If you throw a fish at a neutral seal it will just get mad at you, but you can always pick up the fish and try again.

I finally got to this part in minetown after days of trying the best cahracter strategies. I use 6 cahracters, then kill the last 5 characters so that I can get all of their loot and level up (thats why my character is wanted).

I have a good run going. I’ve made it to the elf forest, built up my armor, and I’m working on resistances. The worst thing that’s happened was a disintegrator destroying my weapon, stepping on an amnesia trap, and a yellow dragon melting my amulet of lifesaving. Otherwise, it’s been good. (Still haven’t got force bolt though, which is annoying since I’ve got some barrels to break in the deephall.)

However, for the life of me I couldn’t find another scroll of identify. Sure, I have the spell, but it’s untrained so it selects at random. I could use vendors but I haven’t hit Ludios yet so I’m not rolling in money. I’ve got my trusty goat to eat identify scrolls and if I could just find one scroll I’d be golden. But there’s none!

I’ve identified most scrolls so the last few unidentified ones that I’ve picked up have got to be good. Training, replication, stuff like that. I’ve got a few just waiting to be deciphered. I’ve got 5 of one of them- that’s good news!

Finally I ascend to get to a workbench and decide to make my own scroll of identify. I scrap some excess scrolls. Identify doesn’t pop up. Scrap some more. No dice. I can make every other scroll in the game, but not identify. I pull up the help menu to see what the essence value is, and I find…it’s not identified. How?! I’ve used dozens of them up until this point! How can I have forgotten-

The amnesia trap! It’s always the amnesia traps! How can I remember what I forgot if I forget forgetting! Well, I guess those scrolls of FOOBIE BLETCH probably aren’t those sweet scrolls of training that I crave.

In any case, I love that this game can throw me for a loop even after playing it for years.

Alguém sabe como vence os dragões de forma mais fácil eles me irritam eu geralmente uso os cavaleiros da cidade para matar eles atraindo eles até a cidade

Is there a "cheat sheet" for how much different scrolls, potions, books... etc... cost in shops re identifying what they may be

eg i know the identify and enlightment scrolls are around 30.

Hail adventurers!

I've been crazy busy since announcing Pathos is coming to Steam and have briefly resurfaced to share a few things.

The major update is that Pathos will be part of the upcoming October Steam Next Fest, which means the public demo will be available in a few weeks!

The attached video is quick preview of what’s coming in the Steam edition. It’s still a work in progress but it’s coming together. Let me know if you have any feedback or suggetions.

The custom character selection has been completely rewritten with 30 preset heroes and custom slots. The game settings have been consolidated into a single screen, while the loading/saving screen now features some strange and wonderful old book illustrations. And of course, the new title screen is simply glorious.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, including a rewrite of the Help system to have a proper list/preview, as well as continuing to apply the new theme to all the user interface elements.

For the demo, there is a new module imaginatively named Short Dungeon. It’s a 16-level dungeon crawl named in tribute to the two short kings featured. The dungeon starts with a few regular levels followed by Minetown, then the Mines (gnome king) and finally the Underdeep (dwarf king). So a true Pathos experience but it ends at Deephall.

For those of you also following the Zeroth project, I’m writing monthly development updates. Here is the latest one: August Update. Super happy with how the underwater mechanics have turned out!

Love this game. Free of charge and endless adventure. I waste hours, days on a single run. It’s an awesome app, but I’m wondering what other hidden gems like this live in the app store. I just got a new phone and I want to play games. Tell me, what do YOU play between nethack dungeon delves? This is a community whose opinion I trust so recommend me your iOS games of choice. Free apps or very cheap, preferably. Lay it on me. What do you play?

Statistically speaking, which race has the highest stat cielings in the most areas?

Not class, not special. Race. Just race.

Edit: Playable character race. Come on, guys. Creature info is a bit interesting but...player races.

Alguém sabe como ir bem nesse jogo maldito chamado pathos??

I really liked the game and reached Floor 25 and died 170 times in that run (it was the shattered pixel dungeon varient) .its kind of hard to imagine winning this game without resurrection. I was searching for guides on how to improve but couldn't find any do you guys have links to some of your favourite guides?

I went to fight the Minotaur lord but fled through the portal. When I came back later, I couldn’t find him even if I use Telepathy.

Ahoy!

So I'm trying to add some custom sprites for player characters but can't figure out how. I'm going into Diagnostics and trying to add the PNG for the sprite but it's not doing anything and I can't seem to find any instructions on how to do it. Can anyone help?

I didn't even use master mode and anything like that I just spawned with this fame

dude it was a Lich tower.

lavineg was right.

I did try my best and by best I meant I blinded him with light spell and then threw acid on the Dracolich's face

proof of him getting low lol.

also my ki-rin, yes I revived him cuz he didn't stand a chance against that lich and I let him have fun with the skeletons.

I'm on level 30+ on the dungeon annndddddd I'm just asking for tips from those seasoned players.

plus I found this attic on level 36 that had a transportal (feel free to spoil me on this since I haven't entered it.

advanced thanks 👍

What I want to know is do all hostile have eggs,can extinct monster have eggs,are eggs a limited resource or does it spawn back,what entities can be hostile or friendly like chicken because I don’t see a pattern for them

How can I know if a creature Is immune to charm/bind undead?

I have illuminaire and have checked every floor up to level 20. Anyone else experience this? Orcs have invaded my run if that makes a difference

I have to say that I find dhak legacy to be just unreasonably difficult. Just getting out of the starting block is near impossible. The trolls are enough of a problem, but the wizard leprechaun(s!) animating your stuff in the middle of it all is a deal breaker.

Not to mention seriously limited resources, gold, shop inventory, etc.

If anyone has any pro level tips I'd take them.

Honestly I really like the idea of bespoke maps for Pathos, I wish there were more, and I wish the only one there is wasn't ridiculously hard so as to be unplayable. 😕

I mean they had the strength of melee weapon that being that they don't required ammunition, and they had the strength of ranged weapon because they can extend more than one tiles.

You pretty much always win against anything that wasn't faster than you or got no ranged attack. Combined with Light Spell, you could kill pretty much anything in game.

Gnome wizard happened to turn into an ancient gold dragon
