There really isn't any dungeon that requires scumming, outside of the Witch's last couple of challenges or trying to beat a vicious dungeon without preparations, but it does make things go a lot easier. Thankfully the Scout Altar preparation makes scumming for deities fairly easy, and deities are generally the most helpful thing to scum for (unless you really need CYDSTEPP). For me, the most important thing is just having a good sense early on for when a run is highly likely to fail, at which point I'd rather not waste my time struggling.

Look at your early game. As a level 1 sorcerer you should be able to take level 3 that don't kill you. Take a tri-sword if you're playing as a halfling. Use gods that elongate your game. Heck, I bet you can beat that using just Taurog and unstoppable furies with a tri-sword. And if you get an awful god (SMM, Goo, Wraith, or Bleaty) just try again.

But Bloodmage is fairly easy. Or maybe this is just me.

The days when the tri-sword wasn't potion based. Any of these are easy with a Taurog Tri-Sword combo.

Great news! Good job!!!!!
