How do you unlock the skeleton race?

#1 Post by PowerWyrm »

Do you need to get killed by a specific skeleton? Do you need special race/class combo? Is there an xp/level requirement like in ADOM (when you unlock the bug temple)?
Well just asking because I've been using a char to get killed over and over by skeletons and it's now the 100th death and still no skeleton race unlocked...

No, any skeletons do, but higher rank/level increases the odds

If you to Tol Falas, that really helps. Ghouls are harder than skellies to unlock. Skellies I got pretty easily down there.

When I unlocked a ghoul, I got it from a disease that killed me on the wilderness map. I was pretty happy when it finally happened. It took around 20 ghoul deaths to unlock.

The odds for ghoul unlocking and skeleton unlocking is the same...

http://doku.t-o-m-e.net/tome4:unlockables : Dying to an undead can unlock that undead race. Your odds are the undead's rank + the undead's level/2 percent.

So the trick would be to get a "Master" or "Boss" or "Elite" or one of those ghouls, they'll up your odds significantly.

Ghouls look pretty useful to unlock! I haven't done that yet, but a stun ability and extra con is awesome.
