Intro

Tired of trying for hours on end to beat this challenge, feeling like you want to complete it and be done with it, well if that's the case, this is the perfect guide for you! If you do NOT want to spoil yourself and want to beat the challenge by yourself, then click away from this guide and try the struggle, I myself struggled a lot with this one.

Getting Started

First thing is, you'll need to have unlocked the Death Aura Weapon.

This weapon will allow you to win the challenge with ease.
I have tried with multiple other weapons, but this one seems to be the best. Why is it the best you ask? Its simple, its high attack speed gives a great knock-back effect that helps keep enemies away from you, also the main issue is the singular fast red bats that are faster than you, they get one shorted and you don't have to worry about them anymore.

Gameplay

Once you load in, you need to get the Death Aura since you only get one weapon, you'll probably need to restart a few runs before you get it, from there you just need to do two simple things, stack Damage.

Get around 20-30 Sharpening Stone and then the rest pump into Forged Iron.

Do NOT get any other cards, you only want damage. Even if you don't get them on your level up, if you re-roll, you'll get it for sure.

Try to aim for the Chests, and Question Marks as much as possible for the path, the more fights you can avoid, the better for you. Even if you do not beat it on your first try, just re-try it again. I managed to beat it on my first try with this strategy and I didn't get the best map roll.

When going into a fight try to find and kill the Elite as fast as possible, and when they're dead, just finish the rest of them, try going towards creates, for the chance of food dropping so you can heal up.

Boss Fight

The Boss fight is pretty simple, just focus on him as much as possible, and when he gets to the phase where he teleports constantly and shoots projectiles, just run and dodge, until the phase is over.

Conclusion

This challenge was difficult at first, but after you get to know what weapon you need to use, its pretty easy, This challenge gives you a pretty powerful buff that allows you to make tainted cards power 150% stronger.

Cost for upgrades:
Lvl1 = 50
Lvl2 = 100
Lvl3 = 150
Lvl4 = 300
Lvl5 = 500
Lvl6 = 1000
Lvl7 = 1500
Lvl8 = 3000
Lvl9 = 5000
Lvl10 = 10000

Thank you for your time and I really hope this guide helped you get that achivement.

Just beat this with the bow. I didn't know this was supposed to be hard.

The problem I find is death aura just cant kill the swarm fast enough to keep you alive even without the rank 4 superpower and you dont have enough energy to keep it up.

The best thing I found is summoner with red skull you get a horde of skeletons which do good damage and can tank. Plus the number of them rarely if ever drops from the max because they spawn on kill.

So, what magic trick did you use to give death aura a knock back? Cheat Engine maybe?

Maybe the damage formula changed but taking forged iron over sharpening stone seems worse each time I tried it, I tried 20 sharpening stone and 30+ forged iron and it was less damage than taking all sharpening stone , I tried 30 sharpening stone which were giving .14 to .15 damage per upgrade and then started taking Forged iron which were adding .10 and vary rarely .11 damage.

Both on the stat page it is lower damage and the damage numbers in battle , 18-19 damage with forged iron vs 21-22 with only taking sharpening stone.

This was with no active talent death aura levels and just a level 1 sun stone passive , perhaps things are different because of that ?

For anyone trying to do this challenge early on I would say go 3 or 4 void for pick up range like dansome suggested and put everything else in sharpening stone. The void pays for itself in exp you would have missed trying to move around with a tiny pick up radius.

True Snuffhead's Favourite, on hard mode seems... hard

Tried with deathaura and it takes 2 ticks to even kill a goblin or bat and its just way too hard to stay safe with no dash.

Kunai worked for me. I played as the Shopkeeper and got it to level 8, not sure how viable it is without playing as the shopkeeper.

I tried Swordrang first, but it has poorer coverage to deal with those bats, or maybe I just had a bad run, but Kunai did it on the first attempt.

katana or kunai or also work nicely for this run.
