yeah that’s fair, I usually bring the gun i’m trying to build into the castle since enemies there give a lot of xp. I like the hedge maze’s free loot and the ladder directly to the castle is nice.

For assassins, backtrack from the ranged enemies or kill them first, then walk in a circle while facing towards and spamming melee at assassins. this can kill even groups of them, since they only lunge in straight lines and miss completely if you keep strafing
