In DE1 the crystals change color, and the color it is when you grab it affects which stat gets boosted. But I also know which enemies to farm for key stat boosts.

Thanks for all the responses, guys. It looks like I need to give these games some attention when finals are over. I'll start with the first and move to the second if I can beat it. Guess I should start by getting to know the characters better.

It's totally fun to play/explore different characters. :)

You have chosen wisely.

.. I only beat it via DEBDE DEBDA.......
^Same here. Great game but I also die a lot. You can usually get 2-3 dungeons in before I'm out of credits. LOVE the music...like Esteban is right about the PSG tuneage. I've never played DE2...but I've got so many other games to play, it has never bothered me.

My main is the Warlock.

It's all about farming for stat upgrades. Find out which enemies have a chance to drop which stat boosters and farm the crap out of them early on.

How to farm? I thought once you beat a boss, he was gone for good.

He means the temporary buff items that go away when you die (like the crown and boots), not the color changing crystals.

But if you don't die, they stick around.

Got to some stupid tiger boss. I beat him but died twice, losing all buffs. Also, is there anything that can be done with poison? It's pretty annoying.

Tiger is the worst boss of the game...

I got all the way through in dungeon explorer....couldnt beat through the last part. Needed to stat up more....so i did the logical(maybe?) thing and cheated. I put in the password code to walk through walls and be invincible....btw i suggest doing that to see the secret ending....quite humorous :-)

I certainly intend to do this when I finish. But I want to get as far as I can without cheating.

I'm guessing the farming trick is quite time consuming. I tried to do it some and didn't get anywhere. Of course, I didn't know which enemies to farm either...

Yarr, that Tiger's a bitch.  He always eats up a couple lives.
