This game's difficulty is a bit off in places IMO

You can make another ultimate secret or x of them. And DS won't be alone anymore.

And second, I like to fully understand a game after playing it for so long, yet there's hardly any info on the wiki other than does "Tons of Damage and perma-zerk". SOOOOOORRY if I had to go elsewhere to get that info since the mods make sure that the requirements don't become common knowledge.
Now please do me a favor and take your attitude elsewhere.

I am ok with taking my attitude elsewhere, but please note:
1. Difficulty is there for people who are doing crazy things with the game. Can't be easier, or we would have yet-another-modern-game-where-everyone-and-their-mothers-can-savescumm-to-get-all-the-rewards-possible-or-sth.
2. Lots of really good players (better than me) found DS few times before finding a way to pick it up.
3. There are people that know the game for years and haven't got DS in their hands (including my humble and great persona).
4. You started it, feel the pain of feedback :P .
Peace =) .

Shifted to the DoomRL forum since it is more on DoomRL than anything else.
Thanks to Game_Hunter for reminding my sleep-deprived brain of what I can do. =)

I just want to put in a quick word about my experiences with the Dragonslayer and how I managed to wield it (don't worry, I won't spoil the conditions). First time I saw it, naturally I couldn't figure out how to pick it up. It was disappointing, but I moved on. After that, however, I started doing a little legwork. There's a couple dozen mortems posted on CF that feature DS-wielding characters, and I began looking for common traits among those mortems. When I ran across another Dragonslayer (much later) my initial ideas on the wield conditions weren't quite right, but a few more semi-educated guesses saw my character finally brandishing the mighty blade.
tl;dr, With a little research and thought, anybody should be able to figure out how to pick up the DS.

@Cheesybox, regarding attitude, the last (and only) time I complained about difficulty in DoomRL, someone told me I deserved to die. You got off easy. ;)
And as for the original topic, I forgot to mention that in AoPc, closing doors behind you (C key) is surprisingly helpful in avoiding taking damage.

Hmmm... I've heard this before... I've looked through old mortems and still haven't figured it out... Maybe I'm looking at it from the wrong angle? I dunno... I've had a couple people privately offer to help me, but I'd still like to figure it out on my own.
*Tormuse goes off to ponder for a while...*
