Shadow Ruins - Athena blockers -Chasm

[Gobatcha]

In the Shadow Ruins, Chasm Jumping area there's 4 Athena Blockers with BIG health bars. I found the best way to take them out is well described in the walkthrough. Definitely use the Sword of Stone or the Stone Hammer (thanx thoon!). The walkthrough mentions it, but specifically, there is an invisible ledge between the Blockers' platforms and the North and South walls. You can stand on the invisible ledge and whack the Blockers to death. They won't move. And the Sword/Hammer of Stone can take off 70 points at a whack. Using this method you can nail all the Blockers in about 10 minutes and power up major experience points. There was a few times that I slipped up and fell into the chasm. The Walkthrough was especially helpful in navigating the islands.
