Levelling Tips

Reset your game:

• If you’re playing on normal mode: activate hard mode then switch back to normal.
• If you’re playing on hard mode: switch to normal.

This will reset your progress in the story, incliding in BBi (so return to a virgin pre-daimon state).

Go see Fournival in Gransis and purchase pilgrim charms, conqueror periapts alongside as many blast arrows as you can (make your pawns carry some for you too, store the rest in bank).

Go see Madeleine and get yourself a pair of Barbed Nails (you will need to give her an idol, the bronze is enough, and wait 3 day for a shop to reset. For each ring).

Change your vocation for one that use a shortbow (assassin or strider). Longbow is okay too but a bit slower.

Note: Set your game to hardmode and go to BBi. Fire all pawns except your main one (since he carry your blast arrows).

Grab all the quests for the board at BBi pier.

Go rape death at his first spawn in the first area: Pilgrim charm, Barbed nails, Impact, 4 conqueror periapts, blast arrows spam (with your bow skill that use the most arrows per shot, so fivefold for shortbows, tenfold for the long one)

Dont bother with the condemned gorecyclop, he’s a waste of time…. you need to rush to Gazer (giant eye boss).

Kill it using a pilgrim charm (activate the charm just before giving it the killing blow, dont waste blast arrows on him though…).

Once Gazer died, rush to the next area where Barroch is and throw your pawn in the brim (take your blast arrows off him before doign so…). You need be alone for the next step other wise your pawn will make you miss the next pre-emptive attack by getting aggroed.

Extinguish your lantern, activate 4 periapts then enter the next area.

Death will spawn on the bridge, make sure it doesnt spot you (stay in the stairs, in the shadow).

Wait for it to start waving his lantern then blast him down the abyss with blast arrows spam. You should be able to kill it for cheap (2-3 volley of blast arrrows) and the pilgrim charm you used on Gazer should still be in effect (saving a pilgrim charm in the process).

Switch to normal mode once you get the exp for killing death then return to the point with the *.

Rince and repeat till max level. Dont forget to go back to Fournivbval-kun whenever you’re low on charms, periapts or blast arrows.

Eventually you can also go grab a couple moonbeam gems at each reset to get some goodies (dscp rings, armors, bows, etc…) from the first area where Barroch spawn.
