Can someone confirm that there’s no in-game guide to Dark Citadel? Meaning that it’s completely normal to go in and not know what the hell you’re supposed to be doing?
That’s usually how discovery goes.
For all other things, there’s Mastercard Youtube.
If you pay attention its fairly “smart” in how it walks you through the design of all the boss elements… e.g you cant progress to the counterspell boss until you actually counter spell a static statue i.e guiding you through that mecahcanic.
Similarly you need to collect the crystals to power the gateway prior to doing the boss with that mechcanic.
And the soulwells also pop up prior to that boss.
The elements of the solution are there but its still a puzzle to put them together, it doesnt hold your hand too much.
Also use the ingame ping/markers to help players know they need to stand on a switch or where an exit is to the next area when you are exploring areas.
I think its a good base level difficulty they can build on.
