I'm having a real hard time with Shifting Passages, and I've been trying to use the Goblin Assassin, but I'm no good with him. I usually level up by killing monsters 2-3 levels higher than me by poisoning them and regening, and by the time I get to level 6, I try to take on the side boss that isn't Evolvia. The problem is, by this time I don't have many black tiles left, and I usually can't survive a hit from the boss, so I cast 2 fireballs, level myself up by killing lower level monsters and converting, then repeat. This obviously doesn't work long, and I find myself at level 8 with the boss still alive (not to mention Evolvia), little to no black tiles left, and no monsters to catapult my levels.
People make it seem so easy on the forums and wiki, but when I try to put the techniques into practice, I get nowhere. I've completed a few hard dungeons with my success with the warlord, but I feel like the warlord has a bit of trouble with the Shifting Passages. I can easily beat the normal dungeons, but some of these hard ones seem to be too difficult.
If anyone has any tips for playing the Goblin Assassin and beating Shifting Passages. Please help me out with some advice!
