Classes

Elf

The early depths are the hardest to get through until defeating Tengu.

The Elf has terrible melee accuracy but high critical hit rates and he also starts with the unique elf dagger that balances it with its speed and good accuracy. Use door luring tactics when fighting with a melee weapon (no choice in early depths because there's a severe lack of arrows).

The Elf can disengage from any monster with the base character speed, allowing him to be proficient with hit and run tactics using ranged weapons.

Early Stages:

1-2: It's fairly simple, rats are very easy to kill so save your arrows and use the elf dagger instead easy 1-2 shot kills. and Just be sure to lure the Gnoll Scouts around corners or through doors because they are still tough to kill even with the elf dagger.

3-4: Beware of crabs; they parry your melee attacks making it even harder to land one with your low accuracy, and they cannot be lured through doors (base speed too high). For this reason, it is recommended to be level 4+ before descending to depth 3. Training on the easier depth 2 enemies before heading down is desirable if you have found Seeds of Sungrass or wells to help train continuously and save your food.

5: Refer to Goo Guide.

6-9: These enemies are not difficult as none of them have high base movement. Beware of Shadows and Water Elemental. At this point, how you progress really depends on your inventory. If you have collected enough ranged weapons, you are set. A battle wand is not a bad choice as you will never find enough arrows to use as your only ranged weapon.

10: Once you beat Tengu and have access to the subclasses, playing as an Elf becomes much easier. Getting to that point is the most difficult part of playing Elf.

Necromancer

The Necromancer starts with Necromancer Robes which allows you to summon a deathling companion once you have collected 5 souls from enemies you kill.

When encountering the Sad Ghost before Goo, you are presented with the option to make the ghost believe you have done whatever he asks of you, and he will immediately reward you normally.

If you fall down a chasm, all of your summons will die.

After deafeting 4th Boss Dwarf King you can to upgrade your Necromancer Robes with instruments into Bone armor. Bone arnor can use new ability Necrotism. Necrotism Is for one floor and it damage all (with Necromancer but only slight dmg) that you see.

With the Soulbringer Necromancer can became into Lich. Lich dont breath(gases, poisn and bleeding don't work on him). Lich lose 2 point of STR but his mana become double.

Gnoll

He starts without any armor but with unique Gnoll Tomahawk, which bleeding enemies. Gnoll Tomahawk has

average damage per hit-10.

Gnoll starts with 15 strength.

He cant read and write (he cant read scrolls, books and use arcane stylus).

Gnoll starts with 5 HP.

Gnolls do not attack another Gnolls until povoked.

To open Gnoll you need to subordinate gnoll brute and heal him at Town priest.

Late game:

Chaos sword and chaos armor are good complements for no scrolls to upgrade equipment.

NPC's

Caged Kobold

You can find the caged kobold in the same room where you can

Caged kobold

find the downstairs to the Ice Caves boss.He'll ask you for help to exit the cage,retrieving the Ice Key.

Enemies

Shadow

Fast and agile Shadows can attack you directly from a solid wall.

Mimic

In Remixed Pixel Dungeon, Mimics can appear in the form of a chest or a pasty,or even other more powerful form (In depth 26).

Air Elemental

It's a levitating enemy that is mainly found in cavernous depths. It can attack from two tiles away and pushes the Hero/ine back one tile. Take care when roaming along ledges as it will cause the player to fall to the next depth. A good tip to deal with these enemies is to light them on fire or freeze them.

Water Elemental

Water Elementals spawn on depths with water. When they are on a water tile, they are stronger, harder to hit, more accurate, and heal, so try to avoid fighting them until you lure them onto land or a doorway.

Earth Elemental

Earth Elementals spawn on depths with grass. When they are on a vegetation tile, they are stronger, harder to hit, and more accurate. Additionally, when both the Hero/ine and the elemental are on a vegetation tile, they can sometimes root you in place, so try to avoid fighting them until you lure them onto water or a doorway.

Ice Elemental

Ice elementals spawn on the Ice Caves.They're quite strong and tough.When they attack you,they can give you slowness debuff.

Spiders

There are three kind of spiders. First, there are the Spider Soldiers; when they attack, they may paralyze the Hero/ine for several turns. Secondly, there are Poisonous Spiders, which can, as their name indicates, poison the Hero/ine when they attack. Finally, there are Spider Workers which look like different kinds of plants. When attacking, they will give the Hero/ine the same debuff as the plant they look like. For example, a Spider Worker that looks like Sorrowmoss will poison you. After attacking, the Spider Worker will die. They can be one of the most annoying enemies in the game without ranged weapons.

There is also a Spider Queen on the last spider level. She moves around and lays spider eggs, so it would be best to dispatch her as quickly as possible. You can get Spider Armor or a Spider Pendant as loot for defeating her.

Floating Crystal

It's a very rare mob with extremely valuable loot. It can be spawned by Shadow Lord.

Shadow Lord

It's the boss in the Demon Nest. After a short time while you can attack him, it'll teleport in another room of that depth in which a Floating Crystal will appear.

Locations

Spider Nest

There are no doors in this special stage.

It is comprised of 5 depths, increasing gradually in size the deeper the Hero/ine goes.

It contains eggs and spiders that spawn from them. The sheer number can be overwhelming without a decent weapon. Also, the spiders attack with poison, fire, frost, teleportation, you name it.

To clear each depth, the Hero/ine must destroy all of the eggs, but it is not necessary. A good approach is to avoid the Spider Nest until at least one upgraded tier-3 weapon and/or armor has been obtained; then go back to tackle it.

Depth 5 has the Spider Queen, and she could drop a Chaos Crystal, Spider Armor, or a Spider Charm. Once that is done, you can climb back up and continue the game.

Demons Nest

These depths are following the Demon Halls. It's a weird place where the walls are made of flesh and the doors of bones.

New enemies can be found there, such as Worms or Suspicious Rats,in addition to monsters located in Demon Halls (Evil eyes). There is also a new NPC, the Stranger, which will both give you a quest and trade with you. His quest consists of killing the Treacherous Spirit and bringing his heart back to him. As a reward, he will give you a Potion of Might.

Necropolis

The entrance is found on depth 7, where you have to talk to a Necromancer to receive a key to unlock the entrance (unless your character is a necromancer class character, which already has the key to the Necropolis at the outset of the game).

Once you enter, you will see halls similar to the previous depth. You will encounter Zombies, Enslaved Souls, Exploding Skulls, Jar of Souls, Death Knights, Skeletons, and some of the enemies you may have encountered previously.

When you reach the last depth (12th floor),you will fight the Lich. He is a ranged/melee boss whose ranged attacks cause a lot of damage. There are two skulls in easy mode,three in normal mode,and four in expert mode.The blue one summons two Skeletons every few turns and will continue stacking the Skeletons if you don't do something. The red one heals the Lich every few turns. The green skull gives the Lich the power to create poisonous gas clouds around itself. It is highly recommended defeating the blue skull first, then the red, and then the Lich itself.

When fighting the Lich, he will teleport randomly. A strategy is hiding behind pillars until he teleports close enough to you, so you don't get hit with ranged attacks as often. The Lich, once defeated, provides a black skull that activates every so often and resurrects the next monster you kill as your slave to fight on your behalf. If you are a necromancer you will be given the option of either becoming a Lich yourself (and thereby be able to summon two spirits to fight for you) or to break the spell on the skull and use it as normal.

Ice caves

The entrance is found on 14 depth.

Once you enter, you will see halls similar to the caves. You will encounter Cobolds, snowflaces and Ice elementals.

Boss of this place is Ice Guardian. It acts like fat swarm of flyes. Attack only not-transparant guardian (guardian core), after killing core all guardians will be killed. It is the worst boss in PD universe.

Items

Artifacts:

These are wearables that give you special abilites and/or grants you buffs or debuffs. They are equipped in the same slots than accessories, many times making you to choice between their powers and buffs granted by rings.

  • Ring of Stone Blood:
  • Rat King's Crown:
  • Dried Rose:
  • Fetid Rat's Skull:
  • Corpse dust:
  • Spider Charm:
  • Black Skull:
  • Ice Key:
  • Candle of visions:

Ring Of Stone Blood

Ring Of Stone Blood allows you to walk through walls at the cost of some life power. Inexperienced adventurers frequently get caught in a wall. It can be obtained as a rare drop by killing the 5th floor boss. You cannot sell this item.

This item is not obtainable.

Crown of the Rat King

Wearing this crown gives you a unique buff called "Ratness". This buff essentially makes you new Rat King. If you a rat, albino or normal, it will be the same as using a Scroll of Domination or the Sacrificial Sword's special power. That rat is now bent to your will, and forced to fight for you. This effect is practically useless after Depth 5. Dropped by the Rat King with a probability of %100. You cannot sell this item.

Necromancer can proc domination everytime while wearing necromancer's robe.

Spider Charm

At the cost of 25% of your max health, it summons a spider ally to fight for you which will follow you throughout each depth until it dies. Equipping the amulet makes them follow you instead of roaming around. It has to be identified first before it's able to be used.

Chaos Crystal

The Chaos Crystal is obtained by beating the spider boss which can be found on the last depth of the spider lair or from killing DM-300 on depth 15. The entrance to the spider lair is on depth 5 where Goo is found. The Chaos Crystal, when identified, has a 0/100 counter that charges up as the Hero/ine takes damage. The Chaos Crystal must be equipped in a ring slot in order to charge. The Chaos Crystal is used to create a Chaos weapon by fusing it with any weapon.

Fusing a Chaos Crystal can be done by identifying it twice. Once completely identified, an option to fuse it with an item will show in the actions menu for the Chaos Crystal. If necessary, a Chaos Crystal can be equipped for a while in order to identify its number of charges, then a Scroll of Identify can be used on it to open the fuse option, thereby saving the need for using two scrolls.

Chaos Sword

It's earned by fusing a Chaos Crystal with at least 50 or so charges with any melee weapon. The unique sword will be created. It will, at first, be unidentified and always require 14 strength to successfully wield. Attacking enemies a few times will reveal a random enchantment upon the sword. This will be followed by repeatedly upgrading the sword every few levels (+1, +2 etc.) as well as further reducing the requirement to wield, which increases the efficiency. It is recommended that if there is a specific enchantment desired, save the game and then monster hunt until the desired enchantment is reached. Also note that infusing any cursed melee weapon will remove the curse and generate an entirely new weapon whilst consuming the old one, so no need to worry about cursed chaos swords.

Chaos Bow

It's earned by fusing a Chaos Crystal with at least 50 or so charges with a compatible ranged weapon such as a bow. The bow will be unidentified and always require 14 strength to successfully wield. Attacking enemies a few times, will reveal a random enchantment upon the bow followed by repeatedly upgrading the bow every few levels (+1, +2 etc.) as well as further reducing the requirement to wield, which increases the efficiency. It is recommended that if there is a specific enchantment desired, save the game and then monster hunt until the desired enchantment is reached. Also note that infusing any cursed ranged weapon will remove the curse and generate an entirely new weapon whilst consuming the old one, so no need to worry about cursed chaos bows.

If the enemy dodges a thrown arrow, the Chaos Bow will burst chaos magic on you, it will create fire, regrom, cloud of toxic or paralytic gas.

Chaos Staff

It's earned by fusing a Chaos Crystal with at least 50 or so charges with a wand. The staff will be unidentified and always have 2/2 charges. Upon attacking enemies a few times, will add spell combos upon the staff followed by repeatedly upgrading the staff every few levels (+1, +2 etc.) as well as further adding effects. It is recommended that if there is a specific combo desired, save the game and then monster hunt until the desired combo is reached. Also note that infusing any dead wand will regenerate an entirely new weapon whilst consuming the old one, so no need to worry about a dead chaos staff. Zapping a chaos staff will cause one of six effect:

  • Random blob
    • Toxic gas
    • Paralytic gas
    • Regrow
    • Fire
  • Insta-kill target
  • Put target to sleep
  • Dominate target
  • Teleport target
  • Heal target

Chaos Armor

It's earned by fusing a Chaos Crystal with at least 50 or so charges with any armor. It will create a unique Chaos Armor, which requires 15 strength and is unidentified at the beginning. Being attacked will slowly upgrade this armor. You can still put a Glyph on it and change it.

Black Skull

It can be obtained by defeating Lich in the last depth of the Necropolis.

When equipped, after killing enough enemies, the skull will awaken. Once it has awoken, the first enemy to be killed will be revived and follow you as a friendly enemy/an ally.

If you aquire the skull as a Necromancer, you are presented with 2 options:

  • The first is to release the protective spell on the skull, so it may function normally.
  • The second is to become a Lich. As a Lich, you lose 2 strength points and are able to summon 2 deathlings.

Ice Key

The Ice Key is the key you need to save caged kobold NPC. Ice Key is dropped from the Ice Guardians,who are the bosses of the Ice Caves chapter.

Candle of Visions

It's earned from caged kobold NPC when you open his cage with the Ice Key. The kobold NPC transmogrifies into the candle. It grants mind vision when equipped until the candle is completely melted. It only melts while equipped so it's useful to equip for a turn to sneak a peek at monster locations (which can help you locate treasures and rooms because the areas directly surrounding the monsters are displayed too).

Consumables

Blank Scroll

Well… just a blank scroll which can be found everywhere (especially in Library rooms).

They are not useless as one might think at first glance, but they can be converted to a random scroll if a rune is drawn on it by an Arcane Stylus. Or they can be remade in a well.

Codex

One of the many books that can be found in any library.

Some of the codex's may be written in demonic or elven languages. If this is the case you better hope that you picked a character that can read them. (I'm moderately sure Warlock, which is one of the upgrades to mage, can read demonic language while the elf can read elven language.)

Scroll of Domination

Randomly forces an enemy to permanently be an ally until death, attacking enemies in the depth that get near you. Not recommended for bosses as it will prevent progression unless you have some form of traps nearby to force kill it, as you cannot melee/range it unless using wands/traps/seeds... though using this method makes the kill a breeze without them attacking you... Be careful when trying to rig an easy kill on DM-300 as its following AoE can still kill you, and it repairs constantly.

It works well on statues. It will run around killing enemies until it dies; then it drops the weapon it was carrying. It's useful when a statue has a weapon that you want, but the Hero/ine cannot defeat it with his/her current equipment.

There are also many bugs that can be used with a Scroll of Domination. Using a scroll of domination on a spider womb will make every spider coming out of it dominated as well. And if you are to go to other parts of the dungeon (such as the prison, the sewers etc.) then the egg will create monsters that generally spawn there. You can create infinite bosses to fight for you this way. (Be wary that if you try this on level 15, many of your creatures will die from the toxic gas of the DM-300)

Scroll of Curse

This scroll curses all the items the Hero/ine is wearing. Attacking an enemy while the items are cursed by this scroll will cause the Hero/ine to burn and release paralytic gas. Your Hero/ine's good if this scroll isn't found.

The merchant can buy your Scroll of Curse for 300 gold.

Potions' Properties

It's almost exactly the same as the original.
A Potion of Liquid Flame is more dangerous as it actually acts like a spreading liquid. Stay clear!

Seeds' Properties

They are now edible.

Rotten Food

Food can rot if comes into contact with toxic gas, so don't use a Ration for trap disarming. Of course, eating Rotten Food won't be a good thing(It can be made into normal food through using potions to moisten it and it does feed you, but releases confusing gas(rarely), toxic gas or parylitic gas when you eat it), but if thrown, it will act as a Potion of Toxic Gas, or paralyzing gas, so throwing several in a room with sleeping monsters can be very effective.

Mana potion

This ugly potion restore 3 mana points.

New Armor

Gothic Armor

It's better than Plate Armor. It requires 19 strength to equip.

Rat armor

A leather armor made of rat hide, it's probably not contagious, this rat armor provides damage absorption up to 4 points per attack. You can get this armor with the plague doctor quest, you need give 5 rat skins to the plague doctor for the rat armor.

New wands

Wand of icebolt

Deals 4-6 damage, slow and freeze target. Can be obtained by killing ice guardian.

Wand of shadowbolt

It is magic missle. This wand deal 20-27 damage, can be obtained by killing one of shadow crystals of 1/9 chance.

(This is wrong, if you are to have a Blazing Crossbow, you will find it lights its targets on fire when shooting, even with normal arrows.) All kinds of arrows can be stored in a Quiver.
