A friend and I are up to the godskin duo at lvl 1. Been through the haligtree already. Yes they do indeed mostly 1 or 2 shot you....just like....git gud tho😅 Fr tho. It's a struggle. Every fight needs to be perfect, every item and spell considered before said fights, prep your tears (both for the buffs in the physik and irl)...mostly use the black knife, sometimes switch to two handed weapons for staggers. Stamina management is key as you only get like 5 rolls max depending on your starter, bout 3 to 4 spells if they aren't costly, crab is your best friend, eat them all. All in all I'd give it a 3 outta 10 would recommend if you enjoy headbutting a spiked wall.
