- a yellow spindle -- that offers some protection
- against the medusa's petrifying gaze."
- "Beware of an arrow shot from the bow of a great medusa, for they are often
- poisoned!"
- "I am thankful for the fire-based spells at my command. They were most useful
- against the mummies that I encountered."
- "I have learned that even magical weapons do not seem to inflict much damage
- against a mummy."
- "Not only are mummies unharmed by cold-based spells, but they are also immune
- to poison and paralyzation."
- "The bite of a spirit naga is poisonous, so it is wise to keep a few vials of a
- cure poison potion at hand."
- "I imagine the thick rubbery hide of an ogre slug offers the monster added
- protection against blunt weapons."
- "More than once, the ogre slug I was fighting attempted to hit me with some
- sort of corrosive spittle."
- "One could only surmise that an ogre slug, which spits acid, would be immune to
- similar attacks."
- "An adventurer should have an enchanted blade at hand if he wishes to do battle
- with a shadow."
- "It seems as if many creatures within this dungeon are immune to cold-based
- spells, and the shadow is no exception."
- "...and the chilling touch of the shadow seems to draw physical strength from
- its victim."
- "My fire-based attacks do not seem very effective against the shambling mound's
- wet and slimy nature."
- "As well, the cold-based spells at my disposal do not seem to inflict full
- damage against the shambling mound."
- "A shambling mound does not seem harmed by crushing blows, nor do edged weapons
- appear very effective."
- "Like several other creatures within this dreadful place, the sheet ghoul can
- spit a highly corrosive acid."
- "...thus the touch of a spectre drains two life energy levels from its victim."
- "Only weapons ensorcelled with a magic enchantment have the power to harm a
- spectre."
- "It seems as if the spectre, like most undead, is immune to poison,
- paralyzation, and cold-based spells."
- "One could reason that a raise dead spell would utterly and completely destroy
- a spectre."
- "Much like the scorpion, I now know that the stinger of a tlincalli releases a
- very deadly poison."
-
