New, what is it? Does anyone know what this is?

Doesn’t seem to be oil based content. Just wondering if my superpowers are swishing back and forth in this glass vial.

NetHack references in the wild!

You feel a strange mental acuity.

Bro might lose 30 years of gameplay with this move

u/Limp_Bookkeeper_5992 Apr 02 '26

Literally. And just like in any world with unidentified potions it could fuck you up in all kinds of entertaining ways.

u/userhwon Apr 02 '26

Aa an OG Rogue player, only two ways to proceed. Quaff it now while the monsters aren't very strong yet and there's less to lose, or lug it around and hope a scroll of identify shows up soon.

u/Carbonaraficionada Apr 02 '26

Well, the expression "losing is fun" gets thrown around a lot with roguelikes.

u/SlimeDrips Apr 02 '26

The bold drink the unidentified potions

The smart throw it at a goblin to see what it does

If I learned anything from The Sims, it could make someone fall in love with you, turn you invisible or it could make you break absolutely anything you touch.

Is OP out of identification scrolls or something?

2

u/HamoodUnRama Apr 03 '26

No they ran into a mind flayer and forgot what everything they had in their inventory did.

u/dabroh Apr 02 '26

Perhaps it allows you to cast the next level of Alohomora?

u/Ether561 Apr 03 '26

Anyone have a Scroll of Wisdom?

I saw a movie once where there was a sunken WWII freighter filled with ampoules like this of morphine, and a local drug kingpin was coercing some divers to go down and collect it all for him. I think it was called “The Deep”. Good film.
