What should I do now? That gnoll is blocking the way out.

Use your range to take him out. Even when he's enraged, he won't go on the traps, so stay where you are and use your wands/throwables. You will end up taking damage from 2 traps, but it's no big deal, you got the hp for it.

Got any invisibility potions? Fear stones? Scrolls?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I would probably use a fear stone if I had one. Going back and using a fadeleaf would be a cheaper option but might result in jumping from the fire and into the frying pan.

(I enabled Barren Land).

[–] HopesBeyondTheSky 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah. All of them are worth choosing.

I think Aqua Brews is worth a try too. It’s good for dealing with fiery enemies, like Fire Elementals, but it’s also a good way to destroy traps.

Missed key 😵

The gnoll is not facing you.

If no exclamation mark (yellow-red) was shown, you may be able to tap the clock and wait for them to head back out.

You could fly to lower-left corner to be out of sight until they leave.

Also, always convert a teleport-scroll to purple diamonds, for this very eventuality.

Uhmm... Not. That gnoll is waiting for me. Pay attention to the text "You return to floor 12 of the dungeon".

I used an Aqua Brew to fill the traps with water, destroy them, then fought the gnoll. (I created these Aqua Brews as a way to deal with fiery enemies, like Fire Elementals).

OK, hard to tell because it is not a stair room, and you are above a trap.

All my runs consist of ignoring 99% of the bottom messages.

Thanks for the tip about Aqua Brews, will try making my first one.

If I remember correcty and that "bug" is still there, then you can that against the sentry. The sentry doesn’t target you because you are too close to it. It targets you because you are above the tiles. Water does replace them.

The vents in the toxic gas room probably also can be replaced with water, but I’m not sure.

But the main benefit of aqua brews is equipment that interacts with water like ice and lightning effects or armor that lets you walk faster on water or the goo-potion that only heals you on water.

Though I wasn’t aware that it can actually damage fire enemies. First thought this is only about countering burning debuff.

I filled the vents (in the Toxic Gas rooms) with water, and it really worked.

That means Aqua Brews have another use: get free Potions of Purity! I usually save Potions of Purity to deal with the Rotting Fist + another fist combo (especially ones with ranged attack ability). When you enable the Badder Bosses challenge, two fists will appear at the same time).

(I only have the screenshot of the result. Sorry).

Aqua Brews

You can use them to rig the floors (for ascension). You have a lightning wand, which gets stronger on water.
