NEVER GIVE UP.
Ha, ha... you molten earth'd him into the ground, huh? Did you do it while the eye was in your field of view too (curious if it spawned larvae). Were you at 1 HP (looks like it)? Seems that the armor effect rounds down at an odd value, meaning you could use molten earth for 0 damage.
I wonder how the sniper armor would do... anyways, grats on the win!
@ Ethaniel:
Is it still "Molten Heart", or is it "Molten Earth" now (& "heart" was just a typo of "earth") ??

I believe it is Molten Earth.
As far as I can see in the code, it’s “earth” from its appearance in Update 0.5 to latest Update 1.7.1c. OK, I correct all those typos, well seen! The special ability’s description was copied&pasted and thus right, but the section title (and all what followed) was wrong. Oh, and I’m the culprit. ^^" 2013/08/21->2014/07/28, this unintended typo lived almost 1 year long! (BTW my new badge will arrive soon!)

(BTW my new badge will arrive soon!)Ohh! It was a typo this whole time. I was never sure ('til now); and simply thought "Molten Heart" was the name of the armor (Mage Robe) itself, while "Molten Earth" was the ability. XD
Aww; if I'd known, I would've left it alone until after August 21st, so it could reach the full year! Hahah!
Many thanks, Ethaniel! =D

I entered the final boss room with full health and a Potion of Healing, which turned out to be just enough to pound the burning fist to death. Of course, I was at half HP with no Potions of Healing left against a rotting fist with full HP, so I tried using all my items in a last-ditch attempt to save the run, which is why my mage armor has an affection glyph. After sitting around for a few minutes wondering if I should just give up, I realized I could kite him around in circles by spamming Molten Earth (after regenerating 1 HP through not being starving) and using my Wand of Blink when he got too close. He still managed to get a single attack off on me when I was careless and ran into a corner with 0 charges of my Wand of Blink left, but fortunately it missed and he eventually burned to death.
I ran around the eye too, which was pretty comical since, of course, it did nothing the whole fight but stare at us. Molten Earth didn't seem to affect the eye, but fortunately, my Wand of Lightning did and didn't cause him to spawn larvae, so it was just a game of waiting and spamming lightning once the hands died.
Thanks!
Oh, OK.

I tried to apply the same strategy 2 minutes ago (having my +9 firebolt wand broken, sigh) but molten earth didn't seem useful with the fists. The got rooted twice but never set on fire. no damage at all -and I had 12 health potions, so we can say I tried a lot.
Sigh, I thought this was finally the time to beat Yog with the warlock
