    Where do I go? I took the elevator back to the "starting" area and headed down. I've come across two path's so far, one that veers off to the right with several small skeletons with a few giants thrown in, the other, down the cliff and into a cave with more skeletons (one that keeps reanimating) and some floating heads that do some massive damage. Am I heading the wrong way? Which path should I take? Any Strategies?

    Yeah I went down there too, but chickened out right before a white light gate. Which I assumed now is the butterfly.

    I went and killed that weird lighting shooting thing where the blacksmith was, and then I went into the forest. That seems like the easiest path. The boss where you go and fight those poisonous dog things is too fucking hard for me right now!

    You can go to the forest, there is a butterfly boss that you should be able to take on.

    To progress the game (head towards bell 2), however, you need to go back to the dragon bridge door and beat the boss of the under city. You then get a key to keep going further down.

    I know this is out of topic but maybe you can answer my question:

    I picked warrior as my class and I just killed the bell gargoyles. I managed to get the axe after dying about 20 times and I cannot wield it yet. My dex and strength definitely meet the qualification and yet when I swing, my character can barely stand. What am I missing? Is warrior not a right class to have the axe?

    @nohthink: You may have too much weight on you, check your stats and there should be something that stands for "equip load" and it will have a number out of a number. For example, Eq. Load: 17/46 If yours is over (50/46 or something) then that is probably why.
