there are plenty of non-tedious options imo and it seems like you're just choosing to do the most inconvenient thing for no real reason.
I have to plead stupidity, then. When something fires at me, I fire back till it stops.
I’d never noticed the subtle clues about how to avoid the glowing statues in the druid grove. Morons like me might be why a glowing deactivation button was added during EA.
I’d never thought to throw sussur flowers at the base of the arcane towers, either. Getting enough for each tower requires killing the hook horrors, though, so I don’t know how much easier that is.
