Ok, I got 2 wins now, did it with orc thief.
Again, GG, TT and Pactmaker on top, no items of note, no halpmeh, no cydstepp, no collar, no kegs, no gauntlets, no soul orb... I used pactmaker to swap from GG post enlightment to TT, ate up popcorn, got poison and dodge, and ended up at 40 piety and 9 gold -.-' Got lucky with 3 patches resist hits, fiddled with gods down bottom (killed 2 undead bosses while doing Drac, and I even used up the desecration indulgence from smashing EM). Had to smash stuff up with penalties to change to something worthwhile. As I had only fireball i smashed up Mysteria, oddly. Poison orb turned out worthwhile, and I had an inventory full of junk (hero's helm, 20% whurlgarble, mana bead, tower shield (or something) that i didn't have to convert. (And that shopping spree cost me a lot of grief, as i had to struggle to get out of Tiki, and it could've been preventedd by not buying the damn mana bead).
Oh, and I had to convert the gloves of midas before switching to TT for the popcorn -.-'
Preps: Compression, Dragonshield, Patches, Altar scouting, Fireball magnet, 50 g, Damage badge, Quest Items, STR, Schaden and Whoopaz. Used Whoopaz on bleaty (he gave me a lot of trouble as i was corroded from EM and lucked out on getting him in the 2nd batch, and managing lvl 10 by the time i fought him).
Anyways, a sloppy run, but the Thief is, as we all know, a cheatcode, not a class, so yeah...
Also, I'm starting to suspect that you could do a Fighter run if you get GG and Tiki on top, possibly even easier than a Thief run, if you know your way around a fighter and both of those two jokers. Although you would need Pactmaker or some miracle to farm up 50 GG piety post-enlightment.
I almost got pwned by Shifty Brickwork!
