Boss: Big Golem
Difficulty: ***/*****

He isn't that bad if you carefully fight him. In the begining use your long distance souls so you won't get touched. Once your MP is drained run up to his foot, duck and start attacking. If you see his back foot comming at you run backwards and wait for him to stop before attacking again. If he moves away from you run up to him and then repeat the process. Eventually he will spit rocks at you. If your in the correct possition you can really take off his HP when ducking and attacking at his foot. If you do this correctly he shouldn't even touch you, but if he does he will do quite a bit of damage. Overall it shouldn't be as bad as the last boss and once you beat him remember to pick up his orb and then go left to the next room.

In here be sure to pick up the new ability which will allow you to slide by pressing Down and A! Now go back to the save point and head all the way back up to the huge room with the dancers. Then go all the way up and make your way to the nearby save point and save. From here go left and follow it by going left, up, right, and then up. In here go in the left and right rooms to pick up some gold. Then in this room make the bull come at you (Your standing to the right of him) and then jump on his back and up to the right platform. Go up and kill a few of the bone towers and then jump on top of them and get the huge potion. Now go back to the save point again, save and then exit. Now go down and this time go right. Slide under the one wall and then go to right to the next stage.
