Help - I cannot get through the 2nd section of Metrolian ruins - i tried to hide behind the well, but the vampires and chest still get me, i have tried to run but still get caught- can you help please+::

I believe that it's basically impossible to avoid all of the monster groups. Thus you need to fight - use Omega Buddons (you still need high level enough to survive the first round - something like 25+) or with very high level (around 40) you can beat even the two Holocaust Wraiths without spending Omega Buddons.

I know the walkthrough says you can dodge the vampires, but I also never managed to do so.
I'd suggest to do everything else first. Vanina's quest and also Khomre and the mermaid place. Afterwards you should have enough money to buy the Torrent Blade from that guy at the Nomad Market and with this you can kill the green wraiths quite easily. There's one that respawns and you can use it for levelling up. If you're patient and level them well you'll eventually be able to kill all the monsters but the black wraiths. These remain impossible.

Actually you can... I remember that I did it...

It will require a bit of observation and planning on your part...

Then you have much better reactions than I have cause when I tried it it really drove me crazy!
I guess to make it it would have taken me the same amount of time as levelling up!

Those vampires are avoidable, it's all about timing. What you can't miss is that Eternal Warrior (?) that is in the way and I think that Hollocaust Wraith that is inside a house, which I believe you may want to enter to take the chest in there.

Once I killed all the other monsters it wasn't too hard to deal with the wraiths. I just lured them out of the houses. Eventually I could open each chest.

The monsters are fast though.

Coming back is the hardest part. Especially because enemies come fast and you never know where they'll appear.

By the way Indy, that was a fantastic newsletter. And I'm anxious for that Top 25.

I guess that's why I couldn't manage to dodge them!
But it's VERY satisfying to kill them all!

I manage it..when you go to the next screen with the well JUST GO ALL THE WAY DOWN THEN STRAIGHT and up and make a dash to the green chest... and the vampires don't follow you but a ghost that be killed with torrent blade..this is my strategy and i get the green chest!
9x omega buddon is not enough for me.XD.

I suspect there are different strategies in fact

Many thanks for all your help- it must be my age I am too slow and am still being beaten+:: but I have the torrent blade etc and will just keep trying- I might just succeed+::
