The designers that designed this particular version must have a fetish for hounds and dogs...everytime I turn around I run into Light Hounds or Gravity Hounds or any of the others.......I can't stay unblinded long enough to be able to fight them that I end up dying.... Is it just my imagination but a few versions ago I don't seem to remember this many hounds in the game, sure they were there but they didn't come off like plague status....sheesh
