On this topic i will be posting stuff that happens to me while playing CKs. Feel free to add your own Xom experiences.

Some examples from today:

  1. Xom gifts me a great amulet, I am playing a Coglin.

Yeah, a lot of altering you did there, big guy.

For the record I checked and it was a net-0 change in stats.

From my CK games I especially remember three things:

  1. A very scary experience was in one of my DsCK games in which my boss decided to have some fun in Tomb:
    34892 | Tomb:2 | XOM: 7-stop teleportation journey
    Being teleported around in Tomb:2 was very nasty and close to deadly. I remember that my char survived with HP in the low double digits.

The following was much more funny:

  1. Until 0.25 there was a spell named Sticks to Snakes which transformed wielded arrows into snakes - kind of summoning spell without summon skill. Running around in Lair I saw a water moccasin approaching. Xom: “Snakes to sticks!” and the snake turned into wood.

And another game:

  1. You die…
    “No, not my child!”
    Xom revives you.

I have been a subject of Xom revivals a bunch of times during the 0.12 period!

Another scary Xom experience was when I tried to beat the TrCK combo highscore from 4thArraOfDagon, he ascended with 15 runes after 27084 turns in 2015.

Very likely it’s necessary to ditch Xom in the early game for a good turncount speedrun. 4thArra switched to Chei, I decided to switch to Wu Jian.

Xom wrath has become more dangerous in the last years, I think my TrCK game was in 2025.

I remember I had a lot of trouble in my first rune branch, the Snake Pit. One of Xom’s bad actions was to make my char vulnerable to fire which was very nasty.

Sooner or later everything was about surviving with this char but I failed.
