Whats your play time?
I'm still just takin' on the original e4 to get in some practice, I always get up to Lance but I usually lose not long after being paralysed :(
I've done it twice now though so I know I can do it I'm just trying to do it without using any potions haha ;D
Once I do it without items I'll get back on track to the main story, I didn't realise I was going through it quite so fast ;$
