Well i have been playing this game a lot, in the dar forest there is a cave and inside are bandits, WATCH OUT WHEN YOU ENTER!!!! there are poltergiest blew in a cavern in the cave you might fall through and these are very hard to kill. If you want to kill them just sit up above the wood (make sure dead enemy weapons are inside the bodies, cause the poltergiest will throw it, and it hurts like hell, best bet is use a GL or grenades to waste those polters. a little further in you will find a artifact (very rare) sitting on a table called a COMPASS, this gives you a +6 endurance and NO negative effects, hope you find this useful, i sure wouldve, i died multiple occasions, lol.

PS: later you have to give it up to a guy named forester :(, but he gives you an uped vintar BC
