I kinda don't have a lot of time to play, I already have 40+ hours in OT2 and I have not even beaten any chapter 5. I'm currently stuck against Dolcinea phase 2 she is completely beating my ass. I really hate that levels don't matter at all in this game because everything is so damn expansive and I'm broke af and I don't have the energy and time to spend even more hours into grinding money.

This game is good even if the writing can be quite childish, I really just want to see how the late game story unfolds but instead I'm just stuck here

I'm playing through the game blind, I found myself stuck in basement 3 of the first shrine. I have not rescued Feena, don't have mask of eyes, can't even open chests, I am stuck in a loop of teleportation with the statues. My last save is within basement 3.

Is there no way out other than restarting the game?
