Getting silver/gold on Vicious - community-driven

[The Tapir]

So recently I've noticed that doing runs in hard dungeons in my quest for completion has been quite unfulfilling. Whether it be that the dungeon is too easy, too hard, or just a straight-up drag, my playtime has been dwindling. Despite this, the thing I've noticed that irks me is the fact that exactly zero of the vicious dungeons have any type of border around them - silver, gold, or (far from this one) rainbow.

However! I have noticed a trend: when I complete a dungeon using a class/race combo or getting a badge recommended by a friend, the feeling of completion is much more satisfying. So, in order to rectify this problem (and get to the point of this topic), I will be asking you all for either a race/class combo or a badge to get in a vicious dungeon of your choosing. I will then give it my best and report back after a maximum of 10 tries with either success or defeat.

Alright, then; let's see what you've got!

Take a GG Goblin Spellcaster, any, but Wizard is fine, and do Dragon Isles if you haven't. Badge ought to be parched.

Alternatively, take a Halfling Berserker into wherever you haven't allready done a Berserker, Namtar's Lair should be ok, and see if you can do it - don't do parched, warmonger or miser, any other one is fine.

If you'd like suggestions, I strongly recommend giving us a rundown of the badges and classes you already have for each dungeon! You can even keep the list updated as you complete the challenges

My challenge: Take on the Demonic Library as a Transmuter. If you're up to it, use the Interior Decorator strategy I came up with, detailed in this topic:

I was almost able to beat the Vicious Token version of Demonic Library on my first attempt with that strategy, so the regular version is definitely doable. If you're good with the Transmuter, this should be a piece of cake. If you're not, then this is a great way of learning to play the class!

Try DL with a Gorgon of EM, and grab Parched.

Go into Naga City, and play through it with a Gnome Sorcerer of Mystera. For the badge, I recommend Specialist, so consider this before starting the boss fight, as the boss has 50% MR (you either need to reduce it via i.e. Weakening, or switch to Melee).

Well, Lujo's halflingzerker proved to be a very difficult challenge, so I took up Tinker's challenge instead of the Gnome Sorceror in Naga city. Ended up not getting specialist after not being able to leave any popcorn left for triggering the schadenfreude I had left, which would have granted me specialist. No CB, but fire heart proved very helpful against the bosses before Kinissch. Time to update the list.
