Definitely start from scratch. Help you remember what you are doing!
I've just started playing again too.
I am terrible at this game. Still stuck on Lady Butterfly (my 1st soulstype game)
Still, very impressed with it regardless.
I started playing this over the weekend and am using a controller.
I'm doing ok, but fought Lady Butterfly and narrowly lost - using 3 snap seeds in the process.
However, during a battle elsewhere I accidentally used 2 snap seeds instead of my gord seed heath thing from the quick item meni, so i'm out now. Is there a way to get more or did I just make the lady butterfly fight extra hard?
