digging around in the crypt and found a candelabra -- nope not ready for a boss
explored more and found it again -- sigh alright let's take a swing
died to the forgotten king/knight/judge trio, but started to learn some patterns
alright let's go back and try again, find candelabra
oh shit who's this giant gross skourzh monster thingy????
oh well, one-shot that tool, but how did this happen?
further exploring, ahh. similar staircase. took a few tries, but whacked the trio by divide+conquer approach - the only really damaging attacks were the magic blasts from the judge, so she died first. after that the knight and king were easypants.
moving on... oh shit, the still palace is somehow even creepier. nameless god was pretty hard and i zerged him about a dozen times without getting him to 50%, experimenting with different resists/weapons (his poison resist must be crazy high because my poison scimitar didn't work, so i switched to the faster lowlander's greatknife IV). finally it all clicked and i ganked him with 3 juiceboxes left
what a wonderful game, truly
started NG+ but honestly not sure how long it'll hold my attention now that i've beat it (not a reflection on the game)
