On my second play through I new about the shields behind the demon door I carried the SLIMQUICK SWORD and went around buying all the pies, mutton and fish and ate it on the spot. I put on my pajama outfit and dyed each piece of it a a different color and the door open right up. You max out one third of the sword which is the part that will make you lose weight with every hit. Works great. Also, eating carrots and celery along the way really helps. My gamer tag is BlackShuck063 send invite or friend request if I can help you with anything. ^_^
