No Rest for the Wicked

No Rest for the Wicked

Whoever designed the Sacrament Alchemist quest section - You need help.
Overall it's a neat idea and I was fine with it until the second section after getting the flower buff. With a locked camera some of the jumps are very difficult to determine correct direction, and then after a particularly difficult jumping section, not only are we not rewarded, but we face a new enemy type that has extremely devastating knockback attacks likely requiring several attempts.

Having to do that jumping puzzle over and over just to learn how to fight this enemy is beyond punishing.

At least have a subtle glow on the platform you are jumping from to indicate the proper direction. Having to try to discern depth without shadows and with the psychedelic effect is very straining on the eyes and frustrating to try and navigate over and over.

Completely agree with you. It is so annoying

Could you help with the quest?

I am stuck in the area after fireball throwing enemy. I go further, kill two enemies, turn right and find myself on pillar above potion seller's fireplace. There is nowhere to go further. I see the edge of cloud wall to the right, but it seems impossible to jump and grub it. All attempts ended with my death

Now I broke all of my equipment attempting to find a way further.

Here is screenshot of the place

I touch the flower and head back to the potion seller just to have his area blocked by a impassable wall? No idea what to do... have been stuck for about 45 minutes :)

I'm pretty sure you jump to a hidden platform to the right.

That whole cave was absolutely horrible. Ranged enemies in place where you can not reach them. Hit detection that is very wonky and almost forces you to dodge their projectiles because just walking/running away does not seem to work.

The section with flower buff was absolutely worst. First of all, the on-screen effect you get from the flower instantly started to irritate my eyes. If you die, you have to back-track to the flower again and than have a long walk along narrow pathways with gaps where any misstep will be your death. All with that horrible visual effect blasting your eyes. Rinse and repeat this a few times and you might want to smash something.

It seems that you need to run along the top edge of that rock, and your char will jump automatically. But be ware that what follows it, there will be an upward path with a few jumps and ranged enemy on the side. When you pass this jump and a few more curves, and reaching an upward path, keep sprinting until you reach solid ground
