I really like the game and it has a lot of potential. In general missions and exploration are quite simple while boss fights are excessively punitive: on one hand the limited use of healing potions is a big problem, moreover if you die the food consumed up to now is not restored. I hope you can somehow change these settings. I am quite/very handicapped and, as it is, I can’t overcome the bosses …
If you find it difficult, take a step back, level up, find slightly better items/affixes. At the same time, you will find new ingredients for food.
Then you’ll be level 30, and the mobs will be level 24 - no problem at all.
Look for good nodes in the crucible, and there won’t be any problems either.
In the end, the game becomes extremely simple and offers absolutely nothing difficult.
At the moment ofc
I know the game isn’t particularly difficult, but the boss fights seem too challenging compared to the rest of the game, especially with the use of healing potions. I’m level 15 and I’m having a hard time defeating Darak (I should defeat him); after 3 or 4 deaths I have to scavenge for food because I’m out of resources. Despite that, I like it.
At first glance they are all like this, but usually you just need to learn their moveset and improve/modify the equipment. All attacks are parryable or dodgeable. If you can’t beat them use the old “THROW ALL THE BOMBS YOU HAVE” tactic.
Darak sits down to rest very often. Wait for this moment. Then hit. Until then, keep your distance. He does a combo and gets tired.
I have a friend who also complained about the lack of food.
I ran through the first 2 locations and had 45+ mushroom soups and other food.
Just take a break and run through the first 2 locations one more time, trying to get into every corner.
The game punishes aggression.
You need to wait out their attacks, do 2-3 hits, then dodge and repeat the wait to punish.
That’s gonna be your strategy until you break the game with upgraded plague gear, broken life steal and frost buildup builds and focus gain goes up a ton as you get affixes and gems.
Because your character poise is made of wet toilet paper, even with poise potions, everything will stagger and stunlock you if you eat a hit.
So you want to not do full attack chains because these have a very long animation lock that makes you super vulnerable and unable to dodge or parry when you need.
Only do a full attack chain when the boss is staggered or frozen.
