Any tips for the Wolf Area?

[Negative Space]

Playing along, I reach some giant wolf that tells me I need to kill 3 keepers. Okay, cool. Only, this feels like a massive difficulty spike after this point. The wolf gaurds are easily dealt with, but the keeper themselves are absolutely destroying me. The one time I somehow beat it, Im suddenly somewhere else and absolutely flooded with enemies on either side. It's rather...rough. And, perhaps I'm being foolish, but I'm also making my first playthrough magic-free (metal and magic? Pshaw!). So, anybody have tips to get this section easier? By the way, I have the steel sword and ice axe only.

Send back projectiles to enemies, basic skeletons only needs one to get stunned, once that's done, decapitate all you can with a single blow, the only real threat you should have to face are projectiles and wolves. The axe is good against wolves warriors so whenever your attacks will hit one, switch to it, otherwise I find the steel sword to be better for both projectiles and skeletons.

The big floating stone like guys ? I got rid of them by parrying their attacks, but the timing is abit akward ... The safest way to get rid of them would be charged attacks, and dodging right after to avoid getting hit.

If we're talking of the same enemy that is.

yepp, difficulty spike is enormous here.... but I find keepers (yeah, spoiler alert you need too kill 1 more before save point) not very tough, charged attack + dodge x3 is all you really need.

Thanks for the help then. I've gone on to finish the game, magic-free! Now to do no damage boss fights...
