Thanks for the tip. After burning through a few more times, I used the last SoU to fix it. All was great again but I lost the game due to a stupid error due to lack of attention while targeted by Scorpios and Eyes... Could have used the armor's Challenge, or a full waterskin, but I did not realize I was on low health!

Damn, I did not think about the SoE! I made 2 stones instead. Blazing without Brimstone is a PITA

 

So far I have not managed to get Monk through Demon halls with the fourth challenge.

I am getting closer with a highly upgraded Greatshield which blocks 0-26 damage combined with a cloth of anti-magic.

On one hand the Greatshield feels like cheating on the challenge, on the other I could have gone "Champion" instead of Monk and any secondary weapon would be overkill.

But I want to be the monk with huge shield.

I used one SoU to get enchantments and got the one I did not want on the shield: blazing.

Should have stayed with the Camouflage jacket and the Blooming enchantment but is late to retract.

On arrival to Demon halls I have spent already 3 healings and wondering why are succubus hitting so hard?

Found a Stone Scale Armor at level 9, just what I wanted to try...

A Mail armor of Entanglement has worked quite well around FIMO, dropping it after fighting Tengu to put Evasion + Stone to the test...

Running with 4 challenges the lack of proper armor makes things real tough from level 16 onwards.

Now I am thinking, perhaps investing on Evasion would compensate... Then what about the glyph of Stone?

Any other tips to survive with poor armor?

 
 

Bought a plate after defeating the dwarf king. Damn it, I should not have transformed the armor before reforging!

Finally on the last corner...

 

In recent runs, I am not finding 40 dark gold ore without a LOT of digging around the crystal caves. Is it intended?

 

Finally I find a tier-5 weapon in yesterday's daily. Given by the altar near the Troll. Very generous +3 with an interesting Dazzling curse. After making it +10, and applying an enchantment stone found long above, it got lucky! I might be saved for this run 🙂

 

For the nth time I got stuck on a (dead) crab web while heading for a door, when a diagonal move would have avoided it. At least the movement should stop before stepping on visible nasty things.
