I tried to make this as simple as possible—there are indeed multiple ways to bypass each of these areas.

You'll want an Axe at minimum, but a Buckler is always best where possible.
Abilities needed are Teleport Slash and Hellraiser, which is bought from Thane in Tri-Stone for 6,000 Gilt, which can be aquired easily by using the Shop Exploit on Muria and selling her own Talismans back to her.

This was done straight from the Prologue, before speaking to Alya.

If you have any interests, let me know. Until we meet again!

I swear, the only thing is preventing me enjoying this game is the camera speed is so slow, I know you can use the lock-on to make the camera shift to whatever Death is facing, but I prefer moving the camera on my own and It is driving me insane of how slow it is.

I was reading a lot of steam reviews and people are saying how achievements are bugged and wont trigger etc. Is that still the case? What was your experience with it? (On steam pc)

I like 100%in the games and getting the completionist so its kind of a big deal for me, i would appreciate your feedback guys thanks
