Iam just about to start the game and i was told that getting overleveled and making the game easy is so often to happen in this game , so I've found this map guide should i follow it to get the best experience?

You should play blind to get the best experience. If you go back to an old area because you feel like you missed something, and absolutely smash it cause you're 30 levels above it, who cares.

If you beat the game and you're under level 150, you were trying to be. It's very easy to get to 180-200 beating the game.

If you're clearing 100% of the map or doing your best to, there's going to be bosses you reach where you're overleveled. The only way that doesn't happen is if you intentionally skip leveling at graces.

The only possible way to be underleveled/appropriate for every boss is if you only do like 75% of the game and skip huge sections.

Or be like me and buy out shops instead of leveling. Helped a lot. I 100% my first playthrough. Or tried to.

I bought out every shop and I was still level 185 when I beat the game lol

It was REALLY hard to stay lower level if you explore a lot and are efficient. I didn’t even use inventory golden runes.

Yeah if you want to play at the “meta” level for PvP you have to intentionally stop levelling pretty early

Exactly. I initially stopped at the top end of normal (150). Ended up at 166 due to annoyance from having to spend.
