#T o m e angband series#

First I am accosted about registering a new account to take advantage of a series of features.

If you have the Anchor of Space-Time (or even an Amulet of Anti-Teleportation, a very weak second-best), bring it along by all means, even if you carry it as a swap.So I finally get around to trying to play this one, having played the old 'Tales of Middle Earth' many times. A vault with OOD monsters in a dungeon where the monsters are already levelled? Maybe not. Be cautious and paranoid, get the job done, and move on. If you can't take out an Ancient Dragon with one or two spells or blows, you might want to think again.Įxcessive sightseeing is a good way to get yourself dead in Angband. It would be a good idea to have your character maxxed out, or nearly so, before attempting this dungeon. Morgoth, who may be present at DL 100 or deeper, but only after Sauron has been finally killed. He can also appear on DL 99 at Mount Doom. Sauron, who may be present at DL 99 or deeper. FF quests can occur, though! This means that if you have a FF quest for, say, 20 Great Storm Wyrms on DL 70, you will have to contend with those monsters as well as those normally found in The Crypt. The Princess room will not until you leave the level and then come back again. If you requested lots of random quests at character creation, you may get a Princess or FF quest proclamation when you enter one of these levels. The Dimensional Gates, aka DimGates, at DL 85.

Otherwise, your entire piles of CCW and Healing potions will be long gone before you've gotten very far.Įxtra copies of spellbooks, if that applies and you don't have Fire immunityĪs many resists covered as possible by equipmentĪrmor class (though resists and avoidance are more important) Special Levels Immunities (highly recommended, especially fire). Potions of Resistance, the Character Armour spell, etc.)

Monster detection (especially for those levelled monsters whose breath you would like to avoid!).

Teleport/other means of escape and/or avoidance.

Food (Junkarts of Satisfy Hunger are very handy.).

A few more XP, yes, but only an insignificant number. To add insult to injury, you will not receive a commensurately increased number of experience points by killing them. The list of monsters includes summoners, breeders, powerful melee-ers, and groups of breathers. This means that every monster you encounter will be far tougher than any of its brethren that you might have previously encountered elsewhere, just as on a God quest, but Angband is deeper than any God quest. The MonstersĪll monsters in Angband are levelled. You can genocide in Angband, but as usual, let the user beware. Single (frequently nasty) traps, and single fountains. Physically, the dungeon is fairly typical - rectangular rooms with 1-square-wide corridors. Wait until it yanks you to the surface, and then recall back to the depth you were at previously. cast recall (scroll, rod or spell) and answer 'no' at the prompt 'Do you wish to reset recall to this level? (y/n)'. You enter (from wilderness) the first level of Angband (67 / 3350') and. If your recall destination has been set to a dungeon other than Angband, you need to do one of two things: You can't use probability travel, either. You can recall out and back in to Angband, but you cannot teleport into it via Thunderlord's Guild or reset recall to it. Windlords are tremendously chatty co-aligned monsters. You may also encounter one of the Windlords there. The wilderness level of Angband is frequented by dragons (baby, young and mature I've never seen an Ancient there) as well as other monsters of similar level. In spades.Īngband is due north of Bree, 16 steps through Overland travel if you have mountain climbing, a few more if you don't, as you'll have to detour around the mountains surrounding the Orc Cave. This is it, the one and only, and if you chose 98 quests upon character creation, this is where you'll pay for it.
