I seem to be stuck in the first area. When I try to go south-west, every path is blacked by an enemy, but when I try to fight I get annihilated. Is there a path I overlooked? An item I'm supposed to use as a weapon?
Hhii!! I need to rebalance the first chapter foes, so we can deal with them faster. Maybe you have not yet enough level to defeat them, so it may be interesting to train a bit and kill some creatures before reaching the blocked path.
Fighting myconids and lone ivy maidens are a good way to level up, and also is to practice with the crafting station in the campsite, completing the potion crafting sidequests, will level you up faster too.
This could be a workaround while I keep tuning the difficulty, if that helps to extend a bit the gameplay experience :D
