====== Undead City Guide ======

//Category: Guide | Region: Cobrahn | Difficulty: Intermediate//

//A community-compiled guide to the Undead City dungeon levels. Information from Ren, Ztinktoof, Watcher, Thundar, Mihey, Demonaic, and Tranquil. Original thread started by Rasker.//

===== General Tips =====

  * All rooms are twiggable; anything outside rooms is not (—Mihey)
  * Bring at least two psi-cutters, preferably three
  * You NEED anti-stun: a healer in the party or a ninghi helm
  * Cobrahn prot-stun twigs start failing on UC2
  * IV or a ment in the party for visibility
  * Coin, gems and experience are very good on all levels

===== UC1 =====

**Enemies:** Quaz (hide, thrown daggers), Mummy (GS), Rada (hand)\
**Psi Attacks:** Assault, Enmiss, Darkness

A relatively easy level to start with basic gear, though you need psi-cutters for the constant pecking. Familiarize yourself with UC1 before progressing.

  * 2 places on this level commonly have Quaz — stay away from them
  * Quaz take a while to hit but can one-shot smaller players
  * Rarely, a non-Quaz crit can hit for 700-900 (very rare on UC1)
  * With kaldor robes and a cutter, you'll be fine
  * Excellent place for quick experience for smaller players

===== UC2 =====

**Enemies:** Pumped versions of UC1 critters\
**Psi Attacks:** Add BIG stun to the list

  * **Stay away from blobs** — level 18 PS rings are useless against their stun
  * Radas are tougher to hit
  * Quaz hit harder with daggers and can one-shot most players with a proning hit
  * 2-3 Quaz commonly regen around the green rectangle in SE corner
  * The shield house is a safe house and twiggable
  * **Shield house:** Trade for +100 and +200 shields
  * Very nice gold and random treasure

===== UC3 =====

**Enemies:** Even bigger versions\
**Psi Attacks:** Add Charm, Scare, Espear. Blobs mend themselves.

For advanced to moderately advanced players. Even with psi-crush gear, espear protection, and anti-stun, most will find it challenging.

  * Very interesting graphics
  * Tremendous gold and decent skill
  * Quaz can one-shot many players if proned + backstabbed

===== UC3.5 =====

Same as UC3 but in bigger numbers.

  * First area has no psi, just physical — not very rough
  * Kills give 51k+ exp each without tons of HP
  * Square area has rooms with specific crit types (Blobs, Umbers, Quaz, etc.)

===== UC4 =====

Pumped versions of UC3 critters with very beefy damage. Comparable to KM-4 of Cobrahn.

  * Radas will deplete your disciplines on contact
  * Not recommended solo unless at the highest sizes
  * Psi crush, Charm, EC, Espear, and lots of nasty spells
  * Best with a party

===== UC5 =====

Possibly the toughest dungeon in the game.

**Everything that can happen, happens here:**
  * Earthcrush, PSI-CRUSH, Charm, Stun, Paralyze, Espear, Blind, Dark
  * Huge Radablackbelts that prone and pummel you
  * Mummies that can one-shot you
  * Very tough Skeletons
  * Multiple attack types at once from groups

UC5 also contains several quests and dungeons with lair crits. Think of it as having "roaming lair critters."

===== Firestorm Bracers =====

FS bracers become more powerful with each dungeon level:
  * UC1 bracers: protect 100 FS damage
  * UC3.5 bracers: protect ~300 FS damage
  * Give UC1 bracers to small healers — FS is much better skill than EC, ages less, and does more damage per EP for smaller healers
  * Two Guntver robes stack for ~20 EP regen; each is a psi-cutter

===== Improva Quest =====

On UC1: Obtain the 4 elemental scrolls to improve a forged weapon.
