[1.0.4] Walk-through Guide for Dwarven Solipsist (Roguelike)

[jenx]

I have written a complete walk-through guide for a Dwarven Solipsist playing Normal Roguelike mode.

http://te4.org/wiki/Walk-through_for_Dwarven_Solipsist

It is not a long-winded story-type guide, but a succint, tabular summary of each character level, with snippets of commentary on the key points as I see them.

It is designed for someone to imitate to a degree (obviously, gear will be different), particularly if (a) you've got no idea how to win with a solipsist or (b) you want a roguelike win to access Nightmare mode.

UPDATE: Finished, including section on Final Battle and Atamathon.

And complete list of order of zones.

Now at level 40, going very well....

Just wanted to say "thank you" for posting this to the Wiki ...

I had been struggling to find useful info on how to play Solipsist, and I really wish that there were similarly comprehensive guides for some of the other classes! I found the annotations about the different types of sleep and their pros/cons especially helpful, as well as the reasoning behind item choices etc.

A question: is there some tool that gives you the level-by-level breakdown for your character, or did you track/record all of that by hand? Great job, either way!

Solipsism and Mindstars not maxed yet and no AM? I need to read this guide. So far sounds interesting, especially since I just completed roguelike on Solipsing Adventurer myself.

Great guide!

Got my first win with this... and my first Giant Trash Can kill on the same day! Now, can this build take out Linaniil? Or should I just see how far I can get in the infinite dungeon?

Wow, comments after writing my guide months ago.

No tool just done by hand, and I'm happy it was useful.

Thanks! I didn't try Linaniil. But as I normally kill Atamathon, shouldn't be too tricky.

Haven't got much comments, except that it's been useful to me as well. Great guide.
