He sure does!
Alright, yesterday after taking a break from this game, I decided I should probably move on, seeing as I only had one crystal aquired. So after a great many hours, I managed to get both the fire and water orbs. Believe it or not, Kraken was actually harder than Kary, due to his physical attacks and me not having a class upgrade.
The ice cave was a b*@# too, I had to restart because of a mage killing Dago at the very last moment. Luckily I saved right outside the cavern.
I then proceeded with my newly acquired airship to do a little sidequest first.
What? Just because I don't actually upgrade my class doesn't mean I can get a lot of G and exp.
Besides, the Heal Staff is more or less essential, else I'd run out of potions way too quickly.
I also figured I might as well get the Cube right away. I mean, MudGolems don't really pose any problems.
I stopped to grind here. Without being able to equip the Defender and Opal armor (except the bracelet) and without any magic at my disposal, this place became REALLY tough. Dago nearly died three times because I didn't have any means to properly heal myself during battle. I got so frustrated at this dungeon that I litterally began stomping the wall next to me.
I finally managed to light the water orb, and before attempting the Floating Castle, I think I'm going to grind some more.
