Oh man, this was nasty.
It started off great. I found EM and Pactmaker early, so I was able to get an early start on my resists/hp/dr. I also found the potions subdungeon, as well as a box of health potions in a shop, giving me a total of 12 health potions.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find platemail or tower shield like I was hoping, so my resists built up slower than I would've liked. To beat the first demon, I had to buy the vampiric blade, which means I had to drop my EM piety farm and switch to Mystera. The rest of the demons went down easily, but I spent all my mana potions and 2 schadenfreudes in the process. I used the battlemage ring temporarily to handle the final demon (physical resist/weakening).
I had 11 health potions going downstairs, and I brought in piercing wand initially to work down the Avatar. As always, a strong ??? spawned on the staircase, so I had to spend some resources to get it out of the way, and knocking another ??? behind the Avatar. I was spending a health potion every two hits on the avatar, until I hit his berserk and it went to one per hit. I finally ran out of juice exactly two hits short of victory.
I had 11 piety left with Mystera with Binlor, EM, and GG on the board. I made the decision to go GG and heal what I could. Unfortunately, that means I had to throw away my 51% resists and take 5 corrosion. My two heals from conversion were only enough for one hit. I had to convert my APHEELSIK, BURNDAYRAZ, vampiric blade, and witchalok to get my final heal, thankfully preventing me from needing to desecrate Mystera, and allowing me this sweet, incredibly close kill shot.
