A summery for area 2 pass the initial barrier. After the cutscene where you talk to the silk lady, go around the garden and fight the tomato with a face, after defeating it the tomato follows you around. Talk to the tomato by the vines, there'll be a unique option use that, and the vines will be dissolved. Go up the hill defeat the silk lady and go where to the right from the initial entrance, you may get the ingredients needed for the flutter dust from the fly traps that are active. (drooling) Go up there and you'll finish the game from area 2 to the next boss scene. Make sure to have some spare heart dust, reload the game if you get bad RNG drops from the enemies. Seriously, you need to reload if the basic enemies do too much damage to you, and you get a bad drop. Though some general battle tips I can give is use pixie pose on enemies to reduce general damage and remove damage over time effects and squeeze. For fly traps make use to struggle to avoid a stacking DoT effect.
