To go into dungeons and farm gold, blueprints and runes to progress further and defeat all the bosses. Simple as that.
Each time you die (will happen alot) you keep your gold which you can spend on upgrading your own castle (stats for your characters) or buying weapons from the merchant or passive buffs from the mage. When you enter the castle you'll meet death who'll take your remaining money.
So. Enter castle. Destroy everything to get money. Die. Upgrade your stats. Enter castle....... defeat bosses, start New Game +, enter castle, etc.
This just in: Johannes/The Fountain can get fucked.
I nearly beat it with a spellsword with daggers and inevitably the fountain does that bullshit dagger filling room spell followed by the giant swords coming up from the ground thing and I just bite the dust.
I guess I need to grind it out more and get more armor or health buffs because I'm getting hit for like 73 every time with my spellsword.

I could only beat him with the barbarian with the shout. Using that shout to clear all the projectiles on the screen.
The first time through it took me at least fifteen tries to beat him. I went on to beat the game four more times and didn't die to him again. The bosses in general get super easy once you get your stats up.

I beat the Forest Boss. Should I go to the Darkness or the Maya next?
I´m having exactly same issue, I´ve been through the whole castle and not a single freaking blueprint.

Alright, thank you.
So... the dragon class is useless? That's infuriating! It feels like they made the class because they thought it'd be cool, then couldn't figure out how to balance it, then decided they'd leave it in as a joke. That kind of thing should probably be pruned from the game, not left in and charged an arm and a leg for.
I actually found the dragon class quite useful in some scenarios. I beat the Tower boss with a dragon, because it was easier to kite the boss, and sometimes I find it useful for fairy chests. I feel like it would've been more worth the time if it still had a sword attack as well as the fireball spell though.

How are Windows 8 users getting on with this — has anyone had any issues?
None at all or none after a certain point? Because I'm pretty sure you need to be in New Game+ or higher to get all of your gear.

Yeah, you're not going to be able to get all tiers of gear until NG+ or even NG++.
I am on ng+5 and get zero blueprints anymore. I have opened easily 100+ chests, including miniboss chests since the last plans dropped. I am still missing nine pieces of gear.
Haven't had any issues playing it on Windows 8, about 15 hours put in so far.

Barbarians man.
They make him so easy.
as long as you've made sure to upgrade your mana pool quite a bit.

Oh yeah, that move. 
I usually just try to stay out of the middle. That seems to be where he hits you the most.

It's a shame this probably won't get the recognition it deserves for GOTY. Thanks for a great game!
For the longest time and through three runs of the castle I was using my normal runes, then read somewhere that grace runes might actually help, so I equipped five. No help.
I hate NG++, normal rooms are harder than bosses =(
Was lucky to accidentally enter the maya from a side entrance that lead me directly to the boss room, and got him on the first try.
Haven't really tried to play any mage-style character though, as I don't like the playstyle as much.

I beat him with the hokage, both of them don't have much hp. you can hit the second form like 7 times if he tries to follow you, on the other hand he can just spam swords for 5 mins and usually that's when I die.
but yeah, I guess the barbarian with the shout is the best.

Does the full game support 2560x1440 resolution?

I've put 10 hours in and have had no problems. This game is hard for me to put down right now. It's so good!

Actually I meant if you had grace runes equipped, you'd be getting worse loot and that might be why you weren't getting higher level blueprints.

I think I spoke too soon.
I literally just DESTROYED him on my first try after I reset my save and went all magic. Like...in seconds. Was very awesome.
Oh, nah, I beat the castle three times with no grace runes and no blueprints. It isn't all high level plans I am missing either.
I had to restart my computer to get it to pick it back up.

Is it true that you can only rebind certain keys in Rogue Legacy? Space, shift and a few others can't be changed?
I'm not sure but you should play it with a pad, way better.

Wow, that's pretty disrespectful IMHO. Especially after you invested 5 hours into it. Jesus.Rogue Legacy in one mail:
