Difficulty spike ?

[poca]

Since I reached the Dualist and Monoco, the difficulty just skyrocketed.
Almost everything can one-shot you in a single combo.
Is it the same for you guys, or is it just me being underleveled or messing up my stat distribution?

If you enter a new area/map and it does not say in big red letters 'DANGER' you are not under levelled and it is a stat distribution, weapon choice, skill synergy etc.

If it says danger, you are under levelled but it can still be possible, it is just much harder.

Also when stuff feels very hard try not to parry every attack. Dodge is much easier to avoid damage. The fight might take longer, but is is easier.
