Gauntlet: Dark Legacy - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Gauntlet: Dark Legacy - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3-Way Shot           Buy: 550  Sell: 412   Appearance: A wooden circle with 3
arrows.
Your character will shoot 3 shots instead of 1. Using this on bosses is one
VERY good strategy. Strafing back and forth with 3-Way Shot on can do major
damage. Also use this on a large group of enemies.

-5-Way Shot           Buy: N/A  Sell: N/A   Appearance: A wooden circle with 5
arrows.
Your character will shoot 5 shots instead of 1. Using this on bosses is yet
another very effective strategy. Since this is an EXTREMELY rare item, you may
only want to use it during big bosses, like Skorne, or Garm.

-Acid Amulet          Buy: 350  Sell: 262   Appearance: A circle with a cloud
of acid.
Your character's attacks will be strengthened with acid, and your character's
weapon will glow green. Using this against tough enemies like Gargoyles or
bosses is the best strategy for this item.

-Acid Breath          Buy: 350  Sell: 262   Appearance: A cloud of acid.
Instead of a regular attack, your character will breath out a massive line of
green acid that either kills, or knocks down enemies. This item is EXTREMELY
effective against large groups of enemies. Never use this item against stage
bosses (bosses that stay in on place at the top of the screen). They will
SLAUGHTER you with their close range attacks. If you're desperate, use this
against Gargoyles, but watch out for their breath attack too.

-Anti-Death           Buy: 750  Sell: 562   Appearance: A Golden Halo
Possibly one of the most life-saving Special Item there is. When activated,
both kinds of Death will try to float away from you, rather than try to get
close to you. This is because you can drain health or experience from him! If
its a red Death, you can steal 100 health from him, and if its a black Death,
you can steal over 1 Experience Level from him! This is an effective way to
keep your health, and gain levels.

-Fire Amulet          Buy: 350  Sell: 262   Appearance: A circle with a cloud
of fire.
Your character's attacks will be strengthened with fire, and your character's
weapon will glow red. Using this against tough enemies like Gargoyles or bosses
is the best strategy for this item.

-Fire Breath          Buy: 350  Sell: 262   Appearance: A cloud of fire.
Instead of a regular attack, your character will breath out a massive line of
red fire that either kills, or knocks down enemies. This item is EXTREMELY
effective against large groups of enemies. Never use this item against stage
bosses (bosses that stay in on place at the top of the screen). They will
SLAUGHTER you with their close range attacks. If you're desperate, use this
against Gargoyles, but watch out for their breath attack too.

-Fire Shield          Buy: 425  Sell: 319   Appearance: A circular shield with
fire.
This shield can help you GREATLY when battling a large group of enemies. Just
turn it on, and plow the road! A huge semi-circle of fire will cover your whole
front side. Any enemy that touches this lightning will immediately DIE! Use
this on bosses and Gargoyles too. The shield will block all elemental balls
that may hit you.

-Gas Mask             Buy: 650  Sell: 487   Appearance: A brown gas mask.
This Gas Mask can save you tons of health. A Gas Mask will prevent your
character from losing health when he walks through a cloud of poison gas. In
Realms like the Province and the sky, there are tons of poison gas barrels
everywhere, so a Gas Mask will be extremely helpful in these two Realms.

-Growth               Buy: 300  Sell: 225   Appearance: An purple spiral
bottle.
Growth makes your character grow twice as tall! This also means that your
character will have mcuh better defensive capabilities. If your character is a
lvl 99 Legend, he will have what I call 'perma-growth', or permanent Growth.

-Hand of Death        Buy: 1000 Sell: 750   Appearance: A green hand with a
finger.
This item is very strategic. Whenever you engage an enemy in hand-to-hand
combat, the damage that the enemy inflicts on you will be re-inflicted on him!
So, when he hurts you, you take that damage, and deal it right back to him!

-Health Vampire       Buy: 1000 Sell: 750   Appearance: A locket with a heart
on it.
This is exactly like the Hand of Death except when an enemy hurts you, you
regain the health that you lost. So basically, the enemies' attacks do
absolutely nothing.

-Invisibility         Buy: 600  Sell: 450   Appearance: A translucent blue
crystal.
Your character becomes translucent on your TV screen, and totally invisible to
the enemies. Use this when you are trapped by enemies, so you can easily and
covertly escape to safety. Invisibility has no effect against bosses.

-Invulnerability      Buy: 600  Sell: 450   Appearance: A white or gold metal
cube.
Your character becomes invulnerable to all attacks inflicted upon him. The
damage does absolutely nothing. This DOES work against bosses, so use it
wisely. Also use this when you are battling a large group of enemies to
painlessly take them out, and clear the area.

-Levitation           Buy: 150  Sell: 112   Appearance: A pair of white
feathered wings.
Levitation enables your character to hover over annoying traps and ankle
biters. This could save you tons of time and health when backtracking to find a
Runestone or Legend Item. Places like the Castle Realm especially have alot of
traps so make sure you have plenty of Levitation before entering.

-Light Amulet         Buy: 350  Sell: 262   Appearance: A circle with a yellow
cloud.
Your character's attacks will be strengthened with light, and your character's
weapon will glow yellow. Using this against tough enemies like Gargoyles or
bosses is the best strategy for this item.

-Lightning Amulet     Buy: 350  Sell: 262   Appearance: A circle with a
lightning cloud.
Your character's attacks will be strengthened with blue lightning, and your
character's weapon will glow blue. Using this against tough enemies like
Gargoyles or bosses is the best strategy for this item.

-Lightning Breath     Buy: 350  Sell: 262   Appearance: A clud of blue
lightning
Instead of a regular attack, your character will breath out a massive line of
blue lightning that either kills, or knocks down enemies. This item is
EXTREMELY effective against large groups of enemies. Never use this item
against stage bosses (bosses that stay in on place at the top of the screen).
They will SLAUGHTER you with their close range attacks. If you're desperate,
use this against Gargoyles, but watch out for their breath attack too.

-Lightning Shield     Buy: 425  Sell: 319   Appearance: A shield with blue
lightning.
This shield can help you GREATLY when battling a large group of enemies. Just
turn it on, and plow the road! A huge semi-circle of lightning will cover your
whole front side. Any enemy that touches this lightning will immediately DIE!
Use this on bosses and Gargoyles too. The shield will block all elemental balls
that may hit you.

-Mikey Decoy          Buy: 1000 Sell: 750   Appearance: A glowing
jack-o-lantern.
This is one weird Special Item. This tall wobbly guy will distract enemies to
attack it, and not your character. He'll last for a good 15 seconds or so,
which will give you enough time to clear out a whole flock of enemies that are
stupid enough to attack Mikey, and not your character.

-Pheonix Familiar     Buy: 450  Sell: 337   Appearance: A magical glowing gold
eagle.
The Pheonix Familiar is almost exactly like a lvl 80 Familiar to any normal
character. Its strength is phenominal and it really packs quite a punch against
bosses and Gargoyles. If your character aleady has a Familiar, then the Pheonix
Familiar will just be another addition. The two birds will fly side by side.
The Pheonix's attack is a magical fire ball.

-Pojo                 Buy: N/A  Sell: N/A   Appearance: A glowing egg breaking
in half.
Possible the most FUN Special item in GDL! Your character immediately turns
into the tiny legendary chicken named Pojo! It would take 3 Pojo's to equal the
size of your regular character's size! Pojo's attack is exactly like the
Wizard's Familiar. It shoots a magical fire ball at the enemies. Plus, your
character's Familiar will still hover over Pojo, giving it more firepower.

-Rapid Fire           Buy: 450  Sell: 337   Appearance: A purple cloud with
white rings.
Your character's attacks will be over twice as fast, plus your character will
be a little faster when running. Use this when battling bosses and you'll be on
your way to easy victory. The bosses won't be able to attack you, plus you'll
be able to attack them more! Also use this when taking out a long line of
enemies along with their generators.

-Reflective Armor     Buy: 400  Sell: 300   Appearance: A metal shield.
When an advanced grunt or boss shoots some kind of elemental ball at you,
having this on will reflect the elemental ball right back at the enemy that
fired it at you. This DOES work against bosses, so use it to your advantage.
You will inflict damage on your enemy, and at the same time save your health!

-Reflective Shot      Buy: N/A  Sell: N/A   Appearance: A crooked steel arrow.
When your character shoots at something and misses, it'll bounce right off the
wall! This is an excellent way to be a 'sniper'. When theres a big group of
guys on the other side of a wall, shoot at a wall perpendicular to the wall
between your character and the enemies. You can attack them, but they can't
attack you.

-Shrink Enemies       Buy: N/A  Sell: N/A   Appearance: A skrinking spiral
bottle.
Your enemies will be smaller than you! This includes Gargoyles, Golems,
Generals, and any type of grunt. Unfortunately, bosses can't be shrunk in size.
=(  When an enemy is shrunk, its armor/defense or whatever you call it, is
decreased greatly. This is very helpful when you have to face a couple of
Golems or Gargoyles at one time, and have low health.

-Speed                Buy: N/A  Sell: N/A   Appearance: A brown boot with
wings.
Your character will gain about 200 speed attribute points for a limited time.
Even if your maxed in speed, you'll still gain about 200 points. This Special
Item also comes with a small dose of Rapid Fire. Use this item when on bosses
so when you strafe, you'll be much faster, plus you will fire faster. When
you're getting your butt kicked by a large group of guys, its a good idea to
put this on, and run for it.

-Stop Time            Buy: N/A  Sell: N/A   Appearance: An Hourglass.
For about 15 seconds, everything will stop in its place, except your character.
This includes all traps from poking you, all enemies from attacking you, and
all generators from producing enemies. EXTREMELY helpful when you're getting
your butt kicked by guys all around you. Just whip out your Stop Time, and kill
them, MATRIX style. (hehehe) Unfortunately, Stop Time does NOT work against
bosses... It would be pretty cool though...

-Super Shot           Buy: 400  Sell: 300   Appearance: A huge bow with a
glowing arrow.
This huge magical bow and arrow is a great way to take out a long line of
enemies, as well as their generators. Every shot is much like a full and
flashing pink Turbo Attack. Using this against bosses is extremely effective.
This is also very effective when you're in a level like the Gates of the
Underworld. There are enemies all around you firing their magical shot, and you
can do nothing about it, except evade them. Heres a solution...

-Thunder Hammer       Buy: 500  Sell: 375   Appearance: A big floating
Warhammer.
When used, your character will pound the ground with this mighty hammer and a
long stream of thunder shocks will emerge from it. This will kill all enemies
nearby, or at least make them fall down. The Thunder Hammer is almost exactly
like using your half-full Turbo Attack.

-Turbo                Buy: N/A  Sell: N/A   Appearance: Inverted Multi-colored
Pyramid.
This weird looking Power-up will totally replenish your Turbo Meter. A good
idea is to wait until you have a full Turbo Meter, then use your full Turbo
Attack. Then, flip through your Item List until you reach Turbo, then use it.
ALL of your Turbo Meter will be replenished and flashing pink, so you can use
it again. If you already have a full Turbo Meter, using Turbo will just be
wasting.

-X-Ray Glasses        Buy: 650  Sell: 487   Appearance: Glasses with green
lenses.
To put it simply, your character can see inside chests and barrels. This item
is VERY helpful when you are in a level like the Cavern in the Mountain
Kingdom, you'll see TONS of chests EVERYWHERE! Many of them contain a bomb or
Poison Fruit. With this item, you can easily scope out which chest you do and
don't want to open.

===============================
D. Quest Items
===============================

These next 6 items are the bases of the game. They're what the game is based
on, and basically, what you need to have in order to proceed with the game, so
heres a complete guide on where these items are, how to get them, and how to
use them.

-------------------------------
1) Runestones
-------------------------------
As if you haven't already heard enough about Runestones, heres some more info
on where you will find each Runestone. Every realm has at least one to two
Runestones in it, so keep your eyes peeled for any sign of a Runestone as you
fight through each level.

((R) = Runestone)

(R) No.|  Realm  |  Level
-------+---------+------------
   1   | Province| Fields
   2   | Province| Mausoleum
   3   | Mountain| Valley
   4   | Castle  | Armory
   5   | Sky     | Docks
   6   | Sky     | Mothership
   7   | Forest  | Roots
   8   | Desert  | Ruins
   9   | Ice     | Camp
  10   | Ice     | Mine
  11   | Dream   | Nightmare
  12   | Dream   | Illusion
  13   | Battle  | Fortress

(See Walkthrough Chapter for more details on the locations of the Runestones,
and how to get them.)

-------------------------------
2) Shards
-------------------------------
After you defeat a boss in the first eight realms, they will give a Shard, a
mystical piece of the magical stained-glass window in Sumner's Tower. Collect
all eight Shards to reassemble the window and enter Skorne's Desecrated Temple.
Below is a list of the Shard numbers, which Realm they're in, and which boss
you get it from.

Shard No.|   Realm    |    Boss
---------+------------+-------------
    1    | Province   | Lich
    2    | Mountain   | Dragon
    3    | Castle     | Chimera
    4    | Sky        | Plague Fiend
    5    | Forest     | Spider Queen
    6    | Desert     | Genie
    7    | Ice        | Yeti
    8    | Dream      | Wraith

-------------------------------
3) Golden Icons
-------------------------------
After you defeat a Gargoyle in any level, it will give you a Golden Icon. A
Golden Icon allows you to access different parts of Sumner's Tower. There are 3
different types of Golden Icons, eached used to open different parts of
Sumner's Tower. You can also find Golden Icons in levels too, but its usually
pretty hard to find and obtain them, especially in the harder levels., like the
ones in the East Wing. Below describes each Golden Icon.

((GI) = Golden Icon)

Type of (GI)|  Gargoyle  |Part They Open |No. Needed
------------+------------+---------------+-----------
 Fangs      | Serpent    | West Wing     | 12
 Feather    | Eagle      | East Wing     | 20
 Claw       | Lion       | Battle Grounds| 28

-------------------------------
4) Legend Items
-------------------------------
Legend Items make fighting bosses MUCH, MUCH easier. There is one Legend Item
in each Realm, excluding the Battle Grounds, and the Underworld. These two
Realms don't have an Item Legend for their boss. The Legend Item you find in a
Realm, will never be the item you use against that Realm's boss, except for
two: The Dream Realm, and the Desecrated Temple. The Legend Item that you find
in these Realms WILL be used against that Realm's boss. Below is a list of the
9 Legend Items, what Realm and level they're found in, and what boss they're
used against.

        Legend Item            |  Realm   |   Level  |  Boss
-------------------------------+----------+----------+-------------
 Parchment of Fire             | Province | Cemetary | Yeti
 Javelin of Blinding           | Mountain | Cavern   | Plague Fiend
 Ice Axe                       | Castle   | Barracks | Dragon
 Book of Protection (Good Book)| Sky      | Shipyard | Lich
 Scimitar of Decapitation      | Forest   | Branches | Chimera
 Toxic Bellows                 | Desert   | Pyramid  | Spider Queen
 Lamp of Dark Obstruction      | Ice      | Fissure  | Genie
 Lantern of Revelation         | Dream    | Grounds  | Wraith
 Soul Savior                   | Temple   | Temple   | Skorne

(See Walkthrough Chapter for more details on the locations of the Legend Items
and how to obtain them.)

-------------------------------
5) Crystals
-------------------------------
For all of you people that used to play Gauntlet Legends for the Nintendo 64,
Crystals are like Obelisks. Obelisks were used to unlock the other Realms, as
do Crystals. On Gauntlet Legends, the storyline says that Skorne drained Sumner
of all his power and locked them in Obelisks, that he hid in each Realm. On
GDL, its different. Sumner is just exhausted as heck after fighting Skorne;
Skorne never physically drained him from his power. To give Sumner more power
to unlock the other Realms, you must collect Crystals that lie around each
Realm. These Crystals come in eight different colors, each color for one of the
eight realms. Below is a list of what color of Crystal will open what Realm,
and how many Crystals it takes to do so.

 Color  |Realm It Opens| No. Needed
--------+--------------+------------
 Orange | Province     | 15
 Red    | Mountain     | 100
 Purple | Castle       | 125
 Blue   | Sky          | 150
 Green  | Forest       | 175
 Yellow | Desert       | 200
 White  | Ice          | 225
 Black  | Dream        | 250

-------------------------------
6) Coins
-------------------------------
Like in Gauntlet Legends for N64, collecting Coins earns you Secret Characters.
If you collect a certain amount of coins, a Secret Character will be unlocked
and available for you to change into. In Gauntlet Legends, your character had
to collect 50 Coins in order to earn the Secret Character, and there were 100
Coins total in the Treasure Room, so it was fairly easy to gain the Secret
Character. However on GDL, you must collect 25 Coins in order to get the Secret
Character. But, if theres only 1 player playing, then there will be only 25
Coins in the Treasure Room! If there are 2 players playing there will be 50, 3
players 75, and 4 players 100. The trick is, you must get ALL the Coins in the
Treasure Room in order to earn the Secret Character! Its not every man for
themselves, each Coin a player gets will be added together. If only 1 player
plays, they must get all 25 Coins on the map, if 2 players play, they both have
to collect a total of 50 Coins, etc. Its a whole team effort. The more players
there are, the harder it is to collect all the Coins within the time limit.
Below is a list of what Realm and Level each Treasure is in, and what Secret
Character you will get if you collect all the coins.

*Note*
The Secret Character Sumner is only obtainable if the first eight Secret
Characters (Jackal, Warrior, Falconess, Tigress, Sorceress, Ogre, Unicorn, and
Hyena) are already obtained.

((TR) = Treasure Room)

(TR) No.|   Realm   |  Level  | Secret Character
--------+-----------+---------+------------------
   1    | Province  | Town    | Medusa
   2    | Mountain  | Peak    | Minotaur
   3    | Castle    | Dungeon | Falconess
   4    | Sky       | Spire   | Unicorn
   5    | Forest    | Tree    | Tigress
   6    | Desert    | Temple  | Jackal
   7    | Ice       | Docks   | Ogre
   8    | Dream     | House   | Hyena
   9    | Battle    | Towers  | Sumner

===============================
E. Treasure
===============================

Treasure is the same thing as Gold. You can find Treasure lying around the
levels, in chests, or in barrels. Treasure is used to buy Food, Power-ups,
and/or Attribute Points at the Shop. You can find many different types of
Treasure throughout the land. Below is a list of each type of Treasure, and
their worth.

*Note*
Bronze, Silver, and Gold Coins are found after bosses are defeated. These Coins
are completely different than the Coins used to unlock Secret Characters, so
don't get those two confused.

  Type of Treasure   | Worth
---------------------+-------
                Junk | 10
              Silver | 100
          Small Gold | 150
 Small Sacks of Gems | 150
                Gold | 200
      Gold with Gems | 250
       Sacks of Gold | 250
                Gems | 300
       Sacks of Gems | 300
Small Barrel of Gold | 500
         Bronze Coin | 500
Large Barrel of Gold | 1000
         Silver Coin | 1000
           Gold Coin | 5000

===============================
F. Shopping
===============================

To access the Shopping menu, press (Sta) at any time, except while playing a
level, then go to Shop. Your screen will turn into the four column screen
again, and you can begin shopping. Also, at the end of every level, you will
automatically be in the four column screen, and you'll eventually reach the
shopping menu, and you can start shopping. Ok, there are 33 total buyable items
in GDL. These include Common Items (Potions, Keys, etc.), Health, Special
Items, and Attribute Points. Below is a list of all the buyable items, and how
much Gold it costs to buy them. To sell your items, press (-Y-). You will be
given three-fourths of the items worth.

       Item      | Buy  | Sell
-----------------+------+------
       20 Health | 50   | N/A
             Key | 100  | 75

       +10 Magic | 1000 | N/A
       +10 Speed | 1000 | N/A

===============================
G. Skorne's Special Items
===============================

After you defeat Skorne in his Desecrated Temple, instead of giving out money,
you get his 4 Special Items. These 4 Special Items are his Left Gauntlet, his
Right Gauntlet, his Mask, and his Horns. You turn on these items as you
regularly would in the Item List. In the Item List, the Left Gauntlet will be
labeled as BossGauntletL, the Right Gauntlet will be labeled as BossGauntletR,
the Mask will be labeled as BossMask, and the Horns will be labeled as
BossHorns. Once you battle True Skorne or Garm, using Skorne's Special Items
will be EXTREMELY effective. It seems like Garm has an endless amount of life,
but every time you have the Left or Right Gauntlet turned on, your attacks will
take away about a millimeter of health from Garm's health meter! This may not
sound like alot, but attacks with an Amulet on don't even take away a tiny spec
of Garm's health! This just shows the power and strength of Skorne's Items.
Below are some brief descriptions of Skorne's 4 Special Items.

-Left Gauntlet: Almost exactly like the Lightning Amulet, except its twice as
powerful. Your character's attacks will be strengthened with Lightning, plus
it'll do much, much more damage.

-Right Gauntlet: Your Familiar's attacks will turn to acid and will deal out at
least twice as much damage as it did before. Skorne's Right Gauntlet also gived
you Rapid Fire.

-Mask: Your character will look like Skorne himself! ...Except he's still the
same size, he's not 100 feet tall... (darn!) Anyways this item is almost
exactly like the Fire Breath, but yet again, its more than twice as powerful.

-Horns: This item is EXACTLY like the Mask, except for one thing... You look
more like a deer than you do Skorne!

(Credits to GameFreak903 for these items and their descriptions!)

VII) ENEMIES
===============================
-------------------------------

There are many different kinds of enemies in GDL. This chapter is dedicated to
the explanations of all the different kinds of enemies, varying from Ankle
Biters and Grunts, to Traps and Death. This is a full and complete guide on all
the enemies of all the worlds in GDL.
===============================

Areas
-----
A. Regular Enemies
  1) Generators
  2) Ankle Biters
  3) Grunts
  4) Advanced Grunts
  5) Others
     a) Suicide Bombers
     b) Archers and Bomb Throwers
B. Rare Enemies
  1) Generals
  2) Golems
  3) Gargoyles
  4) Death
C. Traps

===============================
A. Regular Enemies
===============================

When I say "Regular Enemies" i'm talking about your normal, common, everday
enemies. You will see Regular Enemies VERY MANY times as you battle through
each level. Generators, Ankle Biters, Grunts, Advanced Grunts, Suicide Bombers,
and Archers and Bomb Throwers are all classified as Regular Enemies, because
you see them sometimes hundreds of times per level.

-------------------------------
1) Generators
-------------------------------
Generators are the backbone of Skorne's battalions. They generate, or create,
enemies almost every second. Killing these should be your first priority when
entering a level. Generators that spawn grunts are usually on walls, but can be
found lying on the ground. All this depends on what Realm you're in, and what
kind of enemy you're battling. Generators that spawn ankle biters are always on
the ground. Generators that spawn advanced grunts are usually on walls, but
again, they can be found lying on the ground. All this depends on what Realm
you're in and what kind of enemy you're battling. The bigger the generator, the
bigger and stronger the enemy that spawns from that generator will be.
Generators NEVER spawn Suicide Bombers, Archers, or Bomb Throwers. These three
enemies just sit around looking for a target to suicidingly kill, or someone to
shoot at. Generators can be just about anything, from outhouses to piles of
bones, so keep your eye out for something that is spawning enemies, and destroy
it as soon as possible.

-------------------------------
2) Ankle Biters
-------------------------------
Ankle Biters are those annoying, pesty little guys that try to bite at your
ankles! They spawn from a generator on the ground. Ankle Biters never really
try to attack you, they just walk around like their intoxicated, until you step
in their path, then they'll start attacking you. I remember while I was playing
a game once, I watched a Scorpion (Ankle Biter for the Mountain Kingdom) just
go around in circles for almost a minute! lmao. Then I just went up and kicked
it... Anyways if you have Levitation on, you can hover over Ankle Biters!
You'll just fly over them like their not even there! But, on the con side, your
Familiar's attacks will fly right over them too, so you can only kill them by
walking on/kicking them, or shooting them with your character's original
attack. When you kill an Ankle Biter, they give your character

-------------------------------
3) Grunts
-------------------------------
Grunts are the most popular enemy you'll see throughout every level. They are
those guys that walk up to you very slowly, and expect to kill you. They can
come out of generators on a wall, or generators on the ground. When Grunts come
out of their generator, they immediately start marching towards your character.
A good Special Item to use when battling a large group of these is your 3-Way
Shot. It can VERY easily take out a huge amount of Grunts in one area. Plus,
unlike the Ankle Biters, your Familiar's attacks WILL hit Grunts. Using Potions
is also an effective way to get rid of enemy Grunts.

-------------------------------
4) Advanced Grunts
-------------------------------
Like regular Grunts, Advanced Grunts spawn from both generators on the walls,
and generators on the ground. You won't see these guys until the third or
fourth level in the Realm, so you won't have to deal with these guys until
you're pretty far in the Realm. Advanced Grunts are the new guys that you'll
see in videos. (ex. In the Cave in the Mountain Kingdom, at the very beginning,
you will see a small movie, and it shows little Fire Demons jumping out of
their generators.) These are the Advanced Grunts. Use the same techniques that
you would use against regular Grunts, and you'll be in good shape when battling
these overgrown mutts.

-------------------------------
5) Others
-------------------------------
'Others' are the guys that really don't fall under a certain category, just
guys that are out there.

a) Suicide Bombers
===============================
Suicide Bombers' only objective is to kill you, in a very different manner than
other enemies. They run at you with some sort of explosive, or chemical that
will harm you. Suicide Bombers come in 2 forms: Poisonus and Explosive.
Poisonus ones have a green barrel strapped to their back that contains harmful
poisonus gas. Explosive ones have a red barrel strapped to their back that
contains explosives. When a Poisonus Suicide Bomber runs up to you, and
explodes, the explosion itself will cause damage, along with the poisonus gas
that was inside the barrel. Same thing with the Explosive Suicide Bomber,
except that when he explodes, there is damage from the initial explosion and
from the explosion from the red barrel on his back. Poisonus Suicide Bomber's
attacks don't do as much damage as a Explosion Suicide Bomber's, but the
Poisonus Gas remains in a small cloud there for a few seconds, so it can easily
make up for the damage difference.

b) Archers and Bomb Throwers
===============================
These guys can definitely qualify for the most ANNOYING enemies in the game.
Out of nowhere, Archers and Bomb Throwers will start attacking you, whether
they're right in front of you, on a ledge right above you, or just floating
around in the middle of nowhere. (you'll see ALOT of this in the Dream World.)
The easiest way to get rid of them is to throw a potion towards them, or use
your Turbo Attack. You'll want to take out these guys first, they're attacks
can easily add up to inflict a phenominal amount of damage. Archers and Bomb
Throwers are usually in places where you normally can't attack them, or on
narrow pieces of land. (ex. bridges, some ledges, etc.) Sometimes, they just
sit there looking at you, dazed, so you can easily take them out. I stress the
word 'Sometimes'...

===============================
B. Rare Enemies
===============================

Rare Enemies are the enemies that you'll only see once or twice per level, or
even per Realm! Most of these enemies have very special characteristics.
Generals, Golems, Gargoyles, and Death are all Rare Enemies. Check the Battle
Strategies section for strategies on how to defeat these evil creatures.

-------------------------------
1) Generals
-------------------------------
Generals aren't that tough. They're the guys that have some kind of big weapon,
and tremendous speed. Once they see you, they'll charge right at you until
they're close enough to where they can get a couple good slices on you.
These guys will probably attack you alot, but the damage they inflict is very
minimal. Generals don't have a health meter, so you'll have to keep shooting at
them until they fall face down on the ground. After you kill a General, most of
the time a little brown bag will pop up from his dead body, and will open up.
Most of the time, there will be a small item like a Cherry or a Key, but
sometimes the bag can contain a Steak or a Special Item.

-------------------------------
2) Golems
-------------------------------
Golems are alot like Generals, except they don't stand around and wait for you.
They 'hibernate'. (hehehe) All you'll see is a little rock, then when you come
up to it, it'll spring out, and create a Golem that slowly marches toward you.
The best way to kill a Golem is to simply shoot it with your character's
attack, or your Turbo Attack. Using your Potions is very weak against Golems.
Golems do have a health meter, so you can easily see your progress when
battling a Golem. When you defeat a Golem, he'll act like he's being blown away
by a tornado, then turn white, then disappear. Like the General, Golems when
defeated will give of a small brown bag that contains an item of some sort.

-------------------------------
3) Gargoyles
-------------------------------
Gargoyles are nothing like Generals or Golems, except for the fact that they
have a health meter. Gargoyles are big, black, mean, and ugly! To kill a
Gargoyle, using Potions is more effective than regularly shooting them. When a
Gargoyle has been killed, it'll give away a brown bag, yet again, but this time
you'll know whats inside, a Golden Icon. In the Province and Mountain Realms,
the Gargoyles have a serpent's head indicating that when defeated, the brown
bag will contain Golden Fangs. In the Castle, Sky, and Forest Realms, the
Gargoyles will have an eagle's head, indicating that the brown bag will contain
a Golden Feather. In the Desert, Ice, and Dream Realms, the Gargoyles will have
a lion's head, indicating that the brown bag will contain a Golden Claw.
Serpents shoot and breathe acid, eagles shoot and breathe lightning, and lions
shoot and breathe fire.

-------------------------------
4) Death
-------------------------------
Death, what can I say? He's a true classic. Death comes in two forms. Red Death
and Black Death. Red Death will take away up to 100 Health from your character,
then leave. If you have Anti-Death on, you can take 100 Health from him, then
he'll leave. Black Death will take away at least 1 Experience Level from your
Character, then he'll leave. If you have Anti-Death on, you can take away at
least 1 Experience Level from HIM! This is a VERY good way to level up your
character. To get rid of Death, you can use a Potion. The ONLY alternate way to
gt rid of him is to shoot him 100 times, and believe me, this is alot harder
than it sounds. Death is one reason why you should ALWAYS have a Potion or two
on your belt.

===============================
C. Traps
===============================

Traps are those VERY annoying little things that pop up out of nowhere to do
very minor damage to you, and to stall you. These things are especially
annoying when you have totally cleared out a level, and are going back for a
Runestone or something. Its just 'coincidence' that they pop up EVERY time you
walk on them... Anyways, there are 2 types of Traps. Traps on walls, and Traps
on the ground. Traps on the walls come in many different forms, from vines, to
laser beams. Traps on the ground also come on many forms, like buzzsaws and
metal spikes. All these Traps do no more than 10 damage, but if you keep
running over them one after another, your health can decrease VERY rapidly.

===============================
VIII) The Worlds, Bosses,
        and Walkthrough
===============================
-------------------------------

Here we go. The heart of this FAQ/Walkthrough... Throughout the walkthrough, I
will be labeling each step of the way with a - (hyphen). Directions on how to
get Quest Items such as Runestones or Legend Items are labeled with a *
(asterisk). So, if you are wanting to know where the switch to a door is,
you'll want to search for the texts marked with hyphens, and if you are looking
to see how you get the Javelin of Blinding, you'll want to search for the texts
marked with an asterisk. There will be no more than one set of asterisks per
level, since there is no more than one Quest Item per level.
