This is a more optimized version of Moldredd’s Spectral Fist Specialist Guide. There have been many nerfs and changes since the original guide was posted and it needed more optimization to complete the achievement. The old build was just not doing enough damage.

Spellcaster Gloves sidenote
Do not use Spellcaster Gloves for the Achievement.
While the description might sound tempting, in reality every time Spectral Fists damages any enemy, the gloves will deactivate and it has to recharge. With no Ability Upgrades on Spectral Fists, it can only recharge until about 50-60%-ish before it deactivates due to damaging an enemy.
Once you pick any upgrades for Spectral Fists, it will also count as “Using Main Weapon”. For example, if you pick “Spectral Clutch”, which spawns gazillion amounts of hands to slow enemies, each hand will also count as “Using Main Weapon”. So realistically the gloves can never recharge and it will stay at 0-1% damage bonus, thus being useless.

Hall
You can do it on Forgotten Viaduct as the previous guide says, but I found the early game a real chore there and you are also unable to reach both Scrolls in time before the ghost march due to the Sage being extremely slow.
Thus I chose Ember Grounds Agony V
