Death is an inevitable part of Caves of Qud. | Death is an inevitable part of Caves of Qud. Anything dies when it reaches 0 [[HP]] or less, although there are also various means of [[instant death]]. | ||
In [[Classic Mode]], the player dying would typically end the run unless they were in a [[precognition|precognitive vision]] or [[domination|dominating]] a creature. In all other modes, it's possible to reload from the last checkpoint made. | |||
== Death Screen == | |||
When the run ends, a death screen will display summarizing the run. The screen will contain: | |||
* The name of the player character surrounded by {{qud char|&W|Ω}}s. If they ended their game by crossing into [[Brightsheol]], the name will be surrounded by {{qud char|&W|φ}}s instead. | |||
* Date and time that the game ended | |||
* Cause of death, instant or otherwise. | |||
* Level | |||
* Points scored for scoreboard (See [[#Calculating Points]] for full logic) | |||
* Turns survived | |||
* Number of lairs discovered | |||
* Number of items [[name]]d | |||
* If any artifact was created, how many storied items were generated. | |||
* The most advanced artifact in your inventory (See [[#Calculating Most Advanced Artifact]]). | |||
* What mode the game was played in | |||
* The last 30 messages in the message log | |||
* The player's chronology, as detailed in the [[journal]] {{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.Core|class=XRLCore.cs|method=BuildScore|name=xrlcore}} | |||
=== Calculating Most Advanced Artifact === | |||
The most advanced artifact is measured by summing Tech Tier, Tier of the item, Complexity and Difficulty (for [[Artifact examination]]). If the total is the same between two artifacts, the game will break the tie by comparing stats in this order: | |||
# Total sum of TechTier, Tier, Complexity, and Difficulty | |||
# TechTier | |||
# Tier | |||
# Complexity | |||
# Difficulty | |||
If the items are exactly the same in all of these stats, the previous artifact will not be replaced. <ref name="xrlcore"/> | |||
=== Calculating Points === | |||
After dying, the player's score is calculated from the various actions they took, items they obtained, locations they visited, and so on in the course of their game. This is the score recorded in the High Scores menu. | |||
The player's score is summed across the following categories<ref name="xrlcore"/>: | |||

After adding points across all categories, 422 points are automatically subtracted to build the final score. | |||
