Also, if the Castle turns into the Rare Castles (Misile and/or Dohr), my experience is usually that we're going to lose a tower - the difficulty seems to upgrade itself if they're the Castle we fight.
And you wanna know the crazy part? I'm actually a terrible Hero who doesn't have 8 affixes (it took me until Level 69 Hero to beat Demon Phaleg - and even then, there was plenty of attempts and deaths within those attempts). Ha... I really do suck, don't I?
