Hint:
Defeating Bosses: An easy way to defeat the Bosses is to buy four or five of the
following items before the fight: Triple Shot, Rapid Fire, a magical amulet
(Acid, Light, Fire, etc.) that the Boss is weak against. Get close and press
the button as fast as possible. It is amazing how quickly the Boss' life
goes down. This strategy can be used for every Boss in the game and also
makes the Spider Queen very easy.
If you have at least 10,000
gold, buy two Invincibilitys, two Rapid Fires, two Super Shots, and two
Phoenixes. Use the rest of the money on any of those four to have some
extras. Enter the battle and just hold X. You will not get hurt and
the Boss will die in a few seconds.
Buy five to eight hammers, go
up to the Boss, and press X as quickly as possible. Since you are
invulnerable while you swing, you almost always never get hit. Use this on
any Boss for easy experience and gold. Note: It does not work as well with
the Queen Spider.
By lots of Super Shot and do
not stop shooting at the Boss. Note: This will not work against the Lich and
Spider Queen.
Buy a lot of Thunder Hammers.
When you reach the Boss' level, run directly up next to it and repeatedly
attack. You will continuously attack without taking a lot of damage. The
Boss should die without much of a fight. If you die before you kill it, buy
more Hammers. This works much better if you are playing a multi-player game.
Have both you and your teammate(s) run up and attack in the same manner.
When you both/all have a full turbo meter, use your team attack. This will
help kill the Boss faster. The Thunder Hammer trick works well on most of
the weaker Bosses. The Boss of the Dream levels is too wise for this trick,
and the final Boss is too strong. The Spider Queen will hit you frequently.
In order to defeat her easily, start a multi-player game and designate
someone as the punching bag. Whoever plays the punching bag should run up to
the Queen and stand in front of her, causing her to get distracted by
attacking only that person. This will work for awhile, then she will turn
and try to get someone else. Make sure that the punching bag is always in
her way. Buy a lot of invincible crystals for the punching bag character.
Remember, if an item is timed, it will run out twice as fast in a Boss
battle. The punching bag can attack the Queen and is recommended, especially
since that means more damage faster. Also, do not forget to use your Team
Attacks. They will deal a large sum of damage.
As a Jester or Archer, stand
far from the Boss and fire repeated shots at it. When it gets ready to fire
long range attacks, stop firing and move. It will miss and become
vulnerable. Note: This will not work with the Lich or Spider Queen.
This trick requires a lot of
money. Go to the shop and buy a lot of Super Shots. Continuously fire at the
Boss. The Boss will be attacking you, but you will not lose any health.
Hint:
Defeating the Dragon: In single player mode, buy about 7 Lightning Breaths and stand
directly next to him and use them. In two player mode, buy about 4 Lightning
Breaths for each player and do the same thing.
Buy five or more Reflective
Shields (and some Amulets if desired). As soon as you start, use your full
magic attack to clear the rocks directly in front of you. Then, put on your
Amulet (if available) and get your shield ready. Start throwing your big
attack at him and put up your shield whenever he shoots a single fire ball.
Then, turn your shield off to save power. You only will get hurt when he
shoots two fire balls or stomps his foot. He should die quickly. If he uses
his fire breath, you are too close -- back away. This is an easy way to gain
levels and money.
Hint:
Defeating Plague: Go to the far upper right or left. You should be directly next to
his vat. This is his blind spot, and very few attacks can reach you. Just
fire away at him until he is dead. Note: This is best done with two players,
one on each side of his vat.
Hint:
Defeating Skorne: Enable the "10,000 gold per level" code. When you
defeat the Wraith, you should have 40,000 gold. Next, shop and buy 20,000
gold worth of invincibility and 20,000 gold worth of the Hammer. When you
run out of hammers, Skorne should at least have half of his life gone, and
you will still have invincibility throughout the entire battle. If you run
out of invincibility, use a second player as a sacrifice.
To easily defeat Skorne in the
Underworld, first defeat him in the Desecrated Temple and buy at least
10,000 gold worth of reflective shield. When you get to Skorne, wear the
Gauntlets that he gave you and your reflective shield. Few of his attacks
will hit you, and he will die within three minutes.
Hint:
Defeating the Spider Queen: Use the following trick to kill the Spider Queen easily and gain
a lot of experience. You will need a lot of money. Shop and buy about 25
Fire Breath, if you want to do this more than once. Then, go to her level.
Immediately after it starts, run as fast as you can and try to get under
her. After that, just hold X. You will not get hurt, and you will
gain about three to four levels.
Make sure you have at least two
potions when entering the Spider Queen's level. When she charges at you, tap
Circle(2) to make a shield around yourself. As she charges, your
character will get pushed back but will not lose any life. It will also hurt
her when she touches you, as long as the shield is up. Repeat this as many
times as needed as she charges.
Hint:
Defeating Generals: Fire a strong attack. The General will block it. Then, fire a
turbo attack. Repeat this until they are dead. For a more powerful hit, use
the turbo attack when close to them.
To defeat a General or Golem
without spending money or using an item, when you run into creates, go
behind a wall or barrier of some sort that you can shoot over. Then, use
your slow attack multiple times.
Hint:
Defeating Guardians: Save a lot of treasure (about 3,000 gold). Buy Hammers with it.
This will give you a very long lasting Hammer that will almost kill whatever
Guardian you fight. It is also difficult for them to hit you while you are
attacking with this Hammer. Hammers also work best for beating on anything
you cannot take down without taking a lot of damage.
Hint:
Defeating Gargoyles: Find or buy three or four hammers. Run up to it and press X.
If you do not want to spend money, shoot it with your slow attack. Stand far
enough away so that it does not get you when it sprays acid, lightning, or
fire, Once it sprays acid, lightning, or fire, run in one direction then
quickly in another. Its attack will miss you.
Hint:
Character combo: Tap Quick Attack (default is X) two to three times,
then Strong Attack (default is Triangle) to do a special one
or two hit combination hit after the normal attacks are done. These combos
do more damage than regular attack and are useful against mini-Bosses or
Bosses who are in short-range distance (the Spider Queen, Lich, etc.).
Hint:
Easy experience: Killing the Spider Queen repeatedly. She is worth the best
experience. If you have some friends playing, have them use the
"Defeating Bosses" trick for rapid killing. You can get two to
three levels per fight depending on how long your items lasted.
Use a total of four controllers
and start a four player game. Lead all of your "decoys" into the
Spider Queen's lair. Move them to the middle then kill her with your main
character. After she is defeated, she will drop 44,000 gold and be worth
30,000 experience points.
Go to any level in the Forsaken
Province world. Instead of destroying a generator, keep killing the enemies.
If you have gotten to the
Plague Fiend in the Sky World, use the trick where you go to the top right
or left corner and attack the Plague Fiend for an easier victory. Stay there
and throw your weapon at the Plague Fiend until it dies, then collect the 5
gold pieces it drops. You should have only lost about 1000 or 2000 health,
and at least gained 1 level. When you pick up all the coins, you should have
about 10,000 gold. Next, go shopping and buy all the Meat you can get.
Should have a lot of treasure remaining to buy other items, including
add-ons to your attack, speed, defense, and magic. Repeat this until you
have all the items and experience needed.
Go to the third level of the
Forsaken Province with the Antideath item available. Proceed until you get
to a place with doors on both sides of it outside before the fountain. Turn
Antideath on and destroy all of the doors. One will have a Black Death
(which steals a level) inside. Go to it when it runs. Keep running at it and
you will get a level from it because of Antideath.
Save up about 5,000 to 10,000
gold and spend it on Invulnerability, 3-Way Shot, Quick Shot, and Fire
Amulets. You should have about three or four of each. Fight the spider
queen, and get close enough for all three shots to hit, but far enough away
to not use close range attacks. You should kill the Spider Queen quickly
with any character, gain about two levels, and still have all your health.
You will also get 11,000 gold for every player to spend on upgrades and
items.
Buy a lot of Thunder Hammers
and Invulnerability. Then, stand in any level with generators (the first
level of the first area recommended). Let the generators make enemies until
that area is almost full. Then, use your Thunder Hammer and you will destroy
some of them. Note: Do not destroy the generator. Repeat this to gain levels
quickly.
Hint:
Easy gold: Note: This trick requires two controllers. Load an existing
character, then create another character with the "Invincibility"
code. Go to any Boss. Have the invincible character just stand there and use
your character to attack the Boss until it is defeated. It drops double the
gold on a two player game, which your main character should collect. Repeat
this to get as much gold as needed.
Hint:
Stronger magic: When you use magic, it will be stronger depending on your
character's color.
Blue: Lightning potions are
stronger and have better radius. Lightning shields are also larger.
Green: Acid potions are
stronger and have better radius. Acid shields are also stronger
Red: Fire potions are
stronger and have better radius. Fire shields are also stronger.
Yellow: Light potions are
stronger and have better radius. Light shields are also stronger
Hint:
Special powers: Each character, after reaching level 25 and level 50, will gain
special powers by using their magic. The powers listed will also work for
the secret forms of these characters. Also, all characters at about level 75
to 90 will learn how to use their magic to heal themselves. Each time you
use magic, you will gain about 3 HP multiplied by how many enemies you kill
with your magic.
Warrior or Dwarf Level 25: Change junk into silver.
Level 50: Change junk into gold.
Valkyrie or Knight Level 25: Stop all on-screen traps for ten seconds.
Level 50: Destroy all on-screen traps.
Archer or Jester Level 25: All on-screen secret walls will flash.
Level 50: All on-screen secret walls are destroyed.
Hint:
Maximum character attributes: Enable the "10,000 gold per level" code. You will start
the game with 10,000 gold. Go shopping and buy magic, armor, strength, or
speed until you are out of gold. Return to the game and you will once again
have 10,000 gold. Keep buying attribute level-ups until your character has
999 strength, 999 armor, 999 speed and 999 magic. You can also replenish
your health following a tough level by buying meat until it is restored.
Save your character or this will have to be repeated.
Hint:
Level 99 Sumner: To get the level 99 Sumner, go to the second level of the Battle
Grounds, and play it normally. Find the exit, then backtrack until you find
a bridge. It will be towards the front of the screen. You should not have to
go far to find it. Enter the trap door and get all the coins. Note: You may
need to unlock all the other secret characters first. When collecting all
the coins, start on the right side. This level is very difficult and may
require a few attempts. Sumner's stats are:
Hint:
Mini Mr. T. Dwarf: Choose the Dwarf as your character and cycle through his colors
until you get to the one where he is black and is wearing yellow. You will
see a near exact Mr. T replica.
Hint:
Mini Skorne: When you defeat Skorne the first time, get the items he drops.
Wait until you exit the shop screen, then put them all on. You look like a
smaller version of Skorne. Note: This works best with the Dwarf.
Hint:
Frightened Death: If you find Death while wearing Anti-Death, he will get scared in
run away in one player mode. In two to four player mode, he will simply
avoid the player wearing Anti-Death and run after another player. Note: This
works best if the "Permanent Anti-Death" code is enabled.
Hint:
Anti-Death: In the game there are two Deaths, a red one that will steal 100
health and a black one that will steal 1 level. By buying plenty of
Anti-Death, you can avoiding losing health and levels. After putting on an
Anti-Death halo, Death will avoid you. Instead of just ignoring the Death,
run towards him with the Anti-Death still active. When you do this, the
powers will be reversed. With red Death, you will gain 100 hundred health
from him. With black Death, you can gain an entire level from him.
Hint:
Enlist help: Equip the "Invincibilty" code, and go to any desired
level. Find a General (recommended), Golem or Gargoyle, but do not kill it.
Instead, have it follow you around. Stand next to a group of enemies and/or
their generator and let the General, Golem or Gargoyle attack you. While
attacking you, it will also destroy enemies and their generators, leaving
you unharmed. You can destroy whatever was helping you when you get bored
with it.
Hint:
Double invincibility: Enable the "Invincibility" code, and find a second
invulnerable item. Equip both and take off the limited one. You should now
glow yellow. Each hit on you will increase your health. Note: This will
exceed your maximum health.
Hint:
Healing magic: Once your character reaches level 80, their magic, regardless of
which character, will heal a small portion of their health (even if you
destroy magic that comes from a treasure chests, a barrel or is dropped by a
general).
Hint:
Forsaken Province world: Playing tag: Somewhere on the third level of the Forsaken Province is a
glowing sphere that when touched allows you to play tag. When touched by the
person that is "it", the game will state the name of the person
that is now "it" (for example, Green Jester). Note: This does not
work in single player mode.
Hint:
Forsaken Province world: Mausoleum level: Dead man alive: Go to where you lower the wooden bridge. Walk near the coffins
and you will hear a person screaming and pounding to get out.
Hint:
Hidden Golden Item: Go to the Armory, in the Castle Realm (the fourth level in the
third realm). After defeating the giant white golem, go into the farthest
corner, directly underneath the stairs to the exit. Attack the wall directly
below the stairs. It should blink and disappear, exposing a golden feather.
Also, the runestone is in this level.
Hint:
Finding Runestones: Go to Sumner and scroll down to "Runestones". It will
tell you the next Runestone location.
If you fail to find all twelve
Runestones after defeating Skorne's first form, go back to any previous
level. If that level has a Runestone in it, a meter appears that will show
you how close you are to a Runestone. The same will happen if you cannot
find the thirteenth runestone.
Hint:
Runestone locations:
The first Runestone is in the
Forsaken Province on the Fields level. As you are going down the ramp of
the mill, destroy all the enemies. There will be a shed with gates.
Destroy the gates with an attack of any kind to get the first Runestone.
The second Runestone is in
the mausoleum of the Forsaken Province. There is a ledge with gold and a
treasure chest. Destroy the wall in the middle of them and the Runestone
can be found behind there.
The third Runestone is in the
valley region. In the cliff level, there is a part with a flame geyser and
a narrow path on the right. About three steps there is a breakable wall
with a lever and some other items. Pull the lever and it will show you
where the Runestone is located.
Hint:
Finding secret characters:
Medusa (Sorceress' secret
form):Second level of the Forsaken Province, towards the end.
Minatour (Warrior's secret form): Second level of Mountain Kingdom,
towards the end.
Unicorn (Knight's secret form): First level of Sky Dominion, towards the
end.
Falconess (Valkrie's secret form): Second level of Castle Realm, towards
the beginning.
Tigeress (Archer's secret form): Third level of Forest Realm, towards the
end.
Ogre (Dwarf's secret form): First level of Ice Domain, towards the middle.
Hynea (Jester's secret form): Third Level of Dream World close to the
middle.
Jackal (Wizard's secret form): In the second level of the Desert Lands,
towards the beginning.
Sumner: Second level of the Battle Grounds at the end.
Hint:
Avoiding traps: Use levitation to get over traps. You can walk over them when the
spikes appear.
Hint:
Screaming and shaking treasure box: When you use your x-ray vision glasses and see a skull with
cross-bones (Death) in a treasure chest, stand next to the chest, but do not
open it. Use one of your magic potion bottles. The treasure chest should
start to shake, and you will hear Death screaming.
Hint:
Turn cherries into apples: You must be at least at level 60, when you are told that your
potions can purify poisoned food. If there is a poison barrel next to a
cherry, hit the barrel. The cherry should turn into poison fruit. Next, use
a potion on the poison fruit and it should turn into an apple. Note:
Electric potions will not work.
Hint:
Video game company references: Look closely near the beginning of the Graveyard. There is an
arch which reads "Ataria", which refers to "Atari".
Also, on the back of certain flying platforms you can find the Midway logo.
Go near the sign for the first
section of levels. On the sign will be the word "Atari".
Glitch:
Different color attack: Use a fast or slow attack with your character, then immediately
use a slow attack. Your attack will be a different color.
Glitch:
Instant teleport: Before you enter a teleport, run onto the teleport then run
around in circles. It should shine, as if it is going to make you teleport,
then stop. Keep running and then run off the teleport. Instead of swirling,
it should be frozen. When you get back on and stop on it, it will instantly
teleport you. You can also do this while entering the tower.
