You see here a blessed scroll of identify. i - a blessed scroll of identify. r What do you want to read? [ijklm or ?* ] i As you read the scroll, it disappears. This is an identify scroll. —More- What would you like to identify first? nethackNetHack is old. The first version came out in 1987. NetHack is complex. It can take years of play to see it all. NetHack is random. It is one of the three founding roguelikes and will sometimes generate levels that seem flatly impossible. But they never are.NetHack has been described as a puzzle game hiding inside a roguelike's skin. Whereas the archetypal Angband or Dungeon Crawl hero is a Knight in Shining Armor who slays countless evil creatures and becomes powerful like unto God, the archetypal NetHack hero is a cunning trickster (or...hacker) who sets traps, fights in unconventional ways and never, ever plays fair. After the very first few levels, killing monsters for XP becomes unprofitable (or even disadvantageous). Instead, power comes from your ever-expanding collection of items which can be wielded, worn, thrown, rubbed, dipped, engraved, snapped, pointed, cast, eaten, read, or applied, singly or in combination.The advantage of NetHack`s focus on items is that it reduces the impact of luck. By carefully hoarding your resources, (almost) nothing is inescapably fatal. The downside of NetHack's focus on items is that it reduces the impact of luck. Once you've learned some effective tactics, multiple victories can start to feel similar, or even repetitive.Still, for a free game (in the sense of both "free beer" and "free speech") that can take up to a decade to beat for the first time, you could do worse.NetHack is cross-platform; it's safe to bet that if you're using an operating system that's still being developed (and even if it isn't), there's a port for it. In fact, Linux distributions tend to feature ports of it in their software repositories, and anyone with the proper programming skills can make ports or modifications because it is free and open-source software, released under the terms of the NetHack General Public License, a precursor to the GNU General Public License.You can play it online here, and get it for Android OS here.If NetHack's rather archaic graphics intimidate you, you can always try Vulture, an isometric GUI that more or less takes the original and spits out detailed graphics, sounds, and all-around allows for an easier experience, when learning how to play. The site currently has builds for vanilla NetHack, SLASH'EM and UnNetHack, with the SporkHack variant coming soon.note Recently, the developer has started charging for binaries. The source code is still available for free download on the developer's website. Additionally, the NetHack Wiki has a list of other alternate graphical tilesets.Note: The NetHack community's definition of "spoiler" is a bit different than the usual; here, "spoiler" refers not just to plotline spoilers, but gameplay-related ones that can render ascensions and overall playing experience easier. You probably won't spoil much of the Excuse Plot by reading behind the spoiler tags, but you will probably ruin the challenge for yourself. If you wish to experience as much of the challenge as possible, tread carefully around the spoiler tags.

"Get Back Here!" Boss: Demon lords and the more powerful types of liches can teleport around at will, and will use this ability to run off and heal. Generally speaking, they always run off to the upstairs, meaning once they start that nonsense, you should be running that way, too.

Damage Discrimination: Monsters have no friendly fire protection; if you're facing a mob of enemies, anyone between your character and a missile-user (up to and including dragons) stands a chance of getting hit. Also, if you wear a ring of conflict, any nearby creatures will start attacking each other.

Katanas Are Just Better: They get +1 to hit for no particular reason. Downplayed, though, as they are far from the best available sword, only a slightly better variant of a plain longsword; and Lawful characters will still prefer the longsword for its ability to transform into Excalibur.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Invoked by players doing Atheist conduct — never pray or otherwise interact with gods — despite the goal of the game being to retrieve an amulet for your god and become a demigod yourself. This gets particularly confusing when you are playing as an Atheist priest, a class centered around religious themes.

Artistic License – Biology
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: The game's concept of "nutrition" is probably the wackiest thing of all; unless you find a Ring of Slow Digestion, you'll need to eat the equivalent of dozens of dragon corpses to complete the game without starving — even if you're a gnome — but drinking is entirely optional and Nobody Poops. Specific tropes: All Animals Are Dogs: Tamed beasts all act like loyal canines: they follow you around, attack perceived threats to their master, can be put on a literal leash, and so on. Diurnal Nocturnal Animal: Animals only sleep in special circumstances that have nothing to do with time of day (even though the game does check the time of day for other reasons). Imprinting: If an egg hatches while you're carrying it. For double the artistic license points, the odds of it happening depend on the gender of your character. Misplaced Vegetation: Minetown — a cave, inside a dungeon — sometimes has trees. (Although their positioning would indicate they were deliberately planted there as decor.) More Predators Than Prey: There are lots of carnivores, very few herbivores, almost no plants, and no sunlight. Animals generally don't need or want to eat anything unless you've tamed them. Psycho Electric Eel: A major hazard of watery areas.

Anti-Magic
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_18bf4326
comment
Anti-Magic: Magic resistance, a property given by a few rare items, has this effect. Since it neutralizes unintentional polymorphing, "pure magic" attacks (including Wands of Death), and many other nasty things, it's extremely useful. Also the mechanic of "cancellation", which removes special abilities from monsters and turns almost all items into mundane equivalents (potions of water, blank scrolls and books, dead wands, etc, and it removes all enchantments and bless/curse status). And if you're not careful, you might have it done to your entire inventory at once (Although this is a great way to decurse the inventory of a Bones file).

Gone Horribly Right: With work, it's possible to genocide a whole range of creatures, the weaker ones. Overdo the blessed scrolls of genocide and all that's left are the very toughest creatures, which aren't genocide-able. The final stages of the game become even more exciting, and frequently, much shorter, too.

Lord British Postulate
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_1a1ea492
comment
Lord British Postulate: The Riders in the Astral Plane can be killed, but revive themselves in short order; they're supposed to harass you into ascending (or dying) instead of hanging around on the final level indefinitely. You can't get rid of their corpses in any of the usual ways—eating them is fatal, trying to shove them in a tin can makes them revive instantly, etc. But there are a few bizarre ways to kill them permanently, such as filling every square on the level with monsters so they have nowhere to spawn (giving the message "You feel less hassled;" once their corpses rot away they will be gone for good).

Stuck Items: Cursed armor can't be removed, and cursed weapons can't be un-wielded. There are several ways of dealing with these problems, only one ("remove curse") obvious.note For example, if it's made of stone, you can cast stone-to-flesh and eat it. Eating cursed food will make you sick, but at least the bigger problem is dealt with.

Nymphs can even steal cursed weapons/armor/etc. welded to you and can undo chains attached to you, which makes them useful for removing such items. Just remember to put away anything dangerous first....

Karma Meter: Your alignment record, which, just like it sounds, is a record of how well you've been sticking to your invoked Character Alignment. What effects it, naturally enough, depends on what that alignment is. If the record is below zero, you can use a cross-aligned altar to change your alignment permanently, though doing this too early is a one-way ticket to Unwinnable by Design, since you can't ever change back.

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: The player is supposed to make out most gameplay mechanics this way. In a game with an immense game world, permanent death, and most errors leading to said permanent death. No wonder that players doubt the possibility of Ascending without reading spoilers. The game does provide an Oracle, a special monster which gives valuable advice about the game, but it has great limitations on its consultations.

Bear Trap: These can be encountered as a hidden trap, which do some damage, but more annoyingly hold you in place for a few turns until you pull free. You can also disarm them, lug them around and re-set them to be triggered by monsters.

Bottomless Bladder: The PC isn't required to sleep and recovers from wounds without having to rest. In fact, the only source of restful sleep is delivered by an amulet of restful sleep, which can be used to heal, but is mostly just there as a hazard. SLASH'EM has toilets, but their use isn't obvious at first. If you're Satiated and sit on one, you "take a dump" and lose some nutrition, along with being cured of sickness. It is extremely unlikely someone will use it, but it's there.

Butt-Dialing Mordor: The Big Bad Wizard of Yendor lives in an isolated tower in the middle of a dungeon level, which can normally only be reached by going down through the outskirts of that level, to a lower level which contains a magic portal to the tower. If you have a telepathic pet, the pet may helpfully wake the Wizard with a ranged psychic attack when you first cross his level, which can draw him out before you're ready to fight him.

Tomato in the Mirror: When you talk to one of the Riders in the endgame (of which only Famine, Pestilence, and Death appear as enemies), they say "Who do you think you are, War?" The Ambiguous Syntax makes the meaning unclear, but a comment in the source code spells it out - only three of the horsemen appear as enemies because the player is War.

Also, though not really an artifact, weaponized cockatrice corpses can turn most enemies to stone with a single smack; but of course they can also turn you to stone if you're not extremely careful.

Even Evil Has Standards: The Random Number God may occasionally give a gnome a Wand of Death, but at least it draws the line at letting monsters use Scrolls of Genocide. Unless you're an orc or a caveman, cannibalism (or eating a dog or cat) gives you the aggravate monster intrinsic. Even the Chaotic gods, who reward you for sacrificing members of your own race, will get angry with you (along with everything else in the dungeon) for eating the corpse of a dog or cat or offering a pet's corpse.

Super Drowning Skills
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2
comment
Super Drowning Skills: You cannot swim, at all, unless you're polymorphed into an aquatic creature. Stepping into water is very hazardous—you always "sink like a rock" and if you're too encumbered to climb out quickly, you'll die instantly. Some monsters can grab you and drag you into water, which is also immediately fatal. Wearing an amulet of magical breathing makes you completely drownproof (technically it removes your need to breathe entirely, so you also can't choke and are unaffected by hazardous gasses). Even with that superpower, you still can't swim, but can cross water by walking along the bottom. Thankfully, non-aquatic monsters also follow this trope, and aren't smart enough to climb out before they suffocate; dropping powerful ones into water (by melting ice underneath them, for example) can be a good way to eliminate them. This applies in a strange way to inanimate objects—non-enchanted iron items that have any contact with water have a 50/50 chance of rusting/getting more rusty, giving weapons a debuff in the process. Scrolls and spellbooks similarly have a chance of getting wiped blank.

Kick the Dog: You can do this if you like, literally even. You Bastard!. Seeing as your pet is your loving sidekick and in fact one of your more useful assets, this is usually an accident when it happens. On occasion, you do have to go so far as to Shoot the Dog if it turns on you. Offering your pet on an altar gets your patron god angry at you, by the way. And if you eat the corpse of a dog or a cat, everything in the dungeon will be aggravated at you... well, even more so.

Terminal Transformation: When a creature without the ability to control its transformations is hit by the polymorph spell or trap, there's a small chance it will experience "system shock" from the strain of the sudden transformation. This kills monsters instantly, while the player will take a random amount of damage between 1 and 30 (which can still kill you if you were at low HP or just very unlucky).

Magikarp Power
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6
comment
Magikarp Power: The tourist character class. All the "weak" character classes have this to some extent — but it's most noticeable with the tourist, who might be the easiest role to win with if you survive past the Quest. But that's a big "if." The Tourist starts with a stack of throwing darts, a flashy camera, some money, a pile of food, two healing potions, and some scrolls that are useful only in the endgame. They do not start with any melee (or non-expendable) weapon, any spells, any armor, or decent combat stats in case they comes across either of the above, and shops will vastly overcharge them for the first half of the game. The throwing darts they do have are a ranged weapon, and can be upgraded with a poison, but they aren't very useful compared to other class' weapons. If a tourist survives to the quest, though, their reward is effectively an infinite-use blessed scroll of charging (which also grants magic resistance, super-telepathy, and half damage from enemy magic just by having it in your inventory), which means double or triple the duration of most wands, easy creation of +4 or +5 rings, and infinite uses of most tools (including a food generator, an enemy tamer, and some that mimic offensive wands). And to top it off, your useless starting shirt and scrolls become valuable in the endgame, and the stats that start the highest are the hardest ones to increase later on.

The Guards Must Be Crazy
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_4508b16b
comment
The Guards Must Be Crazy: If you tell a vault guard your name is Croesus, he will assume you are the Croesus, his boss, and (if the real Croesus is still alive) will let you get back to stealing all his gold, even if you're the wrong gender and/or the wrong species to pass as Croesus. This is justified by the ability to change form and gender being present and common enough that the master of Fort Ludios would have it at his disposal. You can also deter the guard by being unable to speak (he leaves, saying "I'll be back when you're ready to speak to me!") or by eating a mimic corpse while hallucinating, which disguises you as an orange: "Hey! Who left that orange in here?". The numerous soldiers and monsters in the Castle will make no attempt to stop you as you stand outside messing around with a bugle, obviously trying to guess the Song In The Key Of Lock that opens the drawbridge. Once you know the tune, you can play it to lower the bridge, play it again to raise the bridge and crush any mooks that were trying to cross, and repeat; they never catch on, and will continue marching to their doom until they've all been squashed.

Songs in the Key of Lock
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_4ea822ce
comment
Songs in the Key of Lock: One way of getting into the Castle. A (possibly unintended) side effect allows you to easily kill off most of the monsters in the castle: Playing the pass-tune again closes the drawbridge, and any monster on the drawbridge will be crushed to death when it closes. Wash, rinse, repeat. This also destroys any loot they're carrying, though.

Block Puzzle: Sokoban, a four-level puzzle in which you push boulders to plug holes in the floor. The game mechanics change somewhat, though: You can't push the boulders diagonally or fly over the holes in the floor, and trying to cheat (by creating/destroying boulders or trying to bypass the pits at the end of each level) nets you a Luck penalty.

Gratuitous Japanese
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_5558641
comment
Gratuitous Japanese: Playing a Samurai, the game feedback will call certain items by the Japanese name (helmet -> kabuto) or a rough Japanese equivalent (booze -> sake), even though they're literally the same item behind the scenes. The samurai Quest is particularly full of this. Not all of it is accurate Japanese, mind. "Shito" is probably just a misspelling of "shōtō"note 小刀; used in NetHack for knife, actually means a short sword, but no one seems to know what word the devs were going for with "gunyoki".

Just Add Water: Several types: Dragon scales (dropped by dragons) + Scroll of Enchant Armor = Dragon Scale Mail (one of the best armor choices) Wielded Worm tooth + Scroll of Enchant Weapon = Crysknife (a Shout-Out to Dune). Alchemy: mixing less-useful potions can generate more-useful potions (and vice versa). Once you know a scroll or spellbook, you can write more copies with a magic marker on a blank scroll or spellbook. On the other hand, magic markers are hard to come by and often have to be wished for.

Potion-Brewing Mechanic
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_55f0e46c
comment
Potion-Brewing Mechanic: Potions can be mixed together to create new potions. For example, a potion of healing and a potion of gain energy make a potion of extra healing. The variant UnNethack changes this in an interesting way. As is common in the roguelike genre, Nethack's object descriptions are randomised, so a healing potion might be "a red potion" in one game and "a green potion" in another. In UnNethack, alchemy is based on color instead of effect, so that, for example, a red potion (whatever that is) and a yellow potion (whatever that is) always make an orange potion (whatever that is) - effectively randomising the alchemy recipes. There's another patch that allows you to create potions by dissolving gems in acid.

Police Are Useless: Exaggerated with the Minetown Watch, who will summarily execute anybody who breaks down a door, clogs up a fountain, cuts down a tree or so much as touches a shopkeeper, yet do absolutely nothing about the many often-strong hostile monsters found on the level, which can spell an inescapable death for a low-level player. The Watch will also completely ignore the murder of peaceful animals and humanoids in their town. Played for Laughs with the Keystone Kops, which can appear on any level if you manage to liberate unpaid items from a shop. Their preferred weapons are rubber hose whips and thrown cream pies, and unlike the Minetown Watchmen, they are low-level and easy to defeat.

Disc-One Nuke
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d
comment
Disc-One Nuke: In a few ways, be it an early wish or polymorphing. Some players regard "Elbereth" as a disk one nuke. Writing Elbereth in the dust with their fingers will protect the player from almost all early monsters, and many later ones. Magicbane takes this up to 11 because it always engraves successfully, in only one action, without using any charges. (In addition to protecting against some traps and hostile spells.) Wizards can get it very easily, but already start the game magic protected. Throwing daggers, especially for Rogues. Due to class special abilities, a Rogue on the very first turn can throw up to 2 daggers at a time. Developing the skill can increase that to up to 4 daggers at a time. Enchanting the daggers (or finding enchanted daggers), plus strength damage bonus, means a Rogue is almost guaranteed to be a long range killer by machine-gunning daggers. This is why Rogues start with a stack of daggers. The drawback is the Rogue Quest, which should make any Rogue a part time alchemist. Some of the other classes can do the same, but have to find the daggers on their own, as well as develop the skill from scratch. Other than the Ranger they don't get the bonus toss and none of them can get a backstab bonus four times with one attack from nine squares away. Excalibur is a very powerful weapon that can be acquired as early as level 5, and without much effort (be Lawful, find a longsword, and dip it into a fountain a few times). This is especially easy to pull off if you're a Knight or a Valkyrie, both of which start the game with a longsword. It's entirely possible to stumble upon a Scroll of Genocide or a Wand of Death very early in the game; the former is almost a literal example, letting you erase entire classes of monsters from existence. Although, the most likely way to find the latter in the first few levels is in the hands of a gnome. Rarer super-items like artifacts can theoretically appear near the top of the dungeon, but you have a much better chance of lucking into a genie in a lamp, who can give you an artifact or other overpowered item if he's in the mood for it; Izchak's lighting shop, about 10 levels from the surface, often has a magic lamp.

Save Scumming
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f
comment
Save Scumming: Like just about any roguelike, NetHack erases your save upon death. Instead, some players will "start scum," repeatedly starting and quitting the game until one gets a favorable set of starting equipment or stats. This is usually done with wizards, due to the ridiculous magical items a lucky wizard can start the game with (pre-ID'd to boot). A little over 50% of all NAO games are turn-0 quits, a good portion of those wizards.

Interface Screw: the Rogue level, a Shout-Out to the interface of NetHack's predecessor. The Rogue level is nothing compared to being confused, stunned, or most especially, hallucinating.

When hallucinating, every item and creature appears to be some other random thing (some of which aren't normally found in the game). Blinded can sometimes be worse. Being blinded in a shop will guarantee you YASD. The same with Temples and Towns.

MacGuffin Delivery Service: A viable strategy for obtaining the Amulet of Yendor. Allowing a covetous monster, such as Yeenoghu or Juiblex, to steal the Amulet of Yendor for you, may be easier than fighting through Moloch's Sanctum.

Underground Monkey: The standard game is constructed entirely of ASCII characters, leading to a lot of creature-overlap. You definitely still don't want to confuse a dwarf king with a mind flayer (both are a purple h). Or a mordor orc with a floating eye (one a dark blue 'o', one a dark blue 'e'.) Major variants contain MONSTERCOLOR option that allows player to change the interface, or alternate tilesets can be installed to supply more information.

Excuse Plot: Regardless of your character class (or alignment, or gender), the story is the same — fight and scheme your way to the bottom of this incredibly dangerous dungeon to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor for your god so you can become a demigod or demigoddess. The "quest" sub-plot is no better; they all boil down to "your friends don't like this guy/monster, go kill him/it." This doesn't matter, though, because the absurdly complex gameplay creates a story all its own (usually with a tragic ending).

Fair-Weather Mentor: The player, almost inevitably. You'll love your pet and give them easy kills and fresh corpses to help level them up, and they'll fight on your behalf... but when food starts getting scarce or you find yourself cornered by a level draining foe, it's every man for himself. There's no penalty for starving your pets to death or abandoning them when the going gets tough except the loss of the pet. Just don't Eat the Dog unless you really have to.

Technical Pacifist: invoked The requirement for a Pacifist Run to be recognized by the game is that you don't personally kill anything. Leading an army of high-level pets through the dungeon and letting them slaughter everything you meet is just fine (you can even attack enemies and keep the pacifist conduct so long as you aren't the one who lands the killing blow).

Commonplace Rare: Cans of grease are as handy as they are mundane, and they're also disgustingly uncommon. Grease is mostly valuable because it is rare — its effects are important but mostly supersedable (armor can be made permanently damageproof and there's a cloak and a bag that are effectively permanently greased. You'll still have to avoid melee with mind flayers). By the time you actually track down a can of grease, you're likely past the point in the game where it's valuable. Another inexplicably uncommon item: shirts. T-shirts and Hawaiian shirts have no armor value in and of themselves, but can be enchanted to give a valuable extra few points of protection and worn under standard issue shining armor. If you can find one. One of the few advantages of the Tourist class is that you start out wearing the aforementioned Hawaiian shirt. For all other classes, wishing or polymorphing may be necessary.

Challenge Run
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_7a7d698d
comment
Challenge Run: invoked There's a bevy of conducts, i.e. voluntary challenges, including a Pacifist Run, an "atheist" run (not using the "pray" command to ask favors from the gods, or dropping anything on altars to test for alignment, or chatting with priests, or...), an "illiterate" run (not reading anything, and not writing anything beyond the letter X), a "foodless" run (not eating anything, including non-foods), and for the truly psychotic, combinations of any or all of the above resulting in things like "wishless genocideless polyitemless polyselfless illiterate atheist weaponless vegan" (actually achieved). You get nothing for completing these other than satisfaction, but the game will keep track of what you've accomplished. Nethack is already Nintendo Hard of itself, so these challenges add replay value only for the truly hardcore. The config file also lets you make your character blind. This makes the game extraordinarily difficult for obvious reasons and also because, as a traditional roguelike, Nethack involves a lot of painstaking item-identification, and being permanently blindfolded makes this nearly impossible (you generally can't read scrolls, see what potions look like, etc.).

No Can Opener: The game has edible "tins" and with a tinning kit you can even make your own canned food from monster corpses. Opening them can be tricky. If you're wielding a tin opener, dagger, or axe, or if the tin is "blessed," it pops right open. If not, you spend a lot of turns—during which monsters may sneak up on you, or you might pass out from hunger—desperately trying to squeeze it open, and if you're insufficiently strong/dexterous, the can will probably remain sealed.

Too Awesome to Use: If you come in with the hoarding attitude, it can take a while to get used to the idea that it's OK to use two charges from your wand of fire on dungeon level three as long as you don't die. One clear example, the scroll of Scare Monster. You get one, maybe two uses before it crumbles to dust. Early on engraving Elbereth in the dust works almost as well, and is repeatable. Late game opponents aren't affected by the scroll.

Cap
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_834427cd
comment
Cap: Several things are capped in NetHack. The player's ability scores are capped at 25 (after all bonuses are applied). "Strength" behaves rather strangely, being semi-capped somewhere between 18 and 21—represented by 18/[number], where 0.[number] is the amount of extra strength above 18 you have. Just to be extra-confusing, 18/** strength counts as 21 for most purposes. The only way to boost Strength to 25 is to wear Gauntlets of Power. The highest possible Luck score is 13. The player's experience level is capped at 30. Monster hit dice (for "normal" monsters) are capped at 49. There are quite a few things that aren't directly capped, allowing them to go as high as 2^8-1, 2^16-1, 2^31-1, or possibly even 2^63-1 depending on the size of the variable they're stored in.

Mini-Game: The Sokoban branch. Interestingly, the Mini-Game is done with the same mechanics as the rest of the game, with only minimal changes (boulders can't be pushed diagonally, and you can't fly over holes in the floor). And certain other things (i.e. using spells to get rid of boulders) will give you a luck penalty. One way to enter the Castle is by winning a game of Mastermind. In the endgame, wielding the Amulet of Yendor lets you play hot/cold to find the hidden portals to the next level. "Mother, May I?" with the Quest Leader. Minesweeper in the Ft. Ludios treasure room. (Although this may be more of a Shout-Out.)

Dangerous Forbidden Technique
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_8f0dc93c
comment
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: In the form of risky strategies to win and/or kill monsters. Wielding a "rubber chicken" (cockatrice corpse) allows you to insta-petrify almost any enemy—even high-level demon lords. But as you might imagine, it's extremely easy to petrify yourself with it by mistake. The biggest danger is falling—down the stairs, into a pit trap, etc.—while wielding the corpse. This can mostly be avoided by wearing a ring of levitation whenever the corpse is equipped, but you have to watch out for sinks. The "digging for victory" strategy, where you get a pickaxe and some wands of digging and attempt to burrow straight down to the castle. From there, you can exploit the stupidity of the castle's inhabitants to kill most of them with the drawbridge, and get a wand of wishing as a Disc-One Nuke. Most of the time, though, this tactic will just get you killed by an enemy that's way out of your league. The "protection racket," an opening strategy where you dive to Minetown as quickly as you can while your level is low, while gathering enough gold to buy divine protection from the priest through donations. This is risky in that trying to dive that far without killing any monsters has a huge chance of getting you killed, and there might not even be a priest in Minetown when you arrive, but again, it's a strong opening if you pull it off.note If you're a gnome healer, then this is less of a forbidden technique and more of a standard practice, since many of the dangers of the Gnomish Mines don't apply to you.

Exaggerated with the Minetown Watch, who will summarily execute anybody who breaks down a door, clogs up a fountain, cuts down a tree or so much as touches a shopkeeper, yet do absolutely nothing about the many often-strong hostile monsters found on the level, which can spell an inescapable death for a low-level player. The Watch will also completely ignore the murder of peaceful animals and humanoids in their town.

Ret-Gone: A scroll of genocide not only kills all monsters of a given type, it removes them from reality. If you genocide cockatrice and you were holding a cockatrice in your hand and three of their eggs in your backpack, they'll all vanish. If you had a tin filled with red dragon meat and you genocide red dragons, that tin mysteriously becomes empty. And you'll find yourself unable to polymorph into one now, even if you had already done so before. Also, if you genocide your own race/role while polymorphed, the game will say "you feel empty inside". Try to turn back and you will die. If you quit before dying, the game will read "quit while already on Charon's boat."

Luck-Based Mission
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f
comment
Luck-Based Mission: Luck plays an important role in NetHack; if the Random Number God wants to kill you, it probably will, because, at any given moment, there are many things that can go wrong. Taking precautions that will let you survive its wrath is an important part of the game. Christian Bressler, aka 'Marvin the Paranoid Android' Ascended 23 times in a row over a three month span on the public server NAO, mostly to show that any individual game could be won. Including one of every class for the first 13, then he started doing conducts. Adeon, another NAO player, Ascended 29 times in a row over the course of just barely more than one month. Those records have since been bested on NAO (though in version 3.6.6 rather than 3.4.3) by Tariru, who won 61 times in a row. ais523 did prove that it's theoretically possible to die before you have control of your character, the very definition of an unavoidable death. Grayswandir was generated on the upstairs, he picked it up due to autopickup, and it blasted him. He did some calculations and estimated a 1 in 3 million chance (roughly) of this occurring. One of the various traps that an adventurer can encounter is a pit. Sometimes, this pit has spikes. Sometimes, these spikes are poisoned. And sometimes, poison is instantly lethal. Therefore, characters who don't possess poison resistance could theoretically die at any given moment, should they wander into a trap such as this. The truly paranoid will try to only step where they've seen other monsters step safely, or search when that's not possible.

Press X to Die
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_9918518b
comment
Press X to Die: Among many, many other ways to die, the game allows you to teleport to a negative level; and immediately fall thousands of feet to your death. Unless you can fly. (Your game still ends, though.) If you go to level -10 or above, you go to Heaven instead. Though it won't save you from death by teleporting to level 0: Throwing rocks at the ceiling and taking damage when they hit you on the head. Hurting your leg when you kick something immobile. Falling down staircases because you're carrying too much. Getting stoned because you tried to go down stairs while wielding a cockatrice corpse and carrying too much. Choking by trying to eat a boulder made of meat. Shooting yourself with a wand of death. There's a reason the game coined the term Yet Another Stupid Death. There are no less than forty-five ways to get yourself killed by a cockatrice - and only a few are from enemies. It's even possible to attempt to mount your horse, slip off, and kill yourself... on the very first turn!

One-Hit Kill
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0
comment
One-Hit Kill: Tons of em, on both sides. To name a few: A Wand of Death, the Finger of Death spell, a bad roll on a poison check, doing anything that involves your bare skin and anything even tangentially related to a footrice including the contents of their eggs, hitting a Floating Eye in some cases, encountering a soldier ant/leocrotta/mûmak/minotaur when unprepared for melee, Medusa's gaze. A drowning attack is technically a two-hit kill but feels like a one-hit kill. Two artifact weapons, the Vorpal Blade and the Tsurugi of Muramasa, have a 5% chance to inflict instant death, which is completely irresistable to anything humanoid (and the majority of things that aren't). The Tsurugi is guaranteed to spawn in the hands of one class's quest nemeses (giving this boss the 5% chance to instantly kill you), and the Vorpal Blade can randomly be given to monsters on the very last level of the game.

Bolt of Divine Retribution: Tick off your god enough, and you'll get struck by lightning. If you manage to survive that, the deity will then blast you with a wide-angle disintegration beam ("wide-angle" meaning that, unlike other beam attacks, it cannot be trivially neutralized by having reflection). If you still manage to survive, the deity will exclaim in shock "I believe it not!" And if you're being digested by a monster at the time, then the lightning will hit the monster you're inside of, almost certainly killing it instead of you. If the monster survives the bolt, it gets hit by the disintegration beam too (although the only monster in Vanilla that engulfs and resists lightning also resists disintegration). You even get experience and break any Pacifist conduct for doing so.

Rule of Funny
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_a60e3252

If you tell a vault guard your name is Croesus, he will assume you are the Croesus, his boss, and (if the real Croesus is still alive) will let you get back to stealing all his gold, even if you're the wrong gender and/or the wrong species to pass as Croesus. This is justified by the ability to change form and gender being present and common enough that the master of Fort Ludios would have it at his disposal. You can also deter the guard by being unable to speak (he leaves, saying "I'll be back when you're ready to speak to me!") or by eating a mimic corpse while hallucinating, which disguises you as an orange: "Hey! Who left that orange in here?".

The Many Deaths of You: There are many (many many) ways to die, leading to a lot of Trial-and-Error Gameplay. Some can only realistically be obtained by deliberately setting out to collect them. An incomplete list for Nethack 3.3.1 can be found here. nethack.alt.org keeps track of all deaths that occur on the server. Even ignoring unique deaths caused by monsters with custom names, the number of unique deaths range in the thousands.

comment
Unusable Enemy Equipment: Not in this game. If a critter has it, you can kill him and use it. (An exception being said critter's body; you may or may not get a corpse.) This is particularly frustrating with Auto-Revive, as monsters can use it too. Or the Wand of Death. Or that potion of gain level. The monsters would love a chance to use their equipment. And they'll pick it up off the floor to hand it to you. Monsters have a starting inventory and also randomised death drops ("That was my prized wand of nothing, You Bastard!! I was saving that!" grunts the orc), though sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference if the monster dies without a chance to use the item.

Super Weapon, Average Joe: Humanoid monsters can find and use wands. This can lead to very weak monsters killing the player with ease.

Convection, Schmonvection: You can stand next to lava with no ill effects but if you try even flying over it without fire resistance you're in for a world of pain. Water Walking boots will let you walk over lava, but if they aren't fireproof themselves the lava will destroy them, then you fall in and die as a result.

Loophole Abuse: You can't teleport to another level while carrying the Amulet of Yendor (if you could, escaping the dungeon would be far too easy). But you can use a cursed potion of gain level to float up through the ceiling to the level above you, because, technically, that isn't teleporting.

Candlelit Ritual: You need the Bell of Opening, The Book of the Dead, the Candelabrum of Invocation and seven beeswax or tallow candles to perform the rite that will grant access to the deepest dungeon levels where the Amulet of Yendor is. It's a sign of something that in older versions of NH scrounging up the needed number of candles sometimes proved to be almost as difficult as acquiring the rest of the items, to the point they were a fairly common use of a Wish. (3.6.0 has added a guaranteed source.)

Weaponized Offspring: It's possible for a female character polymorphed into a monster to lay eggs. Cockatrice eggs can be thrown in order to stone an enemy. Throwing eggs you laid results in a luck penalty though. Alternatively a character that finds an egg can carry it with them, and it may become a tame monster upon hatching.

Holiday Mode: Date, time, and phase of the moon may all affect the game. On Friday the 13th, the start-up message says "Watch out! Bad things can happen on Friday the 13th", and your base luck is reduced. On a full moon, the start-up message says, "You are lucky! Full moon tonight", and your base luck is increased, but dogs may be less friendly, and werecreatures are usually in animal form, especially at night. During the new moon, cockatrices are more dangerous. Between 10 pm and 6 am, some creatures are slightly more dangerous. Gremlins, for instance, gain a 1/10 chance of stealing one of your intrinsics like telepathy or an elemental resistance each time one hits you. From midnight till 1 am, undead do twice as much damage, and you get a different message when entering graveyards.

Metagame: Many sort-of-intentional deaths are caused on the first few levels by people repeatedly seeking some early advantage, such as quaffing from fountains (it's supplication to the Random Number God for a wish, in case you're curious), or kicking sinks for a ring and then dying if a foocubus/black pudding comes up and they can't handle it (or don't want to waste time handling it). This is a form of startscumming, and not everyone thinks it's a-OK.

Needle in a Stack of Needles: One of the things the Wizard can do to make your life more difficult is steal the Amulet of Yendor. And then leave fake ones. Do not try to enter the endgame without the real one... Quaffing a cursed Potion of Gain Level on dungeon level 1 is a failsafe way to exit the Dungeons of Doom. If the player's not carrying the Amulet of Yendor, he/she just "feels uneasy." If he does have the amulet, it's up and out. The Dev Team Really Does think of everything.

Elemental Plane
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_c8552b9a
comment
Elemental Plane: The late game consists of making your way through the four Elemental Planes (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water) in order to reach the Astral Plane (which is where gods and angels reside). Each plane has a quirk to it that fits the theme of its element: Earth is solid rock with caves scattered inside, with most of the enemies being creatures that can tunnel through stone. The player will need to dig through the walls in order to transverse this level. Air is open air with massive clouds generating at random; while inside a cloud, there's a high chance of being hit by lightning and stunned, making you easy prey for monsters. Unless you can fly or levitate, you'll be tossed around at random by the wind. Fire is a giant expanse of darkness and rivers of lava, which randomly spew toxic gas. There are tons of fire traps on the seemingly safe ground, and all monsters that generate are either resistant or immune to fire damage. Water is completely underwater, with giant air bubbles that drift through it being the only safe zones for most players. The enemies for this level are water elementals and sea monsters, and the portal to the Astral Plane is in one of the other bubbles that drifts around the level; since it moves, this makes it one of the hardest portals to find.

Magic Pants: The game tracks the characters' size: if you change into a much larger form, then the armor you're wearing will be torn apart and destroyed. And if you turn into something exceptionally weak and puny, you'll be half-squashed by the same armor and unable to move. Implied with the player's actual pants — while there are no equippable pants in NetHack, if you sit on a cockatrice corpse, you don't turn to stone, so you must be wearing pants. Since they don't tear apart or anything, they must be magic.

Unicorns Are Sacred: Killing a unicorn of your alignment incurs a sizable penalty to your Luck Stat. Sacrificing a unicorn of your alignment is generally a good way to suffer Yet Another Stupid Death, by way of invoking your god's wrath—and if it's on a cross-aligned altar, it'll change your invoked Character Alignment, which is one of the easiest ways to render the game Unwinnable. Sacrificing a unicorn of any alignment on an altar of the same alignment will also invoke that god's wrath. On the other hand, sacrificing a cross-aligned unicorn on a co-aligned altar pleases your god.

Flat-Earth Atheist: The "atheist" conduct involves not using any of the religious elements of the game (except for sacrificing the Amulet of Yendor, and even then, there's a patch to eliminate this, too), satisfying the technical specs of this trope.

Hoist by His Own Petard: The easiest way to kill Medusa is with a mirror of some kind. This includes any item that provides reflection. This works similarly on Floating Eyes; using a mirror on one makes it freeze from its own gaze. Also applies to Croesus, who lives in Fort Ludios. Fort Ludios has two important choke points (the door out of the room you start in, and the door to the fort itself), presumably because they would help against a larger invading army. Unfortunately for him, he didn't count on lone adventurers using that choke point to kill off all his soldiers one by one. And anyone (character or monster) using a beam-weapon wand runs the risk of getting hit with a ricochet-blast off the nearest wall.

Pet Interface
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_d66cd13f
comment
Pet Interface: A surprising amount for tame monsters. The safe_pet and highlight pet options. Carrying pet treats in open inventory (tripe for dogs/cats, pears/apples for horses) means your pet will stay much closer to you. Tossing your pet a treat reinforces its recent behavior. You can train your pet to steal from shops! A leash physically keeps your pet close to you, even when going up/down stairs or dropping through holes. (You can use multiple leashes, too.) A tin whistle will kind of call your pet to you. A magic whistle will teleport your pet(s) to your side if they're anywhere on the level. #chatting to your pet can tell you about their condition. Pets are reluctant to step on a square with a cursed item on it (unless there's food there they want.) This can identify cursed items. It can also be used to control a tame animal's movement. You can 'a'pply a bullwhip at a humanoid pet to take their weapon away. (For replacement with a better weapon.) You can also prepare and leave weapons, armor, and tools for your humanoid pets to pick up and use. Wand of probing tells what a monster (tame or otherwise) is carrying. A stethoscope tells an animal's basic Hit Points and its speed. Spells of healing and extra healing can be used to heal pets. Breaking a potion of regular, extra, or full healing can heal pets. Saddles permit horses, dragons, and some other monsters to be ridden.

Color-Coded Stones
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_d66ed827
comment
Color-Coded Stones: The game plays this one dead straight, with a few exceptions — there's two possibilities each for turquoise and aquamarine (green or blue), and fluorite is randomly assigned either green, blue, white or violet. All gems are just "<color> gem" until identified, so an unidentified "red gem" can't turn out to be sapphire, which is a blue gemnote in real life, sapphires come in many colors, but specifically not red ... because a red sapphire is called a ruby.

Have a Nice Death
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_d933263
comment
Have a Nice Death: Your tombstone tells you how you died; usually that just means which monster, but sometimes, it's much more unique. Figuring out just how to reproduce a specific death can be a non-trivial exercise in itself. ("turned to slime by a scroll of genocide", anyone?) It's even possible to have 'elementary chemistry' as a cause of death, if you're careless with acid. Tossing a dead cockatrice in the air and catching it on your head nets the epitaph "petrified by elementary physics". Tossing a heavy object in the same way will get you "killed by elementary physics" instead.

Do Not Drop Your Weapon: You can un-equip enemies with a bullwhip, ala Indiana Jones. One of the few useful applications for a bullwhip, since it is a pretty lousy weapon. Enemies can do the same, so if Magicbane is your only source of magic resistance, stay alert... The player can drop their weapon if they eat greasy food without gloves on and don't use a towel to wipe off the grease, leading to Yet Another Stupid Death.

Lethal Joke Item: Quite a few examples. T-Shirts seem silly and useless, but they fill a unique equip slot and can be enchanted to provide several free armor points. Expensive Cameras blind and scare monsters—including some very high-level ones that are hard to fight by other means. Appropriately, the Tourist starts the game with both of the above (and not much else). Even Wands of Nothing (which do nothing) are useful because they can be reliably polymorphed into much better wands.

Foe-Tossing Charge: The game has many instances when the player is surrounded by monsters and only needs to pass through. In such situations, this trope can be imagined very easily.

Blindfolded Vision: Possible with Telepathy, and invoked by Intrinsic Telepathy. In fact, blinding yourself while you have telepathy protects you from many forms of visual attacks. The downside is that it makes you more vulnerable to mind flayers, you can't see mindless creatures like undead, and traversing unexplored parts of the dungeon is more annoying.

Basilisk and Cockatrice
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_e2d7ce08
comment
Basilisk and Cockatrice: Cockatrices appear here. If you hear the cockatrice's hiss or are touched by a living cockatrice, there's a chance that you'll slowly start turning to stone; this can be cancelled by eating a lizard corpse or eating/drinking something acid. Touching a cockatrice (living or dead) with your bare skin will instantly turn you to stone. Gloved characters can take advantage of this by picking up a cockatrice corpse and using it to bash monsters. But keep in mind that gloved monsters can also pick up a cockatrice corpse and use it against you. The variant Slash'EM also has the basilisk, which is basically the same as the cockatrice, except that it doesn't hiss and its corpse is too big to use as an Improvised Weapon.

Mundane Utility: Magic lamps contain djinn, a.k.a. genies.

Mushroom Samba
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_f7d4f121
comment
Mushroom Samba: The hallucination effect. It's a temporary status effect obtained by drinking a certain type of potion, eating the corpses of some monsters (including several fungus monsters), or being hit by an exploding black light. It causes nearby monsters and items to appear as random other items or monsters that don't actually exist. It also gives alternate messages for most visual and audio messages.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Have a chat with the nurses. They're not mean! They'll go right on trying to get you to take off that armor and put away that weapon. They'll heal you! And they'll keep trying to heal you even as you chop them up and tin them with your tinning kit.

We Buy Anything
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_fa9e71b5
comment
We Buy Anything: Most shops specialize and will only buy what they sell, and all shops have a limited amount of money with which to buy stuff from the PC, although shopkeepers will offer store credit instead when they can't pay you in cash anymore. On the other hand, any shop will sell the player anything that comes into the shopkeeper's possession by other means. This can be useful for price identification.

Video Game Cruelty Punishment
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_fcd993bd
comment
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: Your patron god has very firm ideas on what is and is not right action. This doesn't mean you're supposed to be well-behaved. It means you're not supposed to be caught. Or, in some people's minds, it means surviving the very wrath of God. Which is doable. You can survive the lightning bolt with an amulet of reflection, and the wide-angle disintegration beam by eating a black dragon's corpse. And best of all? If you do, your god says "I believe it not!"

Ant Assault
 NetHack (Video Game) / int_fd03227b
comment
Ant Assault: Ants appear as common monsters, represented by lowercase a glyph together with bees and giant beetles. There are three types of ants in the game: giant ants, the weakest variant of ant enemies; soldier ants, which deal high damage and can poison your character; and the fire ants, which can set the character on fire. They all are very quick and tend to appear in large groups, making them very hard to deal with.

comment
Evil-Detecting Dog: Any non-undead pet has the innate ability to detect cursed items and will try its best never to step on them, or to do so only "reluctantly". Also, when you put a leash on them they will whine or act nervous whenever there's a trap nearby, although normally they wouldn't notice.
