1/3 Goals: Temple Trekking Finished

As a kind of response to Trifectious,

And...

+ more Talon Beast Charms, summing 300 or so. Probably a decent amount more herbs too.

Those are Ghast scrolls which are amusingly still upside down, as is the pouch.

Hard to say where I started, although I think it was around lvl 50 for both the little girl and old man (with the 4 others maxed).

Definitely recommend only skipping snakes/snails/bogs/Mort'ton. Everything else is quick fodder. Juvinates and Vyrewatch are easily the quickest to kill with Blisterwood Polearm. In fact, I wouldn't even do this without it.

At first I was only rushing easy path everytime for Smiddi (little girl) but it became apparent that she could survive everything but snakes and snails, and even those sometimes, making it better just to go the hard route.

The old man can see ahead at a low level so I'd been simply skipping combat events because he Rambos. I switched to just accepting the first do-able event (as in going hard, then just going ahead if it checks out, whether it's combat or not) because it's much faster.

Rapier/Polearm, DClaws, Bandos, Turm, Ext, [iron] Titan. The usual, here.

Also Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City sucked, once again reminding me that no matter how good a game looks I should rent before I buy and absolutely never, ever preorder.
