The “guy” from wand of living earth?

Oh, I actually didn’t know that enemies don’t drop loot when you are ascending… I ascended only a few times.

Just speculating, but maybe a gnoll shaman dropped it when you killed him without noticing (“you hear something die in a distance” in chat).

One more thing to consider are “on eat” effects… In some situations I’d rather have 3x8 turns of recharging and a bit of alchemical energy in place of healing (as a mage)

Maybe it takes a turn to update the floor, so it’s actually aware of itself being water?

Got to +15, but had them equipped all the time. I used only reforge with the blacksmith, on my armor and ring. Def a fun challenge!(But the ascent was quite tedious…)

Blast wave doesn’t work on phantom piranha, as far as I know. They just teleport the moment you hit them. Chains should work though…

Absolute madlad… You have my respect

I’m here to report it’s not that bad. Maybe I just got lucky, but I managed to beat the game second try with this challenge. (Just because the first time I got a wand of transfusion on floor two and quit :D). Warden with camouflage. Finished with 14 healing pots. I did use reforge for rings and armor though, it does not say “upgrade”, when you do it 🫣 (and I forgot). But I think it would be very much doable without it. The barkskin and infinite invisibility are an unbelievable combo.

Nice idea nonetheless, after finally beating six challenges a week ago, it was nice not to have them active 😆.
