Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

The Rift Guardians drop Guardian Essences.

They also drop Rift Stones and Numbers items.

Moreover, since you get experience bonuses for killing Guardians, they’re more rewarding than any other monsters.

The problem is the difficulty of the strategy...

‘Usually, the increase in Rift Guardian difficulty is largely due to “field” effects.’

Just look at the Glacier Cave, the Rift on the first floor.

You have to fight with the field effect [Hypothermia], and it’s the same for the White Shrine on the third floor.

During those battles, debuffs and similar effects made fighting much harder.

But this isn’t the City of Light, Calheum.

‘Milayel, without the Heavenly Magic Circle or the Guardian Angel nearby?’

Since the conditions are better than ever, I was quite disappointed having to run away back then.

But to think he actually followed us all the way here.
