I thought I missed something too because I found the abismo terrible!!!! In fact, I played a few times with this game. I followed the strategy guide. At one point, I didn't understand how I could miss the poisoning spell; I didn't know where I could learn it. Also, I couldn't win the last battle in the arena so I didn't level up much and won stuffs. Now it was time to enter the cave of the abismo where the creatures where difficult. Had to use a lot of spells to win, too much for my own taste... Never finished LF in fact, but with the guide, it is not that hard... And you can always level up because the opponents keeps reappearing! Not in EC.
First, I would agree the battles in this game are some of the most challenging Indi has offered and I am playing on Normal.
Jack had the poison spell from the beginning and I think he got it as a result of my answering the Astrology vs. Gun question? But, sorry, I don't remember my exact answer (I think I answered "Gun").
Level 3 in the Arena kicks butt and I found there is a bit of luck to not get KO'd. I did it 2-3 times before being successful. There are some things you can equip that "protect" from KO.
You should be Lvl 20-21 for Abismo, you’ll be lvl 25 when you are done. It gets easier, but with 70 Pirate Grog (what you should start every major dungeon with) you should be fine. I used Soleil's magic for healing most of the time. Use the Tameira level raising pillar when you get characters to Lvl. 18-19 at least.
The biggest trick to raising levels in any game is to make sure you are not wasting a level increase if you are only a few hundred points from a level increase. Also, in Elendia Ceus, never sit in a chair or touch a pillar without first knowing who would be best served by a level increase. Jack was always the lowest level character, but if he only needed a few hundred XP, it would be a waste to use a level increase point.
If you need to increase XP by a few hundred points, try entering Abismo, battling a few baddies and exiting. Repeat as necessary and return to your home on “Tameira” for free healing at your manor. Then use the mailbox in Tameira for a great all character increase when your characters are about lvl 18-19. There are some areas in this game with respawning baddies, but many times you need to leave an entrance/screen to activate the respawn.
I am now 1/2 way through GoldNest and it doesn't get a lot easier, but my characters have gain some serious spells that really kick butt. Yes, Gorilla4, this game seems to use a lot of spells. But that is not a problem if they work like Soleil's KO spell on the right opponent.
I hope this helps anyone replaying this very challenging and fun game.
