Right, okay, after the embarrassing splat with the goat, I decided to go a bit more careful with today's run (15/05 - Elf Monk on Rock Garden). Well, no, actually, that's a lie, I took the codex in, so not careful at all. At the time I finished this run I was first at 12m44s, but that's not going to last long, I should have been able to do it much easier, even though I figured codex would have synergy with monk, it's really bad against wraiths, and I couldn't find a lot of things aside from goos that I could level from. I totally forgot how the Guardians worked, I was expecting the Magma Mines boss gimmick, and ended up expending all my blackspace by the time I killed one of the bosses, killed the other using most of my resources, then realised I was up against SMM with no resources. Once he was at 2-300 hp I was out of resources, had a little bit of exploration stuck behind high level enemies and plants, so I had to mana burn myself to go into the last of blackspace, where I found a pot of health in a shop. Felt pretty close though, ended up having to take consensus and try for a last chance before I realised I could safely regen a bit.
