  • New player monster/object guide

    Since there's no explanation in game of how the monsters behave I've put this together with the hopes it'll make the initial experience a bit less frustrating for new players. Feel free to chime in if I get anything wrong or miss something and I'll edit it in:

    WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO PREFER TO DISCOVER THINGS ON YOUR OWN. SCROLL NO FURTHER

    • X-Walls - always spawns in orthogonally (vertically or horizontally) adjacent pairs. Can be destroyed if hit 3 times at a cost of 1 health per hit. Drops a coin worth 1 xp when destroyed.
    • 0-Starting Orb - reveals all tiles in two orthogonal (vertical/horizontal) tile radius when used. You should usually start by clicking this.
    • 0-Healing Scroll - fully restores life. Also drops from Romeo and Juliet (9 power monsters)
    • 0-Clairvoyance Scroll - randomly reveals any random tile on the board and all 8 tiles around it.
    • 0-Gnome - ?? seems to teleport around randomly until you corner him eventually. Worth 9 xp
    • 0-Dragon Egg - spawns in one of the 8 spaces around the dragon (power 13 monster). Leave it in tact for an achievement. Worth 3 xp
    • 1-Rat - all of them can be revealed by defeating the rat king (power 5 monster) and using the scroll that drops from him. Will face left or right towards the rat king or stand up if the rat king is in the same column. Avoid killing for achievement.
    • 1-Slime King - always spawns on the board edge surrounded by five Purple Slimes. Drops a scroll that reveals all Purple and Green Slimes.
    • 2-Bat - nothing special
    • 3-Skeleton - nothing special
    • 4-Gargoyle - always spawns facing each other in orthogonally (vertically or horizontally) adjacent pairs.
    • 5-Green Slime - all of them can be revealed by defeating the slime king (power 1 monster) and using the scroll that drops from him
    • 5-Beholder - hides clues in a two orthogonal (vertical/horizontal) tile radius while alive.
    • 5-Rat King - drops a scroll that reveals all rats on the board
    • 6-Minotaur - spawns facing away from a treasure chest that appears in one of three adjacent spaces in the column behind him. They turn towards the chest when it is opened.
    • 7-Guardian - nothing special
    • 8-Purple Slime - always spawns in a ring around the slime king (power 1 monster) along the edges of the board. All of them are revealed by using the scroll that drops from the slime king.
    • 9-Romeo and Juliet - always face each other equidistant from the center line of the dungeon. Drops a healing scroll on death. Leave them alive for an achievement
    • 10-Mine King - always spawns in one of the 4 corners of the board. Drops a scroll that disarms all mines in the board.
    • 11-Mimic - looks like a regular chest upon being revealed. Won't fight you until you click it again after revealing it.
    • 13-Dragon - always spawns in the same spot on board near the center. A dragon egg (power 0 monster with 3 xp) will always spawn in one of the 8 tiles surrounding it. Defeat it and collect the 13 xp to reveal a crown which you can collect wherever you want to end the game with a win.
    • 100-Mine - the only way to disarm these is by defeating the mine king (power 10 monster) and using the scroll he drops. Disarmed mines are worth 3 xp
  • Had the same exact problem with my car. When I slowed down the car taking a turn or at a stop light it would lose power and shut off.

    Chances are very good the throttle body just needs to be cleaned. This as I discovered is one of the most common causes of this problem.

    Basically it's the valve that opens and closes to feed air into the engine. When you press the accelerator the throttle body opens up and when you take your foot off of it it starts to close. After awhile, gunk blocks the edges of the opening so the engine doesn't get enough air to make the little explosions that move the pistons.

    Take off a few covers and detach a few hoses to get to the throttle body, spray throttle body cleaner and scrub the edges of the throttle body clean and the car was good as new.

    You can do this yourself for the cost of a can of throttle body cleaner and some basic tools like old toothbrushes/rags, channel lock pliers, socket wrenches and screwdrivers. Even if you don't have the tools you can borrow some for free at your local O'Reilly, AutoZone, or whatever car parts shop you got in your area. Just tell them what you need, leave your credit card with them and they'll return it to you when you're done with the tools.

    Search YouTube for "clean throttle body

    <insert year model make of your car>

    " and you will find a ton of videos showing you step by step how to do it.

    Just an example:

    I'm a guy that doesn't even know how to change my own oil and I was able to do it in about an hour my first time after getting the supplies and watching the video along the way.

    Don't be intimidated this stuff is waaaaay easier to do than you might think and it'll save you a huge wad of dough and give you peace of mind :o

  • I mean you're looking at a few edge cases here. Most of us will tend to land in the average and never see that level of wild success. Yes, with the right skills you can get a well paying job without a degree but on the whole, people who get a higher education end up doing better financially.
