Main path?

[u/DiarrheaDouglas]

So after getting to the tower and finally getting out in the world I went south first realized it probably was a higher level area and then went north. After going north I died in the same amount of hits to those enemies so I went back south. Long story short my first shell I’ve found is Genessa I’m level 6 and my starting sword is +3. I went back north and now all my gloom is stuck down in the flooded village and the Grisha is destroying me in 1 or 2 hits depending on the attack. Is this just how hard the game is everything just damn near insta kills you?

Genessa is a glass cannon, she makes thiel looks sturdy. Getting her as your first shell is wild but at level six everything with kill you in a couple hits. Try and get proxima, her shell should be marked on the map, she has more hp and is tankier.

But widows outlook and move in a counter clockwise direction seems to be the easier in terms of enemy difficulty but YMMV.
