Just use Library Pass and Scroll of Secrets every turn to have a fresh Necronomicon.

Use Ariadne's Twine to recharge Scroll of Secrets and Correlate All Its Contents and Truth from Fiction to charge Eon Chart.

Since you are Ascetic, do not waste time in victory points, just go fast and solve the scenario.

After some testing I would change:

Mouse Mask --> Lone Wolf due to resources are needed for Ariadne and Library Pass.

Swift Reflexes --> Friends in Low Places due to there is not need for extra actions thanks to Eon Chart but some times it is welcome a tutor for searching Items.

Honed Instinct --> Research Librarian to find the Tomes asap.

Eon Chart (1) to adapt it to lattest taboo.

Inquiring Mind --> Bum's Rush. Having other way to deal with Enemies and the chance to get a clue and kill/move the Enemy, is better than a situation-dependent skill card.

Looks cool @Julio_R! I suppose if following the latest taboo on The Necronomicon (+3 XP) you can change Eon Chart •••• for Eon Chart • and achieve similar results.

This shell is an excellent one. Just the Scroll of Secrets into Library Pass for a powerful tome - especially The Necronomicon - is a really neat shell to work from.

I'm a try hard so I'd likely try to fit a Backpack in here too.

Thanks for commenting. The deck is just an initial thought of the simplest way to use the combo Library Pass, Necronomicon and Scroll of Secrets. I run the Night of the Zealot, killing the Priest, getting 5 of 6 cultist in the Masks and resigning at the end due to bad combination of initial draw, places and Encounters cards.

I think @HungryColquhoun you can use Eon Chart (1). We need taboo anyway to make the Scroll fast. It is true that the double action move+evade/investigate is quite strong for Lucius in true-solo, but it is fine to just have one single extra action. Main problem is to gain more resources and setting the combo asap.

I thought @wedgeex on the Backpack but the issue is that you need to get The Necronomicon in you hand not attached to the Backpack, since you are not going to play the Necro, just attach it to Library Pass. I think I will try again adding Friends in Low Places for searching Item and a Research Librarian that with Hit and Run can find you first the Necro and the Scroll, and later the Book of Verse that may be useful if you can play it and in any case is a doble card.

In addition to the changes commented, I also think that it needs an additional way to do punctual damage at some point when you can't take out the Necro, with a particularly tough enemy or when several of them get together. Maybe Occult Invocation or maybe the new Bum's Rush that fits well with Lucius' ability.

I'll give it another try and if it goes well, I'll risk doing a whole campaign in true-solo to see how it goes.
