Is there a trick to Bloodmage Gold? Because I am once again completely stumped. Am I supposed to use PISORF? That might work, if the dungeon was conducive to repeated knockbacks...
(Also, I'm beginning to think that the Bloodmage should be allowed to drink bloodpools even when he's at full health, if he's not at full mana. It's kind of silly to be in a situation where you've run out of MP, yet there are a couple dozen bloodpools that you can't drink because you're at full health and the boss will 1-shot you so you have no way of reducing your HP.)
If Paladin Gold doesn't guarantee BICEPS, it should - that, or the Martyr Wraps (Piercing Wand might work, too, but I never got the chance to try it). I imagine it's theoretically possible to win just with EM's corrosion boon, but it would probably require both near-perfect play and a ton of luck. (Maybe include one or more of the above items as a drop from a sub-boss? Or put the Martyr Wraps in Paladin Silver and let him keep them for the gold challenge...)
IMO Priest Gold is too gimmicky, and too easy once you figure out the gimmick, compared with the other gold challenges.
