I just think it would be cool to stab a guy and then angle him off of a large building

I think if you can throw a dude 4 ft diagonally instead of 4 ft directly back, it will ruin the epic gamefeel. It'll make me emotionally disengage from the cinematic experience.

Fighting rom in a basement is much more difficult

I felt the opposite. you can just use the pillars to hide behind during his ice shard attacks. you do have to kill all the spiders though cause they pile up in the small area unlike irl rom

I didn't kill any spiders in the indoor fight because I was way higher level than when I first fought rom and if you just focus on her you can beat her in about 30 seconds

Tips for indoor room: don't use lock on, learn the audio cues for off screen spider attacks, use beast pellet, ????, profit.

Insight makes you more susceptible to frenzy but that's it in terms of difficulty, it does other stuff to how the game world looks and you can hear bosses whisper to you at really high insight iirc

If you do hemwick charnel lane before Amelia while it's still light out, the shadow women giant things don't spawn outside of the actual boss

higher insight will also make enemies and bosses more difficult, it adds moves to their moveset that they dont do at lower levels. I think around 15 or 20 is when they start to get tougher. and yea chikage hunter is super tough, I've died more to him than gehrmann.

Idk what they're called but it's the guys the witches summon during the fight. They will spawn in all over the freaking place and make the area slightly harder, think it adds 5 or 6 of them to the level

It's the black tall scythe ladies the witches spawn during the boss.

There are a few spots in hemwick that spawn them as a one time thing.

The worst part is that one spawn right at the top of the elevator shortcut, so if you go up that elevator a soot monster will spawn and begin attacking you as soon as the elevator reaches the top. Freaked me out when it happened. There will also be an amygdala at that elevator who will grab you during night time

The specific ones I remember are in that clearing with crows at the top of the areas elevator, and inside the barn on your way to unlock the metal gate

Yah, if it's night and you hang out by the bottom of the elevator it will show up.

I'm at the first lamp in nightmare of menses and I can't go ten steps without getting frenzied. Should I dump some of my insight?

Edit never mind apparently I can just run through

Actually they do, they just spawn when you have 20 insight which you probably wont before you beat amelia unless you ng+

other than a challenge run, i don't think you get anything from insight other than slight variations on enemies and being extremely vulnerable to brain ladies. buy some bolt paper d00d
