It is worth persevering though for the 3250% increase in troop number/march boost.

Based on observation I have several theories.

The unofficial helpline has a comment about contacting the postee for the definitive way to get the last node done. 

The trouble is this site is full of suggestions that many blindly follow as gospel,and come unstuck.

Similarly here too ,and in this dilemma ,with the need to get Beowulf gear,and specific reference to a particular set,which may not necessarily be the best.

For a number of reasons, I haven't even switched to the female champion, as is recommended.

I haven't given up, it is still eaarly days for me, and though they may be useful to most,not finding the bonus boosts is not so important for me.

What's your opinion on Soulbane,right hand weapon for Champion level 48.

"What's your opinion on Soulbane,right hand weapon for Champion level 48"

For me i found it was worth it,however this wont apply to everyone as 5m runic coins are likely to be better spent elsewhere for other players depending on what you do in the game.

I had been stuck on the last 2 nodes of floor 10 for a long  long time never getting any better than finishing node 6 or 7 with 25% health left no matter what combinations of settings i used,as soon as i brought soulbane i completed both nodes with 3 stars on my first try

Sorry - I have been busy with cvc. I do not know anything about the Soul bane sorry (I have never had 5ml runic coins to spend - looks like it was worth it tho ). I went with the recommended Spellbound Flail which seems to have worked for many other people. I and my alt both have 2 stars node 7 and my alt has only just reached lv 49.

What I write here is often for general  rather than specific consumption.

 No need to apologise, I wasn't biting my nails waiting for an answer.

I know myself how dealing with the forum, or other players is distracting, and takes time way from the game which could be critical.

Obviously some one thought 'The season store offer' for Soulbane was worth it.

I had compared its merits with the flail and pondered, for a one purpose use item, with no stated guarantees of outcome,it seemed quite extravagant, but maybe not if you have an abundance of coin.

I would think most of those who might afford it, no longer need it as they have long finished floor 10 node 7.

I think I have some appreciation of the frustration now.

Mixed feelings here.I am not going to benefit much myself, but completing it gets it out the way, but then what else do I do once the goal is no longer there? 

Just  completed floor 10  node 7, a bit of an anticlimax really as there is no fanfare, no specialty pop up , only the basic  you have finished the floor with three stars etc.

It was my 67th run, without the usually suggested set up,only ever using Unnar, so to me at least, it shows it is possible, I hadn't even used all my skill points.

I have just been going around and around in node 7 again after a break of several weeks and it seems to have got harder instead of easier.???? I can't even repeat the two stars I have !!

This setup will beat the last floor, might have to do a few attempts. Done this with 3 accounts already.

Hi Arnie

Thanks for the info, but is there any chance you could name the equipment for those of us still working our way up? Thanks.

Ps Judging by the fact it's glowing is that Beowulf's headband? If so how do you get any of the Beowulf gear? I have 3 accounts on floor 10 none of which have received any of the Beowulf gear.

Thank you. I discovered my alt has the  Beowulf's headband - I have no idea when and how. The other gear is Spellbound Flail, Bewitched Breastplate, Enchanted Trim Belt, Northern Bulwark,  and Durable Boots.

The plot thickens - I reset the alt as suggested and with one go left, ie 10th before being locked out, completed the floor ie 2 stars ... so progress. 

My main however, although it has been lv 50 for longer, has 85 less points to spend, ie can't reach 3,000 on Intuition. Even wierder, although it has 26 on Vitality as suggested, the vitality is 57,360 and not 58,459. ????

My alt on its run met  7 oponents and the Boss. My main on each attempt ran into more than 10 oponents and never completed a floor.

Arnie's post was an additional prompt.

I believe it's not important, ,so don't worry about not being able to repeat 2 stars, 

Though on several occasions it looked like I was going to succeed and get 3 stars, there were  times I also failed miserably at repeating 2.

After Arnie's addition, I went back to check and read through the whole thread, doing so might prove beneficial to others.

Most , but not all, are recommending Viva, and apart from not adding anything to Health except through armoury. nothing else is consistant, suggesting there is no ideal set up.Unless there really is, and it's a secret !

I kept note of all runs and gloom type, and from run 34, how much health was lost in each room.  

Though I started with a different set up, and changed it for some of the attempts, I dropped the use of several  items of Beowulf gear, but never got round to returning to Ghostly Veil. 

Here's what my champion finished with. 

i

i

Not got round to repeats or trying  Viva. 

Beowulf Gear.

I could be wrong,may have since updated,but I believe at one time it was with the rewards for 1 star.

I got the headband in a room chest, but unless you drop lucky (I did the boots) chances are you already have something at least as good, if not better. 

Quoting myself.

Floor 10, node 4 ,still only 2 stars, ran into a chest second room.5 boxes, last one Beowulf's Headband, ( on checking, doesn't seem there's much improvement on Ghostly Veil) so will see if it helps any now.

Weirdly, cleared 20 rooms finishing with 1 health after several rounds against a very strong opponent at this mark.

Just did only 19 rooms wearing  the headband. 

You need a bit of luck with some empty rooms and some good crits.. thats just how it is, youll get there mate.

how you got different health pool is a weird thing, all my accounts use this setup with same health. 😂

Arnie . I mistakenly thought your message was for me not Pipkin.

I have a feeling I read somewhere how many champion skill points there are,and I can't check without seeing Pipkin's account or perhaps resetting my own so...

I am making an educated guess here, but if his alt has the headband and the main doesn't that would be the likely explanation for the Health difference between them because, gear adds health.

 I can see why the headband is recommended, there is 1,116  health differance between Beowulf Headband, and Ghostly Veil , an alt with the head band, verus main without would almost account for the shortage Pipkin wrote. (57,360 and not 58,459. difference 1,099, there's a post on this thread with the Ghostly Veil set up with 57,343 health)

Beowulf Headband 963 .v. Ghostly Veil 439 gives extra 524 on intuiition. 

The rest of the  85 'missing' points is probably connected to this.

If they have been used in another category , they aren't available for 3000 intuition.

 Luck perhaps.

My winning run, 

Empty,GM,BK,GK,Empty,GS,BC,GS,Chest,GM,GR,Chest,BM,Empty,BOSS,GC,Chest,Empty,BC.

As only 19 rooms.

Guessing last room was also empty, and so jumpng straight to win page.

                                                               1Red,4Blue,8Green,5Empty,2Chest. 

Previous Run 66. after killing Boss with 64% and 5 rooms left,2 of them empty but 3 strong gloom 2G and 1B failed at 39%                         1Red,5Blue,6Green,4Empty,4Chest.

I just posted in general, not as a reply to anyone.

If anyone is wondering how to setup their champion for the last 2 nodes, then this worked for me without much pain and is a setup ive gotten a long time ago from other big players. Do not expect it to solve it on first try because you will need a bit of luck aswell with the rooms, dodges and crits. 

Its easy to make a setup that just never will cut it as you level up, reset and try something random might be just as bad, but this setup can and it will beat it. Best of luck folks! 

32  attempts later with Arnie's set up and still not there yet 😢

300+ tries and still nothing. No Beowolf headband. In fact not a single, NONE, Beowolf drops through the whole of Helheim on this account. Its cursed I guess. So tired of doing node 7 I have pretty much just given up. 

I've done 10.7 on my main account "ages ago"(a few months ago) and even then it was a pain in the @$$ to pass through the floors. I have been struggling since node 7-ish so I had to google for a solution and found some videos on youtube that made  my life easier. I followed one of youtuber's advice and used 1-2-1 system points ( 1 strength , 2 Agility , 1 Intuition ) and swapped to female hero , by doing this it was really easy to get to floor 10, the only thing left was to level up and grind for materials. I was lucky enough to get Beowulf's Headband on 9.4 on 1st try.

This is my main:

Unfortunately I wasn't so lucky on my 2nd account , even though I've got the Beowulf's Headband ( 10.7 1st attempt ) and the same status as my main. I'm still trying different status setups  ....

WOOHOO - I could finally afford enough runic coins to buy the Soul Bane for my main and my alt, using Arnie's set up, as in my  previous c. 100 attempts, and they both cruised straight through node 7 first time ! !  

Unfortunately the extra rewards hardly justified the cost = Oh well ...

Lmao, that was exactly why I came here lol. To say exactly what you did. Yep, after swearing up and down for months now that I WOULD NEVER buy that Soulbane sword I finally had enough. Bought it and sailed through 10.7 first try on both my accounts. Sooooooo..... 10mil Runic Coins for a total of 2 stars. Good one Plarium. 

Oh..... close to 400 attempts on main account btw.
