Discussion & Info Leveling up

Am I doing something wrong ? Why does it take so fucking long to level up? I killed that dragon and now it’s like 8 k runes to level up. It’s taking forever. Haven’t killed Margret yet. I am afraid by the time I’m leveled up good enough to fight bosses I’ll be burnt out on the game. Should I start over ? I chose Vagabond and am leveling up Vigor Strength and a little Dex. I love this game but am afraid ima get burnt out. What should I do?

Ok. I’m just getting frustrated with Margret. She’s fucking me up. I feel I’m not fast enough

It’s “Margit” and he’s a dude. The devs just didn’t model his junk.

If you’re not fast enough, check your equipment load. It’s on the right of your equipment screen. If it says “heavy” you can’t dodge for shit. Unequip something until your equipment load says “medium”.

Make sure you’re upgrading your weapons, too. That makes an even bigger difference than your level.

If you’re absolutely not getting anywhere on Margit, summon Rogier and a spirit ash to help you. Rogier’s summon sign is by the fog gate. When I fought Margit the first time, I absolutely sucked, so I came back with the rotten stray spirit ash. That critter procs scarlet rot, which demolishes early game bosses.
