Similar to the Ruins, enemies here are resistant to bleeding (but this time not. Most of the enemies here deal a lot of damage, cause damage over time, decrease the effectiveness of your heroes, and some of them have incredibly high protection. Also, it might just be me, but it seems like I take a lot more damage in the Cove than I do elsewhere (Again, I don't have too much experience, but after those couple of missions I was not excited to head back in. The Cove is probably the most dangerous and the hardest location in the game. It's certainly doable, but the other areas off much less resistance and seem to have just as many goodies lying around (Better actually, since I have so many damn Crests lying around). The Crushers make me cry a little, and I haven't even seen some of the other big guys yet (On account of not going into the Cove much).

The Deep Stingers are a pain, especially with their high stun chance. Which also wouldn't be such a big deal if there weren't Shamans running around, which are the only basic enemies in the game (Off the top of my head) which can heal their allies. Geez, where to start? The Guardians, even at low levels, have a ton of health and protection, which might not be so big an issue if they couldn't guard others. I don't feel it's harder than the others, although I do always bring a plague doctor for that area. Originally posted by Redalion:Curious why you feel the Cove is the hardest area.
