 The Vicious Halls of Steel is one of the easier Vicious dungeons. It has two bosses, Count Blahblah, a vampire, and The Indomitable, an animated armour. Given that both bosses and many of the enemies in the dungeon do magic damage the Berserker is an obvious choice. When coupled with Taurog it's trivial to hit the magic resistance cap, add in a Tri-Sword for damage and it's a pretty easy run.

 For preparations we'll be taking all the normal melee ones. We'll prep Taurog directly since his prep cost is bearable and we'll take a Compression Seal to free up some space since Taurog's items take up a lot of room.
