Oh good! On my comment brief it just says 'the graveyard folder is' and I thought you were going to say 'not working' haha.

Yes this has been in the game since 2012 however there's never been an option to easily access it through the game until now. Nothing's worse than looking at an old file where you died in some stupid way with a backpack full of health potions.

I think figuring out when - and when not - to use recovery items is just as challenging as fighting boss monsters in this.
It's seriously hilarious - I thought Tales of Maj'Eyal had a good "dead character" system but it's really fun reading through the files here, and it helps you realize how you screwed up and what you could have done better. Love it!

We can use this thread to post good dead guy files. When I get home later I'll post my floor 48 one for sure.

Attack 51 wtf??

Dude you died by Timebomb? Ooooooh that sucks you had the weebish axe!!
Del_Duio  [developer] Nov 12, 2016 @ 9:38pm 
Ohhhhh so bummin' right now..

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=798824219

I got to floor 36 with a few HP and it ended up being an Arena of Death. I was all out of healing items but filled an empty bottle up earlier with a black potion (which either refills everything and gives you +3 to all stats or kills you, a 50/50 chance of either). There were fire floors and poison grass, every champ imaginable up to that point.. So with 2 HP left I took a chance and drank the damn thing and CROAKED.

There is a certain satisfaction in seeing the game developer himself having lame deaths in the game.

I shall have to update it soon with a retina scan feature that recognizes me and lets me run to the bottom unchallenged!

Won with the Thief! The hardest of the three!

This was using the Pack 15 build which is going to be the default game once it's ready. It was more managable but still really challenging to do this. At first I was getting nothing really great for items but then they started coming at all the right times: A mask that gives you more HP from eating food, armor that nullifies poison grass, a knife that gives you +1 HP per kill, etc. Plus a couple times I found campfires already set up on the floor which was awesome.

I almost died like 5 times, had to use not one but two shovels to escape certain doom (once was a timebomb floor that almost reached 0, yick). The extra inventory space allowed me to hold a couple of torches which came in handy later on. I got the Reaper floor and had to navigate in the dark space by space so I didn't run into it by accident and get killed. Woo hoo!

The only ♥♥♥♥♥♥ part is when I took my victory screenshot the achievement didn't trigger for some reason. I WILL be fixing this tomorrow morning, ASAP. That is some B.S. right there lol.

OK all victory achievements have been fixed for the upcoming Pack 15 build. This should be okay to distribute to everyone in no more than 1 day's time. Maybe tonight at the earliest.

Ah dude that sucks!!

If you were going to try and fight one (especially on that low of a floor) you have to use all the buffs you can first. Diamond Dust and Ice Crystals add Mortal Wound and Cold Damage effects and are very useful can tough monsters like that.

I'd you DIDN'T mean to fight it you could have used the white potion to turn invisible and walk right through and past him too. Invisible works like phasing a bit in that if they can't see you you can sneak right past them which is super useful when getting past bosses and etc blocking the ladder.
Toeli Nov 26, 2016 @ 8:02am 
Yeah, I just ran into it because I mindlessly walked through the hallway. pretty bad decision.
