Most annoying fight in video game history. Nothing has ever been worse than this. You couldnt possibly make it worse. Small room with very limited space to move, check. Multiple bad guys and obstacles preventing you from moving, check. Cutscene/interaction required to go through each and every attempt at this, check. Ridiculous amounts of damage killing you in short order, check. Fun thrown out the window, check!
If the cutscene bothers you, I think it's possible to save AFTER transforming. Not 100% sure, but maybe.
Lancet: well you can save after the cutscene, but if you are not a high enough level (22 or lower) then you will be defeated time after time.
annex: you can move around but first go up then you can move around.
first be very fast to kill the nest/dais towers before they spawn level 20+ enemy's and make you task quite difficult.
second: let zagan swollow his words in demon blood;)
use dragonshield to to make it a little easier for yourself.
to make a comment: wait until your are ready to do the flying fortresses, in there enemy's can easy do 100+ damage especialy rangers!!!!!! so with 4 or more of them you see your death very quick
first: did you read the mind of Beatrice before going into wellcave??? doing this you get 4 malachite gems instead of two.
second: on the left side of the rocks just before you battle Zagan, there are two malachite ore veins. it's hard to get to them without triggering the cutscene, so save your game before attempting it.
