My first mistake: I should have used only heroic potions, instead of a mix of heroic and greater.
yup. even a last elixir, if needed

I used a club and a wakizashi. Should I have used the mace I normally use? Or perhaps a rapier instead of the wakizashi? My dual wield proficiency is high but my two handed is maxed out (for now).
i can't imagine how to do it in decent time without penetrated armor effect, implemented in whatever way you want - rapier + shield, club of slaughter + rapier of nimble; maybe rapier of slaughter + waki of nimble or estoc of slaughter are a bit too risky for this task

My deprecating proficiency is not high enough to use Silence. Should I wait until I can?
not mandatory but it would really be useful if you want to do it at higher difficulties. every now and then in arenas too, when you're
forced to siphoning and don't want your main battery to suddenly cast SP attack on you, so it's not a waste of time to reach it

Does Yggdrasil heal everybody or just the Goddesses? That would make it a less important target.
all the mobs. either cutting or silencing the tree has priority; in the first case it will leave the 'fury of the sisters' effect permanently active on all mobs, in the second case absorbing ward will be forever active and you'll have to constantly look at it. your choice

Do the buffs the Goddesses leave behind make them worth leaving alone until the end?
goddesses buff every other monster too. you should get rid of other targets first, leaving them as last priority - and do a 4some with them while no other mob watches you (IMG:[

For the rest, is it better to take out the weaker ones first since they go down quicker or the stronger ones since they are a greater threat and warrant the use of Spark of Life.
in theory, after cutting the tree, you should go against FSM, then IPU/dragons, RL and goddesses at last.
in practice, do what you want/can (including silencing/weakening some of them) but yggdrasil surely come first.
also, i'd wait until spirit shield is a bit more usable and cast SoL via scrolls if really needed

Probably most important of all, are the trophies really worth it over just fighting the Flying Spaghetti Monster alone?
questionable. many people says that PF TT&T has the greatest chance of dropping something good in the whole game (together with PF DwD) but trollish drops aren't exactly so rare. i guess you may be happy enough with going against FSM alone and taking 2 noodlies at the price of one. every now and then you still find someone who buys them at 30k or so...
