Okay, just entered Arnika with my Ironman party (Fig/Ran/Bar/Gad/Pri18->Val/Bis) (which btw is completely different to my first succesful L/S/V/Alc/Psi/Mag party, ending around Lvl 21), and would like to set up some kind of list of critical encounters yet to come...:-pickpocketing (my very 1st attempt ended up killing that HLL guy
(spoiler: you CAN quit Wiz8 during combat and then continue IM with the very beginning of that battle upon restarting Wiz8!)
-Gregor (the only death so far...)
-Rattkin Breeders
-Hogars (which give ridiculous low exp compared to e.g. all insects)
-that giant swamp frog
-PeeWee
-Tree Sprites (trynton)
-Mountain Sprites (A.peak; VERY messy if you run out of mana or can't get up Soul/Elemental Shield quick enough!)
-Unicorns & Demons (Turncoat, critical at ANY party level!)
-entering Rapax Castle (probably my most difficult and lengthy fight during first game; ended up with 40 kills and about 7x270k experience; the A.peak Rapax battle was like holidays compared to that (btw, I didn't lose a single char in that Castle fight; but shortly afterwards one lonely Concubine wreaked a critical throw upon my Alchemist, which I think was the *only* instadeath we suffered during the whole game, apart from magic of course!
-Nessie
-Sorceress queen? I never did her in during my first game; what level do you recommend at Ironman?
-What about the three dungeons? Never did them either...
-I Just read about crushing problems at ropes/elevators/trapdoors. Any hints?!
-Falling down to Trynton Are there other IM-instakillers apart from battles?
-Chests: I think Philosophers Bane (ALL gold gone) and Heatwave (ALL potions & scrolls gone) can be the most annoying on IM!
BTW, *nobody* can tell me he or she completed an Ironman solo game!!! (I quitted my non Ironman Samurai Solo after getting paralyzed and eradicated by those 6 spiders guarding the lever to UpperMonastery the x-dozends time
