Weapons that go the Distance by Vorlin
Vorlin
I did some extensive testing and came up with a list of the weapons that hit every creature in Demise (i.e. would hit even the highest level weapon resistant creature). I used the Destroyer of the Deep, the High Priestess, and the Lord of Wizardry as my test subjects to see whether the weapon would hit or not. Obviously the KJ would be the ideal test, but there are certain reasons *cough* decapitate *cough* why that wasn't practical.
If anyone finds a creature that a weapon listed below won't hit (besides the weapon immune ones), please let me know the weapon and the creature.

Weapons that hit all (by weapon type):

Tewaza of Dissolution
Executing Tewaza
Tewaza of Crushing
Ninja's Tewaza
Assassin's Tewaza

Drakul's Fang
Sabre Blade
Demon's Fang
Dragon's Fang

Cross of Fury
Cross of Requinix


Murdering Blade
Holy Sword
Sword of Slaying
Sword of Domination
Vorpal Blade
Blade of Gerong
Dragonslayer
Blade of Thunder
Destroyer
Sword of Flames

Staff of Flaming Death
Staff of Helarno
Staff of Destruction

Massive Mace
Mace of Dispelling
Warlord's Mace

Axe of Power
Axe of Darkness
Ancient Dwarven Axe

Hammer of Burning Fury
Hammer of O'Landra

*************

The mythinite axe, drakul's fang, and sabre blade surprised me, didn't expect those to go the distance. Was hoping the dagger of wizardry would, but it didn't. *sigh*


Darken
Doesnt my lovley Mengus hit all aswell?
i`ll be disappointed if it doesnt!


Vorlin
Menghus doesn't go the distance, which is a damn shame, because it's a sweet weapon. *comfort*



Pandora
That is really surprising about the drakul's fang. Even nicer, since I actually HAVE one of those, and a few chars that can use it!



DS - The Hermit
Granted, there's only a half to full dozen monsters Menghus won't hit, so if you know which ones those are, and about where they spawn (several are laired, in my experience), then you can use Menghus 90% of the time and switch to a second weapon for other fights.
Lessens the haul you bring home, but at least you get to use it, so sayeth The Hermit.

Or simply nuke your way out if you have a chance to

I have one little correction to make to this list. I took my explorer down to the basement the other day witht he mithinite axe and met up with a couple creatures it would not hit (lord of wizardry, chuka). So I guess this one will need to be crossed off the list. Vorlin: are you sure the axe hit the Lamurians? Seems strange that it would hit them and not the creatures I mentioned.


Vorlin
List has been edited, either I made a mistake in seeing hits that weren't there, or I made a bad assumption about a creature's weapon resistance. Thanks for the info. Have also added Holy Sword to list.
Any other corrections anyone sees, please post as Mirkwood did. Thanks.


Kevin
Anyone ever try Hands on the Kutan?


Pyro
hmmm, not exactly sure but... Don't think vorpal will hit Dragon King, works on the Queen and the Prince. Have been using the Slayer lately soooo don't quote me.


Vorlin
No weapon will hit the dragon king except the Dragonslayer. Since that's a special case, I ignored it for this list.


Parser
IIRC, the Dragonslayer is the only weapon that will hit the Dragon King. Is the same as saying that the VB doesn't go the distance because it won't hit the Gruks...


Parser
hehehe Vorlin, you beat me. Why do I have to take so much time to write a reply?, I'm always in more than one place at a time...
