So on my first playthrough I somehow convinced myself there was no way through the Blasted Steps and did the Phantom route instead. Phantom is a great boss, not too hard. Maybe easier than Last Judge?
I never even entered Blasted Steps until Act 2. I found the Mist, got the needolin and thought “I probably need this to progress, so maybe the Lost Woods like area?”
