Idk your thoughts and opinions on this but any new run I always do it first just to get it out of the way. There’s just too much I have to do, I have to collect two prosthetics, I have to fight the mini boss along with about ten enemies, Lady Butterfly is okay but I’m bored of fighting her.
I don’t hate the area and I like the way the fog represents recollection of memories, the rain is nice too, also the music. It’s just too much to get through and it makes me want to quit a new run whenever I do it.
From needs to do another game without fast travel, or at least none for most of the game. Nothing has quite paralleled pre-lordvessel DS1 for me
