>rape the early parts of the game by spamming ice shard, struggle a lil bit on the cyclops but beat him>"ooh, this is fun">decide on dream as my second mastery, get the summon nightmare thing, now i have a pet following me that also attacks things>reach the cave with the 3 medusa things, absolute brick wall, they outheal my damage and kill me almost instantly, pet doesnt help much>wander around the area for a while, nothing but dead endsAm i building my character wrong? Did I miss a branching path to the rest of the game? Is ice shard just a noob trap? Is my dumb zoomer brain not meant for this type of old school ARPG? Im used to fromsofts games where even if im level 1 I can memorize all the attack patterns and dodge roll everything but it feels like if I dont have the right stats I just die and theres not much I can do about it
There is nothing with you. You just need to keep in mind that Titan Quest is not a Fromsoft game and should not be treated as such.
