Ugh, I'm off to a pretty bad start to my NGplusplus, what with me mistakedly killing Ostrava and Patches, and saying NO to the monumental, which I believe stops me from getting the friend ring on this playthrough (and this was the one I was planning to get it on). At least I have one more mandatory playthrough anyway, to get the Plat.

I finally got the hardstone trophy! took two freakin' walkthroughs. >.>

next is the unique weapons and miracles trophies. Platinum, here I come!

Oh yes, that was a pain..I had to use that bug on New Game since there were barely any blue phantoms playing.

What bug ?

I think it's the one where you can shoot the first maneater with arrows from behind the fog gate, before you actually enter it. Regardless, if you circle around the big vat of fire thingie in the center of the boss room, it would be your best bet if you choose to fight him head on.

Also, the 2-3 boss is the dragon god, and it took me a while to realise it's the same boss from the opening cutscene in the game. It was a kinda disappointing fight tho imo, especially since it was a sorta 'flagship' boss.

I cant do shit when theres 2 of them. I cant fight against one, but i cant pay attention to the magic the other one is throwing at me from the air. Once i hit ground, the 1st ne dashes at me and and i fall off edge and die. I need someone ti fight the 2nd one while i deal with the 1st one.

Well then you can feel free to exploit the bug. Otherwise, do your best to kill the first maneater before the other reaches. I believe maneater is weak to fire, so as a magician I would firestorm his ass whilst circling the thing in the middle of the boss room. You would at least wittle him down to very low health. Wiki has some good strategies tho.

Im a magician with magic over 20 and intellegance at 19, and yet i dont know how to learn spells and magics. I only have fire toss and water magic

Hmm...magic stat isn't bad, but intelligence needs some help. Firestorm uses a lot of MP. You may have to try and finish some other stages, level up, get some demon souls like the Dragon God's soul, which is needed to get Firestorm, rescue Yuria, who gives you firestorm in exchange for the demon soul. I personally find stage 4 to be easy with flame toss and a good shield.

You can learn some spells from the guy on the right side of the nexus, the one who is asking you to free Sage Freke. If you save Sage Freke you can learn more spells too. And Yuria.

Who is that exactly, and where is he exaclty?
