Ancient Sewers for the first time now I have the floor bash thing.
Fuck me. I'm a nervous wreck. Fuck that place. Managed to get through by the skin of my teeth only to be faced by
Spoiler:
Conjunctivitis???
Seriously. Fuck. That. Guy.
Think my build wasn't suited to it, or I just suck. Or both.
One thing I can't fathom is why take certain routes? I get you unlock stuff going certain ways, but when you've done that are you better off sticking to routes you prefer, or do certain blueprints only appear in certain areas?
I miss my early hours with the game. Loads of tries in a short space. Now I'm only managing one run at a time because I'm mentally exhausted after 30 minutes of arse clenching stress.
I can see that coming. Dancing around the first area is a joy, because I am in full on Revenge of Shinobi mode. That soon disappears when I get any further, and by the sound of it the areas I haven't seen are orders of magnitude beyond anything I've experienced.
I had a run the started off shite and then morphed into my best yet. Had a weird combo of weapons but managed to absolutely melt clock. That was only my second time at that boss too.
Unfortunately a 'tornado' turned the tables and melted me in the next area...
Little runes that you find on the floor let you open them. You get a guaranteed scroll but... lots of traps, which can be a difficult gamble on harder difficulties.
