I suspect there's enough exp lying around EB to get incredible use out of The One Horn, but it's not really necessary to stack huge resists there.
As for your testing, @shade_of_ox, as far as I can tell there is no bug. The intent of The One Horn is that hitting an exp valuable enemy transforms it into a goat of the same level. That means it drops all traits, including Zotted!, Wicked Sick, Poison Stacks, Undead, Bloodless, or anything else. While most of these aren't abusable, the interaction with Wicked Guitar is a creative way to get more out of both items (which I'd say is a good thing considering The One Horn is frequently overshadowed and Wicked Guitar is frequently meh). This is an entirely separate issue from LT Lekon's Chosen revival, which is fixed at the start of the dungeon and thus *not* effected by Wicked Sick (just like cultists are not). An additional unique quirk of this revival interaction is, as discussed, the preservation of bloodless, magic attack, and undead. This was done to prevent abusing Dracul/MA even more extremely than one already can there, and is not connected to how The One Horn (and really Mark of the Goat as a player buff on the whole) functions.
So Wicked Guitar shenanigans are legit and everything is functioning as it should be. Depending on whether there are more dungeons that allow the player to reach a staggering XP count, The One Horn might receive a change, but for now have a blast with it. (If it did receive a change, the reasoning would be predominately just to reduce overlap with the Dragon Shield, but it no longer breaking high exp dungeons would be a potentially positive side effect.)
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.
