    Efreet is annoying. Luckily I killed a random monster and it dropped 500k which allowed me to upgrade my knife even higher than the fire sword I was using. I don't feel like I am doing enough damage though. It's a rather long period of time to be dodging all that crap he's throwing.

    I had a ton of trouble on efreet too.

    But then I realized that these gems drop for a reason. So I grinded posidon for Aquamarines (it's important NOT to apply them until you're ready to fight) and stacked my weapon so it was 10-12+ to water. Killing him after that was easy, I might even grind him.

    Cross Napalm is the 2nd best spell in the game.

    A good starting source of cash is the magic-weak boss in the lower right, the cloudy looking thing.

    Gems generally drop from bosses, specific colors from specific monsters. (IE a water boss has a chance to drop a water gem)

    Tip: There is a vendor in area 5 I think, that sells the badge of heroism. What it does is makes it impossible for you to run from a fight. This sounds bad, but in practice it means you can skirt right along the edge of the screen when fighting, making it easier to dodge.

    Do all the weapons do the same damage when on the same level? I bought all of them so that I could have different elemental weapons, but I'd still like to know.

    Does luck increase your chances of finding rare monsters and gems? I pumped it up to like 12 and I seem to get more shit.

    I found Arthur in the fields on the witch boss level. Blue skeleton, easy to kill, 3 million gold and a gem or two.

    Oh, man. The boss of the 5th map is a "mutant cyclops" that wears blue with a yellow strap over his shoulder that shoots out red eye beams.

    I just got that.

    So maybe the game should say "warning, you'll lose you save data" instead of "save data will be initialized"

    Because I assumed I would be starting a save file, since that's what initializing meant to me, not deleting my guy with level 400 sword and a bunch of awesome other stuff.

    In conclusion, fuck this game.

    I eve killed some guy in the field near the witch, he was yellowish, his name started with an A, he dropped a little over 5 mil.

    Ha! At the frozen waste in the 14th area, I killed some slime thing(looked like the first enemies in the game, but yellow and maybe flashing) that dropped about...hmm....FIFTY million gold. I didn't catch its name because it died pretty quickly while I killed other shit.

    I highly recommend pumping luck as soon as you can. More gems, more gold, more rares.

    Moon temple. That pyramid that you couldn't go into earlier near Poseidon.

    Is there a way to remove enchantments? Because my sword is loaded with water for ifrit but I don't want to regret the fire armor against upcoming water bad guys.

    You could neutralize the enchantment by using the opposite gem, but it's better to have multiple weapons/armors.

    So yeah, luck makes a huge difference. With default luck, I got like 4 million from an ettin. Now with 100+, I got like 180 million. Time to pump it up some more for serious grindage.

    You have to get to the 12th area, or block or whatever. Works like all the other shrines do

    And he's yellow, the game's color for earth,
