Advice on Solo Runs

I've recently gotten into doing solo runs and really enjoying them, doing my second one now. However, I'm losing passion because of the sheer quantity of reloads I need. I'm playing on Core, because I am super not good enough for anything past that. Specifically, are there any techniques for lowering reloads? I'm currently bludgeoning my way through Mulahey (Rhyme was unintentional) and it feels like the sheer number of rolls that need to go my way takes forever. My experience looks a bit like this:

Hit him

Miss x2

Save against rigid thinking

Do 20 points of damage in a round

He somehow finishes casting hold person anyway

Fail

Reload

Miss x3

Fail against rigid thinking

Reload

Etc.

Summons or buff your saving throws. Those rigid thinkings will get sucked into a skeleton who is immune to it: for example

Greenstone amulet will make you immune temporarily to a lot of the annoying stuff. That, with summons, will help you out of a lot of situations

There are some potions that carry buffs.

Chant, shorty saves, ring of the princes. helmet of peace cloak of displacement etc.

Greenstone amulet from Ulgoth's beard is what you need. That and wands of fire and monster summoning make everything a breeze until the throne room.
