With so many weapons, armor, talismans, spells, 'Arts of War,' and 'Spirit Ashes' to collect, the potential battle strategies you can utilize are numerous (which happen to be just as plentiful are the enemies you'll run into). It may be worth it to explore this area for items and resources while avoiding enemies (akin to the King’s Bounty games), but it would be wiser to explore a different, more appropriate area. For example, to the east of the starting area is 'Caelid,' which contains some strong enemies, especially for the early game. On a related note, be aware of the enemy's prowess in the area. The exploration will serve to increase your combat prowess via encounters and leveling up.Īdditionally, extra exploration will help you come upon new tools for combat that could increase your chances of victory against a tough boss you just couldn't beat.

If (more likely when) you get stuck, be it a locked door or a tough enemy counter (most likely boss), don't be afraid to head back out into the world and explore. While your 'Tarnished' will always rise back up after defeat, repeatedly throwing yourself at the problem that got them killed beforehand may not be the best solution.

There is really no need to be a masochist in this game.
