So... I ran around a lot after getting my ass handed to me by Last Judge. Basically I just looked for as many mask shards and spool fragments. I entered the fight again with 6 masks and 2 extra spools (I think). And of course I had the needle upgrade. My setup was Wanderer's Crest, with Magnetite Dice, Magnetite Brooch, Compass, Dead Bug's Purse, Magma Bell, Fractured Mask, Druid's Eye, Sting Shard, and Thread Storm. (Yes, I didn't have that good of a yellow tool setup. And yes, I had Vesticrest. And I don't remember my setup accurately.)
And... yeah, she ain't shit. Just don't get greedy.
Now, it was a pretty close fight in the end. I was at one mask a lot. But I won.
Progressing into Act 2 and the Citadel, I'll have to give some highlights since it's just so massive. My current progress is Vaultkeeper's Melody and Architect's Melody.
For most of the beginning, up until Cogwork Dancers, it was pretty boring. During Cogwork Dancers, though, I was very confused, since they looked so much like the guy in Sinner's Road. I'm sure the guy is important to the story with that considered.
Uhhh... most of the rest is also pretty boring. Uhhh... Cogwork Core is the best song in the game. High halls gauntlet is a war crime.
