i see mobs can be limited now to two mobs and i see this making a solo climbers day a lot easier.
i would like to know what kind of surprises can catch a solo player off guard and get him DEAD.

also any tips or tricks would be appreciated!

feel free to post in thread or pm

two mobs max can be set to on or off:
/set easy 1 = on
/set easy 0 = off

Most dangerous thing you're likely to encounter solo is having easyoff and finding ambush, which spawns with 3 mobs and they get a first turn attack. Some of which such as the caterpillar can hit 3 times in 1 turn.
If you leave easy mode on, i dont think the pre-requisites to ambush have a chance of spawning and i dont believe ambush does either.


Most likely cause of death as always is lag.

Dont play on your phone

A fairly good way to prevent deaths is to go to town before it's too late ( Yeah DUH, eh?)

However, there are certain built-in aspects of the game that can prevent a quick exit to town

one is the auto-hold attack option activated
another is having the Ctrl-Click on door activated.

You can enable/disable these functions by pressing Esc and set it to your personal preference

My choice is de-activate the Auto-hold, and do not activate the Ctrl-Click

I am guessing you are using a character that has NOT done a Master Quest, thus you are automatically playing on "easy mode"

As stated by McDavid, use the /easy mode if you want to continue playing against 1-2 normal monsters and 1 evil presence.
The only downside to this is, once you get to level 71+, you will encounter 1-3 normal monsters and 1 evil presence (using /set easy 1),
otherwise you will encounter 1-3 evil presence.

Once you have done your first master quest attempt and you continue on with that character (passed or not), you will encounter 1-3 normal
monsters and also 1-3 evil presence.

Playing with /set easy 1 (1-2 normal / 1 evil) you will not be able to do certain objectives:
Pinch / Hack / Ambush... the first objectives you will get are Maze & Bits n Pieces... once
you level to 46+ and new catacomb, you will activate Treasure Pest, then Sneaky (normally
around level 60+ for sneaky depending on how soon you get Treasure Pest.

Monster abilities to be aware of... Slugslider (spawn more), Gigabee (spawn more 2 at a time), Freaver and other stunner, Glazier does multi
Ice attacks and the physical damage also deals cold damage. If a robed character, be cautious of Pawfulgores' QD at higher levels.

Hope this helps, I choose to have Auto-hold activated since I solo and only use heavy weapons.

If you need any help feel free to pm me or message me im on daily
