Gemcraft is an addicting little game, but I have a question or two. I'm currently at level 19. I've played the missions just before the 1st Epic boss a bunch of times, but it seems that I'll be playing these same missions for the next 2 weeks unless I find a way to level up quicker. I've gotten a bunch of amulets etc, but this seems to take forever. Is there a quicker way to level up? I've tried the 1st Epic boss a few times, I guess my level just isn't high enough yet, got clobbered every time. Any tips/hints on beating him??

Play the easier waves closer to the first epic and use the combine grade 4 gem (or higher) with the same color grade 1 gem about 30 times. You'll get an uber gem that beats a grade 7 and is easier to get and probably cheaper too. Plus you can fine tune it - don't need a high cost to keep upgrading it.

Unfortunately the epic level uses essentially a rainbow of gem colors. It's harder to pull off on that level, but I suggest giving it a shot at least once. Heck you probably could be the epic right now if you did the above properly.

use a lot of towers with only 3 grade6 gems and trenches, if you can't hold it longer use your remaining mana to buy a grade 6 gem(if you had enough mana), who knows that you had bought a same color gem and a same grade? just combine it and gem bomb the epic boss(combine farther if you had 2 or 2x the same gem grade and color). when attacking, move your gems to your next tower and so on......and last NEVER BUY ANYTHING WHEN THE EPIC BOSS ARRIVES.

my simple version to cheat and win!
1. get cheat engine 5.4
2. beat 1st lv
3. use 1 piont on the 1st skill then search 8
4. use another point on 1st skill, and search 16
5. if needed: use another point on 1st skill and search 24
6. now there should b 1 adress take it down and change it to 800000
7.play next lv u start with 6 mil mana

its easy, you need the mana gain fraom killing , and the cheaper gems skill. combine some gems at first and increase ur mana pool like a retard then build 5-6 towers then just combining and watering the road and the final boss will be easy.

Well it took me a couple tries, but this is how i did it,

1. only use purple red lime and yeloow gems if you can avoid the others, grade 4 or higher is what you need.

2. make sure you have 6-10k mana.

3. get at least three grade 5 gems and 1 grade 6 gem.

4. make sure you have a full bar of mana by wave 28, and only use it on another mana poll if you get max, BUT ONLY 1!

5. let it the boss go around one time, then use your strongest gem, hopefully the grade 6, to move around with the boss.

6. when it gets past the last tower the second time around, it should have about 3k to 4k health left, throw all your gems at it.

I know this is a lot, but i did it and it worked well. Also, just put the towers near the entrance. hope this helps.
