This is rather simple with a custom match but to streamline it even more I have created a custom challenge which you can use to replicate this. You can also find Talos during this run for the Ta-ta Talos achievement.

Great guide, the only one I am missing now is Fel.

Great guide, thank you! Just a heads up that there is a typo under "Battle with Archus, Turn 2." Should read "Use Frozen Lance and Sting" instead of "Use Frozen Lance and Spikes." Not a big deal but could potentially trip someone up.
