Good God... and I still can't beat "A Rolling Stone". =( I suck.
That's the highest one I've beaten on Normal. Pretty sure that was during my Dual Wielding days, though. Here's what I used, I think:
Main Hand - Fair Iron Shortsword of Slaughter
Off Hand - Fine Platinum Club (I've since replaced this with Fine Iron Kite Shield of Protect, which means less I deal less damage, but I go longer without Cure)
Helmet - Average Bronze Plate Helmet of Ward
Body - Fair Iron Plate Cuirass of Fire-Eater
Hands - Average Bronze Chainmail Mitons of Damp
Legs - Average Bronze Chainmail Chausses of Ward
Feet - Average Bronze-Adorned Leather Boots
In short, Heavy Armor on everything but legs, and two one-handed weapons. And heal BEFORE you get in serious trouble, I generally do it when my HP drops below 100, especially with a mini-boss. Try to save your spirit attack for them, that's when you really want it. I generally attack the lowest level monsters first, since they go down quicker. But if they're especially good at dodging (Mutant Peacock and Cookie Monster, for example) you may want to switch up the order and come back to them right before you focus on the mini-boss (assuming you can survive its magic that long). Bring some items to restore HP and MP, at the very least.
Of course, it also matters where your ability points went, if you trained for more, what your stats are, and what auras you have. But that's what worked for me (barely). (IMG:[
