Suggestion

I do not know if anyone else uses this, or plans to, but it has proven itself to me. We are all aware of how difficult Shadow Ruins can be, especially the last fight. When you are starting a new game, go after Naga relic, then the Draedoth Relic, Tomb of Souls, then the Shadow Ruins. By doing this, you have a quicker source of health regeneration, you can shoot caster's spells back at them by blocking with the Shield of Retribution, and while in Draedoth, I had acquired MANY great items from the chests. I suggest Tomb Of Souls before Shadow Ruins, especially for people who use heavy weapons, because after you defeat/win Voratuu's game/kill him, you can claim a prize. Demon's Steel, or Demon's Spell. Go for steel. You get a Darkwing helmet, Blade of Death, and Angelic Avenger (its angelic something, forget the exact name, but it is nice as it will summon an interesting pet). The helmet is pretty nice, the blade is even nicer. By the time you get to shadow ruins (assuming you opened every chest in Naga, Draedoth, and Tomb of Souls) You will be able to deal damage, and stay alive abit easier. Also, the Gas Mask in the Naga Temple is valuble even after you get the regen relic, so keep that around. Another plus to doing the places in this order, is you can complete quite a few quests as you follow this path. Tier 2 promotion perhaps, tier 3 for sure and access to Tomb of Souls as you enter Vale of Ruins (unholy arc is there)
