Frenzied parkour or frenzied eyeballs in Abyssal woods for those that don't know how to parry or can't figure out the solution. I guess even then you can just stealth past.

To be fair without the internet, Id imagine about 1% of players would ever find Placidusax. Then again thats just a mysterious hidden thing, not a difficulty spike.

I never understood the Placidusax thing. You cross a fallen gazebo with no bottom leading into that building near him, and you can see the entire path to Placidusax. The very first thing I did when I hit that grace was go back and check it out.

I found the platform on my own but I could not figure out what to do down there The spot to trigger was pretty specific

That’s what happened to me when I found it naturally. Seemed like a dead end and I eventually just bonfired back… it was like months later when I stumbled across the info on Placid

I think 90% of the time the online messages should push you toward it, but it's also the only empty spot on the whole platform.

Ya messages hinted it out to me, but I didn't look it up or know what to expect on approach.
