Taken from: http://www.andywlms.com/adom/challenge.html

"Titanium Man

The objective here is to finish the game with the lowest experience level character possible. The Chaos Gate must be closed. Trolls have an obvious advantage, and should be considered separately for this challenge game. Alex Pinachos comlpeted the first example of this game on February 3rd, 2004, with an "ordinary" chaos god ending. The only monster the PC killed was Andor Drakon, who is worth only one experience point. The PC ended the game at experience level one, with 87 total experience points."

How is he supposed to kill Andy at level one? Can anybody explain this too me please?

He trained his missle skills *very* high, and raised his stats a lot, etc.

http://adom.brinkster.net/hof/flg_disp.asp?display=trinity.txt is the link, he had grand mastery in bows.

How did she bring Kranach to justice, stop a generation of nasty bugs, defeat the arch enemy of a mighty karmic wyrm, and become chamipon of the arena without killing anything? Did she use a pet for all this? If so, that is insane.

How do you get Grand Mastery in a Weapon Class without hitting anything? Does just shotting arrows at the wall give marks???

Yes, she used a pet (a killer bug I believe) for almost the entire game. To get grand mastery in bows she shot a greater moloch many, many times with normal arrows.

These are the kinds of things that make ADOM players who have never made it past level 25 cry.

There's so much luck involved here.... Luck, not skill.

I think it also requires quite a lot of skill, because no matter how lucky you are, I'm pretty sure you won't make it if you haven't played the for quite some time

TheTimpen, she couldn't take it past D:49. I have no idea how she did D:50, lots of SoFS presumably. And as for Andy . . .

Andy is only 1 XP point, IIRC. Dunno where she got the other 86.

It's not the killing andy that would seem hard, just the surviving his attacks at level 1.

You can get exp for saccing monsters, that's probably where she got the 87 exp.

Yeah I'm trying to get a killer bug to hold my bards hand throughout the game, but am still worried about D:50. The pet is an absolute machine at killing, though their are some disadvantages, such as it not being able to keep up with blessed SLB. I never thought I would come to loath Teleportitis/Teleport Control either =(

She got her hp to 200 by healing her companion in front of Jharod and drinking the potions he gave her, and got pp to 200 with mana battery, she did D:50 with a greater fire elemental companion from a SoFS, who she kept alive by healing it constantly, etc. There was a post about this a while with a link to where she explains how she did it. Somebody should find that link.

Satyr, that's a great strategy... scumming the BDC gets too hard too fast, now, but using a pet? I must try this. :)
