In Progress

0. Demonic library, blah blah intro stuff. Really easy with berserker. Use god and class for defines, items and race for offense.

1. Preps, all damage based

2. Game plan: Convert every glyph, drink every mana potion, buy every taurog item.

I see a glyph but I will wait until I'm worshipping Taurog to convert it, then I'll get 10 piety.

5. Pretty nice at level 1.

6. I can kill that level 2 Warlock, so I do.

7. Another glyph, convert it.

9. I have enough piety to get Taurog's Helm. A really great item since the resist stacks with Berserkers natural resist.

10. Pop into Smuggler's Den to get the boosters

Joist VHoS 10.png

12. Drink my Reflex and Strength potions and take out the level 4 Warlock.

13. Another glyph, convert it.
