I assume I'm missing something or there's a bug but I reached a point where after maxing my 4 elements via shrines to 2.5 each I couldn't defeat a monster by using attacks that were super effective towards it, I had to beat this monster to progress in the game though, I attempted to use potions, but they heal for less then it hits for, and I couldn't find the needed items to make better potions, this effectively soft locked my progression and ruined the experience for me as I couldn't continue
