Mine is too, but if you have enough time and patience, you can beat pay of pain, it took me a week’s worth of time to beat it but I just wanted to see the Path of Pain ending for myself. I hope one day you will attempt the start of it (you would have to beat the white palace which is kinda hard so good luck for that too if you haven’t beaten it yet)

@@Ok-ok3jz I know everyone has different skill levels, but, I feel like you shouldn’t try to call it easy in any sort, yes there are tutorials, speedruns, etc. but they help you see what’s happening and certain ways you can do it, but, that doesn’t make the platforming any different and hard to execute it.

Once u start playing it a lot it gets easier. On my first save it took me over 2 hours, and on my latest save it took me under 10 minutes

@@itsmeplush I don’t think I have the skill for that.... on my main save and first try it took me about a week’s worth of time, but it was only the beginning and end that took a while the in-betweens weren’t too hard, if I ever do another play through of the game and I get the awokened dream nail I’ll take path of pain into consideration.

@@PowerRaccoonKun man I couldn't even so it I kept getting to the final chamber before the kingsmold or whatever they called it's been awhile and I just couldn't get the timeing with the spikes right and kept failing after so long I just gave up

[@PowerRaccoonKun]

@@Beast_killer. it is definitely hard, but I have the time to spend just trying to beat the Path of Pain, if I were to go back it would probably take my half the time but the whole thing is just frustrating. If you ever get back there and you have free time I suggest you watch a guide, I needed it for the end since I couldn’t figure out how to get through some parts, taking breaks really do help, when I was frustrated I noticed that I did so much worse like not crystal dashing at a good timing to then I would die right after or dashing right into the tips of those three side platforms, it made me even more frustrated so I just went to watch videos on KZbin and when I came back I actually made progress on Path of Pain. And if you do get to the kingsmoulds you should pause the game take a deep breath, and use as many spells as you can, they are one of the toughest enemies in the game to fight, I would recommend getting on top of them and using desolate dive/descending dark, I’m pretty sure it does the most damage possible if you make contact with the enemy. If you ever go back I hope this can help a bit!
