really? didnt feel that way for me. i only died one time, though to be fair i did summon an NPC in my second attempt. i dont care about guilt/shame in doing that in a game like this
im probably gonna stay in that area and grind so i can buy more of the twinkling anite, which is the ingredient used to upgrade a lot of the equipment i have. i just got my black knight sword to +5 which appears to be the max, but now im considering switching to the black knight greatsword. it has better strength scaling. like i said in an earlier post, the most satisfying feeling to me is to smash ers with a big weapon, more so than poking them with quicker swords.
