Recap of current events:
- I ran through the forbidden lands because a) I was eager to reach the mountaintop of the giants and b) when I saw who the boss was my only concern was to keep my runes in tact lol
- I blindly explored the Mountaintops. So much so that I unknowingly entered the arena for the Fire Giant... suffice it to say I lost but am I crazy or is he a pushover? I didn't try applying any sort of strategy since it was an unexpected encounter and I just wanted to see what he was about. I chipped away maybe a third of his health before he got me but I genuinely think with a more thought out approach I could deal with him with my current level?
- Castle Sol isn't that tough just a bit annoying with the phantom guards. Also tried the boss just once and basically had the same experience as with the Fire Giant except I nearly beat this dude on my first try. His summons are surprisingly easy to deal with and he himself has a simple moveset. WellGetEmNextTime.jpg
- Went back to the Lake of Rot. Made my way down to the Cloister and into the coffin towards Astel. I hate fast moving giant enemies so this will probably be a tough one for me. Any tips?
