First of all, welcome to the forum and congratulation for rainbowing all Normal and Hard dungeons,
the hardest part is still ahead of you but you certainly did the longest part already.
I did rainbow VGT and Naga City but none of the normal and hards, and the road ahead seems very long...
choongmyoung is too modest to suggest this, but you will learn a lot by watching theses, I don't think I could have done it without them :
VGT Goatperson:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkrcUzWt52cI also wrote a generic guide on VGT there, it might help too.
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3538&start=160VGT Goatperson took me some time, but mostly because it was my 5th or 6th VGT run, once you learn the dungeon by heart it is much easier to run it. My most frustrating run was actually Purist Rogue, I didn't expect it to be that hard...
Rat Monarch is pretty bad too, and is the one requiring the most expensive scumming.
All other runs are 'easy' in comparison once you know the dungeon perfectly and give your best.
My first serious VGT Goatperson attempt was screwed by TT who was my last god against Horatio, any other god would have do (maybe not GG, because of bloodpools).
Despite his downsides, the GoatPerson has 2 big advantages: easy refills spikes and free god switching.
for VGT:
GG and JJ are awesome for piety farming,
- GG boons are not super useful, aside from removing poison/mana-burn, and of course Humility which is a must,
- JJ boons are really good, but you want to take Petition first...
- Taurog gives you cheap powerful boons (+15% resist) and good piety,
- MA is meh (just get +1 mana for 5),
- EM is meh and dangerous
- When you get Binlor, don't forget about the free 30 piety with the Wall Crunchers
- Dracul is a must have, but risky with EM and GG, get the resists first, and then Sanguine
- PM is good with Body Pact or Warrior Pact, Consensus can help too
- TT is good to get easy piety, but he's a run-killer if you have it when you reach Horatio, I would advise to take dodging only, learning is not that useful there
for Naga City, choongmyoung's strategy works well, I would only recommend to unlock MA once you reach the Arena.
If you're lucky and find Weytwut or Apheelsick early, you can farm lots of piety with JJ on the main floor, enough to get petition, +6 mana, +40 health and a big piety bag when you enter the arena. Try to kill all the enemie, Burndayraz is key here.
By unlocking Mystera, you will convert to her on next level up, Mystic Balance will help a lot especially with the 20 mana pool that you'll get. And of course, get Spirit Pact from PM. With the amount of fireball that you will spend, you should get enough piety to fuel it. And don't take the Flames boon, or the final boss will tear you appart!!!!
I did 2 or 3 tries on this strategy before it work. My successful run was lucky, I got the popcorn secret sub and the Crystal Ball. The arena was relatively easy with that.
On a more general notes, I agree with choongmyoung on preps:
Attack boosters and perseverance badge give you +30% attack (permanent Byceps!!!) for one small slot. Think about the items that gives you something like this: only the Dwarven Gloves give you +20%, and they cost 19 gold more than Troll Heart...
Smuggler's den does't help much for a Goatperson, you don't really want to explore more blackspace.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.
