Forum:5.0.0 teleportation problems?
Playing 5.0.0 on Hardfought. Wizard now at level 23. Recently killed Asmodeus and Juiblex.
1) Since reaching Level 17, Wizard has eaten at least 5 leprechauns and nymphs but no teleportitis. Statistical possible but not probable.
2) Confirmed teleport control 2 ways: wand of enlightenment and prompted where to go when Wizard zaps self with teleportation wand. But fails to go where specified, at least in 3 levels just below Valley of the Dead. Wand of stasis used earlier on one of those levels but hundreds of turns ago.
Anybody else experienced something similar?

- Two relevant rules may be that you can't level teleport from above the Valley of the Dead to below it, and that attempting to control a teleport while stunned or confused might not work (see teleport control for details). If neither of those explains it, you should probably be more specific about which levels you were trying to teleport to and from. Ais523 (talk) 17:50, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
The teleportation I mentioned was only intra-level (between stairs on the same level). No levelporting capability. Branchporting works fine.
As for confusion or stunned-ness, never try teleportation in such circumstance except in an emergency.

- Oh, in that case you were probably on the same level as a monster that blocks teleportation (most of the named demon lords do). Ais523 (talk) 19:50, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
No, the teleportation still happened. It just didn't go where intended.
In any case, the two named demon lords that had been on two of those three levels were dead. The Wizard had killed Asmodeus and Juiblex. No others in sight [blindfolded telepathy].
