Tower of Fate: Ascent almost made me want to quit this game.

I was having a good time with the game. It wasn't too hard, but posed a decent challenge and, most importantly, it was fun. The final knights got a bit tough, but it wasn't anything that I felt was super cheap (although those propeller guys suck).

Then Tower of Fate second stage. Screw this place. Specifically, the part where you're on the floating fountain thing. The samurai is in a terrible spot that I can't for the life of me avoid without using the amulet thing, which you have to use at just the right time. Then you pass the fire, easy enough, and then the propeller guys. You have basically no room to work with, and they take two hits to kill. This was the first time I felt the game was simply unfair with cheapness. Combine it with everything else that is moderately hard, and it just sucked all of the fun I had out of the game.

I finally beat the game, but I just didn't feel the satisfaction I expected to because of that last level.

That's why most people use the Propeller Dagger to cheese that section, and when I played through the Plague Knight campaign I skipped it entirely.
