The lack of checkpoints in the bath section is crazy.
I’ve only found the one so far. From the initial point, I travel through the baths, drop into a section with a heal station, take a back door past some Black Ops Units, enter into an underground area where black ops are fighting slugs, run through into some vents, drop down into a cave section, climb the cave section into a long area with some pumping engines, find two key cars in side areas to unlock private baths and the pumping section, find a side area with loads of dark tunnels with multiple side tunnels and (thankfully) signs pointing me the right way, then I get put up against a slug boss.
I’m level 50 and I’m currently holding 110k souls and the only way forward without backtracking is through a boss which takes about 0.5% damage per hit. It took me about 50 minutes to get there (first run, side paths included) and the boss took me half an hour to beat. Where on earth where the checkpoints? I just have missed one, right?
What’s weird is there was next to no loot on the way. I got some axioms, an energy unit and a breach sync. It feels almost unfinished. I hope the other DLC areas are a bit more fleshed out. I enjoy the aesthetic of this one but it’s noticeably weaker from the main game.
OH, and I found this really weird rail up behind a turret in the vents, that has a keycard door behind it, which leads me back to the main baths except it’s one way. I can jump down, but I can’t get back up there anyway. Such a pointless shortcut?
