The boss, Super Meat Man, is fortunately not affected.

 This dungeon can be deceptively hard, because you need very different strategies against the normal monsters and the bosses. Most of the regular monsters have below average health, and inflict special conditions in melee like Weakness, Curse and Corrosion, which makes them susceptible to characters that can deal a lot of damage. On the other hand, the bosses are very durable, but deal below average damage and have no special hazards, being easiest to beat with characters who are themselves very durable. The ideal strategy copes with both types of challenge.
-The {{c|Paladin}} is one of the best classes to bring down the bosses, especially if he carries a Really Big Sword. Sadly, he is also very severely impacted by the adverse conditions inflicted by the regular denizens, especially if he carries said Really Big Sword. It is therefor recommended that initially the player focus on the Meatmen primarily, and the Gelatinous Things, Golems and Goo Blobs secondarily, leaving the rest alone until they can be dealt with without any issue. The first opponent to defeat should be the Tower of Goo, after which the Really Big Sword can be converted, and the special monsters that were left alone at the start, can finally be disposed of. Generally, improving resistances and/or damage reduction favors this strategy the most. Packing {{g|Taurog}} for this level makes sense, as he provides damage bonus and resistances at the same time. The {{c|Monk}} plays similarly to the Paladin. Consider though that without the starting {{s|HALPMEH}}, Meat Men become dangerous as soon as they gain Poison strike, therefor eliminating them as quickly as possible is even more important.

-The {{c|Warlord}} is the antithesis of the Paladin for this dungeon, as he finds it very easy to dispose of most normal monsters, being generally unhindered by either Curse or Corrosion. He can reliably kill monsters that are 2 or more levels above himself. However, the bosses - especially the Super Meat Man - can be very challenging with this class. Again, the recommendation is to target the Tower of Goo first, and use as few resources as possible to defeat it, ideally lowering/ignoring its resistances via Really Big Sword, Binlor or Glowing Guardian, and potentially also leveling up mid-fight. The Super Meat Man might still force a change in strategy, which is when reserved blackspace and additional durability (resistances, sanguine, lifesteal, potions) can come in handy. Preparing the extra alchemy stores can be useful, because it can help wiping the Corrosion stacks, as well as purchase a Schadenfreude potion or a health / mana potion. The {{c|Rogue}} plays similarly to the Warlord. Be careful to have enough Health to fight the bosses! Consider making your character a Dwarf, or worship a god that can give you more Health or Physical Resistance like Glowing Guardian, Jehora or The Earthmother. It might be that you will be able to regen-fight the Super Meat Man earlier than the Tower of Goo due to its lower damage.

-'''Rogue:''' Plays similarly to the Warlord. It might be tempting to build a heavy damage Rogue, (i.e. Orc + Taurog), however a more balanced approach is recommended (i.e. Dwarf + GG / JJ / EM). The reason for this is that a heavy damage Rogue might cleave through the regular monsters with amusing ease, however will have considerable difficulty against the bosses, especially the Super Meat Man.
