ok so. in Peglin, i can't open act 4 until i beat act 3 with all characters. but i can't unlock one of the characters until i accrue a big amount of bulwark.

uh. i've never accrued any bulwark, apparently? and im at cruciball 4-7 with the other three characters lol

this feels statistically impossible

i've always felt like there was only one or two balls and relics that did anything with ballwark? i think i basically never find more than one ballwark item per run, IF i even come across a single one.

like i finished cruciball 4 on the thief earlier today and never encountered a single item which provided it

like in case you think im some sort of prodigy who easily got to those ranks, here's how many hours i have in the game: 61.
great news everybody, i got ballwark
