Cyclops’ Gate
Desert
Alien Ship
Sand Castle Interior

Possible problems you may have

Occasionally beating the game this way will not work but it is usuallly effective to replay the Dock, Abandoned Mill or the Blacksmith

Make sure you aren’t missing any relics

If you cant figure it out go to single player and you’ll be shown what still needs to be done

The Insane Barbarian Boss

In comparison to this boss in the normal playthrough this boss has stayed a lot the same but with the standard modifiers for insane of course, However now this boss is[/i] Much faster and will be literally on your back the whole fight.[/h1]

Pirate Ninja Encounter Strategy

If you’ve had any trouble with the Ninja’s on the ship level then here’s a tip, Magic wont do as much here so jump and spam W to kep them from knocking you down.

Agility Is Important!

By the time you have your agility all the way up you’ll be able to spam arrows and keep a distance from the enemyby running to one side and spamming if they get too close runn to the other side and repeat.

Insane Industrial Castle Strategy

Avoid Close Quarters Combat as much as possible!!!

On the first few stages Jump and begin rapidly pressing the attack button so your character flies across the screen swinging his weapon, when you hit the enemies a few times press W so you and the enemies gain height, eventually you’ll reach the end of the screen and you should trap the enemies in the air in an almost endless attack.

On the elevator stage go to a corner and spam arrows, Then once again juggle enemies against the corner (If you use the Red Knight use your Magic in the corner not arrows)

When you reach the Brute, don’t mess around, just resort to ranged magic attacks.

Finally the boss, fight him as you normally would. He is not much stronger than he was in the first playthrough and as long as you watch out for the ground shock and fire lines he’s kind of a pushover. You can use arrows on the hand to keep it off screen while still doing damage if that becomes a nuisance.

Good Luck!!!

Big Troll Strategy

Spam your Magic!

Don’t just deal with the Big Troll or you will be overun.

Use Hawkster as your Animal Orb

Air juggle the little trolls.

Use the Necromancers Sword for the additional Defense if needed.

I hope it helps
