Re: Solo runs with various champions
Wow, I just suggested it half-jokingly as a possible means to do a "Challenge Mode" run of some kind. That's pretty crazy that some people are actually attempting it. But are you gonna do CSB as well?

Re: Solo runs with various champions
Thanks, it did actually take me a couple of hours. I decided to clear out the rooms on the Couatl level even though they are not all necessary but the Illumulet made life a bit easier when torches were in short supply. I also killed the Dragon though not necessary but I bypassed the Stone Golems. Once he got to Adept Fighter and Ninja after training in the Screamer room (plenty of jabs and punches), he was a force to be reckoned with. I didn't get killed but wasn't far off when I got cornered by Skeletons after retrieving the Vorpal Blade. Perhaps, on reflection, the other Vorpal Blade would have been easier to obtain.
I think that CSB would require different tactics.
Re: Solo runs with various champions
The usual lol - Stamm. I need to splice some saves together as didn't have the time to do a full single run. I've lost a little bit of my speed too!
Re: Solo runs with various champions
Yeah - if I were going to attempt this, I would probably use Stamm, myself. It's really crazy that there are people like the two of you who can zip through a challenge run so quickly!

Finally got over my procrastination and got around to finishing my Gando run in CSB
Re: Solo runs with various champions
Wow - Gando must be one of the characters with the lowest Vitality in the game if he only has 40 after you completed both Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back!

Re: Solo runs with various champions
I just had look in the wiki, and his starting vitality of 33 is actually the lowest of them all. The second lowest is Gothmog at 34, and there are a few champions who have a starting vitality of 35.
Re: Solo runs with various champions
Yeah - I checked myself after making my last post. I recall Hissssa being one of the Champions who starts with only 35 Vitality from my last playthrough....

Not bad. I think I tried using Zed during my very first attempt at this game - I liked the fact that his stats were so well-rounded....

Re: Solo runs with various champions
The first time I ever played was with Zed (and others, I didn't realise until a few years later that you didn't have to use 4 characters). It was the extra torch that swung it for me. It wasn't until the past few years when I realised that starting equipment really doesn't matter and decided to take just Hissssa.

The CSB run with Mr. Average has now been completed
I had to take the long way to get the Ros corbum this time, because meynaf has removed the shortcut in his version.

Re: Solo runs with various champions
Great job, RogerS! If you do another run, which apprentice do you think you will use next?

Re: Solo runs with various champions
If you would like a real challenge, use an editor to replicate one of these characters:

I have never tried DM or CSB with them, but I did (after what felt like an eternity) finish Conflux with them. I'd say it's doable...

Re: Solo runs with various champions
Am I reading correctly that those characters all start with 1 Maximum HP?! That sounds pretty hardcore....

Re: Solo runs with various champions
Absolutely. They are known as the "Maleficent Guild" in Conflux. More info here:

I don't think that DM would be too bad after war crying and throwing objects on the first level to gain a couple of levels. I'd imagine that carrying anything other than essential items would be extremely difficult (it was in Conflux).
Re: Solo runs with various champions
Wow - that's pretty crazy. I do believe it would be possible to complete the game with those characters, though....

Re: Solo runs with various champions
Well, people did finish Conflux with them so DM should be a walk in the park compared to that.
Re: Solo runs with various champions
There's something kind of funny about a creature who looks like that being an Expert Fighter - congratulations on getting through the run so quickly!

Re: Solo runs with various champions
Not stranger than someone who looks like Tiggy being an expert fighter, or someone who looks like Halk being an expert wizard
Re: Solo runs with various champions
I did think it was pretty hilarious during my last run when I was able to get Halk all the way to Archmaster Wizard by equipping him with both the completed Firestaff and the Pendant Feral....
