Has anyone beaten descent into hell?

Title + Tips?

I have failed several times now. From late stage one to mid stage 2 the elites are just too fast. Since this is an achievement for the sake of an achievement I may pass on it for now.

Thats the big mistake you're doing. Instead of going for a moving build, try to do a non-moving build. I beat the challenge before it got nerfed using a non-moving build.
Either have enough damage to kill everything before they get near you, or enough tank power so they can't drain your hp. (To beat the world 3 you need both, but for world 1 and 2 you should just focus on 1 of them)

There is no need for dash or defence if everything dying fast enough. With good damage stacking enemies start to get close only on late 2 and 3 worlds, some HP/HP regen/Damage miltigation will do it nicely. Anchor is very useful for such playstyle.

Investing in move speed won't help much if you don't have firepower to scatter the crowds.

The advice I've seen on here doesn't really seem to help. Regardless of build I cant seem to build up enough DPS.

Has anyone beat this challenge after the transmutation cards were nerfed to the dirt or is it not possible with their current form?

I just finished it, it was a 2 weapon run: Death Scythe + Thorn.

Before you attempt it make sure you have all upgrades in your soul shop tiers F-D. For C tier have at least the damage upgrade, though relolls will also help.

I started with Swordrang and later got Cleaver. After I got Death Scythe I went for Thorn for additional damage mitigation.

Here are my soulcards and stats after I finished Zone 1.

In that zone I aimed for health, Fractal card, Immovable object card, Berserker card, Blood transmutation card and pick-up range.
I also went for projectile size instead for additional projectiles since Death Scythe doesn't benefit from more projectiles.
Important cards are Castle and Light Weight, because otherwise they get discarded once you get Armor-less. Another important card is Gluttony, it increases your health by 5% for 1 minute every time you get food.

Here are my soulcards and stats after I finished Zone 2.

Death Scythe with soul shop upgrades has 900% crit damage multiplier at level 7 and 1300% at level 8, so I went for crit chance instead of crit damage.

And here is the summary as well as my soulcards and stats after I finished Zone 3.

Done that ♥♥♥♥ today... Oh god, how many tries
I tried a lot of builds, all weapons, all cards (with all global upgrades ofc) and so...

lmaoooo me too. just finished it today and had a veryu similar reaction. for me the big big difference between like 30+ish attempts and finally beating it was.....

I unlocked Flesh. Flesh was the missing puzzle piece for me. It is an extremely powerful card and my HP was somewhere ~60k. i didn't realize how strong that item was going to be

I just beat Descent Into Hell by using a Martyr + Blood Transfusion build up to the end 2nd act, where I activated the infinite money trick and maxed out all my cards and all the weapons. The rest was trivial, the only issue being the frame-rate being reduced to 1 fps and time passing 10 times slower than normal.

Sadly, I didn't get the achievement when I won. Not sure why.

[tmaddox]

I have been trying at least one run every day. I thought I had a good one going this morning. Obliterated the first two zones, had a couple of evolution weapons, over 15 K health (with trolls blood to double it to 30K) and that is after maxing the blood skill that boosts damage. I even had max thorns in case things go to close.

About half way through the third zone though I got overwhelmed 3 or 4 elites who were damaging me faster than I could damage them.

because infinite money trick is a cheat and lowers ur soul coin gain and wont give u achievements

Yep I even Farm it ... it's quite a dumb build but 9 trillion dmg and banished lunatic level 200+ and you play whit everything ....

Steps :
1) - katana/windblade - katana is a must artificer katana is good for aoe but if you want to go double fractal then combine it whit wind blade so start up weapons are 100% go for katana and find at least 1 chest in the start up line if you have 2 on the same path gg ...

2) - go for flesh if you can find it don't worry 1 corruption is nothing at the end compared to 400 at last boss ... armor be quick light armor and move speed and go for dmg only they hit like a truck I will post some resulst down ...

3) - evolution here is the dumb question go for 1 weapon and evolve it to the max (witch is kinda impossible this early ) or go for second weapon so go for secon deapon dementional rose (if you don't know how to play dementional rose then go in survivors stage and practise there )

4) - 3rd weapon ? when you have on evolution dimentional rose go for void wisp ( yaaaaaay lazer show ) slashes of the katana ealy game projectiles are giga good for that weapon ----- ( you can make it dumb like double hipersonic double quick and 4 tense string but this thing lags the game especially whit double fractal my laptop cries when i go this far but killing wise is the best thing in the game 3rd zone enter whit void wisp and it compares whit katana at the end dmg wise just lower the graffics like low is a must if you go this far )

5) - 4th weapon honestly for me meh at the end i kill the boss in seconds so not that viable option ...

6) - questions "only this you have to say dude" banish material are totaly that you need if you need more then go to the shop and buy banish charges 18 are plenty avoid xp negatives like training weight and head bash go for as much as xp possible max is around 11k xp multiplier ... question "ok and what to banish more "momentum projectile size lifetime reduce projectiles and attack speed gain for - dmg% that is the worst ...
question "ok noted next "so dashes here are verry important if you go for artificer katana then go for dashes you will see in the pics below why 12 dashes 0.83 seconds refil 3 times you just dash non stop ... and the good thing about the dashes are that dementional rose just teleports everything in random direction .... so dashes synergyses whit katana and dimentional rose so this is a fast build so fast that the charecter goes to the edge of the screen not at the middle ... "wtf is this dude I did not get it ) I call it teleportal lazershow combat you are fast everything is shooted in random direction tnx to spike boots triger on dmg taken effect when dash so dimentional rose is constantly active gg and you have 18 projectiles that shoot on 0.20 seconds something like that in aoe and if you have fractal + fireworks for the dimentional rose assended card is hm ok i need better pc ... in short katana is a must second weapond thorns 3rd magic wisp but that is when you evolve the previous 2 :) "question witch is better sylph blade or aoe katana "well depends how much you want to lag your game sylph is lag katana is clear I suggest fire katana for starters and it's easy to do ... question "ok what assended cards to chose from "simply if you get lunatic just reroll it and all the rest first is martyr then spiked boots fire works double martyr and banish lunatic ... question "why to banish lunatic it's a lot of dmg " I know but that is a death sentence on this stage -90% all armor value is not that good of a choise ... or second lunatic 1% total armor valiue and lets not forget cursed book - 3 base armor ...
"ok but you can go for zealot x4 and lunatic times 2 "you do that and give me a result after :)
nothing more just pics in order 1-7 + last 2 the result

just scroll down to see the result :) btw sylph blade is the same story

total game time played less than 80 hours .... and the game is done

By the way, if you are to the point that you can hold out on upgrading your katana until you hit a shop (preferably smith), you *can* get both ascensions at once if you can get one in the card shop while the other is in the shop itself. It usually leans to one or the other, but you can rarity reroll it. Having both really just rips through everything that tries to get close.

Absolutely same. I was stupid and get Flesh after that challenge :D
With Flesh soulcard run has become much easier
