In his situation I would try something like this: infect a somwhat dangerous monster, then go away to a safe place and restrain your body. Now change perspective to the viruses in the monster's body and duplicate until you can dominate it, use this monster to find a more dangerous monster, and use it too to find an even more dangerous monster. Repeat this while descending the floors and in no more than 2-3 days you'll be at the bottom of the dungeon and will have aquired a lot of useful skills and symptoms. Because the monsters can take care of themselves you can take rests and go back to your body outside the dungeon to take care of it's basic needs like water.
