Aloha,
The difficulty on medium is far to high. The recipes are difficult to fulfill when players must beat very difficult enemies with such terrible defensive abilities. Ive learned how to perfect block consistently, Im using a full set of grub armor and a mosquito rapier. The ladybug can 1 shot me, Ive only managed to kill 3, two didnt drop another head to create lady bug armor set. The wolf spider is IMPOSSIBLY hard. Ive used acorn armor and grub, by far grub is better for keeping up the stamina, the wolf spider attcks much too quickly to perfect block consistently, I can perfect block every single attack animation, but when he does the 123, delayed 4th. It always stuns me even if I block, then die from 1 shot on the delayed fourth, full health. The only way is to perfect block all three of those hits and then block the fourth. Even a single scrape is too much dmg from poison, i will die before fight is over. Smoothies are useless. Antclub isnt working, you must perfect block every hit, which is unbelievable. The block on antclub lets hits through, and you die from poison. I will not play on mild, Im better than that. But this needs to be dialed back. Its far too hard, even a good player will be having trouble. I already have parry master lvl 3 and I havent even built a base or got a set of armor beyond grub. Im a console player, On xbox.
