I have illuminaire and have checked every floor up to level 20. Anyone else experience this? Orcs have invaded my run if that makes a difference

I mean they had the strength of melee weapon that being that they don't required ammunition, and they had the strength of ranged weapon because they can extend more than one tiles.

You pretty much always win against anything that wasn't faster than you or got no ranged attack. Combined with Light Spell, you could kill pretty much anything in game.

Hail adventurers!

Pathos has been free to play for over ten years. Coming soon, an enhanced edition will be available on Steam, finally giving you a way to support its continued development. Most importantly, the free editions aren’t going away. I want Pathos to remain accessible to everyone, regardless of whether they are able to purchase the Steam edition.

Pathos has been due for a visual upgrade and this Steam edition takes inspiration from ‘old book illustrations’. The result is a spectacular fusion of retro aesthetics and modern usability.

The key art features Struth von Winkelried who is a legendary character of Swiss folklore, based on a real-life knight.

>Struth attacked the dragon single-handedly, armed with a spear of which he had attached sharp barbs. The dragon, seeing that the attacker was alone, came from his hiding-place and attacked with open jaws.

Winkelried was able to transfix the monster with his spear, hacking at it with his sword until it died. Glad for his victory, Winkelried lifted his sword over his head, thanking God, and the dragon's blood dripped from his sword blade on his body, poisoning him so that he died a few days later. 

Sounds like perfect YASD to me!

Anyway, this is a mumak, as you may recognise from Pathos. Just your typical, bizarre quadruped monster.

Well, sometime in the 1800s, someone had already come up with this idea. Or had a very specific kink. Behold, the Mommy Mumak:

I hope you’ll love Mommy Mumak and this Steam edition of Pathos as much as I do :D

If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up anytime.

Callan.

I have to say that I find dhak legacy to be just unreasonably difficult. Just getting out of the starting block is near impossible. The trolls are enough of a problem, but the wizard leprechaun(s!) animating your stuff in the middle of it all is a deal breaker.

Not to mention seriously limited resources, gold, shop inventory, etc.

If anyone has any pro level tips I'd take them.

Honestly I really like the idea of bespoke maps for Pathos, I wish there were more, and I wish the only one there is wasn't ridiculously hard so as to be unplayable. 😕

I see in master mode you can have 100 resistance to everything so I have two questions first:with 100% resistance to everything are you truly immortal or is there still a way to die(from what I tried I can’t die without quitting)second: is it possible in normal mode or does it have a limitation like you can’t get some resistance in normal mode

Happened completely by accident, but worked really well.

Was fighting the final round of adult dragons in dhak legacy, which can be challenging. Fighting silver dragon is tough because his breath attack is force bolt, so reflection doesn't help.

Somehow, I have no idea why, he got punished with gluttony. As I was running from him, buying time, we transported to the large outer room, which was filled with the 2,000 nutrition beefs left over from living walls.

As the silver dragon was following me, he crossed over a beef, and was compelled to eat it due to gluttony. Well, you know how long it takes to consume a beef, a few turns at least - and the dragon was helpless as he digested, and I just kept striking! I killed him before he had a chance to recover.

So, interesting idea to me. If gluttony is punished, lure enemy over to large amounts of food, and take advantage of the delay from eating!

Broke my PB last night, new pr stands at 157,891. I know, I know, long road ahead, but forward progress is always nice to see.

I dipped my toes into floor 7, discovered the mines, and the "bonus" gold boulder stage. So that was fun.

Learned that while the gamd does work against you NORMALLY, having Dwarf Fugitive Convict is like cranking up the difficulty, and having Satyr Skeleton Wizard is setting you up for an..."easier" run. Not that anything about this game is "easy", mind you, but it is fun!

Got me thinking.

What build (Race, Special, Class) have you had the MOST FUN with? Not "What's your best build". Not "What Special should I pick for this race or that class". What build have you had the most fun with, and why? Stories always welcome if you got 'em. I kinda feel like that's the whole point of a community like this.

Any tips?

I just killed the dwarf king and now I'm confused about what to do, I know the game is far from the end, give me some advice...

Pls tell me how to make ring of slow disgestion

Or am i missing something?
Because i know you can use your own png's, but considering the years spend into this game i still can't ger around the fact that none of them graphic styles has a complete set of character portraits and i don't get it.
i know there need to be a lot with all the races and classes, but c'mon: after all these years??? why having 4 styles when they're incomplete....

Hello all. New player here.

Stumbled across the game after a binge of watching youtuber Reggie make some batshit crazy unhinged story runs with CoE5. Was looking for a free game that would cater to that sort of insanity and here I am.

I've dipped my toes in and am living the randomness of the events. Feeding a chicken a scroll and it poops out a bag? Yes please. Open that bag to see what's inside only to be teleported and swarmed by enemies? Ah, yes, home, finally.

That said, I am currently finding it extremely difficult to push my Dwarf Convict Fugitive past floor three.

The Kops gangr××××g me on 2, I expected. I'm a fugitive convict--it makes sense. But using the stairway as a turkey shoot USUALLY works just fine to combat that swarm, so long as my Imp can hold out long enough to actually HELP ME.

But I'm looking at stats and...dear gods, is the entire GAME against you as a Dwarf Fugitive Convict?

I'd ask for alternate build ideas--and I'll give consideration to all suggestions, but I like the challenge of building the character from nothing into an absolute game-breaking abomination that can kill God. And yes, I'm one of those Dark Souls 3 players who CHOSE (was it Enslaved?) that game's equivalent of our Dwarf Fugitive Convict here in Pathos.

I like the CHALLENGE. I don't like the game deciding that I deserve to be not punished but rather absolutely destroyed before what's left of my soul gets ××it on in front of my daughters simply for asking for a "fun challenge". This isn't a "fun challenge"! This is a hate crime!

Going down to 33 with satyr skeleton wizard level 23, killed red dragon witch dopped scales. I was short of fire resistance so I polymorphed to gelatinous cube with amulet of change.

Ate scales, got 100% fire resistance but there is no more revert from polymorphed form back to normal probably because cannot wear amulet. No ring of polymorph. Waited to get killed, then teleported around to find peaceful spot to wear all my gear. Ended get killed.

Sad because it was fun run with phasing gauntlets. Kited everything and got mana back up behind the wall.

Question is hunter viable because even though you can craft more bullet it uses the limited crafting table,if let’s say the crafting table didn’t have a limit it would be fine so what’s the strategy

How to i make a potion like "potion of gain level" or something?

I’m confused about one thin(I’m new)I don’t see any items that buff magic attacks(I tried to find on master mode)so the hell do you equip or are weapons just for the talents
