The Summary
After a four year break, I once more felt like playing some ADOM again. I had been wanting to for a few months now, and have been disappointed to find that the current version of the game has an issue on Linux rendering it unplayable (all the colors are basically black making it impossible to see anything unless you get in extremely close).
The easy solution would have been to just reboot into Windows 10 on my desktop, but these days I have a perfectly good Windows 98 machine. Biskup has remained dedicated to legacy support and the latest free version of the game has builds for MS-DOS and Amiga OS and all sorts of systems meaning that I should have been able to play just fine on said machine. Instead though, I leaned into the "retro" label and opted to instead play a fan-patched version of ADOM 1.1.1 from 2002.
For more than a decade this was the definitive version of the game as development stopped and the fan-patch fixed a few nasty bugs. (I love the one where sometimes if you step on too many rocks the game crashes, or the one where if you pick certain talents at the start of the game it also crashes before you even finish character creation.) This was the version of the game I had gotten my first three victories on, with Micah, Moonshine, and Zamros.
I expected that I would find myself to have preferred the classic version overall. The new version adds quite a lot over this one, and these days I find myself not a fan of having to consult guides left and right. In the past, playing this version of the game I had no such issues with spoiling myself (and there's plenty to be said about traditional roguelikes and spoilers and the "intent" on how they should be mastered). Thanks to my decent share of old backups, not only did I have this classic ADOM, but also a saved copy of the old "ADOM Guidebook" which I consulted liberally and without hesitation, though mostly to verify my memories of things were accurate.
And that's just what got me to play the game! Then there's all the choices I made.
I had only played a handful of characters before managing to win, looking specifically at bards and archers. Bards offer completely random starting skills which can make for some extremely good combinations with some luck. None of them got all that far. The combination of human and archer however goes way back to when I first started playing the game. It was the first combination that let me feel like I could get anywhere. Human meant the "Food Preservation" skill so I wouldn't starve, and archer meant lots of arrows and being able to kill the raider lord immediately for 3000 gold. Despite always enjoying the class I hadn't actually won with one before, and it's always been high on my list of classes I'd like to finish the game with.
Archie had a somewhat shaky start. I wasn't sure if I was going to go for an ultra ending or not and began the game in my usual way by going to the bandit village to get a bandit for the first kill. Bandits are common enough that it's easy to get the courage skill that requires you kill 20 more of your first monster killed but rare enough that you won't have to go too deep into the Infinite Dungeon as a requirement of getting an ultra ending means going to the floor equal to the count of your first kill.
Except there was not a single bandit in the village! Stupidly in running around looking for one I ended up pinned between an outlaw and a mugger and had to choose one as a first kill instead. I went with outlaw, which is definitely rarer than a bandit and knew the courage quest was going to be a pain. While there I talked to the head of the thieves' guild and acquired the pick pockets skill, something which I used to neglect that's actually extremely useful.
I took a look at the Small Mountain Cave and had favorable stairs to the Unremarkable Dungeon below. Archers don't start with the healing skill though, so I headed out (unable to find the blanket in the SMC) and hunted down the raider lord for my 3000 gold. Then it was off the Village Dungeon to save the carpenter and get the healing skill from Jharod. An early floor offered a coaligned altar which meant easy holy water and being safe to try on new equipment without having to worry if it was cursed or not.
Somewhere in all of this I ran into a bad situation and had to pray to be fully healed. It was my only divine intervention needed.
After the VD it was off to the Puppy Cave where as always, I was far too late. Some people will purposely not complete this quest and use a wish for the dog instead, something I used to scoff at for being a waste, but now I have much more empathy for that lowercase t who lost her dog. After turning in the corpse I regretted not waiting to see if I could get a spare wish eventually.
This usual early game routine put me beyond level 10 and for my final quest of the early game I took the job to kill the crime lord. As an archer this isn't particularly hard, just a volley of arrows until the crime lord and his bouncers are dead. I used the money to pick up the detect traps skill from the head of the thieves' guild.
Since the stairs in the SMC were good, I was able to get into the Unremarkable Dungeon easily enough where I found another neutrally-aligned altar, some herbs, and a potion shop on the first three floors. Alas I also found a river on the third floor so I could neither reach the shop nor descend and had to turn around and head to the next area of the map via the wilderness.
The top levels of the assassins' cave and Darkforge had no special features. Getting an altar here is excellent since these areas are so easily accessed being in roughly the center of the game's map. I took the couragequest and needed to reach 22 outlaw kills in order to complete it.
Somewhere around here, something fantastic happened and by picking pockets I managed to acquire an artifact! The sapphire amulet, "Preserver". This was a pretty excellent find as most regular amulets don't offer nearly as much as Preserver, and there aren't many artifact amulets to begin with. Sure enough Preserver was my default amulet whenever I was in combat. It offers +7 willpower, poison/paraylsis resistance, gives luck, and best of all is a source of regeneration. 1HP restored per step, especially this early on is incredibly useful.
On D5 of the Caverns of Chaos I found yet another neutral altar. Going downward I reached Dwarftown on D10 and was deprived one potential advantage to playing an old version of ADOM. In newer versions, traps are completely random, but in 1.1.1 they follow a repeating pattern across each tile with the starting point within the pattern being based on what floor you're on. If Dwarftown happens to be on D9, the pattern allows you to create teleport traps in a way that you can get inside a sealed off room containing the Dwarven Mystic and then create another one while inside to get out. Provided you have teleportation control this lets you get in a little earlier and pick up some decent rewards without needing the spell or much less common wand of teleportation.
Thrundarr gives the player some quests. The first of which is to slay a randomly chosen monster. I got tarantula and it didn't take all that long to find one since there are plenty of dark elven enemies that can summon various spiders.
One nicety Dwarftown afforded me was the shop having some Bracers of toughness that gave +6 to the stat. I bought them and wore them for like half of the game until they were eventually destroyed.
On D14 I ran into a mixed vault with a doppleganger king and noped so hard. They're extremely powerful monsters that are not worth fighting even at high levels. They mimic your defenses, ignore armor, can inflict confusion, and deflect missiles. I have definitely lost several promising characters to them before. Also looking at the wiki, they've since been renamed "Ultimate Dopplegangers" since you can play as a female character.
The second quest from Thrundarr is to travel deeper downward, beyond a split in the dungeon where the path branches between the Animated Forest, a massive empty cavern filled with living trees that is extremely tedious to navigate safely in real time, and the Dwarven Halls two floors which have an extra high danger-level and are difficult to navigate safely instead. Normally I just go to the Halls as I don't have the patience for the trees. This was a big mistake this time as I found myself pinned between a ratling warlord (or some high level ratling) and a greater demon! Archie absolutely would have died here had I not thought to throw a potion of exchange at the demon, transforming it into something far less dangerous. The ratling still blocked the only way forward and I had to retreat and take the forest instead. It sucked.
This took me to D16 where Khelly lays dying on the stairs downward until the player either speaks with him or saves his life with an amulet of life saving. I got to give myself a heart attack when the game had me target Khelly instead of one of the chaos servants surrounding him and I attmpted to shoot him.
Saving Khelly is mandatory for an ultra ending and I still hadn't committed myself towards regular/ultra. Plus killing good guys usually has repercussions on the player. For now, I turned back and began my quest for an amulet of life saving, an obviously very rare item that even in the newer versions remains entirely luck based to find.
One of the quests from Dwarftown results in a wand of cold which would let me freeze the river back in the Unremarkable Dungeon. At this point, forward progress was blocked so anything else that could be done without having to endlessly search for items in the Infinite Dungeon was worth doing. Other options were to conquer the pyramid and to deal with the necromancer who had reanimated a Dwarven hero. I swept through the pyramid without any issues. There's a minimum and maximum level where it can be accessed and the guidebook makes it sound like a scary place where you should go in at the last possible moment, but for most characters there's really no challenge.
Finishing up the Unremarkable Dungeon meant access to the High Mountain Village and another shop, but for the most part the rest of that dungeon was a bust. The potion shop that I couldn't access before offered some decent items at least.
The graveyard also went smoothly. This area is a little tougher and I've had some nasty fights there before, but missiles are very powerful and the necromancer didn't last long.
After that, the only location left to really explore was the Tomb of High Kings. I had a helm of mental stability for confusion resistance to deal with its boss and once again not a lot of trouble getting through. Still, all these dungeons and no amulet of life saving. My options were to grind for one, or to just let Khelly die and take a normal ending.
I opted for the latter. I hadn't put any of the effort into getting an ultra ending and didn't want to turn the game into a slog. Even if you don't go for an ultra, saving Khelavaster is worthwhile as you get significantly better supplies from him if he lives, but I would make do.
This let me head downward to a few more unique floors in the Caverns of Chaos. I encountered a floor with a beehive and remembered that the banshee was a thing coming up, where you have to put beeswax in your ears to deafen yourself from her wail. Roguelikes are archaic. I descended to the next floor, got the message about death and decay, and put my only beeswax in my ears.
Then I remembered the CoC graveyard was a thing and that this was not the banshee level. Normally you go to the banshee's level, put in the wax, and kill her ASAP so you can undeafen yourself. Here I had no idea if the beeswax would eventually wear away after enough turns had passed and instead had to panic teleport through the graveyard and race to the stairs on the next few floors until I actually reached her. Thankfully my fears were unfounded and if there's a time limit on the wax it's very generous.
The weirdness with the banshee meant doing things a little out of order and doing the Water Temple before the graveyard. The first orb guardian has given me trouble only once and it certainly wasn't with Archie and his many many arrows of penetration. Bypassing armor only becomes more powerful as the game goes on and enemy defenses increase. At some point I acquired a spear of penetration which let me bypass armor in melee, though for the temples avoiding direct confrontation is essential to not wind up taking a lot of extra corruptions.
Going up through the graveyard, after clearing it out I marked all the "Great treasures are buried here" graves and dug them up. This can be dangerous depending on just what type of lich spawns when you do this, but even a modest stack of arrows of undead slaying make it a very viable and profitable technique. I wound up getting some seven league boots which have since been nerfed in the modern version of the game (for good reason). In this version, a blessed pair makes moving take 500 energy points instead of 1000, allowing the player to move two steps for every one the enemies get. If you aren't cornered, this is a near perfect means of escape from any combat, and if you're playing a spellcaster or missile focused class like say, an archer, you can frequently just alternate between stepping backwards and firing an arrow and be in no direct danger.
Later on I'd wind up getting some talents to reduce the energy cost of firing missiles. By the end of the game I could step backwards, fire three arrows, and then the enemy would get to move forwards once.
Oh yeah, at some point I got myself crowned as my god's champion. This gave me shock immunity (the second best immunity to get) and a really awful artifact, the obsidian quarrel "Thunderstroke". This was a missile that would require using a crossbow instead of a bow to fire, plus there's only one and in this version artifact missiles don't auto-return so I'd have to pick it up after each shot. It's very bad. Some of the other possible crowning gifts would have been more useful like the Shirt of the Saints or the longbow Sun's Messenger which I apparently got in three of my previous victories.
After the Water Temple though, the game kind of just stops. The next area is the Tower of Eternal Flames where the player constantly takes damage from the heat unless they have enough sources of fire resistance. Getting the resistance is easy enough (though if you get crowned with fire immunity it becomes a non-issue), however the real nasty part is that said fire damage also destroys your items. For items in your pack, blessed fireproof blankets are common enough that there's no need to worry, but the only way to protect vulnerable items you're currently wearing is by also wearing a ring of ice. This version of ADOM doesn't have any guaranteed ring of ice. Apparently it's from a bug where that Dwarven Mystic I mentioned earlier is supposed to give one to you with the other items if your alignment is lawful or neutral. The code actually checks that the player is lawful AND neutral, and thus always returns false.
The amulet of life saving and ring of ice grinds are definitely the low part of this game. One thing the modern releases do to make this part a lot smoother is the addition of a few new generic dungeons in the wilderness whose locations are randomized. In the modern game this means you can hit the Khelly/Tower (well, getting a ring of ice is easy enough now) roadblocks and have all these extra places to explore and maybe find things like altars, shops, or herbs. It dramatically smooths out the experience by offering the player something practical to do while searching.
In my case, the only option was the enter the Infinite Dungeon which randomizes every floor every time you visit it and hope for the best. None of those special features generate there so it's entirely just a case of wandering from floor to floor until you luck into what you want. Some players would go as far as to "stair-scum", where rather than explore the infinite dungeon they'd just stand on the stairs and cycle between two floors, only leaving to collect treasure in the room with the stairs. The modern game explicitly breaks this strategy by preventing items from spawning in the room with the stairs for this dungeon.
After much searching I did not find my ring of ice. One other tactic is "polypiling", where the player obtains a large stack of rings (or anything really) and dips them into a blessed potion of exchange. In the classic version I was playing, this would result in the stack of rings turning into a stack of a new ring. If you're lucky, you can wind up with a large stack of rings of djinni summoning, a pile of wishes. The newer versions again smooth things out where instead of a pile of 10 rings being turned into a pile of 10 of a new ring, it individually transforms each of them. This makes it so you won't get multiple wishes, but you will have a far better chance of getting a single wish.
I'm realizing that I'm writing this out of order since I did my ID dive and polypiling attempts before giving up on Khelly, and not for hunting a ring of ice (though that was on the back of my mind as well). I spent enough time doing this already and decided to instead run the risk and attempt the tower without a ring of ice.
Without a ring the tower gets much more difficult. Items that aren't made of a higher metal can just be destroyed in an instant as you climb four floors and fight the notoriously difficult Ancient Chaos Wyrm that guards the second orb. This is where I lost those bracers of toughness I had, some cloaks, and a few bows. I had to radically adjust my equipment to focus on items that wouldn't be destroyed.
Still, thanks again to slaying arrows, I was able to take out the Wyrm pretty straightforwardly. The only real trouble was that while using a wand of cold to cut through some of the weaker enemies, I managed to make him panic and he backed off into that lower right pocket for a bit. You never really go in the temple portion here and I feared I was going to have to stay here for quite a while if I had to fight through everything.
When you get the orb of fire, you reach a point where you should be able to win. This was a contender.
Once you get over that stagnant portion of the game befor the Tower, the rest of the game happens at a much faster pace. There are a lot of special floors in the lower part of the Caverns of Chaos that open up once you get the orb and can pass the wall of flames that blocks you otherwise. The casino offers a massive shop at inflated prices, but also slot machines you can gamble on. Amazingly, they're actually biased in the player's favor. As I always do, I picked a machine (the more expensive ones have better payouts) and weighed down the spacebar. Then I washed the dishes! You gotta do something practical while your spacebar is weighed down. The timing worked out perfectly, as I had about 1.9 million gold worth of items to buy and finished with 2.2 million.
The lower levels also mean greater vaults. I had one filled with ogre lords and fire giants which got me a few artifacts I didn't have any use for, but a ton of other generic loot as well. This undead greater vault was ignored entirely. That many stat draining liches, unnaturally aging ghost lords, and right in the center an emperor lich that can cast Death Ray. It sucks to skip that much experience and treasure but these things do not pay off.
The lower levels are home to the last three temples. The intended order is Air - Earth - Mana, but I've had better luck doing them Earth - Air - Mana. The Earth temple is challenging in that many of its occupants can move through stone walls so it's easy to get surrounded. Seven league boots and penetrating weapons helped make it managable. The Ancient Stone Beast that guards the orb isn't as challenging to fight as the Wyrm in the tower, but the real challenge is coming up with a way to do enough damage to get past its defenses. Khelly (alive or dead) gives the player a phase dagger that bypasses armor so you always have something, but at this point I was using a spear of penetration and getting all the benefits of using the weapon I was most trained with. I actually cleaned out the temple since the enemies weren't actually very threatening but still worth considerable experience.
Then it was time for the air temple I had skipped over which constantly has lightning similar to the tower's fire. The difference being that there are no items to mitigate the effects of lightning. The shock immunity from crowning meant no damage, and this temple is merely a half of a dungeon level so it's not unsurmountable. I put some of my better equipment on a different floor and hoped to get some decent rolls. For the most part I didn't lose anything too important, and once I got the Master Summoner out of the inner chamber I was able to back off and lure him out of the damaging temple area and fight him far more safely. The summoner can of course summon enemies and can basically summon anything in the game. For more he chose skeletons which meant there was nothing to worry about by this point in the game.
Finally there was the Mana Temple. At this point I was level 33 and a little cautious that I might have been underlevelled for this part of the game. I distinctly remember having a character get easily overwhelmed and die on the final floor of the dungeon at while level 33 and this temple was the last thing in the way before it. Still that was ages ago, and I was significantly more familiar with how to play.
But then I found a threatning room filled with greater molochs! In most cases, this would be something to run far far away from, but it worked out perfectly here. Greater molochs are incredibly slow and I had plenty of arrows of demon slaying. I lit up that dark room and carefully lured them out one by one. That it was a threatening room meant most of them weren't even hostile until they noticed me so I was able to lure one out, head up that vertical hall and alternate between 3 arrows and backing away. None of them ever managed to get next to me. They give out hundreds of thousands of experience. I gained eight levels from fourtreen molochs. Any fears of being underlevelled were gone as I went from the 30s to the 40s. This is the kind of room you usually end up hunting down in the Infinite Dungeon when going for ultra endings to max out your level without taking forever as otherwise your best bet is the Blue Dragon Caves which... are full of blue dragons that give decent exp but breathe lightning resulting in a lot of equipment being destroyed while you grind.
The Mana Temple can be scary, but like the Tower the best strategy is to avoid entering it entirely. The Chaos Archmage that guards the orb knows death ray so you definitely need an amulet of death ray resistance (or if you're very lucky an artifact that gives it or natural resistance which can only be acquired from luck when drinking out of a pool). He also casts darkness so you'll need an amulet of light- wait, you may see the issue here. Okay, well obviously you wear the death ray resistance. ADOM has a "tool" slot where you can put anything and quickly use it with the "u" key and the easy solution is to just light a torch, but this means that you can't have a different orb in the slot. The elemental orbs all give +10 to a different stat so you're removing a pretty solid buff to your strength or toughness for that torch. Again, slaying ammo did him in quickly. Too bad one of the random enemies inside actually got to his corpse before I did and picked up the orb! I spent like 20 minutes killing absurd amounts of chaos creatures (as the temple is packed with chaos wizards that summon them) before finally finding the last orb and getting out of there.
The plan was to stop for the night and beat the game the next day. It's easy to get cocky when you finish the Tower or Mana Temple and feel like you can safely plow through anything that gets in your way which has definitely cost me some victories. I wound up taking a break for food and coming back like two hours later after I realized that I had things to do the next day and wouldn't want to do anything dumb things like "get groceries" when I could stay at home and finish ADOM.
But it worked out! The orbs sealed the anomalies and the path to D50 opened. I was able to use the standard strategy of tunneling through the outskirts to avoid having to fight a lot of the monsters inside. After I cleared out the two pockets with the levers that kept the Chaos Gate opened I pulled them and destroyed them with a wand of destruction. I only had to fight one of the balors and by this point had my choice of arrows of slaying, arrows of demon slaying, or arrows of humanoid slaying with which to quickly dispose of them.
By the end I had a decent amount of corruptions, but I was really fortunate how beneficial most of them were. I did get mana battery which causes you to drain the charges of wands if you use one or pick one up, and also had a few cases of poison hands where potions turn to poison and food becomes cursed if you're not wearing thick gauntlets, but even with the limited number of corruption removing items I had plenty to spare.
The ascent was no issue with just one last detour to the unicorn glade to be cleansed of all corruption for some bonus points in the end.
This high score list has 8 entries on it and one of them is a victory. Not a bad ratio at all.

The Experience
Purposely playing an older version of the game was certainly a different experience. It offered some potential upsides. You can get absurd stat gains with herbs, corruption only doubles after day 90 instead of every 90 days, polypiling for a dozen wishes at once, some monsters have vulnerabilities that have since been patched, there's plenty of possible benefits to this classic version. Few of them actually mattered however! I'd have liked my ring of ice to be a guarantee, but without a doubt the feature I missed most is that the newer version of the game lets you type while in the inventory to filter items. I forgot how annoying it is to dig through a giant list of wands searching for the one you want.
When the time comes to play ADOM once more, I may return to the old computer for it, but I can't see myself using this version again.
Archie marks my 7th win. I always try to play races/classes I've yet to win with and the race selection is getting narrow, now with more races with victories than without. Troll, High Elf, Gnome, Hurthling, Orc, and Mist Elf remain. For classes the pool is a lot larger, with 15 remaining. Thief, Assassin, Priest, Bard, Monk, Weaponsmith, Merchant, Mindcrafter, Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Elementalist, Beastfighter, Duelist, and Chaos Knight. Bard has definitely been a long time target, but we shall see what comes next...
Also I have the save file one step before leaving the chain. That's again for ADOM 1.1.1.
