Just when you thought the Marsh Cave's encounters couldn't get any more annoying, you make it to B2. Most of the common encounters are the same, except for the initial appearance of Gargoyles. Their attacks aren't individually too bad, but they make four of them, which can be deadly to anyone not wearing heavy Armor. Their high evasion doesn't help, nor does the fact that there are more important uses for your Fire2 Spells in the Marsh Cave. Another fun new enemy is the Bloodbones that has been added to the Crawler encounter. They have a powerful Attack, good Defense, a ton of HP, and even good Magic Defense. The Crawler is still a higher priority, but once it is down you should bring everything you have against the Bloodbones. Finally, you will occasionally run into Scorpions, which have a powerful double attack that causes Poison, in addition to solid defense.
