I have finally started a new job after a month of listlessness, but all my spare time has been sunk into Shadow of the Erdtree. So far, I’m having a good time. Lots of exploring, and have bumped off 2 remembrance bosses.

    It’s interesting how gold stake doesn’t seem like it should be that much harder, but the fact that 3/4 jokers in the shop are very hard to justify buying means most runs struggle to get out of ante 3. It’s brutal.

      ya perishable and rental jokers are sneakily very debilitating, the former in that there’s a chance your run-winning joker craps out on you in five rounds, the latter absolutely demolishes early game econ. it really does feel like you need to just restart until you get a decent joker to escape early game hell and hope you can find something in time before faster ante scaling from purple stake destroys you
