The game starts becoming a pain in the Warship.
You're supposed to survive endless Sleep and Paralyze attacks while being unable to use Exit.
And then you open this chest containing a Gigas, and of course you die.
Whatever, you think.
But ten minutes later you're supposed to enter a cave that constantly throws TWO Gigases at you, the very enemy that solo-slaughtered you a short while ago.
After that part, you *will* need Exit, but at least using it is nicer than level-grinding; it feels better exiting a dungeon a few times, because it gives you a "complete" feeling.
Slowly becoming stronger and stronger in the dungeons each time you enter them feels very nice.
