That's just it though, until recently I didn't cheat at all. I usually play a game until just before I'm ready to beat it. Then I go and see what I missed, If I can still get it, and what cheats there are and try some. Maybe my characters where higher in level than they should have been!? I have a tendency to search every corner of the world and rat-pack everything (which usually makes my characters gain levels up the wahoo and makes some monsters a lot easier to defeat) The hardest monster I encountered I think was when I went to the toadem and had to fight the 6 slime beasts. Once I got meteorstorm the game got really easy. Take for instance the serpent priestess (can't remember her name) After getting her attention I ran back out into the hallway and meteorstormed one time. It killed her and every priest except for 2 which I then easily dispatched. I think without meteorstorm that would have been hard! The hydra was too easy! I walked backwards (occassionally getting stuck in corners) and meteorstormed him continuosly. Eventually he got stuck in some trees and I just stood back whoopin up on him >
Oh well..
