I will Goating this forever, I'm sure.


Another one, could be succesful, but I ran out of food after entering Horatio's room. 9th floor No Exp = No Food.
No way to get Tithes also, so no chance to win anyway.

Finally.
I am the true Goat here!

So I have to say, you NEED the right gods sequence (after getting BOTH immunities, no Soul Orb AND Viper Ward => restart, no matter what, just don't waste your time (counting shops, all day... one, two, three, eight, stop, no Orb/Ward? Restart!). From hundreds of tries I've noticed, first conversion often picks prepped god (other choice — god from first floor. But prepped picking let's say in 8 runs from 10.), that's why I'm prepping Bear Mace and Binlor. And in this winning run I easily farmed 100 piety at level 1. Then converted to JJ, which is fine — instant Petition, safe converting food for two Boosts, nice deal. Then I got GG — more piety for food and Humility, one of three best and neccessary boons. I forgot about Humility in one of the previous runs, and lost at 9 floor. Dracul soon — precious resists, you need them as soon as possible. I'm feeling naked if my resists are below 50%... That's why even this perfect (not really, you see that late Dodge? And I had 0 piety when converted to TT, because spent all piety on Tithes in case I won't met Dracul lately) gods sequence does NOT guarantees win — Patches HAS TO give you at least 3 times resists (12%), not only for boss fight, but how about damn Warlocks, Goblins, all of them.
One stressful moment — this late Illusion, when I ran out of popcorn and decided to clear up curses killing last floor monsters... And this Warlock with 191 damage vs my 177 hp, ha-ha, very funny. So I had to convert more stuff just to fireball him.
And Tikki Tooki for Horatio fight. Hilarious.
Next stop: Rat, Gorgon, may be Monk, and then — Triple Quests (oh, no!).
After that there is no challenge (besides class challenges) in game, and I'll post tons of easy runs! Can't wait.

Easy Monk. They got to fix this.

^ Unless you're talking about some bug I'm not familliar with, but rather the poison strike monk, they did fix it. Old TT poison used to be full poison strike +10 gold for 50 piety. Used to be fewer penalties on monks damage, too, and he had 50% res both from square 1.

[eastless]

I guess Lujo always taking all boons from Tikki Tooki, that's why he is not surprised.

[devilchn]

I have read about this trick several times and I get the basics, but I can't replicate it without first getting punished by Tikki in order to gain Weakening (at least on VGT where there are no Nagas). Is that what people do to get to 0 attack? You clearly did not use JJ's random punishments, and neither the Golden Statue. Even with every Tikki boon (+ optionally every JJ boon) + 100 piety, I can't imagine to win a run where every enemy has first strike and weaking from the start. Somebody enlighten me please!

[~'(^ + ^)'~]

Actually, I get your point, and no I didn't use this strategy so probably Eastless can give you a better answer.

The only single time I did this was when I tried to use this cheat for GoatPerson in Naga City - that was really a scum fest, can you imagine I had to roll for L1 Naga, later be able to get enough piety (possibly from sparkles or use of Wonafyt), be careful not to take any Attack boosters, hope to find a shop that sells something with negative attack bonus (Bloody Sigil, Mage Plate). I only managed it once, and got quite close to winning before I ran out of steam (http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.c ... 767E7F35B/).

Oh, I remember now, I think TT's curse (first strike + Weakening) is only for the current level, so you won't suffer from it in lower levels (just like the Cowardly trait from prepping Taurog). But I may be wrong, can't remember.

[eastless]

@~'(^ + ^)'~
Ha-ha, if it be so, Goat in TT for H fight won't be so funny. Punishments affects all monsters on all floors. Not only TT's but Mystera's and Taurog's resists too. It was funny one time, desecrated Mystera to get Chaos Avatar, like, hey, it cancels her punishment, and then see all those resists everywhere, because CA does not affects all floors.

@devilchn

I pointed the key things for you.
By the way, it's really hard to do Punchbag with Gorgon in VGT. She can't tank hit from Illusion on L2 like Monk, so only Golden Statue works. Then, you need only Taurog to convert out from TT, because she suffers a lot without resists and damage even with poison and learning, and she wants to convert as much and as soon as possible, and Taurog offers a lot of piety for glyphs converting. JJ could be cool too I guess, continue farming infinite piety and get all his boons, like Half-Dragon , and you can clear Statue's afflictions without potions also. But I did not come across such combination. So, you need one of two variations of the first floor: Statue + Taurog or Statue + JJ. I got first last time I did this, it took like 12-15k gold for scumming... But I'd better do this instead of playing Gorgon 'fair'. I'm always playing her with Codex, except VGT and Library, where bosses has massive magic resists and fireballing is impossible. Here comes to the rescue sweet Punchbag.
