here are some tips:
1) the recollection room is in the basement of the church but it rotates with the memorial tights chest so come back the next day if you cant find it.
2) for the second layer of the dungeon ,if you are struggling to get the 4 pillars on time because they get removed every 2 days then just kill "ed the abject" since he is the one removing them .if you plunder him he'll fess up about the fact that he's been putting them back to scam people , afterwards the pillars will no longer be removed and you can take your time .
if you complain that the game is too hard then its probably not for you, this game isn't just another slop scene collector.
if thats what you're looking for then wait for a full save while people enjoy the game.
I swear man some people you give them gold and they throw it in the trash.
