not that i know of. i'm missing some items though, so maybe there is something.
for the time being, you can use judgement ring (enhances your glyph union power) and the element enhancing ring, compatible with whatever element the enemy is weak to and your glyph is set to. i found sword+elemental glyph unions pretty useful. then, having as much hp+heart recovery items as possible is a good idea too, some of the enemies in the lower levels are just evil.
in the end, dominus agony, which you activate for only a second or so, so that you can hit the enemy and deactivate it immediately to minimize the hp loss. the stat gains it gives are very helpful (almost +100 to most stats).
Are there glyphs that can only be gotten by bosses, as in, one chance only to get certain glyphs?
three. two are from storyline bosses, one from an optional boss. in reality only albus's glyph is a one time only deal though.
barlowe's is shared by an enemy (demon lord) in the optional area with all the fights, and the optional boss always resets once you leave his room, and hell, if you killed him before getting his glyph just strike him again to bring him back to life and fight again.
