As usual you fail to provide useful information.

What is and isn't working?

I would not suggest this solution but if you insist you can still use:
Item - Remove Item being manipulated

Maybe that does not work for items in inventory so perhaps the hero action would be safer, but point is that item being manipulated is the more efficient reference.

Yeah I figured out that much.

What is relevant however is knowing how much of the trigger works. (debug with messages)
Does the trigger pass the first condition, or is the problem with the second conditions in the actions block.

Because I think the second part should work, probably.

And the first one is map specific so I cannot really tell if it is correct or not.

Do you even check what you're doing when you made the trigger? You are comparing item levels, not how many items of the same type the unit has.
However, I bring you the heaven with the solution.

I made a dedicated demo, make sure to play it, beat it and have fun!

 

[Chaosy]

Heh, I thought he actually wanted to filter by item level.
Which would theoretically make strong items limited.

Yes gold was reduced, but the item was dropped. If you want to refund gold, then you'd better remove the item manipulated else it could be abused to get extra gold.
According to your trigger, it should look like this for a final phase, of course you can add more item types.

Also, what the hell does Gold of Wall means?! I guess you meant Wall of Gold

 

[Wrda]

You're removing the item carried by hero (hero manipulating item) of type and not the acquired item, you just need

• Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)

Equivalent to the conditions you use for item type, should be

• (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Gold of Wall

instead of

• (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating unit) of type Gold of Wall)) Equal to Gold of Wall

which will always return true
