I've been busy lately but finally had a bit of time to test this and the unlock worked as expected for me. If you're still having any trouble or if you have any more info about the circumstance (such as which dlcs or other addons may have been in use, which race or which boss, etc) let me know.

Sand is also scarier because items that offer water breathing don't help with that. You need to be undead -- either as your original race or through items like belts of unlife or corpselight lanterns -- to survive that. And you'll still get crushed.

I looked into the code and found that this evolution is unlocked when defeat a boss while unarmed as a cursed. I followed the instructions and still see no unlock information

I am interested in this evolution, but I find no access to this evolution after creating several characters with this addon active.

Gone but not forgotten

I always go straight in water breathing or not. I think I have one death in all of my many deaths I can attribute to drowning.

I had this issue on my integrated graphics laptop. The addon worked fine, it only disables the water shader.

What actually fixed it for me was a shift to a Linux distro however. I'm not saying run a partician specifically for ToME, but it was most likely an obscure windows graphics driver issue.

Fun campaign, but seems to be bugged. Upon beating the dwarf expedition leader in Old Mythrescar, nothing new opens up and no scripted events or anything happen. I'm presuming there's meant to be more after that since there's people on the forums talking about bosses I haven't noticed.
Lots of cool ideas and mechanics that I've seen so far though, enjoyed what I could play of it.

Also, not activating and fighting Atamathon before level 10 is cheating. I can't even count the number of so-called "winners" who skipped that important step, or only did it late in the game. Cowards don't deserve to claim they "won" the game without killing Atamathon before level 10.

Hi, I wanted to use your mod with a quick change on my side to have rerolls free but the file has an header issue and I can't extract it properly. Could you help ?

If it's a difficult fix, I completely understand. Honestly, most of the annoyance is self-inflicted because I will keep tapping the icon or the hotkey, thinking I pressed the wrong key or didn't tap my trackpad hard enough. It usually takes me 3 tries or so before I stop and remember that it doesn't function if there's one in my transmo chest. Just me being stupid. Also, I tend to not look too closely at loot I've picked up because I enjoy the feeling of looking at all my nice goodies once I've cleared a level, so I tend to not know I've picked up a rod until then.

Thank you. Not sure I'm quite ready to faff about with Adventurer yet. I have so much unlocking to do ;)

Yeah, resisting chests and such is SUCH an important skill. For that winning run I skipped every single vault from the Prides onwards. Admittedly, I had (what I though was) really good gear, so that was easy. That Elemental Fury ring alone probably made the game so much easier. No need to risk death at that point.
