Well. That was a grind. I typically don't mind grinds as long as the game implements convenient mechanics, like pressing and holding a button to "fast-forward" a battle. This game had none of that. You press and hold, you're on stand-by. After going through the first two dungeons, I got to the third one.
I realized that the poison sword only scales well with enemies with large pools of health. I opted for the greatsword to deal with the small fry, and would poison the bosses. Well, I gambled on the possibility of the third boss being the final boss, seeing as how she gives a bad end if you lose to her. (Sudden gameover, too. If you don't save, you're screwed.) By the time I found out there was a fourth dungeon, I had already sold most my items just to level up a few. There's also the undead claymore, but the only noticeable difference I found was that it was a weaker greatsword. Why? At this point I didn't want to continue, so I borrowed a cheatsave and looked through the gallery. Seems like the only thing I missed out on was the horsewoman masturbating silently in a few CGs.
There's just one thing bugging me...
Dude, where's her horse?
