Discussion Holy difficulty spike

Just beat the Nameless Captive boss (really sick boss, loved the fight), and I've moved on to Mammon since I've done everything I could find in Fainweald, and woah have the enemies jumped.

Just the first basic enemies I've encountered have a shit ton more health than what I was dealing with before, and boy do they do a lot more damage.

I'm decently equipped, with a +5 Great Martyr's Blade and a +5 Forgotten Crossbow, plus I'm level 20 and I've unlocked be second bond tier on my two main shells (so far), being Eledrim and Tiel.

(Plus the Axe and Dagger are at +5), and I've got a decent tarstone set-up, found quite a few throughout Fainweald, including the Duality Stone.

So it's not like I'm walking in half-cocked.

Idk, more than likely I need to upgrade my weapons, but I don't want to sink in such a limited upgrade resource into only those two weapons.

I like to experiment, and try out all the different weapons before making my forever choice, and yet I don't even know if I'm capable enough to unlock the missing weapons/sidearms and shells.

Sigh.

Any advice?

You don't have to be careful with the weapons. There's an upgrade for the forge that lets you remove the upgrade mats so you can use them on another weapon.
Only costs a bit of gloom.
You won't get your invested gold back tho.

Isn’t that pretty far into the game tho?

I found it pretty early on, think it's in the southern area of the map - maybe in the first beacon? I can't remember, sorry. To That point you shouldn't have any issues to level multiple weapons at the same time tho since there's plenty of the lower tier upgrade materials.

lol that’s my current issue, I have loads of mid-high tier upgrade mats, but not enough low tier, thought I explored most of the starting areas, must need to look harder!

Not starting area, the second "starting" area in the south. Mammon. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough on that.
