the big thing w/ the new PVP is the password system, which seems like it will enable the MLG style 1v1 combat that i absolutely cannot understand the appeal of, but apparently is what a lot of people want.

the first one i found is c/e str/dex so idk

guess I should keep exploring the snowy area at the beginning, I died one time to the bigass wolf and then on my return found a different path and never went back

I beat it on the 3rd try.

Second Phase can be staggered savage hit pretty easily

yeah the second phase is really easy and quick, just focus on the big dude and he'll stagger quickly.

the dawning realization of what all the gross poo poo actually is hit me like a minute before i found the npc that actually kind of explains it all to you. it's such a loving cool but obvious concept

its probably a lot harder cause im doing a no shield run and im still at lv. 69 (big lols) with +6 weps lmao

i'd say sl 70 - 80 is about the perfect zone to play it at. 60 is too soon and 90+ is too late. just the feeling i got after probing it with my level 60 guy and then beating it with my level 100 guy

Yeah your lack of higher + weapons is an issue.

The DLC has chunks and Slabs if you wanna explore other areas of it.

a +10 weapon at lvl 80 seemed just about right. i can't really gently caress up too much or i'll die, but stuff is still dying in a reasonable amount of hits.

My guy is probably OP for it because most enemies die in one hit but I don't have that much health and I'll try it at a lower level with my dex/int guy.

It's definitely doable for a low level build, but there's a lot of moves to memorize. Such a sick fight tho

He wrecked me but I think I was too low or something.

The wolf packa are really excellent, the way they circle you & trade
Off is amazing even if they aren't very hard
