the hardest area in the game

[Shrekbappe]

what is the hardest are in the game?
so far i hated the iron keep and shrine of amana

[Dj DNA]

frigid outskirts (brrrr)

[Shrekbappe]

not in the dlcs

[tivanishan]

No mans Wharf

[Dusk of Oolacile]

Dark Chasm of Old isn't the easiest either. Whenever you get some gank squad or too many ranged attacks against you (or both), you're f...ed.

[Safarel]

Iron Passage & Frigid Outskirts

[Undisclosed]

Everything with poison.
(Like half of all areas... :D)

[Vinyltavia]

you know you messed up when all the dragons are aggro.

[Kuroitsune]

Horse ♥♥♥♥ valley.

[Stryke(r)]

hardest area: undead purgatory (not meant too serious)

[Jimbos]

If it's non DLC I'd have to say Amana. I never liked it there. It's a prime gank spot. The constant stream of of homing soul arrows are annoying at worst, lethal at best. So many build can have a rough time in there.

DLC areas? All I gotta say is frozen lightning horsies.

Main game:

No Man´s Wharf, Shrine of Amana (without "cheesing" with a bow), Shaded Woods fog area (without the DLC key that makes enemies visible). SotFS version of Iron Keep is also extremely irritating to be honest.

DLC: Frozen Eleum Loyce and especially the optional Frigid Outskirts with those hellponies. Most enemies are hard to stun, resist magic, their attacks track like homing missiles, have gap closers and/or ranged attacks. Rampart Golems, frozen spear hollows and rolling hedgehogs are especially irritating. And of course we have everyone´s favorite encounter with the friendly neighborough backstabber, Maldron the Assassin. :)

Also shout out to Iron Passage, which is honestly a terribly designed area just meant to slaughter you. Those astrologers that spam Promised Walk of Peace are a doozy. I was amazed that I actually managed to kill the Blue Smelter Demon with only two tries by running past everything using the main route (no shortcuts).
