i think this was mostly due to the Afterlife Gladiator helmet buff - i sort of don't want to hamper silly builds like that too much. instead i'll look into adding an AOE-slam ability or something to give you more fun options so you don't have to rely on just one thing.
Oh yeah that might've been it, even found two of those helmets. Sounds good.
Hadn't really planned on playing it all again, kind of just happened.
Here are the saves, one next to the immortal skelly and one at the end of the game.
