Just picked this up, really fun game so far. I'm stuck on the Mad Alchemist now. How the gently caress are you supposed to survive his lightning attack? When he hits ~30% he just keeps doing that attack several times in a row :(.

Edit: Oh, you can block elemental poo poo. That makes the fight trivial.

Edit2: So if you die from poison (after the source of the poison is dead) and if there are no other monsters around you just lose your salt?

It... depends. It's not always a matter of poison but some enemies do wind up killing themselves and yourself in the process (I think those slimes in that one foresty area by the Mad Alchemist do one such attack). In such cases, yes you will lose your salt although the game will tell you otherwise. It's happened to me several times in the PS4 version and it was such a pain in the rear end.

Yes, that is exactly what happened. Cost me the Alchemist reward salt :(.

It's just like a Souls game. The salt is ultimately trivial.

True, still sucks to lose them to a bug instead of my own stupidity.
Anyway, now I have a hammer that is literally twice my size. I like this game.
