I am absolutely stuck on this game, maybe someone who's gotten far can help me.  

I'm in the Syn Desert, and I just beat the sand monster that sinks into the ground and you have to kill him 4 times.  So... what now?  I can't figure out the "Big stone on Small Stone" puzzle and I can't find anything else to do.  I'm totally stumped here?

anyone an idea why i can't save anymore ?

All kinds of spoilers:

The location of all of the important items can be found here: http://www.victoryga...pic.php?p=10323. This is helpful for when you find something new that lets you access areas that you saw a while back, but can't remember exactly where.

anyone knows where i can find the platnum shiield or some better armor/sword cause now i keep gtting beaten in he swalmp and i don't fel like gaining nothe 70K of XP before i level

Now, I'm only 7 crystals in, but here are general pointers I've picked up through my travels:

(Mild spoiler warning, although they are more like hints/tips/tricks)

If you can't seem to hit a switch where you are, or getting there seems impossible, you either need to go around to get to it, or it's just a decoy switch. There are decoy keys as well.

The side of the door that the color is on, is the side that the switch is on. So sometimes you have to go under/over and around the door to hit the switch or get the key.

At dead ends and strange looking places, always check for hidden ladders and break-away walls. HINT: If you duck, you can hit the ground. There are cases of break-away ground.

Head bosses are pretty tough. You have two options: Grind out a level (which I've admittedly done before) or TAKE YOUR TIME. It's a platformer in dungeons, and the thing about platformers is to look for patterns and exploit the weaknesses. This is very important, especially with Darkon. He swings his tail when he walks away, and he tends to shoot things out of his mouth nearby. There is plenty of time between attacks to rough him up a bit. Also, he swings his tail when he recovers from shock, so back off early.

All of these things took me a while to learn. Enjoy the wisdom.

Well, the dungeon collapsed after I beat it, so I can't check for you, but if I remember correctly, there is an invisible ladder somewhere near the switch that is stuck behind the wall. In one of the rooms you reach by using the invisible ladder, there is a breakable wall. In the room behind the breakable wall, there is another switch you can use.

then how do i get past that second door at the bottom of the dungeon i get stuck there every time

Can anyone give me the specifics of what to do after getting the third crystal? It's probably something obvious, but I'm good at missing things like that.

Also, fun fact: If you go into the options menu and hit enter a few times, you'll access the debug menu, for those folks who want to play around.
