Any advice for the western jungle?

I've been getting stomped as a fighter and would love tips. Any synergies or advice?

The Western Jungle's boss is a nice way to learn some different thigns about resource maganement. You have much less free exploration compared to other dungeons, and the boss' mechanics forces you to use every tile to level up rather to preserve it for other reasons. So, there are few things you need to understand in order to beat Getanadafix.

1. Level up reasonably. Use everything you can to preserve "popcorn" for midfight levelups. Try to go for higher level kills. Try to slow lower level enemies with wonafyt/weitwyt as much as you can, so they give you more experience. Every level-up is worth of two health and mana potions (plus-minus one) while it clears manaburn from flower clearing. And, as obvious, clear all the flowers you can see if youre about to level-up or chug a mana potion (or cleanse all effects by other means).

2. Explore the whole dungeon. If the boss blinks into dark area - he will regenerate, and will do so much faster than you in almost every situation, 'cause he's level 10. This means that in order to fight him, you need to use all scounting regen to level-up, not to regenfight.

3. Find every glyph/shop/altar that might help you. You will need every resource you can squeeze for better damage output.

4. Lemmisi/Bludtupowa allows you to use water cells taken by dungeon generation for extra resource regen.

5. Some gods like Taurog/Binlor Ironshield/Glowing Guardian boost your magic resistance, which helps with reaching certain thresholds. The boss here always does magic damage, so you will greatly benefit from rising your resistance.

6. Getanadafix cant blink if he is not near you after the attack (as any other blink monster), so the knockback from pisorf/flail/binlor/half-dragon might help you dealing with him much earlier and easier. Slow effect from wonafyt/weitwyt, afaik, does the same - he would not blink away. Beware that burning tick from attacking other monster does proc flower spawn at any distance and he's gonna blink if he's close to you when it procs. Pisorf'ing (or knockbackin') something into him does proc flower spawn, but he won't blink away, so that is another way to deal consistent damage.

And dont be afraid to go Purist in order to keep your kingdom's money, that dungeon is not that hard when you start to understand the resource maganement, but purist will force you to understand it much faster. Even with human fighter its not a difficult challenge. Also, going Purist will allow you to freely reroll for better gods/subdungeons for easier approach. Even a free Schadenfreude with a scroll can be the difference between win and loss.

P.S. The Rewind fighter is different from the original one, so any older guides/wikis wont be a huge help to you in such case.

For what it's worth, Western Jungle is probably one of the first hurdles on the long road to mastery. So you're not alone, keep at it.
