So I finally found the time to download WOtL. A very public thankyou to Varrok for keying me up.
I think I must have finished my last run with a Mum kill. My god, I was getting some tough enemies early, which led to me not getting past The Catacombs when combined with my rusty skill and a week of poor sleep. The first boss I encountered was Widow, who is actually quite tough and stressful compared to any of the other basement bosses. I got a stronger coloured variant the first time, too, who spawned blobs that shoot blood rather than spawning spiders.
The spiders are exactly as creepy as they should be. They're perfect. I hate them. Those jumping ones are again tougher than other enemies that you can encounter that shallow. A few rocks in bad places can lead to some serious health-loss.
I had a fairly good run going, but I lost most of my health to a room full of the new dual-shot flies, one of whom was coloured and dealing 1 heart of damage per hit. The setup of the room mean that I couldn't avoid them. If I had Technology I would have been able to take them out fairly quickly, but this was in the Catacombs 1 and I hadn't been that lucky despite playing Cain.
I picked up some trinkets, but I couldn't figure out what most of them did. Red Patch was fun.
