If you want to beat Gravios I highly suggest keeping him near some ledges so you can repeatedly hit him with aerial strikes and mount 4+ times. If you can manage that, you'll break his back and his chest quite easily, as well as opening up opportunities to beat on him while he's downed.

If you're not hitting the chest, try to break the legs, even if you're bouncing off. If you can break them you won't bounce off them anymore (unless your sharpness is really, really bad) and that will allow you to hit them repeatedly to incur a trip, which will give you MORE opportunities to hit him while he's down.

I get the impression that Qud is relatively unknown. Which is a shame because it is awesome.

I have a friend who doesn't even like non-graphical roguelikes but he just keeps coming back to Qud, says he can't get enough of it. If that isn't a testimony to its awesome, I don't know what is.

I recommend just using the default standard weapon and see if you actually like it before you invest a bunch of resources into getting the best.

I just noticed I can straight up forge the Examplar Blade for fairly cheap so that's a good idea.

EDIT: Goddamnit. I've been doing a few of the tutorial just to tip my toes into the various weapons. Now I kinda wanna try longsword too...

Seems you've fallen into the Monster Hunter trap. And I'm not talking about pitfalls and shock traps. I'm talking about the one where you endlessly desire more stuff.

Don't worry too much. It's inevitable anyway.
You'll never escape

I'm running out of stuff to do...

I've killed every GQ 140 monster. I've killed every monster in general. I've captured every capturable monster. I've mounted every mountable monster. I've killed all the meownster hunter monsters both low rank and high rank. I've collected all the poogie costumes.

I need to fight something harder! I need something like a GQ 180 monster or something.

Uh... beat every G-rank monster without armor?

Pro-tip: Don't kill zombie grenadiers in close combat.

I've currently got a PR up that should make it so they just drop active explosives instead of actually exploding, so that should make things a fair bit easier.

You mean they're not hooked up to a dead man's switch.... oh right..

I see what you did there.

Longsword is a good weapon, I don't see why you should have to switch out of it...

If you want something similar, you could go for Switchaxe. It's quite powerful, and while it might take you a bit to learn an entirely new weapon, it has both reach and speed which are similar to Longsword. The only thing it lacks is defensive abilities; the Longsword has those useful dodge attacks, and a number of other weapons have the ability to block - Switchy has none of that. It's a very berserker-like weapon. Fast, strong, and risky.

I have a friend who swears by it, though, so hey, it's got to be pretty good.

Unless you like shiny things, then you can make 2 dozen armor sets like me and not use most of them.
