A few tips for the water place; if you have lots of medals on another save then you can enter the secret area on the boardwalk, when you enter the battle just flee and you won't have to bother with it. The God Hand for Lance can help a lot here, as it has a bomb element and drains HP. Also, when you get to the bit with the pirates, there's a magebird at the bottom of the screen. You can skip him, as you can open the chest through the bush.
@Roland1995 You don't have to be so attention-grabbing, if you really want the developer's attention you can leave him a shout. Don't bother us with your "Vote +" rubbish.
beta'd this for a while on DeviantArt, then Matt said on the EBF3 Facebook that it was out on Kong and I was like YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH I LOVE YOU MATT!! :3
it sickens me to see that people actually click + on comments that tell them to. If you want to state your opinion, do, but don't be an attention-grabber. Personally, I will press - on any such comments. I implore you, members of Kong, to do the same.
