Another early one!

AHA! I got Tikki Tooki as my second god. Definitely not as easy.

Have you tried either Paladin and Wizard? They're obscenely cruel. I failed to get above 20 damage on Ssseth (With one attack OC), but then he still does 90 and has 570 hp.

On Wizard, I managed to take out SMM, but I had zero resources for the Iron Man.

Given that the old Factory was really tough without HALPMEH, and this new one has beta animated armors, it's probably now HALPMEH or bust...

Here's my thoughts on the golds

Rogue Gold: Found it very simple, won first time. That being said CYDSTEPP was visible from spawn and 2 steps later I got Binlor. Then IMAWAL too. Found pactmaker later. Took Might and Knockback from Binlor then saved all my piety for Physical Resist boosts against the boss.

Warrior Gold: Wow this is hard. Best I've done is come within one shot of the boss. Every time a new batch of mobs spawns your run could be over. You get a Goo Blob? Over. Goblin? Over. I can't imagine trying to do it without the glitch Avatar discovered. I've been going Goblin, Conversion, Shield, reflex whupaz schaden. So close! http://i.imgur.com/NVW56.png

Paladin Gold: Seems impossible? I don't know how Avatar got 20 corrosions I've only managed to get 14 or so and even then you just don't make a dent. Maybe we're supposed to grab BYSSEPS and whittle his resists down while building up corrosions?

Wizard Gold: Wow, painful. I ran out of dark tiles about halfway through the level. Absolutely no clue how to handle this one.

I got HALPMEH and I still only beat SMM. It used to be 2 mp for Wizards, so between 3 mp HALPMEH and real AA's, this is way harder than the old one. Funny, I didn't really have trouble with Warrior Gold. Are you saving your glyphs for timed level ps against your high level monsters, and are you bringing the RBS? It's essential. On Ssseth I got 14 corrosions and did 6 damage anyways. This boss would be difficult without his resists (90 damage, 570 hp and weakening is pretty mean), but he has 95% resist all. No fair.

Haha, the "Quakin Arena"

Anyway, I don't know if there's a consistent way to clear that challenge, considering how it's set up that the glyph drops are random.

I really had no trouble, and I didn't use BYCEPS and I brought an RBS, and I didn't have trouble.

I WON THE GOLEM FACTORY! I got Feeling Parched, Unstoppable, and (obviously) Purist. Also, HALPMEH didn't spawn. I found APHEELSIK and Platemail fairly early. That is just about the ultimate anti-meat set up. I proceeded to level 7, using 90% of my tiles, and found LEMISI. I attacked SMM, leveled up, converted Platemail (32 DR!) and used APHEELSIK and LEMISI to crush SMM. I got about 8 hits from one full hp bar. Then I went over and attacked The Iron Man. I converted APHEELSIK and used only LEMISI and BURNDAYRAZ to kill him. My remaining monster was a level 9 AA. For the heck of it I grabbed Refreshment, converted LEMISI, got his damage below 32, and finished him, obtaining Unstoppable.

I won the Golem factory as well! Restarted until I get a wonderful combo of items: Endiswal and pisorf glyphs, and Rock Heart item. Did it with a Gnome Wizard. This means that I can position myself very well to pisorf the bosses into like 15 walls with a full mana bar (pisorf only costs 1 mana with Rock Heart). I killed The Iron Man only on level 5! Then leveled up a bit and applied the same strategy on the Meat man: Pisorf at 1 mana was 24 damage at level 8. 24 damages for 1 mana? AWESOME!
