Questions and advice on the optional dungeon

[Unseen]

When I first got here I was kind of taken back by how high the enemy damage outputs were and just how unfriendly this dungeon was. Its about 10 times harder than the last one. But then my friend told me about dlvling and how I can get some bonus stats for doing so. Back up to my current level and the dungeon does seem a little bit easier but I still find it to hard. My question, will rolling back add even more stats or would I just be wasting my time, is there any go to gear to make the dungeon easier, and how exactly should I come at this dungeon? I'm not concerned with getting all the achievements either I just wanna see all the content in this game, story etc.

If you're using the Guardian that gives additional STAT points, and you've used it from Level 1, then you are getting the maximum amount of STAT points possible.

Other than that, the only real options are to grind levels via traversing the optional dungeon.

However, be careful of the Lich (which will be all too happy to cause a Level Down). They appear relatively frequently later on in the optional dungeon.


I believe every 5 floors of the dungeon has a special item that can be obtained. One of these is super useful as it allows the player to pass through the barriers blocking the doors, completely bypassing fights. However, it's one of the last items to be obtained.


Leveling Strategy (Early Floors):
Just keep the Bonus Stats Guardian equipped and grind through the dungeon.


Leveling Strategy (Mid Floors):
1. Equip the EXP Boost Guardian.
2. Grind through the optional dungeon until just before Leveling Up.
3. Switch to the Bonus Stats Guardian.
4. Get the Level Up.


Leveling Strategy (Late Floors):
If you have obtained the item for bypassing Door Barriers:
1. Equip the Bonus Stats Guardian.
2. Bypass all fights (as much as possible) until reaching a floor with enemies that provide decent EXP.

Also, be careful to avoid putting too many points into a single stat.

For example, if the equipped weapon already maxes out (or nearly maxes out) the STR stat, there is no benefit to sinking further points into STR.

After the next level up, the points would be locked in and wasted.

Thanks for the detailed advice man, its a really fun game I was actually surprised by just how good this game was. Its like zelda with diablo pc controls, its really amazing how they managed the gameplay.

So basically I should get powered up from the dungeon itself in time?
