Edit: Nevermind. Can't delete this since it's a thread, I guess. But I've tried this dozens of times across 4 days now and it's just too exhausting to keep at it. I give up. :/

Maybe it is the matter of lack of Revive? It's actually the only challenge that doesn't have Revive at all.
That's the only map vhere having a buddy is crucial, I think, because keeping the Guardian vorking is very difficult for one person.

That was my main problem. Half the time, Guardian wouldn't revive me because the magick would fade out during my death. I also have an issue with keeping enemies off of me.
I got a little further by switching to the Vanir Armor robe because I took a little less damage if my rock armor was beaten through, but then I ran into one of those green goop-shooting orcs and it one-shot me on what looked like the very first frame of its attack animation and I couldn't have possibly avoided that. I also don't get the chance in later phases to kite an enemy around, keeping up a triple lightning / one fire ward and spamming Abuse-A-Scroll to summon my fairy back, so eventually I'd die, revive and then get almost instantly blasted again. Summoning skeletons only sometimes works because either the enemies are totally distracted, or a single melee attack from an enemy wipes almost all of them out. The armor's slowdown really hurts, but I was doing even worse with the Wuxia Robe when the slightest breeze would kill me.
And yeah, I hate to admit it but I just can't seem to get through this one without cheesing the heck out of Revive.

Oh yeah, I remember that challenge. I think that I was with a friend, but unfortunately we both lagged like hell as a result of working together. I think the plan was something like "Let's bring one of the familiars that rezzes EVERYONE (aka Flying Bonehead of Kill = Power and Obese Red Demon of Orb-Carrying), and then if we both die, one of us will use sacrifice if necessary, and the other will spam Abuse-A-Scroll until we get Revive".
Oh yeah, Lightning storms are really good, but be careful not to area cast unless nothing can knock you into them. As much damage as they may do to enemies, Wizards cannot regenerate health and will die painfully and more quickly.
