You have no idea how much trouble I had to go through just to get through the Cursed Cave. At this rate, the kid gloves come off.
Aside from the Skeleton and the Neo Amazon (who you can use the Upper Swing against), you can also face the Bad Bra. (Bad Brother) Keep backing away, and when the Bad Brother execute the shoulder tackle, turn around and whack him, then keep swinging with the Upper Swing and he will go down.
Desert Pyramid
The sand dunes to the south of Sand Marrow are your next destination.
The snakes slowly come after you, while beetles will go in and out of the sand. The Chicken Legs attacks with its tail. There are scorpions that shoot fireballs, too, but you won't be dealing with them at all if you know what to do. Instead of going into the pyramid, go up. You'll find the treasure: a key.
To the west of the pyramid as well as the desert itself is the town of Southwood.
Southwood
You'll hear about a forest on the other side of the nearby cave from the villagers. Another villager, should you have the Key at this point, will tell you that the pattern on the key is also found in the nearby cave. You'll soon find out that you'll need the Key in order to move out to sea and get elsewhere.
In this town's training room, you'll face a Bad Bra. (Bad Brother) Keep backing away, and when the Bad Brother execute the shoulder tackle, turn around and whack him, then keep swinging with the Upper Swing and he will go down. Winning here nets you the Super Swing, which allows you to do more damage by holding Up and pressing 1 while on the ground.
Your next destination is the cave to the west.
Cursed Cave
This cave is the first real test of your ability to play this game, so you need to come in here with full health and with the maximum of 31 vases if you are to have any chance of survival.
The skull heads that tumble down the stairs can easily be destroyed with the Super Swing, while the spiders that shoot four fireballs downwards can easily be downed with the Jump Swing. You can easily avoid the spiders' fireballs if you are directly below them.
Despite its appearance, the green water does not harm you. It also moves you around, so you can use the water to get over the low ceiling in one part to get to the end.
The red hedgehogs attack just like the gray ones.
Holes in the wall shoot slow-moving arrows. Watch out.
If you have one foot off the edge and the other on, you'll have a good chance of clearing gaps where the red hedgehogs will be.
If you need to, use the Thunder magic to clear the screen of enemies and projectiles.
You'll meet the Knight for the first time after you leave the cave. Wait for him to stop and slash at you - which he will fail at miserably. After the slash, walk up just a little bit and execute a Super Swing, then get away. Keep doing this until he falls. You can also see the Neo Barbarian as a normal enemy in these parts.
Northwest of the cave is the town of Brookhill.
Brookhill
You'll hear about the Maze Forest to the south from the villagers, and that you can get lost in there if you're not careful.
The soldier in the middle of town will give you a Compass if you talk to him. Take it.
The inn here costs eight magic vases.
The old man near the training room will tell you to search under a tree far to the west of the Maze Forest.
In this town's training room, you'll face a Knight. If you have faced them before outside of the village, you'll know what to do here. If not, wait for him to stop and slash at you - which he will fail at miserably. After the slash, walk up just a little bit and execute a Super Swing, then get away. Beating the Knight will give you the Tackle. Double-tap left or right to run, then press 1 to perform a shoulder tackle. By learning this move, you'll also learn how to run.
