I'm with OP... I don't remember what level I was when I reached the final boss the first time, I think maybe 25 or 26, but damn did I get my ass handed to me.
After a couple more miserable failures, I finally sucked it up and backtracked all the way back to the main hub area of Rogue Port, stocked up on mad items, and even went through the whole contest to beat Rawk Hawk from Chapter 3 again to help level up. When I returned, I think I was either level 29 or 30, and I still had a tough time with the Shadow Queen, but I managed to outlast her.
I really loved the adventure up until that point, and the reason I haven't gone back to it is that I dread having to go back and face her again... man, and I thought Smithy was bad!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
