ok so a little late but you can save the shield (more or lest) the game has 2 endings depending if the shield woman lives or dies, the "good ending" triggers if you save her... you can just fire ball the goblin ass to death, for some reason this only hurts the goblin and no the womanAnyone know how to defeat goblin which have shield with other, redhead female knight? fifth ( i think) stage, goblin/orc boss
