Is it just me, or does soul sanctum have WAY too high of a diffuvluty spike?

I lost around 1900 geo in this area and ive died way more times than anywhere else.

no soul sanctum and the soul master arent hard

Can't say it feels any harder than, say, Deepnest. With all the enemies that like to materialize so close to you. At least they're weak. Even the sorcerers.

It didn't really feel like a difficulty spike to me either. The rest of the City of Tears has those annoying flying sentries, and the inside of the Soul Sanctum is guarded by the Soul Warrior, which is a very nasty boss. I feel if you can beat the Soul Warrior, the rest of the Soul Sanctum really shouldn't give that much trouble provided you can adjust your strategies based on what kind of enemy you're facing.

The difficulty spike might come from the the amount of platforming combat that goes on with the flying guys teleporting all over the place.

I think I had a bit of a feeling like that when I first got there. But it's been a while since that happened.

Have you gone to the nailsmith near the bottom left of the city of tears? If not the nail upgrade you can get there might help.

[sheeb]

yeah, i got the nail upgrade, but im mostly struggling with the teleporting guys with the orbs and stuff? Hopefully you know what im talkin about.

[Darkskinned King]

if its the soul twisters just use howling wraiths or ignore them they dont matter that much.

This is actually quite common for players here. I would say my first time through Deepnest was much more difficult of an area than Soul Sanctum do to it catching me unawares and unprepared.
Soul Sanctum and Soul Twisters are not difficult they are just way different than anything you would have encountered thus far.

I would just engage a soul twister and only dodge him and his orbs for a good two minutes and then start initiating attacks and dodges if I were you. There are going to be more difficult types of that enemy and more damaging versions of those orbs way down the line.

I was going to say "Soul Sanctum was a difficulty mountain and made me quit for 6 months, then I was told I could upgrade my nail which I missed, I did so and Soul Sanctum was super easy" but I see you upgrade your nail so nevermind.
