Escape the Northeast dude, repeatedly. If you think you aren’t getting enough per try, and/or think it isn’t giving you enough challenge, up the difficulty.
by northeast dude, you mean the swallow struggle pred, right? Yea uhh, hate to tell you but they patched that in 1.9 by inverting the point gain and making swallow struggle only give one, but having normal struggle give two, that doesn't really work anymore.
