I get past the 4th area, kind of easily, but the 5th and the final boss is cancer. Guides recommend getting a +6 plate armor. How the fuck do I get through the game if I don’t find it. What if I find it in the second or third area? There are not nearly enough scrolls of upgrade to get that high.
What am I supposed to do? I am missing something but I don’t know what.
I just put all upgrades on my staff. Rely on finding a bunch of good wands, long range melee weapon and artifacts. Doing a lot of alchemy to get scrolls of divination, scroll of metamorphosis and potion of mastery. Divination only to not waste any of the latter. I use blacksmith on the highest tier armor I can find and star blandfruits to reach the last level.
That light wand is nice for the last area and dark levels. I always try to stand in doors when I fight the eye enemies and the charm enemy can still be hit by wands.
I never made it to the surface, but beating the last boss works.
