          You are of the cursed spawn of hell. You have been cast out
          by the whim of the greater demons, and now seek revenge.



          ...You were killed by Gachapin in the quest 'The Cloning
          Pits'.

Gachapin (more or less a clone of Barney the Dinosaur) has always been a bane of my berserkers--imagine my chagrin to find out I had to fight three of him in the Cloning Pits quest. Killed two, but alas the third surrounded me with summoned hydras while I was hallucinating, and I just couldn't hack through them quickly enough to get to him.

Next time, try drawing the Gachapin clones into the trees before fighting them...that way they won't see you until they're right next to you, where you can slice 'n dice them up at will. You're good enough at getting nasty equipment that this should be a good tactic for you. Oh yeah, and I recommend getting rChaos if at all possible before doing the Cloning Pits. Good luck!

Excellent point--I didn't really pay attention to the terrain here--my first foray into the Cloning Pits. Are the opponents the same each time?

Amusingly, I was defeated in the Arena by Barney.

I like Balrog Berserkers now (post Satisfy Hunger ability) because clumps of novice warriors and novice rangers are now like stacks of Elvish Waybread. :)

Some of the opponets change some are the same. You need to be able to handle heavy summons which means massacre decently and with a vampiric weapon if possible. Dual wield is also rarely worth it for damage as the to-hit is just too low.

After Gachapin all Zork had left was just the Queen Ant and her minions (and maybe another clone of "It" roaming about), so it was close...

Summoners are probably the chief bane of my berserkers. I had another Balrog Berzerker, Kroz, die today due to a run-in with someone (name escapes me) who summoned hydras when I was already low on health. I just didn't have the speed to keep Kroz alive long enough to hit stairs or recall.

Summoners are a problem until you get massacre high with a decent vampiric weapon. Vampiric can be so strong that you usually chose it over powerful artifacts except the non-living monsters. I used a vampiric great hammer for a *long* time with a recent berserker.

Yes, I'll have to keep an eye out for a good Vampiric weapon with my current Balrog Berserker. I get too caught up in artifact accumulation at times.

I tend to quest-dive pretty fast with 'zerks, so often I'm at the mercy of the RNG when it comes to The Vault quest (you can see my pattern with Zork here, doing The Vault at level 23 when any other class I'd be wondering if they'd be ready for Old Man Willow).

The vault can be really nasty or easy depending on what shows up. I once had a Raals generated close to Sting which made it very difficult to reach with a Berserker as you had to walk through a hail of magic.

Definately keep an eye out for anything Vampiric, even with a low damage base. Just keep something else on hand for undead/deamons and the like.

Over the past couple of characters I've had some good experience with Raal's Tomes of Destruction, but fortunately with the ability to tunnel approaches such that I came out close enough to withstand the assault. Getting a Raal's in a quest dungeon would definitely be a bad experience.

One time in the Vault I had a 'zerk make a beeline down one corridor/room, and got lucky and found Sting right off. By that time there was such a mess of stuff I just plowed through to the staircase, and managed to make it out with single digit hit points.

I try to clean up though, sometimes the Vault can be very lucrative if you're thorough.

The worst vault I ran into yet was with a Sorcerer which I did a little too early, ran into Lord Borel who started summoning, and even though I had Sting, I was killed before WoR activated, even using teleport constantly to try to get some distance.
