>Been farming bugs as Dutchess all day
>Decide it's my last run for the night
>Get teamed with two Wylders
>Map has weird pathing on the start, but end up hitting two gaols, two field bosses, a Rise and a few camps on day 1 so we can also nab some camps on the upper-left portion of the map (Rot Forest on lower right)
>One Wylder player desperatly hitting fire camps solo
>Day 1 boss and he drops be Reduvia's Bloodknife or whatever it's called
>Day 2 starts and one teammate follows me to a third gaol to hit while the camp Wylder rushed straight to Castle
>End up getting erd Gaol done and run through Mine for the Smithing Stone since the Wylder with me pinged it, and I'm still hoping on a Roiling Magma staff
>See 2nd Rise nearby and decide to hit it; sure enough there is my staff, and I leave behind the fire/bleed twinblade for it so one of the Wylder's can pick it up and ping it
>2nd Wylder at Castle flat out ragequits
>Get to rot forest via spirit hawk in no time flat and hit the keep for flower location
>Nail flower, and other teammate quits as well
>No idea what the issue is, but decide to solo it from here
>Manage to kill two more red eyed bosses and night 2 boss solo with no problem
>Finish the run and collect my relics+sigils

I am 99.9% certain the game would be better off if FromSoft flat out deleted the middle Castle completely from the game. People's obsession with it and trying to force lvl.15 at the cost of everything else is insane to me. On a seperate note, how the fuck do you play Wylder and NOT come prepared with a fire starting weapon? The game literally gives you everything you need to make it work with boss+shop relics...
