Playing nightmare I want NOT hotter deadlier rocks ...
... but I want Hotter enemies and hotter NPC's
Now seriously, I didn't though set the difficulty lower make it soo much easier to reach that chest and survive, I didn't though it makes a hug difference ...
Plus I, so far, never must lower the difficulty because of an fight/battle I can't win on nightmare after more than 3 times ...
But next times I try that chest again and hope for the best healing potions ...
(and set the difficulty on casual)
To be honest I like that Temple of Doom much, but I find it very sadly this Temple is a one way trip ... after the first part with poison going to the room with the Dragon Statue I CAN'T go back & come back (later) ...
