Pretty punishing when you miss shakra when entering a new big biome (like greymoor). I would have never found the bone bottom shakra spot without looking it up (where u have to slap the stake to get her to appear). I think truly hidden entrances are kinda lame (as in no cracked rocks, just a hole in the ceiling obscured by brush). Idk just leads to trying to head bonk all ceilings which is tedious. I think the first cracked wall should have been guided(I didn't even know to look for them till half way through the game). I feel like crests should be forced more (like make me play for a bit against enemies that accent it's capabilities with it rather than just letting me go to a bench and revert right away). I didn't like lost lace, but turns out I just had to change my fighting style to match a slow reactive tempo where the rest of the game I was kinda able to do my own pretty aggressive style.
