House's power has been fixed! Probably! Half the house is no longer dead and the other half intermittently flickering! So far! Huzzah!

The cheevo? Theoretically, getting levels from weaker east stuff and then building up to take down the end game. It's... conceptually possible. It would involve a lot* of restarts, waiting -- hoping, begging -- that the RNG will give you just enough of a break early on to get your feet underneath you. You'd be (probably vainly) trying to prey on the rare low level critter (such as the aforementioned orc warriors, if you can get them sufficiently alone to get a kill in and survive afterwards.) enough times to slowly, painfully, eek out enough levels to attempt something riskier (and mind you, the risk involved in just that is such that for every attempt that actually works, you will likely die a dozen dog's deaths.), and then basically keep repeating the process until you've ground up enough loot and XP (a prospect that becomes much more palatable if you ever reach the point you can comfortably kill orc patrols. Good luck.) to push on through. If a million and one stars align, your every step defined by the RNG metaphorically fellating your character, and you play like a bronzed grecian god of roguelike gaming, you might be able to pull it off after a few dozen attempts. Mind you, that's not counting all the attempts in which the stars aren't aligned. There'd be a lot more of those.

Alternately. Memory. Freaking. Editor. T4 doesn't recognize that as cheating, so it'd come out looking like a legit character. Freeze your HP at max, give yourself infinite everything useful, and go to town.

*This is a grotesque understatement. I would expect at least several dozen attempts before one even started to get through, and several dozen attempts for each one of those lucky runs before you got even middingly further, and then probably several dozen more for each one of those, just for the privilege of getting completely demolished by the high peaks and endgame fight because you're still under-leveled and under-equipped. Many hundreds, probably thousands, of characters later, you might manage to kill one of the end game bosses. And then die. It is a Sisyphean hell of an achievement.

... for the test, I guess? S'pretty non-contradictory on my end, at least so far as the given questions go.

Alright, considering the lack of official moderation on the topic, I suppose I'll shelve this idea as approved for later.

If you're particularly worried, just... sling toady a PM or email, and ask. Couldn't hurt.

Odd. Couldn't seem to find the listing before. Thanks, though.

Looks like, of the four who got the Never There and Back Again, two of them are DG, a third is an impossibility (A cornac arcane blade. That also appears to no longer exist. There's one by the same name, but it's level 6.), and the forth both isn't in the vault and is sharing the same naming pattern that DG was using, which is somewhat suspicious.

Which is to say, basically, no, no one's ever actually gotten the achievement. Current holders seem to have grabbed it either by being DG or running into some sort of bug. Good to know.

Also, if you really want to throw an end-game antimagic character at lils, you can probably get in through debug zone teleportation.

... that said, two or three points into the first tier sun talent will let a sunpa pretty easily walk the first tier dungeons with that talent alone, and a decent-ish chunk of the not!daikara second tier ones, too. Push comes to shove, you can talent shuffle so as to put the points into something more late-game useful, but early on it makes things a fair bit easier.

Blankets and bleach, iirc. Some... sometimes you have to take things into your own hands.
