Now that you're armed with that sword, go back to the portal to visit the third world. You'll be able to take out the wraith, and then you'll have to undergo the Most Frustrating Battle Scene Ever, but the guy you meet afterwards will make your life SO much easier...

> I'm out of things to sell. Thought I could go home and hawk some of my belongings. Didn't work and Darius wasn't fooled by black gems and still won't help me yet. There may be sellable items in a room with a hole in the roof. Haven't gotten past the panels yet. Is that where I need to concentrate?

1) 560 gold will be Darius' price once you've convinced him. Don't worry about selling anything else. The two spare gold coins can buy you something useful in your hometown.
2) Convincing him requires a focus stone. Obtaining the focus stone isn't that intuitive, but it involves the most incredibly satisfying act of destruction in the entire game, IMO. It's time to introduce the Gate of Despair to the Boulder of Doom. ;)
