Hello there Fellow Templars! it is I! Templar Shamono and graced upon this glory too unravel this mystery of my questions!
I've playing the game a total of 12 hours straight in a day! struggling a lot, but I managed to overcome them with armed knowledge of playing the older versions of the game! but it took me longer than I thought! usually it will take me 1-2 hours to complete the first phase of the introduction in the game, right now I had my fair shares of ups and downs, a total amassed of death I have counted is a whopping 61 times!!! dear me! it really was a challenge and a lot of sheer will to get through hell!
It took me awhile to gather enough equipment as Berserker with the only available armor is the iron cuirass, well it did block some damage managed to reach through the Illfang Boss fight.
Anyway to the main point of this post, usually it took me several hours to remember that the game used to have an leveling systems, I have hunted a lot of monsters (all of them are kobolds in order to sell their pickaxes) to level up, I only just realized when I open up my saving screen and sees below the sprite of the character indicating that I am stuck in level 1 along with hana.
is there really a leveling system or is it broken? no wonder I was struggling a lot! I can send the proof later I'll just show some of my save files to support my evidence and claims.
