:A: You died because you either ran out of food or the max hit of the enemy exceeded the threshold for {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat|nolink=true}}. For example if you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier I}}, it has 20% health threshold and you have 100 HP. As the threshold for {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat|nolink=true}} to trigger would be <=20 HP, an enemy with a max hit >21 could kill you without ever triggering {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat|nolink=true}}.

:A: Unless the item is a special drop (see https://wiki.melvoridle.com/w/Easter_Eggs), you're probably just unlucky. There are currently no known drop bugs, so keep at it!

Q: How can I avoid taking so much damage from dragonbreath attacks?
Q: How can I avoid taking so much damage from dragonbreath attacks?


:A: You can reduce dragonbreath damage with your DR, using the dragon fire shield, and the cyclops/dragon summoning synergy. However, your best bet is to just stock up on food and kill the dragons more efficiently. You will generally be best off using magic against dragons. Try to increase your damage and item doubling instead of focusing on defense.

:A: Full {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet|Mithril}} armor and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Scimitar|weapons}} are fine if you are in a hurry.

Q: Why are my/enemy hitpoints and damage much higher than I expected?
Q: Why are my/enemy hitpoints and damage much higher than I expected?


:A: If you are playing on adventure mode, all hitpoints, damage, and [[Food]] healing are multiplied by 10. This is purely a cosmetic change.

:A: Yes. {{Skill|Ranged}} has better clear times than melee for many different combat scenarios, especially against magic enemies. However, you will need to craft or find ammo. You will need ranged to progress through the god dungeons https://wiki.melvoridle.com/w/Guides#Dungeon_Guides
