That is true skirkle. Dying can be quite an inconvenience.
Go back to catacombs and get the great scythe. Its great
I am on my first playthrough as well, here are my vague tips
never underestimate bitches with torches
keep your sheild up and eyes forward
talk to every NPC at least twice
if something is breathing on you don't let it
the trees are alive
stab every chest first
kill the dogs first
learn when it's safe to attack, don't get greedy
use some FFXI shit to aggro one at a time if you can
always carry a bow and arrows
kill the skinny one first
Tried the catacombs and it was easier than expected but I still died too much and lost a bunch of souls.
I'm not good at taking two bones at the same time
Is it normal that you can't handle more than one enemy at once? So far it's always been a death sentence. Usually if I get two I run away or try to make them separate.
depending on what it is, it is preferred to do one at a time. in fact, it always is preferable.
Is it pretty much always gang rape if you get more than one. Don't even think about what happens when you get 3
I got desperate after I died and tried to rush through but I couldn't shake them and ended up getting fucked sideways
Need a big horizontal swinging weapon!
