CaravelNet doesn't seem to be fully working yet - the secret room I'm talking about isn't showing up even though I've been there. Last chance to avoid *MAJOR SPOILERS*!



EDIT: Hmm. That's odd - I posted this in the DROD RPG H&S board.

As Fafnir is talking about the first half of the game.

Can you get back after doing all the "rule" levels?

This is automatically going to be vague as I don't have DROD RPG at work, but...

Alas, to my detriment, I do.

Oddly enough, I have the second thing you mentioned, but not the first. Unless you've gotten your rooms mixed up,


Edit: Yep, there it is. Must've used it on the adder first time around...

Oh my, and I did everything without the bomb. Yeah, it really LOOKS like a real bomb. And according to a wise old Smitemaster. Never touch a bomb!

Ah, but that's the thing - you can bump into a bomb with Beethro (and Tendry) without problems, just keep your sword away from it...

Erm. No your question doesn't fit this topic.

There's a topic on the General Board with a list of numbers of rooms in each level. You should try that.

And if you've never seen the General board before, now it's the time.

OH NOOOOOOOOES!
I just solved the entire second part of the game in one sitting.
Only to find out I'd been doing it wrong all along! I used the .
That was really cheap, guys! I mean, come on! DROD isn't about grinding!

This shouldn't be like that. There should be an early warning that doing what I did isn't optimal...

Eh? How would you suggest the game do this? IMHO, being optimal is for high-scorers and requires repeat play. It's probably a lousy dungeon design that everyone completes optimally on their very first run-through -- that would seem to imply there aren't really any decisions to make at all.

True, but this isn't just being suboptimal, it's locking yourself out of whatever's down that staircase (you know the one I mean). Just something like Tendry saying "Of course, I could have killed it the old-fashioned way, but..." would do the job.

I have completed the game with 95% of secrets (97% game completed). I have managed to kill Slayers in both parts of the game and The Archivist in the second part. I have got every item in the first and second halves (no Really Big Sword in first and no Portable Orb in second as i think they aren't there) and now I don't know if I have missed something in first or second half and how many rooms I have missed. Maybe someone had similar score and managed to get to 100%, how many secret rooms am I missing?

I'm cross-posting the answer from the General Board here, since I was unable to find it at first: (Thanks RoboBob3000)

Secret Rooms for DROD RPG

If the moderator is watching this info is a good candidate for a sticky post on this board: I think everyone wonders about it on a game replay.

After replaying the game and being pretty much as efficient as possible aiming for max ATK, spending Greckles at the machines only in the Goblin and the Pirate parts in order to make it possible to advance with enough health, killing but those opponents where I would have taken exorbitant health damage with the Lucky, and visiting the guy who increases your stats by 3% at the very end, I managed to get 503 ATK, enough to engage the archivist, haveing used the hand bomb on the adder. Alas, while I still had more than 16,000 health after beating the slayer, in order to beat the archivist with my stats (503 ATK, 365 DEF) I would have needed more than 144,000 health!!
So I wonder, is it even possible to beat the archivist without using the hand bomb on him? If somebody managed this, could you PM when and where you used the machines to add ATK?
