-Because the Demon Lords have various traits, most strategies will find at least some of them more difficult to defeat.

 In terms of races, because of the need to spike potentially multiple bosses, the potion races generally fare well. Orc does well because of the decent early-game damage boost that helps against the non-trivial monsters occupying the map.

 Before engaging The Avatar in the bossfight, it can be beneficial to move him right next to the stairs using teleportation magic or PISORF. Otherwise the minions that spawn when he is struck will clog the whole map, making the stairs back to the surface inaccessible. Having him right next to the stairs leaves access to the resources (altars, shops, monsters, blood pools) within the library itself.
 This alone makes Binlor a good diety to worship. Having knockback or PISORF will ensure you to move the Avatar next to the stairs, and positioning one ??? behind him will allow additional knockback damage. Binlor also poses a method for eroding the Avatar's 25% physical resistances.

 Because each dying Demon Lord will give a layer of Death Protection to one of the remaining Demon Lords, leaving the most difficult lords for last might prove to be counter-productive. It is generally a good idea to start with one or two easier demon lord, but then take on the most difficult one after them, timing level-ups and using up some of the potions / other resources to defeat him.
 It's a good start to kill a boss around L5-6. Take care of your exp bar and use level catapults properly. Generally, caster starting can spike Perivolcan Pa (top right corner) with level catapults and mana potions. The exp bonus is sizable, and it helps you level very fast.

 Defeating any Demonlord will give one layer of Death Protection to another one (chosen randomly). Defeating all five Demon Lords will remove all unbreakable walls from the map, thus unlocking the central entrance to the circular arena where the Avatar resides.
