EDIT: This might no longer be 100% accurate as a new update might have changed some things. I have not gone back and tested this in quite some time but I am aware that some might be having an issue with this after the update.
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 Archus during this run for the Archpocalypse achievement. If you would like to get that achievement as well you can just continue from where this one ends as I did it all in the same run.
Challenge name: MacroTramadolJumping
---Limbo---
Take Handheld Totem upgrade for Champion
Take Sap Tap artifact
After battle #1:
Take Crypt Builder card
---Level 2---
Take the right path.
Upgrade Crypt Builder with Freezestone and Powerstone.
Take Guard of the Unnamed from the Stygian Banner.
After battle #2:
Take Ice Tornado card
---Level 3---
Tale the right path.
Upgrade Ice Tornado with a Powerstone (+10 Magic Power).
Re-roll and apply another Powersone to Ice Tornado making it 40 damage.
Purge a Train Steward.
From Caverns take "The small shard" and apply it to Guard of the Unnamed.
Battle with Talos
Turn 1
Bottom Floor Lineup: Champion -> Guard of the Unnamed -> Train Steward.

End Turn
Turn 2

You should be done at this point.

Noticed several comments about how this doesn't work due to there not being certain cards coming up to draft at the time they are mentioned to take in this guide. I decided to try using this guide as close to the T as I could, substituting rational card and upgrade choices in place of missing cards and upgrades. I got it my first attempt and killed Talos on turn 2 rather than 3 like stated on this guide. Here is what I did instead.
Limbo - Take Handheld Totem for Champion.
Take Sap Tap.
After 1st battle, Crypt Builder is not an option so take Energy Siphon instead.
Take the Sting from the Awoken pack.
Level 2 - Take right path.
I only had the option of Power stone so I took that and applied Surgestone to the other Crypt Builder.
Guard of the Unnamed was not an option so I took Siren of the Sea instead.
After 2nd battle, take Tornado.
Level 3 - Take right path.
Upgrade Tornado with Power stone.
Re-roll and take the Freezestone and apply it to the Crypt Breaker that has the Surgestone (note: I applied it to the other Crypt Builder but after the run realized it should have went to the stronger of the 2).
You should be basically broke (55 gold). You can purge the Train Steward if you want but I did not.
Take the Large stone from the Caverns and apply it to Siren of the Sea.
Battle with Talos
Turn 1 - Line up your Champion and 2 Train stewards on the bottom floor making sure the Champion is at the back of the line. Place Siren of the Sea on the middle floor. You can play a Steel Enhancer on a unit if you'd like but it's not required.
Turn 2 - You should have a Crypt Builder in hand and a Urchin Spines. Talos should be on the middle floor. Play the Urchinspines on the middle floor.
If an enemy is on this floor use a Frozen Lance on it.
Use the Crypt Builder on Talos. It should deal about 1100 damage.
Let me know if this works for everyone. There may be a spot or 2 that may not work out quite like I said in this but I also went off of memory and didn't write any step or anything down. This is also meant to be for those who don't have or want to get the dlc pack.
