Forge of Xshathra is a horrible level

[Count]

Skeletons, fighting on stairs, platforming, and hardly any potions aside from the ones the knights have and drink before you get a chance to stop em. Good god, what were they thinking with this level? I love this game to death but this level sure takes the wind out of the sails.

[persy]

It's also the first time you encounter stone axe minotaurs!
I guess they were explicitly going for a really hard level, and it works well if you save it for the last pre-Ianna level to beat. But going oasis->forge BEFORE Shalatuwar on your first playthrough when you don't know what you're getting yourself into... that's bad news

[PALPUS]

There are plenty of potions. You just have to search around. Use Power Potions to kill the minotaurs. Try to make use of combos and use Queens Sword if you have no potions for healing left

Always makes me sweat. The enemies are very easy. It's falling off and getting fried you have to watch for. I never take the full knight armour. I'd cook inside that.

Pretty hard, indeed. But it has knight final armor! Lots of secrets and hard to access areas!

Try to kill black knights without taking damage, or allowing them time to consume their potion.

Minotaurs are a nasty piece of work here. Quickly jump backwards whenever they start swinging, backwards and sideways at the same time. Unleashing quick combos from behind them while they are picking up their pace, works well. Or, trapping them between narrow pillars, such as the one you fight right after jumping over lava at a new big room with stairs.

You can manage! Some enemies might die all by themselves, being burned by lava, or accidentally falling down while running at you.

I'm currently making a No-Hit game and I agree Xshathra's hard as ♥♥♥♥ xD

heck! you are complaining??!!

i encountered a bug there that made the level insanely more difficult.

I could not drink any potions in the inventory. reloading save did not work, restarting level did not work. restart game or pc did not work.

And i was so smart that i hadnt made a second safer save for the knight yet...

it was a special experience i tell you lol
