Me and my girlfriend made it to the boss of the fire tower, but got our asses kicked. We decided to power up by playing through the earth tower in the mean time, but had a lot of trouble with the map layout - it's really hard to find all the switches to clear the floors in this place!
I beat him first time. He's not difficult if you stick to a pattern. Stay far at the back and strafe left and right to dodge his bullets , if you're the elf then you should be ideal for this. He takes a while. Don't try blasting away at him, just get a single shot in , dodge, shoot, dodge shoot and repeat. After about twenty shots he should die. You can only hit his head.
Make SURE you have the ring you found equipped though as the tiles in the boss chamber will drain your health otherwise.
I'd do the Water Temple next if I were you since I believe they go in order of difficulty based on the colour of the torches in front of the castle.
I'm doing that one right now, been having some issues with floor 6 where the teleporters have to be entered from a certain angle to escape the room you end up teleported into. I've had to Warp wing out of the dungeon a few times as I became trapped in one of the rooms, however I've now found all the tiles on that floor and also upgraded my shot power to the third upgrade. I have about 2500 health to start with now as I've been boosting stats with experience.
As for the rings, perhaps they are found in the other dungeons as the Heal Ring was in the fire temple.
Did you get two heal rings for playing in 2 player? If not, maybe that's why there is an option to buy more as you can have up to four players playing in Quest mode.
I suspect this may be harder in 2 player mode because his movements aren't as predictable as he fires at different people and there's less consistency in his pattern.
Any luck on the other temples? Does it get any easier to make money? Those 20000 gold rings seem completely impossible to get right now.
