Ska Studious’ latest Souls-like sidescroller, Salt and Sacrifice, has garnered a fair bit of popularity amongst gamers since its launch a couple of days ago. There are a lot of new mechanics in the RPG as compared to the previous franchise entry, Salt and Sanctuary, which has gotten many in the community quite curious.
Mages play a pivotal role in the title as they provide materials that are used to craft a variety of equipment. However, the amount of material that each slain Mage gives is rather limited and is not nearly enough to create some of the amazing gear that the game has to offer.
Hence, players will need to farm these enemies in the game to rack up a surplus of these materials and make any armament they want.

No hints or clues will initiate the hunt, and gamers will just have to locate the enemy in the wild after making their way to Pardoner’s Vale and returning to that same level where they encountered one.
