Alas. ;_; Yeah, the golem's a pain in the ass... I think it helps if you learn the Cherry Rondo Break Art? Or have a blunt weapon? I forget the strategy for that bastard... Chaining might also work, just have the Vera Roots handy. (You do have some by now, right?)

But yeah. Ashley Riot is too cool to be made twelve. When you (eventually) get to the end of the game, his awesome will increase by 10 and you'll understand why he would be TOTALLY PERFECT post-game.

... Though mid-game would be awesome too. I would love to see postKH2!Riku and Sydney's reactions to each other. XD
