i'm finding that after Mohg, this area is a relaxing introduction, and I think a lot of underlevelled newbs that just beat Mohg after 3 hours because they rolled three crits in a row are going to enjoy that respite.

Also as someone who enjoys the lore I like being able to get a sense of where and when the setting is (mostly pre-early crucible era dancing beast architecture as expected, but that big tunnel is draconic. Also Tarnished Archaeologist is going to have a field day with the churches showing Goddess Marika and not the ablutions-era Marika seen in the og game opening church.) It's nice sometimes to just enjoy the world.
