Its only too hard if your going into Biomes without gearing up first. Takes a bit of patience. Once you get a cauldren things get much easier. Need 20 tin for that. Tin is along the coast in black forest. Usually trolls there, once you get 1st bosses power. You can always activate it and then should be able to outrun trolls. Of course you need a smelter so 5 cores at least, and 5 more for a kiln.

Actually the very beginning may be hard. Getting cores is hard at first. The polearm is good in burial chambers. Stagbreaker can be used before entering a room, that is a bit cheesy. But if you want it easier, there you go.

If your patient, you can plink Trolls about 10-12 times with a crude bow. Keeping out of their reach. Stamina foods is better for this. Troll armor will take you as far as beginning of swamp.

Always get the rest buff. Soon as its off, build a fire and sit down for 30 seconds and you get 8 more minutes of rested both. That has faster regen and 50% bonus to leveling skills.

Hmm, ill try that thank you very much!

FYI I have maxed-out bronze gear and walked into my first swamp biome just a few hours ago, found a draugr spawner, got whacked by a one-star draugr and almost died in 2 hits. I ran my ass tf out of there and I'm not sure what to do now that one of the first enemies in the Swamp almost killed me in the strongest gear I can get right now. Even blocking with a bronze buckler staggers me and does like 40 health. fml

Same happening to me, but in black forest, this game is brutal!
