I remember from talks had during some speed runs I watched that there were a few viable builds. You could do fire/earth for melee or water/wind with a little bit of earth which is what I did in my playthrough. I definitely cheesed the movement stat though.
The game is absolutely brutal if you don’t build one of like 3 specific spell builds. The bosses in this game are no joke!
I couldn’t get past that stupid forest as a kid either, but I did borrow it from a friend and beat it as an adult.
Maybe I’m just bad, but I found that you have to go water and earth because otherwise the last boss just wrecks you.
