Sorry this isn't the best quality. Aftermath hasn't been around to capture this, so I had to do it.

This is actually probably the hardest level for Charlotte. There are tightly-packed groups of enemies all over, and lots of bones to avoid. None of her spells are really suited for this. I use a strange combination of spells here: ice needle, hellfire, nova skeleton (whatever it is called), and dark inferno. Dark inferno is used after Gergoth falls to clear out all the axe armors, minotaur, etc. If I used hellfire down there, I'd run out of MP before Gergoth died, just because of how much MP it costs. Nova skeleton is used in a few other locations. You'll see where. It works REALLY well in these places. It is a very situation spell.

Since I don't have berserker mail equipped, I am free to damage boost with Charlotte! I take a damage boost off of Gergoth's laser (never thought I'd say that!) at the drawbridge because it is actually faster than waiting. I've never beaten the laser though, so I don't think it's possible. The main issue for Charlotte is the pendulum section. The axe armors can anti-air me really easily, so I have to kill all of them without losing much time. Nova skeleton really helps. The second pendulum room is borderline impossible to do quickly as Charlotte. I spam the hell out of ice needle to create a shield as I ride the bottom pendulum; this protects me from the bones of the bottom skeletons. I cannot make the jump to the top pendulum from the left side (with this pendulum timing; I can if I'm a bit slower getting to this room).

This is the only time I've made it to Gergoth fast enough to pass by him on the left. I *think* this saves time, but I don't know. Anyways, boss fight is standard.
