Useful pointers

Here are some useful pointers for experienced nethack players.

How to get each of the alignment keys.

Ascension kit information for dNethack

The "Pokedex" entry for each monster is incredibly informative. Checking new creatures with far-look is a good idea. Information on the monster's attacks and resistances are generally displayed. Additionally a Stethoscope will show the current hit points of the creature.

dNethack in Junethack

Xlog trophies

That was the easy one: Obtained at least one alignment key.

Through the gates of Gehennom: Obtained at least three alignment keys (the number needed to complete the game).

Those were for replay value...: Obtained all nine alignment keys.

Games played trophies

King of dNethack: Ascend a game with all the new races/roles in dNethack.

Prince of dNethack: Ascend a game with half the new races/roles in dNethack.

dNethack Tour: Played a game (at least 1000 turns) with all the shiny new races/roles in dNethack.

The new races in dNethack are incantifier, clockwork automaton, half-dragon, and drow. The new roles are Troubadour, Noble, Pirate, and Binder. Convict and Vampire are also implemented, but are insufficiently distinct from their incarnations in other variants to count. Note that you can play an incantifier Noble, an incantifier or drow pirate, and a Binder of any race.
