My biggest 'complaint' is that idk when to do side content Act 2

[Zanaki]

I'm only in act 2, maybe halfway in the ice area.

That said, so far the main story is pathetically easy, Verso basically demolishes everything with his 'lower hp = more damage'

BUT when I go to do side content everything is a massive hp tank that one shots my party if I miss a single dodge/parry

Is all side content meant for the end of the game, am I supposed to travel back and check every 3-4 hours?

I just did all side content before story content, you cant miss anything tho so play how you want.

What side content are you talking about, The Frozen Heart? Multiple NPCs tell you it's a late game area, you aren't meant to go there now. Yellow Harvest is an Act 2 area and is pretty manageable.

just go with your gut
if you realise that you do decent enough dmg and willing to learn how to parry then go for it, if not - well then come back when you'd like to

Doing even more side content makes the main storyline even easier, so I would recommend against it, unless you can still raise the difficulty level.

I think most if not all side content is build around the idea that you get to that once the game was beaten or at least the act in which it appeared. At least that is my impression from the difficulty levels of the content.
