The one in the snow-covered bamboo forest, right? Incredibly beautiful, and perfectly designed for an all-out fight between those two. So cool to trash the forest and smash huge craters in the ground. In fact that was the level I demo-ed for some friends this weekend.Quote:

Kill the Hydra?!? Good luck. I'm certainly not looking forward to trying that. I also fear searching for souls on some levels (Hydra, escort being the worst).
I got Soryu (energy/dragon) level 3 for beating stage 19 (I think it was 19 - first with the invisible spirits) in 1:12.
If anyone finds anything additional, or anything incorrect, let me know and I'll edit it here.
Time to get to work! *cracks knuckles* :)
edit: Couple people on FAQs mentioned that the more you level up, the harder it gets to score a 400-hit combo on level 11, which makes sense. I think someone said you're too strong to do it by level 20. Maybe with Butterfly level 1 magic?
If so, why doesn't she just give me the shit I need to do her dirty work? You don't ask the maid to use her own money to buy a mop.Quote:

I'm missing five weapons, one magic (red 3), and one accessory now. I'm going to try for the moonlit sword and use that on the hydra.
She brought you back from the dead. The least you can do is earn her some cash on the side.Quote:

Holy Staff. And it's butterfy magic 2 I'm pretty sure.Quote:

I have no idea the numbers of the stages so you'd have to leave a vague description for me to help with the ones you don't know. :p
Pfft. Brought me back from the dead. If I was brought back from the dead to clean toilets, I'd be fucking livid if Princess-shits-a-lot made me buy my own plunger.Quote:

I want this game so badly.

Thanks for that list Bio. I think I'm about to do the same as you and go weapon hunting. :D
Man, Sell some blood, or something ;)Quote:

Levelled up to 26, got the last mercy orb and a couple more weapons, and took on the final boss again with renewed vigor.
No success. I think he's impossible for me to beat without maxing out, at least. I can kill his first two forms without getting hit, but his third form destroys me incredibly quickly.
Definitely time to go for 100% and the Moonlight - can't be any harder than the last boss, heh. I regret wasting four hours on the last boss before giving up - that time would have been better spent item hunting.
