Dragon's Lair 3D - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Dragon's Lair 3D - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

*CHECKERBOARDS*


Jump onto the big checkered grid.  Dragonlings will appear.  As you kill each
one a piece of the section will tilt, then vanish to appear up ahead as part
of a bridge.  Use your sword initially and when room gets tight switch to 
crossbow and flame arrows.  The last three tiles will tilt and vanish.  When
you're on the last one switch to glider and start gliding forward.  When you
land a bunch of goons with crossbows appear.  Cut your way forward with the
sword flame and exit.  Grab the potions.

The biggest threat in this next room is the white magic that shoots 
periodically down the path.  I say make your way down as fast as possible, stay
to the side out of the white magic's way.  Move fast so the dragonlings don't 
sucker-punch you from behind.  Near the last rolling ball switch to glider to
help you get to the exit.

You'll appear in what looks like another dimension with floating tiles.  The 
big structures that are first on your left and right--TWO CROWNS are there, one
on each in the back.  The floating tiles are safe spots--When you get near 
them an entire tiled floor will cover them, then vanish after a few seconds.  
You need to see where the next safe spot is and make it there before the floor
gives way.  If you're in trouble glide while the floor is gone.  Remain calm 
as the dragonlings approach and crossbow them with fire arrows.  As you proceed
goons with crossbows will appear.  Any place they do is a safe spot.  Use flame
arrows on them.  At the other end glide to the door, zigzagging abit to avoid 
dragonlings from behind, unless you took them all out, which is safest.


*PORTAL ROOM*


Two mana cells.  Two knights coming at you.  Dispatch the knights and move
forward so you can see the cell stands.  Two more knights than four smithees.
Afterwards place one of the mana cells on the stand and a bunch of drgaonlings
appear.  Beat them by running around a lot and swinging with the fire sword.
Fill up on health then bring the other cell to its stand to open the portal.


*BOSS--MORDROC*


Mordroc is fairly easy.  The only thing that can hurt him is a magic arrow, 
and you only got one...or none.  Lock on and shoot him with it and move around
Mordroc will fire magic that's hard to see but easy to hear.  When he does 
check the other direction--sometimes dragonlings form when his magic hits the 
circular ledge you are on.  Kill the dragonlings; they yield health and most 
importantly, more magic arrows.  Mordroc will also shoot a roving laser, so
jump over it or keep moving while slashing dragonlings.  He will also shoot 
out rays of green sparks.  

Five hits and he switches to dragon form.  Lock on to watch him.  He'll come
to hovering.  Start dancing to one side; he might spew electricity.  
If he does, immediately undo lock and run in the opposite direction, then 
re-lock and wait for hovering again.  If he shoots a fireball, manuever a bit
and block it; your sword will charge.  He will most likely shoot
a fireball if he comes to hovering in the same half circle as you.
When your sword is charged, swing then immediately start running.  Mordroc
will shriek then fall with a huge thud.  Run quickly to where he lands and 
strike.  Repeat the above as needed.  Your sword will not stay charged long,
so swing as soon as possible when it is.  About six hits and he's finished.  
Enjoy the ending, and possibly the end credits.
