Betray
the kingdom: Rescue the Princess before you fight the Dracolord. Take her
with you to the final battle and the Dracolord will ask for her. You have
now have the choice of answering "Yes" or "No" to his
request.
When fight the Dracolord he
will say that he was looking for some one like you. and if you want half
of the world. If you answer "Yes", he will ask you for your
sword. If you give him your sword he will ask "You were going to
defeat me with this puny thing?". You will then wake up at an inn and
find out that it was a dream. You will wake up with everything you had in
his castle and still have your sword.
Easy
money: Find a place that sell repellent for 12 gold. They will pay
you19 gold if you sell it to them, or anyone else that buys items from
you. Buy as many repellents as you can, then sell them to someone. Buy,
then sell, and repeat.
Go to the place that sells
keys for 16 gold, then exit and re-enter. Sell them at a weapons shop for
26 gold, which is a larger profit than the repellent trick.
