Best time i had with the game was chasing that first 9 challenge win.
I found a screen shot of when i met the dwarf king for the first time in may 2013.
Happy 12th birthday to the original Pixel Dungeon!
I recommend giving Horn of plenty some love if you find it as it makes On diet very easy.
You can for example combine snacking from horn of plenty with warrior iron stomach +2 to completely negate many of the strong attacks. For example Evil eye lasers, Yog Lasers and Tengu bombs.
Snacking from horn is crazy on Rogue too as you pretty much get infinite cloak charges with tier 2 perk mystical meal +2 that gives you 5 turn of artifact recharging.
On Mage you can use the horn with energizing meal +2 that gives you 8 turns of wand charge and just combine that with shield battery +2 for huge shielding.
You can bless ankhs even with Barren Land by throwing waterskin into a healing well and that fills it up to 20/20.
Ascending with the amulet grants you more score multiplier that makes the 1 million score much more easy to reach.
You probably had the million score run here by just doing On diet and by ascending. Ascending is quite easy if you just keep the amulet curse green by killing a few enemies every floor. Every boss floor while ascending also heals you to full health and people tend to forget that.
Welcome to the 9 chal club! Good job!
I think you can get away from the crab here by taking only like 2-3 hits from it.
You need to play with challenges enabled! Winning the game with no challenges is the tutorial.
I might have to try this on Rogue as last time i did not care for my score and got 1,9million
A warning would be cool just like with explosive curse.
Projecting war hammer with ring of haste was insane! Scroll of Metamorphosis gave me mages shield battery skill that let me get free shielding trough the run.
Awesome! When will the new badges show up as achievements on steam? I don't see them in the locked achievements section.
Always keep a torch lit so you don't get sniped from the darkness.
You should be able to dodge all Evil Eye deathgazes and Scorpion attacks with a rogue cloak +10.
Use scrolls of magic mapping and potions of mind vision in demon halls to quickly locate the Demon Spawner so it does not have time to spawn too many Ripper Demons.
Smoke bomb for Rogue tier 4 is a good way to dodge Evil Eye deathgazes if you get caught off guard.
Got the war hammer from caves as a +1 with a blazing enchantment. Had it as a corrupting war hammer in dwarf king and later got lucky with the vampiric enchantment! Last SoU used on arcana ring for them juicy vampire heals. Ring of arcana was originally a ring of haste+2 that i transmutated.

Just picked up an enchantment stone 8 turns before death and instantly used it got vampiric on the greatsword... Anti-magic spinner surprises me and gets me poisoned. This was the RUN!!!
Died to deferred damage from fighting with last pair of fists. I still might have won by using one of my scrolls of retribution or scroll of psionic blast to kill Yog then go into amulet room->Magical sight potion->stone of blink and end the game before deferred damage finishes me off.
Complete run on my twitch. Vampiric Katana +7 with Ring of Arcana +3 Run starts at 1:06 after a few failed attempts https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2060594978

Horn of plenty, Rogue cloak and Round shield +9 combo almost did the job.
I made a few big mistakes that cost the run. Tried to use healing bomb for the first time ever in the game but it poisoned me twice and made me waste my full water flask. I could have had a blessed ankh on Yog that would have saved me from a big hit from Yog laser. Died to the second pair of Yog fists after killing the white one. Had plenty of resources left and a full water flask ready.
Forst elemental as a blazing champion so its immune to fire.
Seems like a pretty good spell for 9 challenge!
