Crawl Cosplay Challenge

Set 6 Week 2 : Antaeus, Guardian of Cocytus

Once a hero among the titans, Antaeus grew jealous of the titan queen. In single combat he challenged and slew her, and for this crime he was exiled and descended into the Hells. Finding the inhabitants of that place no match for his might, Antaeus tore from its substance a fourth Hell, Cocytus, a realm born of frozen spite.

The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orcish Mines, the Vaults or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.

NOTE: Except for Beogh, Ignis, Jiyva and Lugonu, an altar for the other gods will ALWAYS show up by D:10.

Cosplay conduct points

1. Weapons

Train Unarmed Combat and Fighting only for weapon skills.

2. Armour

Be wearing Ice Dragon Scales at the time of your morgue, as well as from when you enter Zot onwards. If there are none available you can still enter Zot, but you must wear them as soon as you find some, and you must be wearing some in your morgue to get the points for this conduct.

3. Fighting

Train Fighting to skill level 21 by XL27.

Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.

Bonus challenges

1. Cursed Realms of the Winterdemons

Win the game using only Ice, Air, and Necromancy spells.
