Nosk Question

[dman_dustin]

May I ask WHY the hell is the Shade is directly in the "boss" room, and that you have to use Jiji if you want to retrieve it safely, in order to spend the money, because you are forced to have to defeat the boss, if you want to spend it, NOT entirely sure why the "boss" was set up like that forcing you into the den/whatever

There is literally NO safe way to get to Jiji, without risking high death. Especially the stalking devout, I might have to run into/kill.

I don't like set-up like that where the player is forced to enter a locked area to retrieve the shade, I get that maybe Nosk is set up so YOU can't retrieve it easily, but there have been other times, the shade location could've been a little more generous, especially since, I've seen the Shade appear in a location I didn't die at exactly, so there seems to be specific shade locations depending on the area you die.

But Nosk isn't just some random locked area, whether it be a mini boss or a boss, there's shouldn't have been a reason to keep the shade in that location.

I think I have one chance to potentially get to a stag station, I really do not want to lost however much geo, is in my shade.

Crisis averted, used tram station to reach hidden stagway.

If you really care about the shade so much, just get in there, kill the shade, then exit the game through the menu.

Or you could just beat Nosk, since he's really easy on a normal playthrough; just hide on the far side of the platform and hit him whenever he runs by.
