Just beat Tikki 3. It was tricky, because the items leave you with a lot of things you can do. Still, not too hard.

In my opinion, the description of the dodge potion in Tikki 2 is cryptic and misleading.
It says it gives you 100% dodge, but kicks in after a while. I guess this is supposed to explain how the potion works, but it really doesn't. It feels more random than anything else this way, although it's simple: get hit once, get dodge afterwards.
Took me several tries to figure this out, although I knew that the normal version of the potion resets the chance every time you get hit.
Without being on the forum, I wouldn't know why I had to be hit once before the effect kicks in. I wouldn't know if it depends on the actions I made, the damage I took, etc. I'd guess it's something random I can't plan around with, although in the real game, you can.
It's nice to figure things out yourself, but I feel that there is just not enough feedback for the player to understand what's actually affecting the thing. That there is no visual clue about when the chance is being resetted in the normal game doesn't help you figure things out either. It's basically trial and error, and that is certainly no fun at all. I'd really appreciate if this was elaborated further - it's the tutorial after all.

No, I did. It's a bug. It takes your piety from 2 to 0 without punishment I'm pretty sure.

Here's a hint: You don't buy The Badge of Courge. You take 2 boons. You reach one conversion level.

Here's the Solution:
1. Buy The Sigil, The Potion, and The Dagger.
2. Use your money on Tribute to buy Tiki's Edge.
3. Kill 3 meat men.
4. Clean up your last two meat men for piety and buy Reflexes (or whatever the potion boon is called).
5. Reveal and attack the boss. Reveal two tiles, quaff reflex and quicksilver, convert Tiki's Charm, the dagger, and the sigil.
6. Attack, dodge, and first strike.

I'm pretty sure you have to take one more Tribute using the money from the boons, but I'm not sure.
