I finally beat the cursed abbey today. It wasn't hard at all. We'll, it was originally hard, but I put elemental hail as a skill, and I was owning the competition (it slowed my computer down a bit though), and I put a point into Dread Knight. I don't know why anyone didn't suggest me putting a point into him. The Dread Knight was the only reason I could beat the engineer and he really, really, held his own against him, and took out just as many creatures as I did. Plus, for a character like me who has very little hit points, he can be used as a piece of meat to take the damage from the heavy hitters. In terms of difficulty and point of game, how hard does this part of the game rank, because if it is one of the harder parts, I won't have to worry too much about the rest of the game.
