This is not the type of game where a shield is a crutch for more conservative play - it’s invaluable for parry and guardbreak as well as AoE blocking, so don’t forget to use it. This is not a No ShIEld RuN MegA-L337 type of dickwaving game. The most epic fights come from using the shield, not rejecting it.

You weren't expecting to see a cool thing in the cold realm?

Sounds about right - think I only got 2 full boosts by the end, not sure how many more there are.
In other news, now doing some optional stuff and I’m getting destroyed.

Have you beat a?Spoiler:
