All -- I merged two threads together to put all of the Paroxysmus discussion together. Thanks to Mikeltin5 for getting the keying discussion started. The Warrior challenge thread is below in post #11.

A couple observations as well as a question or 2.
So I started keying paroxy, and looked online for maps that would elude to where everything was to give me an idea of the dungeon. I found the corrosive slimes at the beginning of the dungeon and got the skull and the torso off them. Killed hundreds and never got the legs. Ventured deeper into the dungeon and found more slimes around where the Putrefier is. Found legs on them. So final key is on Putrefier. WOO HOO!
Now, I honored myself as I ran through the sucubbuss area so I wouldn't have to worry about them following me down and could have honor ready for Putrefier by himself with no other spawn to worry about. Killed Putrefier with no worries, but before I could loot him for the spleen (which from pics is no bigger then a piece of blackrock) another popped off, honor faded, and the next one got me before I could set up honor and whatnot.
This varies in detail for the next few, but the end result was the same. So now I have like 6 sets of keys and no spleens. Any tactics or special weps you use for the Putrefier?? The only thing I think I haven't tried is using a Daisho for feint and holding off on honoring myself until I get closer to Putrefier.
Side note...first time I honored I was Knight of Honor, so first 2 Putrefiers went down easy before it wore off. The next trip in I'm assuming I was Follower of Honor (at least when I rezed I was), so maybe that attributed to honor wearing off faster. Any tips?
