Hi!I'm completely new to this game, and i have played it for 4hours.I finished 1-1 in about 2 hours, without too much difficulties.But I died A LOT in 1-2, the boss is TOO HARD.I tried to use the spells to kill him, but he can always defense or missed the magic.I also tried to use my weapon to harm him, but his attack were horrible, he could kill me with one single hit.
Can anyone gives me some tips on how to kill this monster?(Excuse my poor English)

1) go up the stairs and kill all archers

2) get behind the boss and hit his ankles. Don't try to get 10 hits on them in a row,  Just get a few hits after he has done an attack.

Always stay behind the boss, sprint if you have to to stay behind him, never ever get in front of him ( especially never in front of his shield).

3) when the boss falls, hit his face...
