This is my latest attempt at reaching whatever's at the bottom. I've learned from my previous mistakes and I believe I've got a better character this time. I even brought two akhs, a blessed one and a regular one (both lost in this same level). I'm still running out of food and health potions very quickly in the last levels. The bosses are really taxing in terms of health potions, and exploring takes a lot of time, which means I'm using many food items. Here are my items and skills:
Well, with my strat I barely have to use health potions, and when I do is usually in the early game. The magic attacks are easy to avoid, just kite the enemies to melee reach. If the enemy is an evil eye I just find a place to be safe while it fires. I don't need to avoid to take physical hits, because I can just tank. And I love when I have reached a point I can just don't care about the enemies (but magical) and can just walk... And with thorns, now you can even carry no weapon, they'll just die.
Thorns isn't a viable strat since you have a very low chance of actually getting it. This strat can work with huntress since the bow upgrades automatically, but upgrading your armor past 7+ is generally a waste. The fact that you have all those health pots left over is kinda evidence of that.
So now saving health potions is bad?
