On the second week, I start slowly getting going. I take one external dwelling of hydras, clear the pre-Dragon Fly Hive, and get closer to the sword and wings. I notice a level 5 hat too late, having already run far away from it. The opponent, of course, saw it and took it. After that, the game makes little sense, since everyone and their mother is flying, jumping, and TP-ing there. After struggling for a couple of days, I realize how grim everything is and surrender.
Thanks for the game!
