Grats on making it that far!

However my actual armor was trash... didn't have any equipment with stat bonuses, my boots were just nymph hair, and I didn't find a single pair of gloves/gauntlets. Fighting the wolf cave was very hairy because of my weak limb protection.
I actually had plenty of playthroughs where I wasn't able to find gloves or boots too. I feel like it shouldn't happen at all. But you still could buy them at the black market.

I ended up losing to Rondol... definitely could've been more careful because he didn't one-shot me. I had used up all of my healing liquid recovering from a mustard gas trap and didn't have any teleportation methods available. To be honest with the lame armor I had, I wasn't too in love with the character, or I would've tried harder to keep him alive. I was more just rushing to get further and hopefully find some better equipment throughout the dungeons
To quote Batman!, "its been so long since i had gotten that far i didnt think it through. arrrr!!!!!!"

I think we should nerf landmines. It's just practically impossible to survive GC2 without some form of fire resistance. Searching several times per step is a big nuisance and still doesn't even guarantee that you've found all of them.
I don't think so. While deaths from mines are annoying, they happen very rarely, at least in my experience. Fire resistant items aren't really rare. But excluding them from GC1 - 2 would be fine, so even if you hadn't found anything to combat mines, you'd have some more time to do that
