While the hate for 2 is unjustified, I still feel that 2 is the weakest game of the Erdrick/Roto Trilogy. On top of the Crest search, the game's balance near the end of the game is completely messed up, even in the SNES and GBC remakes. The pitfalls in the Cave to Rhone are completely retarded, and the jump in monster difficulty of Rhone Plataeu is insane, the worst I've ever seen in an RPG. 1, who's only flaw was being too much of a grind fest in the NES version, was far less flawed than 2 was, and 3 fixed pretty much every problem that 2 had.

Sounds like an ok plan, though I personally think the NES version of 4 is better than the DS version. Also, DQ2 isn't that bad except for one spot at the end of the game and searching for the damn crests. If you're going to play it, play the SNES or GBC version, use a guide to get the crests, and use a map when you get to Rhone Cave.

I didn't have any problems with DQ2 until I made it to Rhone Cave and Plateau.

Enjoy going from Rhone Cave to Rhone Plateau at the end of the game. It was probably the biggest jump in monster difficulty in any RPG I've ever played. And that's on top of getting through the cave itself which has invisible pits everywhere.
