Can't approach Flagstone demon

[Canuck]

Update 58 is not high enough for sullengard lmao. Everything swarms and kills me.

I've made it to Sullengard a few times in the early/mid 40s (even playing in permadeath mode). You can't hack your way in at that level, so be ready to do a lot of dodging and hit-and-run, and when forced to fight, keep a line of retreat open.

Level 3 of the Evasion skill makes a huge difference (nearby swarms are much less likely to attack), but I've done it both with and without.

Keep up your HP, and

remember that monsters rarely attack you on the first square where you enter a tile, so that's an excellent spot to rest and regenerate, and also to watch where the monsters are/aren't moving to plan your path around them
