Status of the saddled Nightmare (lawful): Level 12 HP 24(24) Pw 78(78) AC -2, tame, fast, carrying you.
Just had to see if it could be done. Next, time to see if I can put One Eyed Sam to work for me.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.228.21 (talk • contribs)
- You can't, as shopkeepers can never be tamed even after being polymorphed.
- Does Nightmare's covetous nature make him act as an unusual saddle, or is it just like riding a really strong warhorse? -- Qazmlpok (talk) 13:19, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
She's like a really strong warhorse for the most part. There is an error generated...
- "placing steed onto map?
- Program in disorder - perhaps you'd better #quit."
... whenever Nightmare would normally perform and action but can't due to being ridden. Examples: If there is a coveted item on the current level and she's being ridden, the error will be generated because she can't teleport to it. If her hit points are below full, and there isn't a coveted item in your backpack, the error will be generated because she can't teleport to the upstairs. This error isn't generated while you are carrying any coveted items, assuming because she is already where she want to be, with you and your item.
So the last level on the wizard quest went something like this. Rode her down the stairs. Error (coveted item on the level). I dismounted her and she was gone before I hit the ground. Casted detect monster, and she was standing next to the dark one. I stepped onto the upstairs, and the dark one teleported next to me all bruised and bloodied. Nightmare also teleported back with the Eye of the Aethiopica. She dropped the amulet and finished the Dark One off in the next action before I could do anything else. So I was standing there on the upstairs with both the Eye of the Aethiopica and the Bell of Opening at my feet within three actions. I'd say that was effective.--67.168.228.21 00:46, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
