I think I'm just going to wait until EB Curious is patched, because I don't feel like scumming for such a precise build anymore.

This was a very very close run. Went in purist. Meaty Madness is surprisingly difficult, especially because I didn't do a scouting run. I was not expecting how far the gimmick went here - I was expecting SMM to get Poison/Corrosion, so I took a Magician to wipe his debuffs accordingly - but wasn't expecting Weakening or Riposte to be in the debuffs. This led to a very close run where I went Dracul -> GG, and it took almost everything I had to take down SMM.
Very fun run!

hit prediction is wrong on a assassin vs profaned flesh. it will not show the damage you will take from the corrupting aura. this can also cause you to die even if the combat prediction is "win". don't know if this has been mentioned before
riposte and corrupting aura read the same way but corrupting aura will hurt and riposte will not so ye

Got Errand Boy pt.3 down Was quite easy once I knew to tackle the first boss early... the hardest part was not to get surrounded by my goat statues and plants

The other quest series didnt open yet, do I need to have the rat monarch? Then I have to unlock that first...

Yep, Rat Monarch is actually the 1st part of the three part quest. Enjoy your new bazaar rewards in the meantime, especially since the Membership badge is going to get a meaningful CP nerf in the patch.

Yeah, I noticed Mystery Meat doesn't decay, nice touch. I am kind of disappointed that you don't die if you kill too many enemies, though, mainly because I wanted to see my character turn into a Meat Man. Still, the name changes of the monsters is pretty funny and really evokes how nasty the Slime Pit actually is if you really think about it.

Got it, now the next quest series unlocked Rat Monarch with Hoarder seems bad... looking forward to it

[shade_of_ox]

It's not as bad as it seems. At first I thought it would be really difficult, but the Rat also gains 1 corrosive strike per level without conversions, so it's not that hard.

Saw this one coming from a mile away, and cleared it first try. H is difficult with no resist stacking, but lifesteal, Platemail, and fast resist stripping made a quick win. Interesting take on HGT, since you're not really given resources to power up as much as you would in a full VGT run, making things surprisingly difficult.

Ok got part 1, was half bad... now Phantom Citadel again These quests are really fun
