Mystery Manor is short but has lots of annoying enemies like White Formors and Mad Butchers. Evil Forces appear as regular enemies as well. Out all of them only White Formor has Vol Luminatio which is a very good magic glyph to get a hold on especially for the next boss fight.
Albus is the boss of this area and he's one of the hardest bosses if you don't know what you are doing. If you do, and exploit a fatal flaw in his AI, he's an utter joke, however.
He has several types of shots in Hard Mode: regular, Vertical, Caspar, Ignis, Fulgur and Grando. The three last ones are exclusive to Hard Mode.
Ironically the regular one is the most dangerous here, and no, I'm not being sarcastic. The reason is that Albus doesn't telegraph that shoot and it's his fastest attack.
The flying kick is dangerous and annoying at first, but also the key to defeat Albus easily. Lure him into doing it by timing your jump correctly to avoid it (jump kick downward if you must), after that Albus stops for a moment to recover and you can lay waste on him.
As shown in the second fight against Albus, you can trick his AI into keeping him into a corner if you keep timing your jumps to lure him correctly. This exploit makes the fight a joke once you master it, basically turning a tough, epic showdown into an anti-climatic fight, but it may help people who are having a tough time against Albus.
