It is highly recommended here that you go on a few sidequests, a lot are available at Dud Services, which (for a fee) will give you a task for you to return to an area you have already been. There are also Tess' and Jinn's sidequests to do, which give you levels, armours and money which is a good thing at these early stages in the game.

Boss: Galem[edit]
Make sure you've mastered that whip, because you're definitely going to need it. Galem is a big floating eye surrounded by other little floating eyes and looks a bit like a boss from a Legend of Zelda game. Unfortunately that strange mystical power that surrounded the last boss surrounds this one. Luckily for you, this time the holy sword will lend you its power so you can defeat it off the bat.
Use your flail to draw one of the mini-eyes towards you, and it takes about 4-5 slashes with you sword (depending on which sword you're using) to kill it. Kill all the bush/eye things to then have a stab at the main eye. However, when you're slashing at it, it may start glowing. Start running around and don't stop running around when that happens because it'll then let loose an attack which is basically these beanstalk-like plants come out of the ground to stun you for a short while.
Rinse and repeat for an easy defeat.
Pulling out the little eyes individually, dispatching them and then having a go at the main eye might take a bit of practice, but you need only do this about 3 times at the most to kill Galem off.
