Only if you walk on the flowers. i was good at avoiding them and getting everywhere on the map. Plus by the time i was there i was level 30-40 so monsters were a piece of cake even with no magic. 

I hate Tiz. Mine is nothing more than a wim and Ringabell hits harder as a monk and a better mage. I dont know why since all character stats are pretty much the same to keep things even but my Tiz is just a collasale wimp even with best armor and weapons from my maxed out own.

Worse main character... Pfft i have too much built up rage with the game xD
