Extra
gold: Begin game play in multi-player mode and give all gold to one
character. Save the game for the character with the gold, but not the
other character. Restart the game, and the player that was not saved will
have the same amount of gold present before giving it to the other
character. Repeat this process to collect as much gold as needed. This
also may be done with elixirs after they appear in the game to allow a
character with enhanced attributes to be built. Note: Due to the limited
amount of space in the inventory, only 200,000 gold pieces may be carried
at one time.
Play a couple games with a
character and stock up on any rings or amulets that Griswald will give you
more then 5,000 gold pieces for. Some rings are worth up to 20,000 gold
pieces so its possible to bring items worth 800,000 gold pieces into a new
game. When you have found some premium rings our amulets do not sell them.
Save your character (not game) and start a new two player game with one
character having the expensive items and the other character the one that
will get the gold or shop for new tiems. This trick can also be done
deadly weapons.
Duplicating
belt items: When your player is surrounded by items and you can not throw
down any more items without moving, throw an item from your belt. It will
fall on the ground two squares from your player, but the item will still
be on your belt. You can pick it up and have two. This can be done as many
times as needed, with any item that is on your belt. This is especially
useful with elixirs (spectral) and potions of full rejuvenation when in
the lower levels.
Duplicating
items: This trick requires two memory cards and two controllers. Start
a multi-player game. Have the character that has the item you want to
duplicate drop it on the floor, then have the other character pick it up.
Save the character that just picked up the item. Exit with the character
that dropped the item without saving. You should now have two of the same
item, one each in the possession of both characters. Note: This will not
work with yellow items -- you cannot save yellow items without saving the
game.
Bonus
characters: Play all six standard characters until they are fully developed
on the same memory card. Then start a new game, go to the "One
Player" menu, select the "Load Character" option, and
choose the memory card with the six characters. Return to the "One
Player" menu, highlight "Load Character", and hold Left
or Right until the character portrait changes to a new person
(alternate versions of the townspeople). Fully develop the new character
and repeat the steps to unlock more characters.
Attribute
increase for items: If you do not have enough of a single attribute to use a
weapon, helmet, or armor, equip a ring or amulet that will raise that
attribute. Equip the item that was previously unwearable, then remove the
ring or amulet. The item will not turn red and you can still use it. Note:
This only works if the item you want to equip adds points to the attribute
that was boosted.
Attribute
increase with elixirs: To boost attributes stock up on elixirs. Save a character with
the elixirs. Start a game in two player mode with a new character and the
character with elixirs. Give the elixirs to the new character and use
them. Then, save the new character but not the old one. Repeat this as
needed.
Hint:
Defeating The Butcher: When you encounter The Butcher in multi-player mode, simply
have one player hit him, then run around. He will catch up, but not hit
you. Then have the second player hit him. Repeat this until he is dead.
Hint:
Defeating Bosses: A good method to defeat some Bosses is to make them follow you.
Run to a fence that you can shoot through. Then, use a bow or get a spell
ready and fire away.
Hint:
Saving items: Since the Town Portal Spell always opens at the same location,
leave a few more scrolls of Town Portal nearby. Since they will not be
"stolen" (disappear) when you return to the dungeon, you will
always have one with you when you return to Hell (if you remember to take
one or two before you go back through the portal). This trick can also be
used with weapons, money, armor, and almost anything else. It is very
useful when used with weapon and armor if you need room in your inventory,
but are not sure if you should sell the item now. Also, doing this with
money prevents you from losing some of it if you die on your next trip.
Hint:
Get good items when starting: While playing the game, you will find magical and rare weapons
and armors. When you decide to save the game, save the game and save the
character. This way, if you decide to start a new game, your new character
can have great protection, provided he/she has the proper attributes. Just
start a two player game with one "new" character and one saved
character. Have the saved character unload everyhting he/she has onto the
ground. You may have to move the "giving" character a few steps
away, since you can only drop a limited number of items in one location.
After dropping everything, have the "new" character pick up
everything. Save the "new" character and quit the game. If you
sell the items later on, and you want it back, just repeat this tactic to
regain the objects.
