Still easier than delivering the flower, tho
Did anyone else do the whole quest for the oil with couriers rasher, and then find the second oil just sitting around in the citadel almost immediately after?

I'll admit that I looked it up on the wiki because I thought "there's no way this is the second upgrade"
EASIER than the flower? Not a chance. Flower was a way shorter trek, that can be cleared of all hostile enemies, with only a small section of risky platforming at the end.
You can clear the path for courier's rasher as well, I did, the only difference is that you don't have the dream gate. Going through blasted steeps you don't need to do any serious platforming, while for the flower you have to traverse queen's garden. Also, the flower is one hit and you are out, for courier's rasher I took to hit and passed on a non cleared room by accident and still did it first try. The time limit is a bit scary, but it's still not that tight.
Edit: I already have the faydown cloak tho, that made it easier
Everyone keeps saying how hard high halls is, so I got both needle upgrades. What else can I do to make it easier? I'm expecting something about colosseum of fools level (of which I didn't complete the last stage)
High halls is less difficult than colliseum of fools.
Yeah but colliseum of fools is optional.
Yeah, but easier than the first trial or the third? Because if it's the third I'm not gaining much...
Easier than the third for sure, harder than the first I feel? Main issue with colosseum 2 and 3 was the groundless sections, high halls has none of that, so I'm not sure difficulty is all that comparable.
High halls has some tough parts but it's nothing crazy. The hardest part has a short runback. You'll be fine.
Tools. Finish Shakra's questline.
There is a way to get a companion to help with the fight. Honestly it wasn’t that bad. Give it a shot and see how far you get with your upgrades before looking for the character that can assist you.
