In the "Protect the Prophecy" variant of Prophecy of Madness, if players reach gold before the end of Phase 1, Phase 2 ends almost immediately. It would seem that the timer for Phase 1 bleeds over into Phase 2, leaving no opportunity to achieve gold in this variant without purposefully slowing down combat in Phase 1 and waiting out the timer. For farming runs, this is very frustrating as players have no control over which variant is selected, and also makes the associated achievement for achieving gold in this variant much more difficult to obtain than it should be.
