anyone who says "just get rivers of blood" is so out of their mind i dont even know where to begin. there are several OP weapons you can get without killing a single boss, why suggest weapons post-altus
thankfully, i've never run into this as far as i can remember. or if i have, maybe there was the caveat of "just trade weapons with a friend when you start your character"
My fate was the grandest, most brilliant of them all.
