Since we are already here for the sword, we might as well clear out the entire tomb. I also remember that the two weapon upgrades for the sword can also be found here. I must say, the sword is great and a bit of a challenge. You have to think carefully about what you do and how, and Eredrim’s stamina really runs out very quickly. I don’t think that will change, it’s just his Achilles heel, but…. so you are forced to find another fighting style.
The normal enemies in the crypt and down in the ice cave are often more dangerous than the boss himself. I think the boss is well done, but I would prefer it if it didn’t have so much life and was a bit tougher.
