Taking too much damage...

[Rodesqa_____]

So interestingly enough I have been fighting enemies and taking WAY too much damage! Now i know this game is supposed to be hard but it seems like no matter how far i try to level I still take a large amount of damage from enemies that are early in the game. And my Healing Amount doesnt equal the amount of damage i take... IU can get hit by one monster in the game and still not have enough Vials to heal myself completely. Is this a bug? Or am I missing something?

You're missing skills!

Joking aside, no they hit hard and early on your healing item is relatively low in strength. You can swap stuff to try to get higher armor, but I personally prefer avoiding or parrying so I don't know how much that would help. You can also find ways to increase the strength of your heal as well as the number of heals through items in the world. Make sure you utilize your gifts to help make things easier.

The game traditionally doesn't have armor, but the blood veils do offer specific resistances, as do other things like passives and what not. So you can block a lot of the damage with the right setups. Leveling just makes you harder to kill because you have more hp, but it doesn't mitigate damage.

Interestingly enough Im a level 200 And im still getting owned by enemies... I got to 200 through hours of Grinding in the depths to farm for Haze. This game is awesome dont get me wrong but theres a lot to take in when it comes to combat. Too much. Im not proficient in buffs or nerfs or such I just wanted to play a game where i go into combat and fight with skills I choose. Not skills that are chosen for me. I do agree im missing skills when it comes to this type of system. Nothing Worth refunding over cause the story is solid and I love the game in its entirety. But i feel that in their effort to push towards Dark souls They missed the key element of what made Dark souls a great Game. It wasnt because enemies were stronger or faster or had millions of Skills to punish you with. It was a true Fighting game where if you made the wrong move you could be killed. But this game makes me feel like no matter what i do, theres just too many mistakes that can be made not necessarily with the fighting but with everything. Like Accidentally stumbling onto an area where waves of Really tough enemies will spawn. Being too slow to avoid very large splash radius damage. Not equiping the right blood code, or skills... and becoming a victim of the many dangerous level components. Ill give this another shot and see if i can make it better. But as it sits not this game is very VERY hard. Too much too soon.

I finished the game at lvl 121 and was able to take on 3-4 enemies in the final area with them hitting/stun locking me at times. My HP is around 3132 and my defenses are in the 100's.
