Had another try today. Waltzed through all the levels with a classic build of ice arrows, gold assassin's dagger and 2 sinew slicers. Then died on the final boss again.
In the first part I could just freeze him and critical him with the dagger. Then used the sinew slicers to get through the summons. Tried to repeat the pattern but the fucker wouldn't freeze anymore. Died as usual, trying to find a moment to heal.
Still the best I've done so far. Give it another week and maybe I'll be ready for another shot.
Spent must of today playing this - dying repeatedly whilst trying to get the

floor rune from The Ossuary.
Had about 6 very short games and was about to give up when I hit a full hour, hit the rune and up to the Clock Boss for the first time who then owned me throughly.
Got some cracking weapons too - love the Impaler and I had a great Wolf Trap V (coats everything in oil) and Double Bowmatic thing that had flaming shots and produced worms from kills. Lots of damage. 2050dp Shotty as well.
Managed to get to the final boss with a fannyman glasss cannon runaway turret build on 1 cell mode, but alas died because I only had one flask thanks to some ABSOLUTE FUCKERY in HPC.

Good old Switch save scumming If you quit to dash and instantly exit the game it boots you back to start of level. Bringing up dash pauses the game when you otherwise couldn't.
Also just had Legendary Hayabusa Gauntlets. Best weapon.
Doing some intermittent fasting so sometimes no lunch. I should just play during a lunch hour at work! Find a dark corner somewhere away from desk and phone and manager.
