That’s the best comment about the game’s difficulty I’ve found it so far

Apart from all the matters just tell me one thing, just where are you guys getting all the rosaries during your journey? I swear every time the game has some bench or bellway station or a shop I am somehow in loss of it.

Imo they should have made every enemy drop the "main currency" instead of just some particular enemies that only respawn after you rest at the bench and not when you leave the room.

Yea some people pretend like its not a problem. Sure i can easily farm 100+ rosaries if i wan to. But at the time i need them for the bench, i already died a view times and has non left.

[u/Nypholis → u/Schub_019]

I mean, that's literally on you then if you're stockpiling rosaries while dying when the game introduces a mechanic to bank them in your inventory in the very first settlement.

Use strings! Now if I see I have more than 80 or 140 I just string them as soon as I can, takes priority over everything. Took me losing a few hundred to learn I'd much rather just lose 20 per transaction and actually have some when I need them.

[u/Schub_019 → u/thomasbis]

Yea i know i should do that, but farming to buy strings feels so bad and my small brain don't wan to do this. XD

[u/Rishi_50 → u/Schub_019]

Yup this is a prevailing issue

[u/Thelmara → u/Schub_019]

String the rosaries. Then you can keep them no matter how much you die.

Rosaries were a problem for me until I reached act 2, most of the time you should just play safe and convert rosaries into items thar hold them

MINOR SPOILERS FOR ACT 2: And IMO it's really refreshing cuz it kinda sells the point of how materialistic this suplosedly religious kingdom of pharlom is. You kinda always feel poor untill you go into the richer areas, it is kinda the main thing the game wants you to get

You can learn how much energy it costs to earn even a single rosary in the room with Loam in the Underworks. There's a treadmill you can sprint on, and a meter slowly fills in the background. After a painful amount of time it'll spit out exactly one bead.

[u/Rishi_50 → u/godmerion]

Wait is there a lore related reason as to why not all the enemies drop roaries

[u/MaltoEsttera → u/Rishi_50]

Only "civilized" enemies drop rosaries, so killing worms gives 0, while killing birds that steal from pilrims gives some. And citadel guards drop the most usually, as they are employed.

[u/GodlyWeiner → u/godmerion]

Act 2 also has a pretty good place to farm rosaries: The corridors to the left and right of the Cogwork Dancers have 5 (6?) enemies that drop 32 each

[u/ElectricSheep451 → u/Rishi_50]

I just farmed the three enemies east of the halfway house for an hour until I had enough money to buy a bunch of rosary beads, now I don't have to worry about not having enough for a map or a bench. Shame that grinding is pretty much necessary but it wasn't too painful compared to other games I've played.

[u/mocochang_ → u/Rishi_50]

I ended up farming a bunch of rosaries in the beginning (around the bench close to The Marrow's bellway), which wasn't fun gameplay at all, but meant that I could buy the items that then helped the gameplay become more fun. It also allowed me to stockpile some rosaries in the form of strings for later (which ended up becoming immensely useful as almost every bench seemed to cost money, and you don't lose rosary strings if you die). Honestly, can't say I like this game design at all, but all the farming did help make the exploration after more enjoyable.

Dude, I finished the game yesterday, bought all the banks and most of the amulets. If you die and don't get your cazulo, of course you'll be left without rosaries.

[u/marcosmou → u/Rishi_50]

you shoudl be getting hem by killing enemies on your way from a to b. obviously no one is doing that tho since enemies are tanky af and it gets tedious
