Update 18.0a fixes a problem which prevented some high scores from being uploaded to Steam. The bug affected most of the games with very good scores, and thus the leaderboards looked as if mostly nobody has ever beaten the second boss. View your local scores ("View achievements and the Hall of Fame" in the menu) to send them to Steam. Unfortunately, your local scores will not be uploaded to the "no potions of life" leaderboards if you later used a Potion of Life in the given game. Also share your game logs or strategies on the forum! http://steamcommunity.com/app/432380/discussions/0/371918937262956260/

Quite a long time from the last update, but it is quite a big one! It includes two new lands (Warped Coast and Rose Garden), one new Crossroads variant, two new gameplay modes (Heptagonal and Chaos), one new graphical mode (Hypersian Rug mode), 11 new achievements, and some other improvements. See http://zenorogue.blogspot.com/2016/03/hyperrogue-82.html for details! http://store.steampowered.com/app/432380 Also, Hydra Slayer is coming soon to Steam! Both HyperRogue and Hydra Slayer are roguelikes based on mathematical concepts from the same author, yet they are different at the same time -- while the world of HyperRogue is very open, in Hydra Slayer you descend a dungeon, where your resources are limited, and you have to find out how to use them most effectively. While HyperRogue is based on its unique geometry, Hydra Slayer is based on its unique math-based combat system (although there is some interesting geometry too). There are already some extra features over the free version of Hydra Slayer (like the random challenges), and hopefully, like HyperRogue, there will be more and more! Have fun, and thanks to everyone who voted for Hydra Slayer on Steam Greenlight!

Solution: It is impossible without the silver dagger (the number of heads always stays divisible by 3), but possible with the silver dagger, for example: 9 -> longsword -> 6 -> longsword -> 3 -> dagger -> 7 -> scythe -> 0.
If you liked this puzzle, and you also like dungeon crawling, Hydra Slayer is for you!
Hydra Slayer is a roguelike (randomly generated dungeon crawler), with unique combat mechanics based on the puzzle above. It is challenging both at a short term tactical level (each hydra is a unique challenge, bumping into it with your weapon almost never works), and at a long term strategy level (you have to build a set of weapons which slays hydras effectively). While the early levels could be used to teach arithmetics and tactical planning in a fun way, building an effective set of weapons for late levels is a challenge even for expert number theorists!
Hydra Slayer currently features a tutorial, 5 player character races with distinct characteristics, 28 enemy types (10 common hydras, each in two varieties, and 8 special enemies), 28 types of equipment including rare artifact weapons with special properties (not counting material and size variations), 15 weapon materials, 18 types of magical items which help you in your quests, three game geometries to choose from, 8 level topologies on very deep levels (including the Möbius strip and Klein bottle), 11 level generators, and two endings (a small victory for quick challenges and more casual players, and a big victory for those who want more challenge).
Hydra Slayer is available for free from its website. By buying the Steam version, you get typical Steam features, and more frequent updates -- currently, the Steam version has the following bonus features:
- online achievements and leaderboards
- Steam trading cards
- cloud-based saves
- daily challenge
- automatic updates
- a "challenge" mode for short but very interesting games (much more unpredictable than the normal play)
- updated interface and performance (watch those heads fly!)
- new music
- traps to lead hydras on
- Orbs which provide a powder/potion effect many times at the cost of a weapon slot
- source code (except the Steam features)
