There's still trouble in the town of Diligence. One of the Seven Deadly Sins must be stopped!
Benefic
When you head to Benefic, you'll find out that you need to defeat the demons there in order to cleanse the water there.
New enemies include worm-like creatures with spikes on their heads that spit fireballs, bats that home in on your position and fish monsters that will leap at you when you're close enough.
Be very careful treading the waterfalls, as they will push you backwards and into nearby spikes if you don't force your way forwards.
The blue spiked creature that moves back and forth will spit projectiles upwards. Hold Up on the Control Pad to block these projectiles with your shield.
The gargoyles will ascend a little bit before they quickly divebomb you. Be ready to strike them with an upward slash.
The mini-boss here is a snake. Jump over the fireballs and hit them with the diving attack to do more damage in less time.
The short second section has a bunch of fish monsters sliding down the waterfall. If you jump to the platforms halfway through and float to the left, you'll be able to refill health if you take to much death.
The boss here is a giant snail, based on the deadly sin of sloth. All of the major bosses are based on the Seven Deadly Sins, due to the influences of Paradise Lost and The Divine Comedy. Hold up to block the boulders that drop from the ceiling, then get up close to Sloth and hit it with the orb attack that you used against Fatigue. Sloth will go down in three hits.
When you beat Sloth in Benefic, Diligence will return to its former glory, but you'll hear a sad voice calling from the West Sea. This is your clue for where you want to go next, though at this point in the game you can take on any of the areas in any order that you want.
