Well, here we are. I've finally made it through the Haligtree area to Melenia's lair. I was starting to think I'd never find it, but then I got to the lift and recognized the area from videosI've seen. Man, the path there was fun with the absolute most sarcasm I can add to that word. Did not have a fun time in this area. I could have just ran through most, but I like to explore, and sadly most of what I found was deaths that felt cheap. I attempted Melenia once just to see what it was like (had to start working). I lost as expected, but discovered that I can stagger her attacks pretty easily, at least for first phase. I did feel like I was moving slower than normal, or at least my rolls felt slower. Is this expected?
