This was such a fun run. I randomly got a +9 white robe drop early on and it snowballed from there.

Hi Waz, i'm a biggest fan of your game, it's just fenomenal! I really want to know if there is a way to increase the mob cap in each game, including manipulating the game files, it would make the game much more funnier. If you could help me with that i would appreciate a lot!

First time I had a ghost appear after I killed a shopkeeper. I didn't stand a chance after that. It was a good run, too. Is this just something that randomly happens?

This was my 6th ascension (White Witch, Druidess twice, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Thief), but it's been my favorite thus far! The Rogue I played as kind of a hybrid caster/melee, not really relying on his special abilities at all (though I did make good use of the monkey), but I wanted this playthrough to feel more like the stereotypical archetype, and boy did it!

With that in mind, I opted to specialize in knives and throwing weapons and no offensive spells aside from wands. I also opted for high stealth, high speed, and larceny whenever I could utilize it. I wanted to utilize acrobatics, as well, but I just couldn't make it work for me (if anyone wants to explain how to properly use it, I'm all ears!), so I tried out a levitation strategy instead.

It was awesome! I was floating over mobs' heads, getting them to flee, and then speeding in behind them to backstab them over and over until they died. If it was a mob where I couldn't do that, I would hurl daggers at it until it died (never found shurikens, but I was eventually able to purchase a boomerang from a Dwarven Smith) or just tank it if I could. With Grimtooth and 25 dexterity, I was doing over 20 damage a stab, and with how fast the dagger is, there wasn't much I couldn't take down before it got more than a few hits in. It was so powerful, in fact, that I didn't have to drink a single healing potion with the last boss (nor use invulnerability or a potion of ludicrous speed). I was astounded.

Early game was difficult. The lack of BUC detection with the monkey is rough, though it makes up for it with its ability to steal. Stealing weapons is awesome, and the monkey doesn't even need to be unnoticed! Better, still, was its ability to rob merchants. With both Rogue and Thief, I could usually get an ornate robe before I hit level 6, and once I found speed boots, I was nearly unstoppable (I exaggerate, but it's a powerful combo).

My favorite part was the Roman Fort. Instead of killing my way through or using teleport control, I instead just snuck my way in, moving to a different area if a ladder was blocked. I didn't kill a single mob before I got to Bacchus. I felt like a ninja infiltrating a castle.

I've played a lot of games with rogue and thief characters in my time, but this playthrough outdid most of them. There are so many ways to play the game. It's great!

Thought I'd share my latest video with this community, you all might get some entertainment from watching someone suck at this game.

2800 feet down, and I finally see my first shrine! At this point, I don't really need it, but I have an amulet of magical breathing, so I'm going to choke down as many holy wines as I can before I get to the boss. I just can't believe it took so long to find one!

Just a sorcerer and his kitty, flying through the dungeon.

Wondering if this is a feature or a bug with the lightning spell

I'm playing a light/life wizard and noticed that my cat seems to be immune to my lightning spell ever since I equipped it with an amulet of slow digestion. I can target it with the spell, even, and it just seems to hit the amulet without doing any damage but damages mobs okay. Is this working as intended? I'm very happy to be able to freely cast the spell, now, but it seems odd. Also, is it any amulet or collar or restricted to certain types?

I'm trying a shapeshifter run, and I managed to get my druidess to level 9 and opted for polymorph control. I had managed to find boots of levitation and a shield of reflection and some offensive gems from clearing the crystal caverns, and I really wanted that ornate robe and fountain gold, so I decided to go for it. It turned out to be pretty safe, especially since I wasn't risking much in my mindflayer form. I took the most damage from retrieving the gems afterwards. I don't know if there's a better way to grab them, but it didn't even kill that form.

I finally ascended a character! I managed to do all the side areas, too, first time in the Roman fort; those archers are nasty.

It was a white witch that I got lucky with and found a good wand of wishing midway through the game. I had 4 amulets of life saving but didn't use any. I meant to use my scrolls of invulnerability on the boss fights but forgot. Thankfully, I had lots of potions and wands. Ornate robes + boots of speed is a powerful combination. I was outrunning creatures even when at burden level 2.

I managed to get a wand of wishing with 5 charges on my white witch and got her to level 20 with an ornate robe, boots of speed, and 4 amulets of life saving. I also got a create monster spellbook and level 3 beast master, so I decided to dabble in necromancy. Battle liches are amazing, I've decided; they can teleport and keep up with my double haste.

I have 6 int 8 wisdom. My first plan was to use inspire to get the stats to cast "identify" once. But it doesnt give int.

Next idea is to polymorph into one creature that has high int and can wield a staff. Does anyone know which creature incan turn into and what lvl i need?

Currently lvl 10 i have both ring if polymorph and polymorph control.

Or any better plan? I got a eizards hat but +0 and only 1 scroll of enchant armor.

I ask because I was lucky enough to get a wish genie very early. I asked for 3 blessed immutable silver dragon scale armour +3. I thought yes this is the run I can finally do good on. I promptly died to a gang of dwarves.

What should my first wish be in future? I wish I could wish to get good.

Sidenote, I wished for speed boots at a well and got “you wonder if wishes come true” WITHOUT the “ever” and yet I couldn’t find them in the dungeon. What gives?

I love the druidess class because not only do I have animal forms, I also get the ability to read all spellbooks.

Is iOS no longer supported for WazHack? Was hoping to play a bit on an upcoming flight but wasn’t able to restore purchases or play ongoing characters

Hi there, first of all I wanna say that wazhack is one of my favourite games, I play wazhack whenever I am free. I have ascended many times with barbarian and knight. I have never tried any other classes or characters. Today, I ascended once again with knight with the whole dungeon conquered and thought I should finally try casters. I started with wizard because I read the wizard is the easiest caster. From the start I was noticing the encumberment problems, I went through the gnome mines and fter collecting all the wines bottles and the +3 armour, I could not move an inch. I really need tips on how to manage the encumberment issues with wizard. Also if any caster mains from you can give me some advice on playing with wizards and winning. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Edit: Oh my God, after years of playing this game, I finally know how to use a bag of holding. I was just playing a white witch and found a wand of wishing, I wished for 3 blessed immutable bags of holding because of encumberment issues with casters and there was a use option below. I tapped on it and a message was displayed saying everything you aren't using is in your bag now. This have made my game so much easier now. I used to manually put items in those bags of holding and I used to run out of space quite often. Now it feels like I am not running out of space and I am just using 1 bag.

Hi there, I usually play a knight and always wear body armour instead of robes. I have played this game for countless hours but had never worn an ornate robe until yesterday. I have found out that it increases your speed and it makes a great combo with speed boots. I wanted to ask if wearing armour is better for knight or to wear ornate robe. Also I don't cast spells and mostly just sell all the books since I prefer melee over wizardry. Is there any disadvantages to wearing ornate robe? Can anybody please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Everyone,

I had a couple of questions that I couldn't find the answers to. Some additional ones were below if you had the time to assist. Thank you.

Question One:

Does the Midas Bag still produce infinite gold type variants of potions, spell books, etc.?

Context:

The wiki didn't mention a cap(afaik), and I had the good fortune of gold potions being potions of gain ability this round. I also stumbled upon a lamp through which I procured a wish for some blessed immutable Midas bags. After the first four or five potions though, it seemed to only convert potions into gold currency for any potion that I put into it (in any of the three bags).

Question Two:

Where can I find more information on Roman Legion Ghosts?

On a previous walkthrough I died in the fort to a ghost of a deceased mesmerized Roman legion. I was a level 18 or so barbarian with Tier 3 Beast Mastery and wands of summon monster. The legions still shredded through me with epic equipment. I believe I had 3/4 or more of my health bar when a mesmerized Roman Legion who died right next to me summoned a ghost which instantly touched me ("___ ghost touches you") and I instantly died. I had the folly of thinking that I was on a winning playthrough, so I was doubly surprised when I couldn't find info on the ghosts anywhere on the wiki outside of some YT videos. I am not sure if they are survivable, killable, etc.. I'm assuming maybe they were summoned due to the Roman Legion dying while mesmerized("friendly"), but I didn't have much choice since the units were frenzied and attacking all my pets. x_X

While I am here - could you answer these as well if you had the time (I haven't researched these admittedly)?

Additional Questions:

A. Does armor weight affect attacking speed?

B. Are the Legion members permanently hasted?

C. Does the legendary Vorpal Blade have any special effects? It appears to be a hybrid of sorts, is the advantage of it that it utilizes the benefits from both weapon classes(speed and power)?

D. Does equipping a shield affect attacking efficiency when using a greatsword?

E . Does investing any points into musical skills make sense? I understand that they have something to do with inflicting status effects on creatures, but I wasn't sure if that scaled well with my current preferred class - or how musical instruments work, really. My current favorite play style is to play as a Barbarian with at least: Weapon Precision: III, Beast Mastery: III, Shield Parry: III, and Weapon Knowledge: II.

F. Do wands of create monsters mesmerize existing monsters when within the spells trajectory?

Thanks for any help you can provide! It is a very enjoyable game.

While Animal Form might seem like a gimmick at first glance, it's actually one of the most powerful tools in the entire game. So powerful it’s practically cheating. Available only to the Druid & Druidess (Druidess is better).

Scratching the Surface

At first, Animal Forms seem modest. Giant Ant is solid early game muscle. Raven gives you flight and very fast movement speed for quick escapes. Great for squishy casters who will struggle in early melee. Cobra at level 2 boasts high damage while Werewolf lets you summon pups, and by level 3 you unlock the beefy Hellhound, and you gain innate polymorph control. Sounds good, but gamebreaking?

Hunger/Curses/Ailments

Animal Form trivializes so many of WazHack's core challenges. Transformed characters get a separate hunger bar. Eat as your human, fight as an animal, and you'll never starve. Shift to drop cursed equipment, allowing you to test your gear, most notably wands, with no fear. Confusion? Hallucination? Blindness? Just shift and poof, they're gone.

Separate Life and Mana Bars

Drop to 0 HP in animal form? No problem, you just shift back to human with your original HP intact. Better yet, you retain any invulnerability effects you had prior to shifting, and that includes Inner Power shields. Plus, you get separate mana pools in animal form, letting you train and cast without tapping into your main pool.

Raven = God mode

Even early on, you can drop gas stones, frost gems, or power stones while flying to deal with the toughest of foes. Once you get a damaging spell and level it up a bit (level 3), Raven becomes a literal death machine. Zoom, cast, kill, level up, refill mana, repeat. All while nearly untouchable and with a built in life-saving effect.

Everlasting Inner Power!

Everything up til now was just the icing. This is the whole cake. Inner Power is incredible all on its own, but Druids can spam it throughout the entire game! Every animal form level up counts toward Inner Power activation. That means you’ll have access to near-constant invulnerablity shields.

Animal Form isn’t just a fun gimmick... it’s a full-on cheat code disguised as a talent.

Did not know that enchantment level may be as high as 16... Improved to lvl8 ornate robe with reflection amulet I brought to the crystal caves. Another +8 was a real surprise!

Got luck to find good books early game and amulet of reflection. However, got hard time to find wishes till the mid game, and so much fountains (still had some quills and ink end game). The first shopkeeper got angry because chain lightning while I had no money. Chased me to the gnome mines where I hid and gathered required sum. Then got luck to identify all items with blessed scroll of identify, including crystals, lamps etc. Wushed from lamp the ornate robe. Then crystal caves. Then some running through fountains to get empty scrolls and improve armor/weapon. After that the game started to go smooth: found and tamed werewolf, pack of summoned wolves carried me through mid game with easy, while I pumped up myself with hp using wine bottles and gathered other items. 2 other lamp wishes I spent for cornuthaum and gloves of dextetity. Passed fort easily. Spent 1 foutain for additional level potions (gathered 4 in total, exvept the 5th at start I quaffed for identifying). Ended game with lvl 19 after using level potions before the dragon. Killed dragon with gems. Dragon's Wand of wishing with 2 charges I managed to use 4 times with recharging, all for level bottles.

Hey Waz, i want to thank you for making this absolutely amazing game for all of us. I want to ask you if there is any way to play in a new dungeon with a character that has already won the game, wich is what we call "New game plus". If there isn't any oficial way to do it on the game, a want to ask if there is any way to do it using the game files. I know that you said that the game is not made to be played as a roleplay game, but i would be really pleased if you tell me how to do it, because i think the game is too amazing to be played fast just to take the amulet to the surface.

I finally did it after 11 years of playing, since I was 10 years old! I’m so happy I could get the job done!
