[quote name='corrosivefrost']In 2-1? The dude on the pillar where you need to balance beam across a little into the mine? His fireballs are pretty slow/predictable if you watch for the timing. Either dodge them as you go across and just leave him alone, or dodge, dodge closer, lock on, arrow, etc.
If you get stuck in one world, try another -- but world 5 is the most draining world there is, especially 5-2. I dread that ing place, no matter how strong my character is. 4-1 is highly manageable, but you need to deal with the bastard skeletons at the beginning.
If you go to 4-1 you can get revenge on the mini-boss of the tutorial. Just watch out for the manta rays.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: (1) Get a good bow. Upgrade your dexterity. (2) Get the basic magic spells... especially soul arrow or soul ray or whatever it is. It makes life much more manageable.
What class did you choose? I had soul arrow as a spell because I was a Royal. That spell made surviving in the beginning much better.

Thanks for the tips! I chose soldier cause it's supposed to be decently balanced. Though in retrospect, it seems that the more melee focused classes are much more difficult to play. The only two stats I've actually upgraded thusfar are Vitality and Dexterity. I need to put more stats into spellcasting stuff to even buy any spells. I also forgot to pick up the wand-thingy in 1-2 like a dingbat, so I'm gonna retrace and do that tomorrow.
I'll try finishing up 2-1 tomorrow, and maybe moving into 4-1.
