Joe Diamond and the Circle Undone

By CaffeineAddict, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

I'm playing Joe Diamond solo against the Circle Undone, and struggling with the last scenario, at Deaths Doorstep. The Spectral Watcher is proving to be a real problem for Joe, as it seems evading it is the best way of dealing with it, but Joe's evasion is poor.

Has anyone come up with a good way of getting Joe through this scenario, Solo?

I only played the scenario once, but I think the trick is to get as many clues as possible during the first Act. If you get enough clues, you can quickly move to Act 3 and finish the scenario before too many enemies pile up. Spending a lot of time at Act 2 is bad, because the Silver Twilight members just stand around getting taken by the spirits. Unless you don't care about joining the Lodge, then you can just let them be distractions for you while you try to earn VP before running out the front door.

It's worth keeping in mind that the Lodge mooks only matter if Josef's fate is ambiguous (you never spawned him, or you left before he could die or escape). If you're planning to either rescue or kill your host (for +2 xp either way), the little guys are just spirit chow.
