Too few Animal Skins

[Terrigood]

Seriously, I was trying to level all of my Harasser gear to 10, and around Chest 10, Boots 3, Pants 3, the map just ran out of animal skins, and the Nature Whistle just gave up. Maybe add some more Animal Skins to the map?

You're not supposed to need level 10 equipement to complete this map but yeah, it's still probably lacking a bit of animal skins.

Since this post, I learned how to Shrine-hop, and once you get the movement speed charm, it's not too difficult to pull off. I've just taken to buying the Harasser gear later in the game.

...also I've beaten the game numerous times with the Sword, and it just sucks. With the crossbow, you can just run up to a monster's face, shoot once, and unless it's a boss, it will die instantly. You can just shield your way up to a banshee's face and take her out before she gets a single damage tick. With the sword, even though it seems like that strategy is better-suited to melee, you're just screwed.

Now my record with the crossbow is 9:54, though I suspect I could drop down a few bow tiers and still beat it handily.

Sword is far superior for vast hordes of enemies but do not expect all weapons to be perfectly balanced. You can expect though to see achievements pop for a lot of weapons, even (especially) the harder ones to play.

Uh I use the same strategy with the sword and it does work for me? I usually conecentrate on leveling the sword and the attack speed boots as much as possible. Pop the shield before stepping into the damage aura and just run to the banshee and whack away. She should go down without you taking any damage. Maybe you just need to level the sword more?

Oh, yeah, I did figure out that strat pretty quickly - it helps if you have a feel for how fast the banshee's aura ticks, and then attack right after a tick. The sword, oddly enough, is my favorite weapon now.

I think you should ad some respawning of resorces. Let's sey after 80% of all resourses of one kind run out, some new respawn!

Also the monsters that drop souls, you could ad somo kind of respawning of them when you intearct with something like a grave or a bulding.
