Does every blue chest have recommended levels above where I'm at? Or do I just not grind enough for the game? Rean just got to 63 and it's telling me it wants Alisa and Gaius at 65 for this one.

And is there a dumber mechanic in the game than Deathblow? I see the deathblow coming, but I don't have delay tech to use, but it's okay because the enemy has only a couple hundred HP and my last attack will easily k---miss. And now I'm dead. Fuck.

Then the first enemy in the next battle one-shots Rean from full health for 12k. WTF? *That* wasn't a deathblow. The hell happened? Got a quartz named criminal for my trouble, though. lol?

And then I'm a dumbass and don't save before a boss fight, and go in ill-prepared and get basically slaughtered in one round, and I'm thinking aww crap. I really screwed up. I've got two characters with no CP, I just got mauled by status effects, and I can't go back out and get set up. So I hit weaken-and-retry rather than just retry, and I kick the freaking tar out of them on the next attempt. I'm thinking maybe I didn't need to weaken them?

And Aria Shrine complete, along with some random vision where Rean sees Nord dudes of the past follow some guy away from the Highlands. I manage to get back without being an abject embarrassment, and also discover that I can't enter the Ancient Quarry...yet. I'm assuming I'm okay passing on these blue chests because I'm coming back everywhere again later.

Climb up the watchtower was easy, but predictably I lost the boss fight. Did not want to (weaken and) retry. Will hit it again later when I'm better prepared.
