Previous Part : Here

Last time I had just opened the catacombs and received the teleporter stone from Lanilor. However, it’s not very useful unless you have the second stone. To get it, you either need to teleport to it using the first stone, or fight your way through the catacombs to get to where it is. It’s also guarded by various undead angry types, so you need to get it and get out if you are going via the teleport route.

So, I dropped and used the teleporter stone. I was taken to the other teleporter stone, and kicked and beaten by skeletons until I managed to pick it up and use it to get back outside. Now that I have my teleporter stones, I can go back to the base and set up my plan. In my house, there is a bed and all the storage I need (in my chests). That way, if I get injured, or need to store some stuff for later selling, I can do so. I’ll use this house for storage for most of the game. Here be it.

So, I took out my Worn Knife and entered the catacombs to start my quest for better stuff! And I found this. Great.

I started the quest to find Slasher, by talking to Smiruk. Basically, throughout the catacombs there are lots of axes. Well about 5. One of these is Slasher. These axes are pretty good though, so you can sell them for some good money, which I’ll be doing at some point.

Anyway, much fighting, running and teleporting later, I reached the third level of the catacombs. By this point I realised that either hard mode is much harder than normal, or my character is a bit useless. I’ve had to retreat from most enemies, and ended up learning meteorstrike and freeze, since I’ve yet to find a bow that isn’t broken. I might even actually buy one from George or something.

After getting past the Skeletal Guardian and the Skeletal Conjourer by running away and spamming meteorstrike, I started to find some decent armour. Still not found Slasher yet, since that is down on one of the lower levels. I do have a few axes stashed at the base that I can sell though.

In the room with the 4 tombs you have to open, I barely managed to kill the Skeletal Conjourer. I actually ended up killing it by throwing stuff at it. You can throw any object around in DivDiv, and if it hits an enemy, will do damage. I used all the boxes from my house to kill a Skeletal Lord, while hiding behind stuff.

I also actually found a decent weapon, a composite longbow, which I have used here to kill some skeleton types.

So after killing Thelyron and curing Mardaneus, I went to George’s to find he was murdered. Bah, I was going to sell him stuff as well. I went and spoke to Goemoe and learned restoration for healing his patient. Probably should have done that before I went into the catacombs.

I then moved on to the house in the northeast where my epic quest will continue next time.
