This is now the fourth or fifth time someone has recommended this one to me....I think it is high time I pick it up!
Any advice for a first-time player?
Haha I had to chime in.
Best beginner tips - explore a level fully before you drink any potions. Certain "potion" rooms will always have the potion that solves the puzzle in them on the same floor -
Upgraded items (wands/armor/weapons# x , potions of strength, and scrolls of upgrade cannot be destroyed by bombs, or explosive traps/stones. This is a good way to identify items with bonuses (armor/weapons)
Well of health will cleanse all worm cursed items, heal you to fill, and remove all negative status (including hunger/starvation)
Oh also. Sneak attacking/surprise attacks - yellow exclamation above their heads. Moving through a door, with an anemy right behind, will close the door behind you, and cause them to have to open it - meaning you get a free chance to attack and auto-hit.
