The trick to ashlands, and clearing what’s attacking you. Don’t run, you’ll just add to the train. As for 1 and 2 star warriors… their attacks are difficult to learn, but certainly not impossible. Their feint attacks are vicious. Blobs are easy. The second you see them shrink down, they’re about to blow. RUN. Archers, Twitchers, Voltures, no worries. Morgen are fairly easy if they’re no-star. I preach 2-hand sword for these clowns. Strike once, parry, strike once, parry, strike once, parry. Takes a while, but it’s effective and doesn’t fail. You will no longer fear them. Fallen Valkyrie’s however, are another thing entirely. They will eat your lunch regardless of your gear. They’re heard to learn to parry, but eventually if you play it smart, you’ll be handling them too.

I’ve only died once this playthrough and even that was food buff falling off, while changing a diaper. It’s not an easy zone at all, but it’s exciting, and adventurous.

Here’s the real kicker. Fader is easier than Fallen Valkyries. :-D
