I love Wanderers Palace, after rushing through AK for a week, WP is a great change... Well, I rather do WP than AK to be honest...

I've seen someone complaining about 2nd boss Fires - one simple trick, it has a range and if it happens that you're the tank just move on his back (works the same as with AKs 1st boss and cancelling his Voidal Thunder III).

If you're sure that Tonberrys King next Grudge will kill you, pop Hallowed Grounds, and no, it isnt a gear check.
