I get past the 4th area, kind of easily, but the 5th and the final boss is cancer. Guides recommend getting a +6 plate armor. How the fuck do I get through the game if I don't find it. What if I find it in the second or third area? There are not nearly enough scrolls of upgrade to get that high.

What am I supposed to do? I am missing something but I don't know what.

Random tip: Use Alchemy to create 15 uses of Recycle then recycle your bad potions into Potions of Healing. Sometimes you get lucky and get like 6 potions of healing doing this. Other times you only get 1 or 2.

If you find another Scroll of Transmutation, do it again. I once ended a run with 26 potions of healing.

Other than that, the goal of the game is to learn how to beat it. It's meant to be very hard. I've only won 26 out of 136 runs, though a lot of those deaths were from trying to beat the game with 3 or more challenges enabled. However hard you think the game is, people beat it with even 6 challenges enabled, and many of those challenges are insane. But there are a million tricks to learn for a million situations.

Another random tip: Never step onto a fountain of healing. Instead, drink whatever is in your Waterskin then throw the Waterskin on the fountain. It completely fills it! Now you have instantly have enough dew drops to bless an Ankh.

But did you know the fountain of healing uncurses any equipped items, fills hunger, and (I think) cures debuffs? When I find a fountain of healing, I like to equip my unidentified items (even ones that are too heavy) until I've either found them to be uncursed, or have them stuck. Afterwards you'll know that most of your equipment is not cursed, and get some free curse removal.

Ha! Nope! Nice to know there are still things I didn't know in the game.
