I know this may not help most, or most people will be upset due to the fact it is late in the game. Must be at least level 24 to do this trick. After you acquire the soul armor, and soul blade, and the phoenix magic skill, you will enter a room in the world of darkness in which floating mirrors will go in a up and down pattern. Simply equip phoenix magic *can only be used when soul armor and blade are equipped*. After you do that simply launch 1-2 attacks, you should get 12k in exp. Exit from the portal behind you, then jump back in. Do the same thing over and over, it takes a few seconds to enter the room, get the 12k exp then exit and re-enter. You can level up in a very short period of time. Some people may believe it isn't quick due to the fact. 1. You need a large chunk of exp per level. 2. The level required to effectively do this trick. I assure you, within 5 minutes I jumped a good 3 levels. I hope this helps. 

 Happy hunting to all

good job on this, you have excellent detil, reasoning and an overall very well made presentation in this review and I think you did a great job of analyzing, and also breaking things down. I think this will help people and make the game easy and more simple to understand and they will get a lot of use out of this. Try to go for a broad more detailed walkthrough next time though and try to cover more topics that you think would be useful  to know in the game. Overall, not a bad job, pretty good solid detail and lots of great things to say here, keep up the great work and keep posting more helpful walkthroughs like this. i know this is bound to help a lot of people and make the game easier to play!

I will do my best. Was my first thread so was kind of nervous out as to what would be helpful, to an overall rant. Didn't want to bore people, so I cut straight to the point. Next time I will do my best to include all detail, but simple and straight to the point ordeal. Thank you again
