A walkthrough said the item which lets you skip through world of the dead barriers is located on the 25'th floor, I scoured that floor clean and went through it all with the lens too. it's nowhere, kinda frustrating that I need to get to that point again now ...

Whoah, you managed to go that far ? I'm still struggling around level 17 ^^;

Hate the tesla salamander, the kind of uber lich that doesn't freeze and the ogre lord so far...

Can I ask you what level you are and what kind of stats you put your points into ?
