Grinding stats won't save you from the first or second bosses, they deal wayyyy too much damage in their easily dodgeable AOE attacks. Instead have 3-4 weapons dedicated to movement and 2 weapons dedicated to damage. Abusing weapons in this game and switching between them is a must.
The first boss is technically the hardest one due to how limited your choices in weapons are when facing him. The best choice at that time would be to simply have movement skill-related weapon at all times since dmg-skill weapoons are more or less worthless. Stock up on soul drops and bombs while passing the floor as much as possible would be the smarter choice since the boss would spawn mobs anyway. Rely on the cursed sword to deal dmg everytime you see enemies along with the boss surrounding you. Bombs are abused whenever the boss is stunned since it deals a shit ton of dmg on early floors and even in some cases in the higher floors. Soul drops are for spamming cursed sword or when you're downed so make sure to keep at least 8 of them.
I beat the first boss strictly through the Focus potion drops, because I was all out of healing for half the battle, so i got lucky there.
Wow, 8? I hate having more than 3 since they start taking up too much space. Plus the Erosion Tile comes up quite often when exploring, so I rarely even need to use them.
How did you jump to these blocks at the start? I tried the same thing and I can't
There is a secret teleporter
Secret teleporter? where?
well those are walls, and walls can be destroyed by Labrys' jump..
Alternatively, use a pickaxe/explosives to create a path from the bottom side (the walls) until the other side. That's how I did mine.
Digging with a pickaxe is the best option, I dug a tunnel around the river and then used a 2-ranged jump skill. Thanks.
