It was ace! Love how tricky it is
Eh, horses for courses.
Right when I was done with all the platforming and thought "yay, now I can stop playing", I still had all those enemies lol
At least they were lower levelled than those in Shifting Sands.
After that I wanted something more relaxing and went for the race to find the second dungeon in Starving Sea. I entered the arena dungeon then, got the upgrade, and then headed back to Shifting Sands. But there enemies are level 34 now and also killing me
The east gate of Shifting Sands (leading to Lonely Basin) is probably the best location to level up your bot. Lots of high level enemies.
Tomorrow I'll definitely have to continue with the main story now. Of course, only unless I encounter some sand storms. But I really need to get the final bot to reach all area in the overworld.
