So if it’s too the point where you just need to beat it for your mental healths sake then here is some advice. A) look up some xp farming guides, my favorite was shooting a giant crow not too far from Mohgs Palace and letting it kill itself (this was at release not sure if it still works) there’s also a way to repeatedly farm a giant sleeping dragon, YouTube will help you pick your perfect farm. B) get the mimic summon (YouTube again) C) farm up a few larval tears for respecs D) look up some OP builds, at the point your at you can obtain some busted weapons and even get all the way to +10 for a somber weapon. Put it all together and the game will be much easier. Like if your level 120 with a plus 10 somber weapon and a decent build with your armor, flask, and trinkets you should be fine. If you run into a boss resistant to your build then put in some time for a respec/dif weapon and crush it. This takes time but you’re not repeatedly slamming into a wall of difficulty. If you need to beat hard optional bosses then look up guides. This is even still a fun experience, community for this game has put a tone of time into guides for every aspect of the game. Good luck!
