Tips for floor 2 and mostly 3 of wailing tower ?

[Goosetave]

Floor 2's manageable but hard to no-hit (also strongly depends on the cursed arcana picked up).
Floor 3 however is simply just kicking my ass no matter what i do. I cannot get through it despite my best efforts. Too many casters, especially the cultist who's gonna do that unavoidable tracking root attack while hiding in the swarm.
Also biggest hurdle is that you get hit once and the stamina meter goes poof, leading to an unescapeable stunlock.

Here's my stats & gear (gnosis 4) :

Lvl 45~ish :
20 in health, endurance & luck
25 in magic

Weapons :
All Seeing Eye (third mysterium)
Echo (third mysterium)
Crossbow

Spells :
Ice Cone (third mysterium)
Iron Cross (third mysterium)

Accessories :
Eye Of a Madwoman (third mysterium)
Henbane (third mysterium)
Shadowmist Ring (third mysterium)

Any tips ?

And yeah, killing in that realm does nothing. They just spawn every few seconds.
got a boss fight next level so it's better not to waste ammo there.

Kills in the realm adds seconds to timer. And realm event is to grab 5 propecies there

Floor 1: Mad Men, if you snipe all of them from above you can clear the floor early and not have to fight the 3-4 dozen of them that spawn like if you enter the bottom area of that floor.

Floor 2: 3 Circles fairly straightforward, something mid-long range helps to clear while standing in the circles I find Ice dome works well (blocks the many projectiles). After clearing the second circle a Cleric spawns either clear the final circle fast, so everything de-spawns or stun / freeze & nuke the Cleric b/c they can give you a bad time

Floor 3: Kill the initial Monks and then the portal to the dream-realm opens up, a tip for this area is it uses the chests and dropped items from the surface map, so say if a HP elixir drops up top it will be still on the ground here in the dream realm, the same applies to ammo chests, they are in the same spot in the dream as they are on the surface. I recommend making a bee-line to the nearest ammo chest while you're in the dream (open your map).

After the first dream you come out kill everything (including another cleric) then go into the dream again for 20 seconds when the portal opens, you appear wherever you were when you left the dream the first time, so again make your way to an ammo chest (if you still have one left from the surface) if needed, alternatively carry ammo packs b/c next room is the boss room.

After exiting the dream the second time the floor is complete, grab the de-buff crystal and any extra divine essence you may need for the boss reward at the end.

Thanks to everyone's suggestion / tips. Got the prophet to 1% first try, after that it took an extra 4 but i finally got him :d

Finished the content for now, i'll grind a bit more to try different loadout.

Update :
Just beat the boss with no trouble (2nd try) and had a super easy time with the floors.

Here's some tips i figured out :

• First of all, buy a full stock of ammo bags from the collector : this allows you to stock up on ammo without relying on the cursed altars and overburdening yourself with more debuffs.
  
  
• You only need to grab the one cursed arcana you get from the floor's green crystal. That's it, so max 3 debuffs. These WILL overwrite your first 3 arcanas, so use your prophecies in order to get what you don't need in the first 3 slots.
  
  
• For the loadout, i went full boss killer with Striga & Hangfire (both at 3rd mysterium), and relied on cysts & iron cross for group clearing. With enough witchery (i had 25) you get really consistent cooldowns. Accessories remained Eye Of a Madwoman, Henbane & Excretia (shadowmist might work even better but i don't like it).
  
  
• Finally, do NOT use the glowing yellow tombstone things that spew a ton of divine essence before you cleaned the floor, this will summon extra astral enemies.

Lastly, for the boss, you'll just want to dodge the fire waves by jumping over them, the rest of the attacks aren't that theatening. Spam Striga until you stun him, then spam some more. Keep the crossbow for groups.

• Phase 1 is 1v1 with the boss
  
  
• Phase 2 is a ritual where you have to kill all cultists in the room + a group that spawns after
  
  
• Phase 3 teleports you to the astral realm to face the boss again and a bunch of cultists
  
  
• Phase 4 is a repeat of phase 2 but with a stronger swarm after the ritual
  
  
• Phase 5 is a final showdown with the boss in the astral realm, with a few astral enemies.

Hope that helps

you went up to Gnosis iV before tackling one of the harder challenges XD
as you already have Henbane, what helped me the most was Braid Of A Seductress, as it gives you (3rd tier) 30% dmg reductiong vs meele and everyone, also bigger foes will freeze when the hit you (and you get 50% of the dmg the dealt to you back, when you kill em before the freeze ends).
also ammo from the vendor
and I dichted the Ice Sphere for the Grenade Guy cause he deals somewhat decent dmg and best of all draws some aggro
also Stigma Diabolicum in combination with Hailstorm (or any hard hitting weapon) is king
also also Crown of Fire so your shots hurt extra
