Funny thing is that I went in fully expecting to use their racial bonus, and didn't realize I was missing hoarder in its badge progression. As SMM neared low health, I realized that I had the conditions for as many of the badges as I did and scrambled to find a way to deal with the remaining 100 health, which involved desecrating Mystera for piety for one last greenblood cast and entanglement for the (barely) finishing blow. Nearly had to either drink a potion or convert stuff for a levelup.

But yeah, goblins are the kings of unintentional hoarder.

My best attempt so far (only tried like 5 times, some of which ended very early, in fact I never got beyond the 3rd floor except for this), still a failure though:

Floor 9 was Binlor level with Dragon Elite. I had very little popcorn left (all undead), I had no way to cure poison, also ran out of bloodpools, blackspace (there is still some left in Floor 9 itself but I was poisoned), potions, gold for shop refills.

I need to get lucky and score some good items or glyphs to even have a decent chance to beat this. I am not too sure about Halpmeh - seems good but require you to have Soul Orb (otherwise the manaburn-inflicting enemies will be a pain). Seems Burndayraz is better for finishers and Pisorf is better for "spreading damage" or for taking care of troublesome enemies with indirect attacks. Generally, I find that I need to keep both Pisorf and Burndayraz (Tinker won with only Halpmeh, that seems like a little "tough" to me, especially at the start when you need Pisorf for Binlor piety).

As for items, it seems like Dragon Soul is pretty good but you need to be lucky (still beats not having it). Feels like it is better than Platemail. Platemail needs to go along with Vampiric Blade and also Halpmeh to really make it shine (I feel).

Just sharing my successful attempt for Triple Quest 3 (got inspired after watching eastless' video):

My experience:

1. I really hate the scumming part for Part 1. Even took Extra Glyphs prep and just couldn't get the "best possible combo" of Weytwut, Pisorf and Dragon Soul. In the end, I had to settle for just Pisorf and Dragon Soul.

2. Something weird going on or probably I wasn't paying attention in Part 2. Two times I used Schadenfreude potions when fighting the bosses in Part 2, and both times seems that I didn't recover any mana at all. Not sure if it was because the bosses had manaburn (is it even possible?) or because my health was low (had DP), and the boss only did very little damage to me when I hit him (1?).

3. Also in Part 2, I had some close moments. Once I didn't pay attention and got a DP knocked off when fireballing the Phys. Immune boss - he must have had retaliate fireball and 100% deathgaze (and I wasn't at full health). Another time, I was killing a low level mob and the wall closed me in. Had to blow off all my mana potions, and also leveling up to beat the L3 or L4 Changeling that was blocking my way after the wall sealed me in. Those could have been used for the final boss but luckily I just barely scraped through (got myself out out of the trap and managed to kill the boss after buying a Crystal Ball).

4. In Part 3, the Platemail I brought over from Part 2 was super useful (started on the floor, I only picked it up when starting on the mini-bosses). Was quite close in the sense that many times I thought I wouldn't have enough resources to kill the 5 mini-bosses.

Warmonger and Berserker, with 42 bloodpools and 7 black space left over after Horatio had died. And a personal best time too!




I could have converted the Bear Mace and Viper Ward before starting on Horatio for additional damage. I opted for Orc rather than Human because the initial leveling was quite insane with insta converting all the glyphs even though humans have quite a bit more endgame damage.
