First time I have got this far with three challenges. I had to pull all the stops out to get past the Dwarf King!

Picked up a ring of wealth early on, then the trap mechanism trinket. Got the wast of blast wave +2 and talisman of foresight… so upgrading the trinket was a no brainier. Lots of fun times knocking enemies into pits and traps. The sneak ability was a godsend for getting in the right place to knock enemies about!

Seed hmx-wdt-kbp. Wish me luck for the last few floors… the +3 greataxe I got from the dwarf king will help!

The challenges are champions, badder bosses and pharmaphobia

Update: just transmuted my +6 ring of wealth into a ring of haste. Sweet! Also got mages wand shield ability from upgraded transmutation and two potions of experience. Now to face Yog!

    Do you have a strategy for using the spellbook? I’ve picked it a few times and got it to like +2 or +3 before, but it always feels like I’m wasting scrolls on an artifact that’s too random to be useful

      I wouldn’t say I have a strategic plan, I just try upgrade it as high as possible. I only use it in a place where I am relatively safe, but the upgraded spell book is too much fun to not upgrade

    Done it!

    First win with pharmaphobia First win with badder bosses First win with duellist First win with three challenges

    Ascending I found a scroll of upgrade in an evil chest 🤣

    so ended with a +6 shocking greataxe and +6 ring of haste which isn’t bad
