White Forest Boss - Warlord Izumi
Try to jump every now and then as you may dodge his shadow dash move. Also interrupt his heals if you can.
Burial Grounds Boss - Warlord Niroshi
Make sure you deal with the risen ASAP because if you don't deal with them they will eventually mob you to death. It is recommended to disrupt him while he is trying to summon the risen.
Dai'Jin Mines Boss 1 - Lady Akari
Disrupt her fireball casting and dodge her fireballs just as she's about to release them and jump in for the kill.
Dai'Jin Mines Boss 2 - Dai'Jin Lord
He heals/blocks more damage the more you attack him in a short time frame.
The key to this fight is to burst him down with 1 or 2 attacks (Don't use multi hit strikes) run away and wait for his green shield to disappear and repeat til dead.
Venomwoods Boss 1 - Ryota the Sly
Reduce healing debuffs are useful for this fight e.g Doom Blade.
Has high regeneration so lay down the pain and interrupt his poison bolts (don't bother dodging them as they can track you).
Venomwoods Boss 2 - Lord Takeshi
Just like Ryota healing debuffs are useful for this fight.
Try to disrupt his poison cloud and just continue to damage him.
Shogun Palace Boss 1 - Haddaku the Swift
He will occasionally summon a clone of himself although it disappears fairly quick so just focus on bringing down the boss.
Shogun Palace Boss 2 - Warlord Asura
Try to interrupt or avoid his high slashing damage move as it deals HIGH damage. Later on in the fight he will use a blue shield which renders him inactive but will heal him while its active so attack him while he is doing this (healing debuffs are useful here). Try to avoid him while he is glowing red as he deals increased damage.

It would be nice if specific tips were given for each class on battles and abilities, but meh. It's very nice to know some of the side quests' rewards that I haven't tried to do yet
It would be awesome to have the community make one big complete guide for this game.
Here are the other side quest that I missed out on:
The Fallen Village
Chef Shuji - He will ask you to bring some exotic spices which can be bought from the dutch trader Karl Fredrick. Reward: Upgrade component - Emerald
Pazu the Collector - He will ask you to find a haruki doll located at the Haruki Residence in a chest after beating Lord Tetsuo. Reward: Paku's Glass Doll - 7 Vitality + 30 Focus + Trance
Beastmaster Naoko - She tries to convince you that the naga are real but you are skeptical. The Naga eye is located in a chest inside of a house with a mountain symbol at Ichisan Castle. Reward: This just unlocks a new conversation with her.
This might be a bit off topic but there is a hidden item in the White Forest at the farthest part of the Living Quarters - you'll have to jump to the top to find the chest. It's called the Kabuki Mask, it gives 20 - Int and grants Madness (reduces Focus by 50 but gain 50% Int as Strength), its very usefull for Assasin class or any class with high Int but lacking in Strength - I'm still using it at level 20. If you have to upgrade it i suggest Emerald cuz i used the Shadow Jem and it added only 1 Int.
If you have the premium content you can find an improved version of the Kabuki Mask called the Mask of Insanity with more Intellect has Vitality and also the same passive Madness.
You need to buy the Shadow Potions from the Dutch Trader and consume it to become invisible and make sure you buy 2 of them as it will wear off by the time you reach the chest at the end from entrance of the room.
ok, and one last thing, there is a chest up on a ledge near the end of the game. I know that you have to wall jump then use the grappling hook thing to get it, but I don't know how to do that? Thanks again!!!!
Since its easier to show than to explain I've uploaded a video for you to see here. Basically wall jump turn right and quickly fire your Kunai Sting and jump again up to the chest.
How would you get the chest in the Daijin (or something) mines? After you fight the two healers, the ranger, and the berseker, there's a chest you have to walljump to, but it doesn't let me jump all the way. And what's in it, if you already know?
As a Warrior you need the Kunai Sting ability. Wall jump and use it on the wall where the chest is and it will pull yourself towards the chest. I skipped the boots because the stats arern't that great. Boots of Discovery: 8 Intellect + 4 Agility + 5 Vitality.
There's any way to find components other than mining..? I used 2 golds, 2 shadow gems, 2 emeralds and 2 cristals but I can not find anything else :< It would be awesome if I could get components from a boss or something like that
