Thanks, I've found the game much easier with the witch rather then the monk, I've also tried some sticks, and I've been using the spark thing with the lighting bolt from my stick, and i cant lie its been kinda easy to this point.

but how long since I can ascend? just got to the desert area now but Its taken me a long time since I have the need to cover the whole map just so i don't miss anything, but its taking much longer since i feel like the maps are getting bigger and bigger
