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. 

A guy on my team finished it I asked him how he said he didn't know so it is possible

Are asking if it's possible  to do it? If so, the answer is clearly yes, all levels can be cleared with stars on every node.

If you are asking if he didn't know how it was done?I would say that's doubtful.

The technique is basically the same , 

kill the chief for 1 star.

complete all rooms for  2 stars

do both and retain a minimum of 50% energy for 3 stars.

The only differrence being, it gets more difficult as the event progressess.

He  might not know the set up of gear if it was changed, but there's no reason to change gear after 3 staring everything, so maybe he doesn't want you to know, however this seems unlikely, as if you read all the posts, you will see knowing a gear set up,that has been succesful, doesn't guarantee immediate success.

The finished numbers seem impressive, but just how impressive are they really ,even if the complete set had been achieved soon after they were introduced?

What else have they introduced or that you have since accomplished diminished their worthiness?

Do you even? 

Remember the difference between 9 and 10.

Use all the 'improvements'.

I would suggest they are just another sales gimmick inducement, like the improved gems.

Its just mathematically impossible to keep giving huge percent increases that have any real meaning.

The rewards justify the cost in runic coins after all: the Helheim store now offers a never ending supply of 500% offfence /defence bonuses and the 3250% troop size bonus .

As far as I'm concerned it has been doing that for a while now, and was/is/nothing to do with getting everything done with 3 stars.

ok, must be some other factor. Previously the only I could get those rewards was by replaying the nodes and floors I had completed

Did you visit the shop every day  or did you only just go in recently after not doing so for a long time? Do you remember how many items used to be on sale there?

Pretty sure there only used to bbe four, but have been six for a long time for me.

I still claim the free material, just in case , and sometimes  buy the  boosters.

I tried floor 10 node 7 at least 3,000 times i'm sure.  I came the closest and finally passed it with stats:     male   strength 2034   adjility 6758   intuition 2090  

     male Champion:  strength 2034   adjility 6758   intuition 2090  Vitality 0

Gear: bewolf's headband, right spellbound flail, enchanted trim, durable boots, celestrial ageis, and bewitched bestplate.

I finished three stars with 50.6 health.

Gear: bewolf's headband, rig4ht spellbound flail, enchanted trim, durable boots, celestrial ageis, and bewitched bestplate soulbane instead of spelbound flail and passed the floor with 81% health.  I couldn't believe it, so i did it 3 more times, and the lowest health was 71.8 when finished.  So i passed it 4 times in a row.

I then changed the champion to the female and changed stats to 1:2:1 ratio for strength, ajility and intuition, and passed it two more times with the same kind of stats.  So it doesn't matter what equipment you have, if you can afford soulbane it it well worth the 2 million runic coins.

 As you proved it an be completed  without,why did you botther to buy Soulbane and waste 2 million runic coins,when you already completed the challenge?

Perhaps you work for them.

guaranteed i don't work for them, lol. I had extra coins at the time and i for some reason don't think they may be done with Helheim and i wanted to be prepared if they added levels.  And i was curious as to the strength of this weapon.  Answer your question?

Yes thanks. I understand curiosity,I was curious too.

You could easily be right, and though I haven't replayed the actual game much, I still collect the free materials from the store.
