Please help me figure out how I’m supposed to get the upgraded ice staff

Basically just the title I’m running into issues with the whole thing

The flames feel buggy and tedious to move(anyway to make them quicker?)

The lockdowns are easy but mentally draining Then to craft the staff I’m having trouble because of just how many enemies there are (seriously it’s preposterous) Then I can’t seem to get the symbols right no matter what I do

I’ve not made it to the soul orb step but tips for that would also be appreciated I know it’s really not that hard but I’m having trouble with it more than the other WW quests Thank you guys
