Dungeons of Dredmor: Attempts 001-003

Attempt 001

Dungeons of Dredmor by Tom Throp

Diggles

The first thing I do is move, then I kick down this door and wander around in the dark cave for a bit. I kill something.

I’m getting the hang of the dungeoneering lark; I break down another door. And another. I kill more enemies. This isn’t that difficult.

Then I notice my low health drop even lower as I fail to disarm a trap, I try to eat something but I have vampirism as a skill, I can’t restore my health with food, I have to attack a monster. Maybe through this door?

I try to kick it open. Instead I stub my toe, the door doesn’t budge and I fall down dead.

Attempt 002

This time I start with lockpicks and vampirism again, I charge round the map breaking through doors and killing anything that moves. After a few teleporters I find some stairs and head on down. There’s a Zomby down here. And something called Deth. Throwing caution to the wind I charge them and easily win.

Nothing can stop me now. Then I get ambushed by two Zombys and a Deth and die on floor 2.

Attempt 003

I decide to be more careful this time, I stick to the first floor and realise that’s a map in the top right corner as I work my way through and reveal more and more of the map, I’ll slowly build up my skills and won’t rush on ahead this time. This time I’m going to own at this game, Dredmor better watch out.

Then I open a door to a room full of Diggles, at least a dozen of them. I attempt to use Dragon’s Breath but only get a couple before they overwhelm me and get me back for eating their eggs. Ah well, maybe next time.
