Wow, naga purists on magma mines, only 2 tries (also got feeling parched, ding max, and cheeky). Mostly hit and run high level meat men. Saw GG, but he isn't very kind to continued poison use. Found goat dungeon. Found drac, which is pretty nice since I can stack bloodshield with my current resists. Found a vamperic blade which helps get me piety and I can use lower level (mostly meat men) as punching bags for extra health. Also picked up sanguineX2 (although I didn't really use it) and drain once (can't afford to lose any more max resists). After killing the two mini bosses I picked up a battlemaster's ring I also didn't end up using any bloodsweels.
BTW, is it me or does death gaze not actually work on non-bosses. It seems like I can strike first, but not outright kill them when they are low enough while the boss seemed to go down early. I though it should have worked the other way.
