The game engine has a nasty habit of when you kill a dude you're locked on to of switching the lock to a manta, causing you to fall off quite easily due to your view focus being off of the cliff.
I can't kill those gold skeletons yet. I don't have the skill/weapons to do it efficiently yet. However I haven't even completed 2-1 yet. Still tooling around farming souls/grass.

Had a go at 2-1 tonight, and why are those worker things so hard to defeat but give next to no souls? like 9-12 souls each. I've tried all my weapons and none seem to do much more than 30 damage on them. They're not difficult to kill, it just takes far too much time than it's worth.

Niode, what weapons do you have? If I recall correctly, the workers die fasted to piercing damage.

Correct, best to use r2 attack with your sword, or use a spear or arrows to kill them quickly. Make sure to get the ones with the bags they have lots of goodies.

I've now got a Uchigatana+2, Bastard Sword+2 and a Crushing Battle Axe+1. Haven't tried the Uchigatana+2 on them yet tho.

So both Uchigatana and Bastard Sword are slashing weapons. I can't remember if the Axe is crushing or slashing (or possibly neutral). If you want to take down the miners quickly you'll want to snag yourself a spear.

Upgraded my Uchigatana to +3 and can kill all those stupid worker things in 1 shot with the R2 attack. Just a shame it takes so long to charge. Managed to do the Armor Spider on the first attempt too. I fucking hate spiders.

Gratz on one shotting the Spider. He's kinda mean when you run melee. Keep going in 2-2; when you beat the boss you can then do the special forgings.

Yeah, didn't give me much trouble at all. I just walked forwards with my shield up, lowering it to recharge stamina when I get hit with the fireballs. Slowly made my way towards her, rolled over her pincer attack thing, and kept slashing away. Had her done within 5 minutes if that.

Eh, I felt World 4 was the hardest world. The skeletons are murder, each one stronger and faster than the last.

Easiest world was World 2 for me. Using the Water Cloak and other Fire Resistance Equips/Spells/etc really makes it a walk through the park to me. Plus the Arc Demon is the easiest of the 5 to kill, once you know what to do.
