For those complaining about difficulty. You can find a bunch of the power scaling items that give you a flat dmg buff and dmg negation buff (permanent) before fighting a single boss. Bossed drop them too but if you can't kill one. Go explore and get those items. I think you can get to 20% increased dmg and 20% dmg negation before you fight the 1st main boss. They have these items for the ashes too.
