Where is Vecna ?

Hello there i am new to nethack and pathos. After grinding and getting every positive talents and maximizing resistances increase life/mana to maximum etc. i realized poliymorphing into best lich and maximizing life/mana with potions would be much better. But for this game its reaaaaaly hard finding information in internet. Like where is vecna? I suppouse dragolich in the lich tower. I play saryth skeleton wizard and i grinded almost every spell anc made them champion too so i would like to not die so i play caotious. But i cant find info and i dont want to smash my head to everything and die. So where is vecna can i just speedrun to her? Is polymorphing into dragolich would be better?

Easier End Game

I was getting tired of taking screenshots of every level to find my way back out. Turns out I didn’t need to. Yeenoghu was quite willing to follow me, so I took him on a 39 level tour of the dungeon and killed him on level 1. Walking back through the levels I'd already revealed, even with a demon lord in tow, was much easier than facing the changed levels you get after killing your nemesis.

This run also showed me why disintegration resistance matters. I’d always figured it was pretty much useless, but I’d apparently never hit the mid-game without reflection before. Around level 25 a group of yellow dragons destroyed my main weapon, my cloak, and my bag of holding with all my goodies inside before I could make a hasty retreat. Re-equipping cost me 2-3 hours of scrounging and crafting.

Lastly, it’s the first time I’ve made it out with my original pet. Though that did take saving the body and a well-timed raise dead spell right at the end.

How can I learn the intermediate to end game mechanics?

As the title says, is there any guide or good videos that explains what to do to progress in the game?
Example how to deal with the fountains, how to deal with the altars, I saw from a google search that the crafting stations should be used to craft potions of gain experience (or something by like that) - all these mechanics are not linear or easy to figure it out.

I’ve been playing for a couple of weeks on pc and iPhone but feel like I’m jumping around at random

Thinking about riding this Vorpal Jaberwocky from level 40 up to freedom

Hi I am on level 39 and mostly ready to take the boss and run to freedom. I am planning to try and ride it out like a hero on this Vorpal Jaberwocky (I have been feeding it well). I found a phasing gauntlet on 38 and gave it to my Jabberwocky and crafted a second one for me (just in case my plan fails). I listened to people about putting 2 x +5 strength rings on and this is also my main stats. I am fairly maxed out except for weapons. I just didn't get a good run on single hand weapons so I am going out with a +5 spear and +5 pickaxe. I am also thinking about going back to level one and leave all my loot there in a bag of holding for collection (or leave it all inside a sheep on level 1) and then leave the dungeon with max stuff. Does the dev put lava and other things on level 1 to mess people up who do this (ie your stuff is not there where you left it)? What are peoples expectations of how long my Vorpal Jaberwocky will live. :)
