Didn't mention that I finished ML once already.
However, I can't seem to stop playing the game. Wearing Troll Armor and with a bronze atgeir, I ran for the mine entrance this time instead of retreating to the beach. Bermed the only entrance to the old tower so the 2-star Seeker couldn't get to my portal. Later knocked out a couple of blocks to get to my corpse with my Frostner and upgraded black metal Atgeir and Padded Armor. Now I just need four more Black Cores out of this hole.
