This region is ROUGH.

Very easy to run out of ammo. The first cave dungeon is really obnoxious with where the key will spawn.

Dragon at the end has way too much health, so much so that I have lost 3 or 4 attempts to either taking too long to kill it and dying in the process, or running out of ammo.

This route would likely be faster/ a lot easier in an actual run where you would likely already have the ammo for this as there was definitely a light ammo route in this IL
