I killed a demon!
« on: April 10, 2010, 07:45:22 pm »

I was playing adventure mode with a modded-in race, and I traveled to the ruins of a "fortress" I had built over the ruins of a dark fortress  (way easier to move everybody into it than building/digging out stuff myself.) and digging down until I hit the underworld. I abandoned the fortress when one person was left. When I visited it in adventure mode, I took the staircase down to the second or third cavern layer, I wandered around, looking for the second staircase
I had dug near a magma pool, and although I couldn't find it, I came across a named demon and killed it easily. and the race I was using was on par with humans in terms of average strength. Anybody else have this kind of experience?

I did the same,except my adventurer melted after killing the demon.

But yes, some demons are too easy to kill.

My only experience with demonslaying was the lawgiver of a goblin civ. I had exceptional full bronze plate, so he couldn't scratch me (even his "harmful blood" didn't hurt), but dang if he didn't take FOREVER to die! Even gushing goo from a dozen wounds, he kept charging and charging. I quickly realized that it was an awesome idea to stand between him and a wall, so he runs into the wall and I get a couple turns of going ape on him. Fun times.

heh, that's nothing, i once entered an elf town and asked for a job, they told me to kill
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
that was in the middle of attacking the town right at that moment. i found it being attacked by pathetic wood-clad elves. i observed it -being wary of the random tricks such creatures had, then right before my eyes it
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
i steeled myself for a deadly fight, i lost quite a few dwarfs and adventurers from such a beast -and having no ranged weapons to distance myself from it. i would move in and strike with my sword, dodging back every few turns
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
only just dodging them. eventually it gave in to pain and bled to death shortly after. i was engraved a hero for many years after that.

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...
It should be pretty fun though.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

I agree with Gaxkang, you should censor it so new people can discover these things on their own; it is much more fun that way.

Did you guys get the description of your

  It wasn't able to get any damage on me because of my shield and armor but it was also very hard to do any damage to it. Eventually I was able to lop its head off with my axe. Luckily none in my pack of 30+ children got hurt in the fight.

I wonder if fighting bigger creatures is a lot easier now. First adventurer I created, I ran into a 7-headed hydra on my first quest. I thought for sure I was going to die, but then it charged me, missed, and I stabbed it from behind and hit its heart. The fight continued for several rounds. It missed me each time, and I ended up either slicing open one of its necks or shattering one of its skulls with each swing, until it fell over dead.

Demons really are quite weak. I kill them really easy, they tend to not land even a single hit.

I noticed that a Warthog Demon I killed, in the description, was listed as having "Deadly blood"

Is there any way to use that to my advantage?  =D

if you have an glove you can slap people with the blood with out getting infected with it.

 still you could have executed that demon with out causing every one in that town to get mad by staging an accident with a cave in, your adventure still get his fame and won't be run out of town.

.. ive found you can pick up, store, and later throw the blood of most creatures. also, throwing body parts leaves massive trails of blood across the ground. collect as much of this dangerous blood and smallish bits and pieces as you can, and experiment, for science.

also, before i began killing them, the humans inhabiting a series of dark towers told me their civ leader was a "turtle fiend." i look forwards to fighting this turtle fiend, but i will wait till i am somewhat better at killing thigs first, and make sure i have a lot of meatshields.
