I wasnt able to D/L my save files but in less than an hour I am back at the ANCIENT TOWER so it doesnt matter much. But the MERCENARY is something else. I finally killed him with Satoro down and the other two barely there and then the bugger transforms. Is there an anticipated level to beat them at or a decent tip as to get past him? Also once I do whatever it is needs doing there, it opens up into other areas and to the rest of the game right? Enjoying the game a lot.
