I had a second tome for some of the run but gave it away for I think the windmill relic... I'm not sure if the Ring of Doom would have helped. Can't remember if it gives more rage... But I needed more initial damage to beat the summoned minion that this boss spawned... Once I got past the first waves in most fights I could just outlast everything and eventually build up enough damage to punch through. But since I only had 1 dodge per turn, I got wiped as soon as I couldn't clear one extra enemy. Actually, the helmet that lets you dodge once per turn would have been extremely helpful... Or even just some dodge potions in this particular battle. Though the weakness of this build is burn and poison... If you can't dodge it or kill it quick enough. You lose.
