Lost Magic and Children of Mana

[Grawr]

I recently picked up both of these...

And, they're way too hard...

In Lost Magic, I'm at the part where the girl flew in from the sky, and I'm supposed to protect her against like fifty pig-things. That's just pure insanity.

In Children of Mana, I'm supposed to fight some giant flaming bird on a mountain, and it doesnt die, even after that new sword decends from above. :wacko:

Any tips?

...please? >_<

I have Children of Mana, and it actually isn't that hard. Great game though. I forgot how to beat the Fire boss, though... Just keep hitting it.
