There is really no excuse not to go crazy on XP today. At first, I was undecided whether to take Binlor (helps tons with Boss and have great synergies with Gorgon) or EM, but I thought what the hell, I wanted to go for max XP, so I went with EM. Guess what, I saw Imawal just next to the entrance, and that means I could convert to EM later. Explored a bit south, and why there is both Binlor and Pisorf, great! So, I get to worship Binlor without having those precious walls being reduced in numbers,

Prepped both Pendant of Health and Troll Heart, the difference from having those + the Crystal Ball is So, I spammed Binlor's boons to build up MR, converted to EM at level 7 to grab 4 shots of Vine Form and 3 shots of Green Blood. Only picked up Imawal then, the 4 DR allows doing the sub puzzle without losing health. Converting to EM was also to populate the area with plants that I can use for Imawal later. Took Consensus from PM to convert back to Binlor, bought Whupaz, Vampiric Blade, slaughtered boss at level 8 (I accidentally dinged to 8 due to having taken Alchemist Pact and I forgot I was close to leveling up, needed to drink a Health potion to put in 1 last hit and just dinged).
Currently top for XP and Piety (was able to drink all potions with Alchemist Pact bonus, but I definitely did not use Imawal for all kills, should be around 12 or a bit more of mobs not killed with Imawal bonus. And also missed out on Slow bonus especially while I was with Binlor, did not use WeytWut or Wonafyt for finishers since I only killed higher levels at the start and WeytWut was too expensive, needed to conserve mana for Imawal at the end after killing boss).
More Spoilers for shop positions, thought it might be useful because the shop pool is pretty good and those going for top scores might like to have a bit more information:
