I am using the dragon armor and headwear all the good stuff you can get including the deflector and sword of forgotten, but my hero always dies after breaching the gate.

Hi Yeet,

Your code is pretty complicated for someone to look at and problem solve, so you’ll maybe need to do that yourself. It’s a key skill in coding :smile:.
A few thoughts:

  • Is the paladin heal function working? Ie is your hero’s health going down when the paladin could heal them?
  • Rather than having one while True loop with the stages defined as a variable, would it be worth having break point(s) in the loop and put each stage in separate while True loops. That would reduce the number of elif lines (which makes things more complicated).
  • Do you want to start putting in comments about what each section of code is trying to achieve? It probably all makes sense to you, but if you want someone else to problem solve for you then you need to help them understand it.

Hope that helps,

Jenny
