General hints
Always check your SELF panel - if you wear a ring and the resistance
doesn't show
it is a ring of delusion - dump it.
look for wierd fumes to get your # of fingers to 16 and eyes to 5
let it envelope you -do not kill it- you need a blessed cure for each new finger/eye
you gain to eliminate vertiginous caused by flume.
one way to start
choose Sage as first class
write a scroll of switch bodies
become a Draugr
first reach level 10 so that you can write scrolls
make a BACKUP of your save-file
search for the 'teleport star' that takes you to slater's sea
get Skidblanir
go north to River Gjoll(I think)
on the right side inside the fog is the entrance to Niflheim
go west into Nirdavellir
look out for a Draugr and read the scroll
choose Viking as your next class, because you need fighting skill
you can raise your strength above .99 each 10 viking levels
boost up your AC by blessing rings of agility(+100 is max.)
another possibility is to get your luck to 100 and then wish for a
+99 ring of agility then use a blessed scroll of recharging on your wand
then one more scroll of blessing...+100 agility
make sure that you don´t overcharge your wand of wishing(max is 5 charges) all other classes are not important, you can get the skills via scroll of knowledge
Another way is to start as a blacksmith and switch to a sage after you
reach the master class blacksmith.

I have found an excellent strategy which nearly always wins, and quickly too. I call it the 'time stop' technique. Start as a sage and wait till you get to level 13 which allows you to write a time stop scroll. On reaching lev 20 become an alchemist and
create a potion of dimension travel. Never, but never, polymorph yourself, since there is no telling what you will become!
Time stop scrolls (TSS) allow you to...
1) Not bother with the (heavy) green stone. Simply read a TSS when you meet Scyld
2) Combine with phasing (if you're not ethereal) to travel to Nidavellir and/or Jotenheim from the forest and simply kill Uorik/Gymir while time is stopped!
3) All the denizens of Niflheim can be picked off one by one. You can stop time whilst in the crossroads, so read your TSS before travelling to Niflheim and dispatching at your leisure. Obviously you'll need a decent weapon though.
4) Sealed rooms and monster traps can also be sorted out with a TSS.
5) I agree, swimming is a bugger. Bit of a weak point in this excellent game, because no, you don't always acquire that skill. However, it just makes it that bit harder to win, but it is possible. Neither do you need ansolutely ALL the gods' weapons, but
better if you do.
