well, throwing me into the middle of a battle with no real instructions (ok, maybe there are some but I didn't exactly read the sheet it came with) is usually pretty hard. I mean, I got plenty of hits/combos in, I just expected him to die a little sooner than over 10 minutes of whacking at him, and my son was crying so I let myself die (I had more potions so I could have survived). Also, the group of tiny dinosaurs attacking me were really annoying.
I'll try the tips above when I try again.
