I beat up those same three lobsters over again. Their insane defense means they really deserved it.
In all seriousness, all I did was try a different route. Changes begin just before I do my Arm Strength training. I pick up a Sword of Flames in order to kill a few enemies, one of whom has a Blade of Muramasa. Right along my path, too! Faster by almost 900 frames to do that than the lengthy route to that chest in the older WIP.
No progress for 5F and beyond, yet. I claim it'll be soon, though!
