The beginning should have been the hardest part, but I didn't plan my stats right and had to do 3-2 an 5-1 (the two stages full of pitfalls) near the end. The high level I reached makes it less braggable than I hoped, but I was so scared after that to screw up the False King (my normal attacks were not strong enough for me to be confident so I ran away) that I powerleveled way too much, to improve my DEX so I could skip the fight by sniping him with white arrows.

Those you find before flamelurker? Or a crazy suicide run by killing both blacksmiths? Good luck either way!
> I thought you were able to kill him.
You can, but you still get to die after that, in a much more glorious way. Here's a vid of someone doing that:

Fight starts around 3:30 and what happens after it around 4:40
Of course, I just skipped to the nexus as offered after you complete the game once, and arrived in body form.
