Hydras are rare mid-level foes. Forget the quest for now. Or endlessly search the Tomb of the High Kings (that's the upper left corner of the map, you'll need a climbing set [180s] to get there). Another way to get literacy is to eat a (preferebly blessed) dark sage corpse. Those aren't as rare as Hydras. Or drink a potion of education and hope for the best - they have a DL of 10, so scum the hell out of D:10. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 7/7/2010 at 05:35 (GMT -5) by Maelstrom] |

I think you can run into Hydras in swamps on the surface too (or are those Swamp-hydras? I forget). Probably not worth the game time spent trekking around up there though. Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |

Those are swamp hydras. Yeah, there is little reason to hunt for a normal hydra, you'll probably find one in a mixed vault later. To ID all of your items at once, you have to get literacy unfortunately - once you have done so (see the dark sage tip above) just use a blessed scroll of identify. Alternatively, if you're a mage, get an AoLS, and save Khelavaster. He'll give you a spellbook of Identify, I think, which can be used to ID each of your items. 1l= Y0(_) [4l\l R34[) 7l-l15, Y0(_) l\/l(_)57 83 PR377Y G00[). |

Identify spell is equal to uncursed SoI so it gives no information about B/U/C status and is toooo expensive in terms of PP. until it sleep |

But it still gets your items identified; it's just a matter of time. 1l= Y0(_) [4l\l R34[) 7l-l15, Y0(_) l\/l(_)57 83 PR377Y G00[). |

Identify spell is equal to cursed scroll of identify actually, since it only identifies one item (and uncursed scroll will identify all items of that type). It also costs a lot of PP... Only really useful for wizards and priests, though for them it does handily train the Mana stat quite a bit. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |
