I don't know about losing one of the stam foods for health in the mountains. As it is I'm always pretty drained from running up a hill every time I encounter wolves.

Bonemass was a bit of a chore, I had to roll through his physical attacks and whack him with the mace a few times then back off and let stamina rebuild. The few times I tried parrying him he just seemed to break through the shield so I stopped trying.

Looks like I'm spending a lil more time in the swamps, No biggie, I kinda like it there anyway. I'd like it even more though if you could get oil skin gear to keep out the cold n wet debuffs.
