Still no Atamathon, but I did beat the Room of Death for the first time.
I'd like to reiterate what I said in my previous win--the Far East is really, really boring. The dungeons are huge, the enemies are numerous, and the fights are uninteresting. The game needs less "Boss randomly found on the final floor" and more "Boss floors". And, as it turns out, most of the boss floor-style encounters are in the West: The Mouth, Ben, Bill, Brotoq, Assassin Lord, Melinda Demon, Wierdling Beast, Kyless, Tannen, and the list continues, even bosses like the Grand Corrupter have a boss floor vibe to them.
In the East: Fyrk, the final bosses, and Slasul, I think? There's nothing that really breaks you out of just "killing lots of guys" in the East. And that's what you do, just kill lots and lots of guys, over and over again, ad nauseam.
In other news, Unnatural Body is still bad, and, as it turns out, Creeping Darkness is garbage. I started pumping points into it late game to see if it has some viability--it doesn't. Also, Dark Vision doesn't seem to work? I couldn't see through my darkness to any great extent, so...
The Force of Will tree is amazing. While shadows were the mid-game winners, Blast and Unseen Force carried me through late.
Cat Points when into Shadows, Force of Will, Fungus, and Fungus again. Kept Bloomsoul equipped the entire game for Fungus.
Prodigies were Mental Tyranny (of course), and Spine of the World. I didn't really know what to get for the my second, but Spine seemed to work well enough.
The only reason I was Thalore was to force Sludgenest.
