My girlfriend has started playing this game since apparently she really likes platformers. However she hates fighting. If she encounters any enemy you can hear small shrikes and button-mashing from the computer room until all enemies are dead.
So far it hasn't really been a problem since the fights have been laughably easy so my question is: do they get any harder? And if they do is there some way to "cheese" them?
TL:DR: Does the fighting in sands of time get significantly harder after the first 3 levels or so and if so is there any way to cheese it?

I do encourage you to get her interested in fighting, though. If she enjoys platformers then she's probably in it for the positioning challenge and the puzzles, so show her how she can apply her skill in those areas to battle. At the moment I suspect she's just panicking whenever a battle starts because she doesn't want to die, so she just focuses on surviving the encounter rather than teaching herself how to handle them.
every enemy has a certain way you can defeat them easily, there just gets to be a lot of them as the levels go on
For pretty much everyone else get her to lock on to the enemy (L2 I think) and vault over them. Hit attack as you vault them. This will knock every bad guy (well the main ones) over and down on the ground, you can then stab them with the dagger.
For the blue guys you can use exactly the same tactic except instead of vaulting over them, make sure you're near a wall, vault OFF the wall and over them, hit attack, stab them with dagger. So the same thing except instead of jumping straight over them, you jump from the wall over them.
Other than the occasional "boss" that should work for everyone. It's been a while since I played it but I remember every fight could be cheesed.
