Line 460:
** [[Dungeon Bypass]]: The main idea of "digging for victory", and often invoked by real-time and minimum-turncount speedrunners - run down to reach the Castle as fast as possible, snag the wand and wish up a kit, and then win the game from there.
** [[Flat Earth Atheist]]: The "atheist" conduct involves not using any of the religious elements of the game ({{spoiler|except for sacrificing the Amulet of Yendor, and even then, there's a patch that eliminates this, too}}), satisfying the technical specs of this trope.
** [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: The "nudist" conduct - in other words, no armor whatsoever, meaning you'll have to find other ways to gain vital resistances and improve your defense.▼
** [[Kill'Em All]]: The game also tracks whether or not you genocide other monsters and how many; related to this, the "extinctionist" conduct requires the player to render as many monsters in the game extinct as possible by killing enough of them.
▲** [[
** [[Pacifist Run]]: It is possible for a very skilled player to win the game without personally killing anything; this often requires the use of powerful pets.
** [[Speed Run]]: Naturally. The wiki has a list of [https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Speed_ascension speed ascensions], and speed play accounts for both in-game time (i.e. turn-count) and real-time.
** [[Low-Level Run]]: The "protection racket" is a 'lesser'
* [[Set a Mook to Kill a Mook]]: Wearing the ring of conflict causes every nearby monster that isn't you to start attacking any other nearby monster '''''including''''' you!) The Sceptre of Might can also be invoked literally to generate conflict. <!--As of version 3.7.0, this only works if you and the afflicted monster(s) can see each other.-->
* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: Amulets of unchanging can be worn for this effect, and rings of protection from shape changers can enforce this on other monsters, forcing them into their base form. This will also be enforced if you genocide your race/role while polymorphed - change back through any means and you will die.
