I would tell you not to let the weapon durability and frequent deaths get you down. That was everyone when they started. Thats not to say to not be careful and go barreling into each encounter, but just understand that while you’ve only got 3 or 4 hearts, a lot of encounters are going to kill you.

That being said, try to scope out each boko encampment before you attack. Are there any boulders that can be dropped from overhead? Is there anything you can make explode or catch fire? Try to get tactical. Sometimes solving the tactics of a certain encounter takes going in and dying a few times. And that’s ok dude. As you keep with it, you’ll get better at fighting. Then eventually, you’ll notice you’ve got 10 or 15 hearts and aren’t dying nearly as often.

So as a general strategy… focus on shrines. Stockpile those spirit orbs and get more hearts and stamina. Idk what the community’s rule is, but I focused on more hearts until I had 6 or 7 hearts, then exclusively dumped orbs into stamina until I filled out the second wheel.

Keep it up dude. You’ll get there
