Gah, I'm an idiot. It's Niflheim, not Nibelheim. I got it mixed up with Final Fantasy VII ^_^;. Anyways, Niflheim is an optional level you can play after a certain point late in the game. You access it by examining this funky looking book you find in the Sybak library (you need to do some other things before it appears).
Beating Niflheim is sooo hard, which is why I gave up. In this world, there are multiple levels which are indicated by the color of the floor. On each level you may be required to complete some kind of task in order for a portal to appear and allow you to move to the next level.
Now that may not sound so bad, but there's also this thing called soulfire. It represents your life. This soulfire will steadily decrease if you walk around
and fight enemies for a long time. Shooting your Sorcerer's Ring will also
take away Soulfire. To recover soulfire, you have to light up these
candlesticks that look like pots with your Sorcerer's Ring or fight enemies
in under 20 seconds. However, if you examine certain candlesticks, they might have some extra, negative, effects, like lowering your soulfire faster, for instance.
Each floor can have certain effects on the character as well. Oh, and did I mention that there are 15 levels? ^_^;;; And on the 10th floor, you fight a boss. Then on the 15th, you fight another boss. The boss at the 15th level is basically the same as Abyssion... Or so I'm told, never reached that point.
i know that if you can defeat Abyssion, Niflheim's boss battles aren't that hard, what's hard is that it's sooo long and really hard to
get to the where the bosses are, especially there aren't ANY save points or anything.

You mean Sword Dancer, right? Yes, I beat him, the Kusanagi Blade and EXP were worth it. ^_^

There is at least as much if not more to do in Abyss than in Symphonia ^_^
