Bonus Desktop Dungeons: Easy Warlord Gold

Maybe not SUPER easy, but man oh man did I feel refreshed after this. Super thanks to Lakat for the tips below. Three tips to adhere to: 1. Use Earthmother's entanglements for an extra hit to take down two, three, four and even five level higher mobs depending on level. 2. Take advantage of IMAWAL to make the bonus exp from (1) 50% better. 3. Save darkness for both regen fighting Super Bleat Man and for healing up between boss fights without wasting a level up just to heal yourself. You will want to find ENDISWAL as soon as you can, to get by enemies, make alternate routes and the physical resist can be yet another hit. Finding Earthmother early is also important, but it can wait until you're level 2 since you want to IMAWAL the goats that spawn or plants that aren't in the way. Items that REALLY help here are the Soul Orb (makes Wraith fighting easier and less consequential), Keg of Mana (3 Mana potions, I'm sure you'll find some use for it) and the Blue Bead (5 gold, might grant you another CYDSTEPP during a tough fight if you're about to level up catapult. There are other useful items too, but don't pretend the Balanced Dagger will be your salvation like I did. Sometimes this challenge isn't kind to you on helping you find things early enough, don't be too afraid to restart, but you'll be surprised how far you can go if you push on. Two-level-highers (level 3 mobs) seem impossible at level 1, but it's definitely within your grasp to take on a level 7 or even 8 when you're just a level 4. In the early game (the trickiest part for me) you may want to buy one or two vine forms to make higher level kills more possible, but piety is tight at that point, so it's really your call.
