Hint:
Getting a familiar: Defeat a boss or gain enough levels to get a bird a dragon
companion.
When you reach level 25, you
receive a familiar; Valkyrie receives an Eagle, Wizard receives a Dragon,
Archer receives a Butterfly, and Warrior receives a Dragonfly. Reach level
50 for a better familiar.
Hint:
Using two-player bridges: You can use the two-player bridges in single player mode in two
ways:
Step on the switch, and if
you are very lucky, you will make it.
With an enemy on the other
end of where the bridge would be, step on the switch, lure it onto the
bridge, then cross.
Hint:
Better weapon: Reach level 10 to receive a better weapon. Reach levels 50 and 99
for additional new weapons.
Hint:
Kill Death: Death will die when he takes 100 HP or is hit with a potion.
When Death appears, use your
magic as a shield. This will make your magic last longer and you can run to
places with many enemies. This is also helpful when you do not want to use
your inventory items.
Hint:
Permanent anti-Death: Successfully complete the game to receive permanent anti-death,
which allows you to steal health from death.
Hint:
Turn Death into food: If you know where Death is hidden, do not open the container.
Instead, use a potion nearby and you should hear Death scream. Open the
chest or barrel for a fruit.
When running low on health on
any level, locate a poison apple and use a potion to turn it into a
health-giving apple.
Hint:
Play as Sumner: Exit through the secret door in the last level of The
Battlefield, the Trench. Then, collect fifty coins In the bonus level
Hint:
Play as the Minotaur: Go to the Cliff stage in the Mountain Kingdom. Find every switch,
then go to the area with the exit. Do not step on the exit portal. Instead,
head down until you see a trapdoor with a skull and crossbones. Step on it
and you will be transported to a room with many coins. Collect 50 coins to
unlock the Minotaur at the character selection screen.
Hint:
Play as the Falconess: Go to the Bonus stage in the Castle World. Collect 50 coins to
unlock the Falconess at the character selection screen. She has the same
turbo attacks as the Valkyrie.
Hint:
Play as the Jackal: Play through the second level of the Ice World. There is a
trapdoor at a dead end on top of the pile of crates at the end. The trapdoor
is found by climbing the slanted crates to the top. Then, circle around
until you get a chance to go back down. From there, climb the other set of
slanted crates, located before the exit, and standing atop the trapdoor.
Collect 50 tokens inside the door to unlock the Jackal at the character
selection screen. He is a more powerful form of the wizard.
Hint:
Play as the Tigress: Go to the first town level. Find all the main switches and head
to the portal. When you reach the portal, backtrack a small distance until
you reach a hill with a chest, a switch, and Death. Avoid Death and hit the
switch. Head in the position the switch is pointing and you will reach some
zombies and the trap door. Stand on the trap door and collect 50 coins to
unlock the Tigress at the character selection screen.
Hint:
Start new game with a bonus character: Unlock one of the secret characters and save the game. Go to the
file that has the character on it and select it. Press B at the
rumble pak screen to display the select screen. Select "New" to
start a new game with the desired character.
Hint:
Easy bonus characters: Train you character to at least a level 10, then press Z
at the character selection screen. The Warrior will change into Minotaur,
The Valkyrie will change into Falconess, The Wizard will change into Jackal,
and the Archer will change into Tigeress.
Hint:
Name censor: Enter any obscene word that fits. A growl will be heard and the
name will change into symbols.
Hint:
Strange symbols in character name: Enter an obscene word when the game asks you to submit a name for
yourself and character. Your name will appear as @!#* symbols that you
cannot normally enter as part of your name.
Hint:
See turbo attack: To see your turbo attack, go to the entrance of the Warriors
Mountain. Turn around to see a view that is right in front of your
character. If your turbo attack meter is charged in the red, use it to see
it come straight to the front of the screen. Note: This trick works best
with wizard.
Hint:
Stop time and explore: Get to the first end Boss and have a "Stop Time" item.
As you are about to die vs. the Dragon, turn on the "Stop Time"
item. Make sure it is still running when you lose the life. Choose to
continue, and enter any level besides a Boss level. Time will be stopped in
all levels, monsters will not regenerate, and nothing except poisoned food
will harm your character. You will also have free reign on any item.
However, you will gain hardly any experience points. This may also be done
with the "Shrink" item.
Hint:The
Ice Axe of Untar: The Ice Axe of Untar can be found in the Treasury level of the
Valkyrie's Castle. This weapon is useful in defeating the Red Dragon in the
Warrior's Mountain.
Hint:
The Scimitar of Rasha: The Scimitar of Rasha can be found in the Caverns level of the
Warrior's Mountain. This weapon is useful in defeating the Chimera in the
Valkyrie's Castle.
Hint:
The Flame of Tarkana: The Flame of Tarkana can be found in the Spire level of the
Skytown. This weapon is useful in defeating the Yeti in the Ice Domain.
Hint:
Marker's Javelin: Marker's Javelin can be found in the Fissure level of the Ice
Domain. This weapon is useful in defeating The Plague in the Skytown.
Hint:
Holy Savior: As the manual states on page 42, there is a weapon against Skorne
(second). The Holy Savior can be found in the second level of battle field.
Hint:
Maximum stats: Play level 1 in the mountain world and finish it without using
any of the items that were collected. When you return to the tower, sell
your items. Use the money to buy 20 points of stats. Repeat this until
reaching the maximum in every stat. Then, when you level up, you should get
any of the stat you are missing. Each stat can be raised to 999.
Hint:
Shield effect without a shield: This trick is useful when fighting small or medium size enemies.
If you do not have a shield, hold Z and run into any small to medium
size enemies to knock them down, which will sometimes kill them. Note: This
does not work against Bosses, Golems, etc.
Hint:
Use a potion as a shield: Hold Z, and press B. This will make a shield just
like the ones that you buy.
Hint:
Throwing potions: You can throw potions into the middle of the battle to destroy
more enemies. Hold A then press B and your character will
throw a potion.
Hint:
Unlimited rapid-fire turbo attack: Defeat Scorne in the Cathedral level that is unlocked after
defeating all four Bosses. Get all four items that are given to you as a
reward for defeating him. Equip both Gold Gauntlet objects that you receive
and do the trick where you attack an enemy by walking into it while holding Turbo.
If done correctly, your familiar will start shooting its attack normally
while your character punches and kicks constantly. Keep holding Turbo,
find some enemies, walk towards them, and your familiar's attack will kill
them instantly once it hits, just as a turbo attack would. Note: This trick
will not work on Bosses.
Hint:
Defeating Bosses: Purchase a Five-Way Shot for use in Boss battles.
Use power-ups such as Rapid
Fire, Three- or Five- Way Shot, Player Growth, The Phoenix, and some type of
Amulet. Make sure you turn them on before you enter the battle, or the Boss
will be hitting you while you are switching between power-ups.
To kill the Dragon, get a 5-way
shot. To kill the Yeti, use the fire amulet and 3- or 5-way shot. To kill
the Plague, use the electric amulet and the 3- or 5-way shot. To defeat
Skorne use the light amulet and the 3- or 5-way shot.
When fighting a Boss, play as
the Wizard. Use his yellow turbo attack (therock shower) and it will shave
up to one-fifth of the Boss' life. All you have to do is get close.
Get a Phoenix, Five-Way Shot,
any Amulet, and Rapid Fire to help defeat Bosses. Note: This works best
after level 25.
Hint.
Defeating Golems: Get Shrink Enemies and Limited Growth.
Hint:
Defeating Skorne: Get a Five-Way Shot and an Electric Amulet. Keep on shooting
until he has been defeated. It also helps to turn a potion into a shield if
you are low on health.
When fighting Skorne the second
time, get all the health you can. Then, run up to Skorne and use the gloves
that you get along with growth and attack his stomach. When he is halfway
dead, use the special. It is best done with Summoner. If done correctly, he
will die within five minutes. Note: Do not use magic or any amulets.
Hint:
Defeating the Red Dragon: When playing as the wizard, use your Rock Shower when close to
the Red Dragon, which will almost kill it.
When playing as characters
other than the wizard, buy two Super Shots, one Timestop, and a Grow. Turn
them all on except for Timestop. Use Super Shot when you get a little close.
While you have Growth on, it should make Super Shot bigger and do more
damage to the dragon.
When fighting against the Red
Dragon, you can defeat it on any level with no power ups. To do so, go to
the right corner of the field, near the Dragon's left foot (by the cliff).
Stay there and "shoot" your weapons at the dragon. If you have
more than one player playing, the dragon will still hit you on occasion -
though not very often, if you are in the correct location. After the other
players die, the dragon will not hit you again - as long as you are in the
correct location.
Hint:
Defeating enemies: Buy two Growths and two Speed. Turn them both on, then get
Special. Do not use it while you have Growth and Speed on. With Special, use
Turbo Run to make your enemies fly back. This is best done on big enemies,
such as Golems.
Hint:
Regaining health: If you are running low on health, go to the first level of the
Mountain Kingdom. Repeatedly play the level to get approximately 500 health
5 potions. If you pick up items and save them by pressing R you can
sell them later and get more gold to buy power-ups or more health. The
second level of the Mountain Kingdom is a good place for picking up
approximately 2000 gold. However, this level is a more risky then the first
level.
Hint:
Easy health build: Going through the various warps are quite cumbersome. Your health
is typically running low after the Boss matches and the "Blue, Yellow,
Green" levels. If you need to recharge your health, go to the very
first warp you encountered in the game and you should average around 400 to
500 health points. Do that about three to four times and you should be ready
to take on the next warp --it does not take that long.
After you defeat the last
Skorne, you will get permanent Anti-Death. When you look at the items stats,
you will see that you have one of them. Defeat the last Skorne to get a
second Anti-Death, which will give you more health than when you had only
one. Keep doing this. You can gain even more health from the Deaths before
you go to the first Skorne then when you grab health from them at the first
world.
Hint:
Easy experience: Play an advanced character and enter the first level of the
mountain world. You can collect up to 550 life and 950 gold. Going through
the level about two times should raise your experience enough to gain a
level. Save the power-ups and potions for use or to sell later.
Reach an enemy and use the
close combat skill which each character has. As soon as your character
starts using their close combat skill, hold Z. If done correctly,
your character should use the close combat skill and you can control him.
While you are doing this, do not attack anyone since it does not harm them.
Just walk around everywhere and your experience points should keep rising.
Go to a generator in any level.
Stay there and keep shooting at the monsters. You will gain a lot of
experience. Eventually, the generator will stop producing the monsters.
Note: If you shoot the generator, it will get smaller and you will not get
as much experience.
Use the following trick to get
a lot of health as well as gold and experience. Go to level 2 in the
Volcano. Play through the level and you will receive approximately 2,300
gold each time. The monsters are also weak, and instead of having the food
make up for lost life, you will earn about 600 life. Each time you play the
level you will earn close to or a little over 5,000 experience even at
higher levels. Play through this level three times, saving all gold and
power-ups to sell, and you will earn over 20,000 gold.
The monsters in the first
levels give about as much experience as the other levels, which makes it
easy to gain experience and levels.
Use locations with never ending
enemies to your advantage. For instance, since your character can throw
their weapons, use a strategic method to reach a point in your surroundings
in which the monsters cannot reach you, but you can reach them. Just keep
killing them from that spot. Since the enemies are never ending use that
unfair advantage to your advantage. In the long run this will allow you to
prevail in gaining experience. Once you are satisfied with your skill level
and experience, then you can return to completing the game.
Hint:
Easy money: Note: Two controllers are required for this trick. Start a two
player game. If there is only one person playing, let player two die. Find
the Thunder Hammer. Press R so you do not accidentally use it. When
you complete the level, sell it for 1300 gold. Repeat the process until you
have as much money as desired. Note: When you repeat the trick, turn player
two back on or else the Thunder Hammer will not appear.
Glitch:
Rapid-fire walk attack: Attack an opponent way walking into it. Hold Z immediately
after the attack is started. Then, turn around and begin walking. If done
correctly, your character will begin walking very slow and firing very fast.
Glitch:
Kill enemies without attacking: Go to an enemy generator. Kill all the enemies near it so you are
not bothered. Then, when an enemy is just exiting the generator (half in and
half out), walk into him to attack him. Melee and hold Z, then walk
away. If done correctly, you will keep attacking the air, but hurting all
enemies that exit the generator, killing them and gaining experience while
not actually attacking them.
