Hi people, trying to keep this thread alive, there are some secret roms that aren't showed in the map of some areas which hide cool stuff like weapons or accesories, if I recall correclty the Cursed Claymore (that slow your movement speed and decrease your defense but greatly boosts your damage) is hidden in the Castle Ruins, and the Ghost Sword and Shield (that lowers your HP to 1 but doesn't use stamina while shielding) is hidden in the Giant Cave. To get the Protector armor (10% damage reduction) and the MagShoes (invulnerable to falling damage) you need to defeat (it's not a boss) the gray knight that's in the first level of the warp orb from the Fortress, I recommend you to use the spear and carry items that increases your stamina or stamina recovery, dodge his attacks while being half stamina and run to the edges of the level to full recover and keep attacking while shielding. Oh I forgot, you may use your bow and shoot arrows to some suspicious walls, if the arrows goes through, it means that you can go there and maybe find something cool, for example, the rusty keys. Sorry for the weird englando, not my native language, greetings from México!
