Not a problem... just trying to sort it all out.

One of the devs said the enemies in a frost cave were balanced around good iron gear (aka the gear you’d have right after killing bonemass) which means they clearly don’t expect you to have fire resist potions.

Well it got pretty swarmy in there ... not like they were the first cultists I ran into. I was in max wolf with max equipment, even silver sword messing around with.

Maybe it was just bad RNG for that one cave?

Hey I don't mind the risk factor and it really is hard to judge what the devs call balance considering the first day of H&H... Not saying this was anywhere near that level of difficulty mind you.

As said if I had played more cautiously I could have managed... backed off after the first set of cultists and just managed the adds for a while.. or try to pull them for a bow or doorway whacking. Not saying it was impossible ... just looking for the most logical "safest" way.

I like no death runs. This made me start over, just sorting it all out.
