Once you've played the game once you will explore the city first to get stuff, reach level 4, and be prepared to face poison.
But how many players on this forum did it on their first playthrough ?
How many found the tunnel ?
How many found Madora and Jahan ?
To save time, that would be me in all three cases. But then I've played games before. There are probably a few other players who will have used a computer previously. I'd put money on it if I were a betting man.
I insist that the first encounter in front of this entrance should not use poison, at least on the easy and normal difficulty settings.
Every new player will try to go there at level 2 and get killed if you leave the poison.
Have the undeads there deal enough physical damage to force you to use healing potions, and perhaps to retreat to the city. It's a good hint that you have to explore the city first without the need to reload the game. ( and it's not breaking the story )
Insist away, do. It's not condescending at all. And it's fascinating to learn how I play, what I want, and what I enjoy. It's nice to have someone finally be able to describe me and what I do; I've been left wondering so often.
Yes, I know, the tone in this forum has gone all to hell in the last week or so - Hiver, cromcrom, you're not the only ones to ratchet it up, but you're among the first - but please. A bit of self-awareness, maybe?
