I have two files, first one I tried Legend Day 1, got roasted by Firebrand(pre magic), lowered it to Knight, had trouble getting through the 2nd half of the Graveyard stage. The magic/thunder invincibility was clutch to dodge Firebrand's tackle that is so good. I had to lower it to Squire and ultimately got to finish 3 stages(Both Stage 1's and the top Stage 2).
Wasn't happy so I wanted to re-go at this with Legend.............BEAT Graveyard in under 2 hours but the bottom level Stage 1 is ridiculous, particularly the 2nd half of the level. I get up to the Waterfall part and there is too much shit going on, from the tentacles that take up half the screen to the plants that shoot pollen pellets at you(There like like 6-7 throughout) to the pitfalls that surround you, I got past it ONCE only to die to the pig crew that chases you down.
I think the game is good, just wish the mechanics were even steven. Enemies can shoot through hard wood/platforms, but you can't. When your turned into a frog, you can't hurt enemies but when you turn them into frogs, they can hurt you. I know GNG is RNG central so I know I die different ways because but those were some of the infuriating parts I noticed. You are riddled with so many item drops in the 1st half of 1-2 but the 2nd half? Zero drops along the way from the route I am going, thankfully I have the dagger but the dagger is limited vs the tentacles as they have specific hitboxes that the daggers don't always penetrate due to the armor the tentacles also have.
Have yet to get Golden Armor in Legend Mode, I guess you can't. Even at full health I get either wizard chests drops or shit point drops. Between these stages I have been at about 6 hours, not one golden armor. Brutal LOL.
I am so torn on either staying in legend mode or dropping it to Knight mode. I just know the amount of enemy spawn changes and I guess you can get bonus stages in this mode? I am proud I did the Graveyard stage in Legend mode and did half of the bottom level. Maybe with better magic I comeback to that and go after the 2's?
I just don't feel satisfied doing this in Squire mode which isn't too hard for me.
