INTRODUCTION G0100 =============================================================================== Welcome to 'Seikima II: Akuma no Gyakushuu' for the NES, released by CBS Sony Group in 1986. It was only released in Japan. The subtitle translates to "Devil's Counterattack". SEIKIMA-II is a popular Japanese Heavy Metal band formed by Damian Hamada in 1982. They disbanded on December 31, 1999. SEIKIMA-II translates to "End of the Century". Their history, as it has been prophesized, is that they are a group of demons preaching a religion in order to propagate Satan through the use of Heavy Metal. Each member is a demon of a different hierarchical class with His Excellency Demon Kogure being leader of demons and His Majesty Damian Hamada being crown prince of hell. In accordance to the prophecy and after completing the world conquest, the band would disband at the end of the century on December 12th, 1999 at 23:59:59. [WikiPedia] Suggestions, comments or errors - tell me about it. Enjoy! =============================================================================== 02.) BASICS G0200 =============================================================================== Basics: ``````` Each zone is divided into several areas. You need to collect all the items (excluding potions and bonuses) to open up the exits in order to move on. You start out with 999 life and it drops down with every second. Collecting a normal potion will increase it by 300. You can also purchase these at the shop. There may also be potions hidden somewhere in the zones as well. The maximum amount of life is 3000. All but the 8th area have a shop in the form of an eye. Jump into it to start shopping for useful items. Each area features one music instrument you can buy. Getting all instruments leads to the real ending, the good ending, rather than a bad one. You should be able to collect enough money to buy these without any problems. Enemies continuously drop from above the area. Either avoid them until they leave the room via the holes or shoot them with your weapon. At the start of the game you can just throw Rocks which is good enough at the time. Regularly upgrading your weapon is important and unless you spend all the money on life potions you should have enough for it. Other enemies that occupy the area will go back and forth, patrolling a line. For example the statues in Zone 1 and the balloons in Zone 2. You cannot destroy them but shooting will make them turn around and go the other direction. If they are currently docked at one end you can also shoot them so they start moving. This can sometimes be a good way to lure it away from where you want to go, or if you want it to move now because another enemy is coming up from somewhere else. You will recognize to use this strategy once you start playing. When they do not move, they do not harm you. Shooting will thus make it possible to cross their path for a split second. Be careful as they will begin their patrol again soon. You can freely tackle any area you want as long as you clear them all in the end. There are many paths interconnecting them. Once you cleared an area you can come back to it and it will still be empty of the items you have collected earlier. Because your life drains with each extra time spent inside the area, it is best to complete it in timely manner and not waste any moments traveling around too much. Every area sans the eighth also contain secret bonuses. You don't need to collect these, yet they add extra points, money and even life. Check the individual listings if you think it is worth getting them, as sometimes a bonus point is not worth risking extra time and life on. If you don't play for, points for example, wasting time on a 5,000 bonus creature is not recommended. Money bags and potions on the other hand are a great way too boost your life, as you can spend more money on life potions too. Controls: ````````` ______| |____________________________ | ............. | | .............

B A | |_____________________________________| Left, Right Move Down Descend exit A Jump B Fires Rocks SELECT Cycle through shop items START Pause/Resume The main character, Demon, can only jump up if the above platform is one step next to it. However, you can stand on the edge and bridge one block spaces. For example, the following jump upwards is possible if you stand on the edge of the left block, then jump up and turn right as you are in the air. _ _ | | | | | | If the gap is more than one block, this kind of jump is not possible. Additionally, the maximum height he can get up to is over three brick layers. He can also jump across chasms up to and including three blocks wide. If the gap is shorter then you might overjump and fall down on the other side. Finally, jumping is much faster than walking. If you are on a long empty stretch, dash jump forward a few times and you save precious seconds. Just keep in mind that you might run into enemies faster this way, too! Score: `````` The game keeps score in the top left corner. Picking up items yields points as well as defeating enemies. Foes killed in quick succession will multiple the points awarded for the kills. For example the first one is worth 50 points, the second then 100, third one 150 and so on. After getting a small chain going, the seventh enemy will drop a 5x money bag. Killing anything shortly thereafter (i.e. continuing the chain) results in more money bags, but the time between kills must be shorter than the regular chain. The small knights in the eight areas are worth 2,000 points each. Watch out for hidden bonus points. Shops: `````` The weapon upgrades are only available if the previous one has been purchased. If not then the old weapon is on offer first, re-enter the shop once you have bought it to see the latest weapon for sale. You obtain money from picking up the money bags, including secret ones for an extra boost. Upgrading weapons is important to keep your attack rate high, the instruments are for a bonus ending and the potions are simply for healing. Zone 1: 10 Potion 20 Knife 30 Guitar Zone 2: 10 Potion 20 Hammer 30 Drums Zone 3: 10 Potion 20 Flame 30 Guitar Zone 4: 10 Potion 20 Batterang 30 Guitar Cheats: ``````` To skip ahead to another zone, enter the following code at the main screen: B, A, A, B, A, A, B, A, A, A, B, A, B When the number appears at the bottom of the screen, use A to go up and B go down a zone. However, this skips buying any instruments in the previous zones. When you get the Game Over screen, hold down the A and B buttons on Controller 2 and press START on Controller 1 to continue in the area where you died. Your score is reset to 0, but you have 1000 life and keep your items/weapons. To fix your Life at the current score, set address 0037 to 07. This kind of works like God Mode, only that you will still raise the arms in the air when getting touched. =============================================================================== 03.) WALKTHROUGH G0300 =============================================================================== Overall Collectibles: Ghosts 241 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zone 1: Jail G0310 ```````````` Collectibles: Ghosts 63 Apples 51 Heads 36 _ |1| ¯ / | \ _ _ _ |2| |6| |4| ¯ ¯ ¯ | | | _ _ _ |3| |7| |5| ¯ ¯ ¯ | _ |8| ¯ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 1: Ghosts 11 o o Apples 6 o o Heads 5 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo If you jump on the block on the right of the two tree stumps and just above an exit, then hit your head into the block above, this will reveal some bonus cash. Bonus: On the right side there are two large logs. Stand on the small block to the right and jump into the ceiling to find a 5x money bag. The shop is in the top right corner, you have to jump to it from the left side. The left exit takes you to Area 2, middle to Area 6 and right to Area 4. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 2: Ghosts 10 o o Apples 10 o o Heads 7 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo That empty area on the left sure looks suspicious - because it is. Jump up and hit the top left corner for another five bonus cash. Bonus: On the left side, jump up the small blocks and then jump into the ceiling on the left corner for a 5x money bag. The shop is in the center, but you have to get around on the right side. The left exit is to Area 1, the right one to Area 3. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 3: Ghosts 6 o o Apples 6 o o Heads 5 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo You need to head to the right and climb up here. Then don't try to fall down as you can reach everything without having to return up here. Bonus: Shoot into the bottom left corner for a small creature to appear. Shoot it before it runs away or into you, for 5000 bonus points. The shop is at the far left, you will reach it while trying to collect everything. The only exit is to return to Area 2. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 4: Ghosts 7 o o Apples 6 o o Heads 2 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Assuming you want to advance to Area 5 at this point. Grab the stuff on the left (the shop is just a little further if you need it), then return right and start climbing the platforms. At the top, walk left a bit for a few items but then go right first. Grab the heads and the potion and then time yourself for the statue head near the exit. Bonus: On the left side, one column to the right of the shop is another wooden block. Jump into it from below to get a 5x money bag. The shop is at the left side, easily jumped from the floor or top side. The left exit returns to Area 1, the right exit goes to Area 5. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 5: Ghosts 11 o o Apples 6 o o Heads 2 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo This is another dead end, so all you want to do is collect the items. It is a little tedious as you often need to fall down and return to the top for the item just next to it. Bonus: If you shoot into the bottom right corner, a small creature will appear and start to run left. Shoot it for 5,000 points. On the right side, stand right between the two large logs (one on the left, two on the right) and push down when you are at the bottom floor. You will descend into another room containing 28 money bags. This must be done after collecting all items and unlocking the exists. The shop is somewhere on the right. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 6: Ghosts 5 o o Apples 6 o o Heads 4 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo This level is pretty straightforward. Grab the Apples in the first corridor, then get into the top left corner. Make your way to the right side and then to the exit below. Bonus: On the left side, go up and around the left side and jump over to the right. Stand on the rightmost log and jump into the chain ceiling to find a hidden potion. There is shop just before the exit. You started out on the left which takes you back to Area 5. The exit on the right continues to Area 7. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 7: Ghosts 7 o o Apples 4 o o Heads 6 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Start out be getting the heads on the left, then reach the upper area. Jump left to the furthest stump. The second column from the left side has a hidden potion in the ceiling. Jump into it to make it appear. Once you have everything here, get back up and start walking right. Jump into the stump as you see the apples and then grab the rest on the right side. Bonus: Stand on top of the left most logs, which are two small ones on top of a larger one. Jump into the chain ceiling to find a secret potion. You may also find this by accident when jumping over from the left side, because it is easy to overjump this and fall down on the left. Be careful. There is shop in the top right corner next to the potion. The exit to Area 8 is on the right, return to Area 6 on the left where you started out. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 8: Ghosts 6 o o Apples 7 o o Heads 5 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Get collecting all the items. It requires some backtracking into the middle where the cage is guarded by some knight. You can try to kill him. He also throws some starts that will hurt you even far away. Once you have collected all the items, jump through the coffins to find a key. Collect the key and open up the cage to complete the first zone. I hope you did not forget to buy the guitar by now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zone 2: Raiden G0320 `````````````` Collectibles: Ghosts 57 Apples 25 Heads 33 (Although the shop says 53) _ |1| ¯ / | \ _ _ _ |2| |8| |5| ¯ ¯ ¯ | | _ _ |3| |6| ¯ ¯ | | _ _ |4| |7| ¯ ¯ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 1: Ghosts 6 o o Plants - o o Heads - o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A simple start, go up the stepping stones on the right and then drop off when you can. Grab the money and ghost costumes as you make your way to the top right where the shop is. It is a good idea to upgrade your weapon already if you can. Bonus: On the far right, bump your head into the block just right of the single one, and one away from the wall to find a 5x money bag. The exit on the left leads to Area 2, whereas the one on the right leads to Area 5. The middle one goes to Area 8 but it is only open once you complete all the others. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 2: Ghosts 13 o o Plants 3 o o Heads 3 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Get the ghosts on the left and then walk all the way right. Jump up here and the over to the second ledge. Drop down when it's clear and then back up on the other side when the upper balloon has gone to the right. Collect the three heads without dropping down, then return right a few steps and leap up to the highest ledge. First go left and jump over, then return and drop down on the right side where two money bags hang in the air. Now return up there once more and drop down for the other bag. If you don't want to visit the shop, collect the plants on the right first because then you don't have to come back up a third time. Bonus: Towards the left side, before reaching the step-like layers, jump into the block that is one to the right of the lower one. There are three heads next to it and a balloon going left and right. The block contains a 5x money bag. The shop is, however, on the right side on the top level if you want to go there. Take the right exit to Area 3, or return to Area 1 on the left. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 3: Ghosts o o Plants o o Heads o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Start by grabbing the ghosts just above your head. Go right until you can't go further and then jump up where the balloon patrols and then jump to the right. After you dropped down into the bottom right corner, return up and start jumping left. At the top right corner, jump down to get the last few items. Bonus: Above the right exit, one step to the right, jump up into the corner of the platforms above to find a hidden potion. The shop is on the right, upper midlevel. You have to drop down from above on the right side. You can make it from the left side but it's a risky jump. The exit on the right takes you to Area 4, the left one back to Area 2. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 4: Ghosts 7 o o Plants 7 o o Heads 4 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Grab the items above your head before heading right. Jump all the way up here and then collect the items in the small alcove below. Continue left and grab everything as you make your way the left wall. Bonus: As you make your way through the upper left side in this linear level, when you reach the middle of the left side, shoot the left wall to find a golden pig. It will run right (and damage you when touching) so quickly shoot it for 5,000 points. The shop is in the top left corner. If you follow the guide above you will get to it at the end. The only exit is back to Area 3. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 5: Ghosts 6 o o Plants 4 o o Heads 4 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Go right and get everything on the ledges. When you reach the right wall, jump up and stay there until you reach the left wall. Some jumps require precision but nothing too hard. When you reach the shop, drop down and collect the last few items before returning right to the exit. Bonus: Three steps to the right of the left exit there is a lone snowy block high up in the air. Jump into it from underneath to find a 5x money bag. The shop is at the top left. Exit on the right to reach Area 6, or return to Area 1 via the left hole. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 6: Ghosts 7 o o Plants 0 o o Heads 4 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jump on the ledge above and get the items. Then jump to the right and continue until those ledges run out. The enemies will all drop past so just let them. Next up, jump up on the left side and grab everything on the highest platform. Near the right side are some smaller ones that need better jump precision. I also suggest letting the balloon hit you to pass by because otherwise you might fall down. If you are fast enough, before you get up there let it go to the left side and then start pacing to the right before it catches up. Bonus: On the left side, stand on the lower of the three step-like platforms and bump into the ceiling of the platform above to find a 5x money bag. The shop is on the right, jump into it from below. The left exit goes back to Area 5 whereas the right continues to Area 7. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 7: Ghosts 4 o o Plants 3 o o Heads 7 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Collect the money bags above, then go right and jump up to the ledge where the balloon stops. Jump over to the small blocks all the way right. Now return back to the left side, jump up when the balloon is away to get the three heads, then continue up on the left to the shop. When you reach the large gap on the right side, jump over it first for some money, continue if you want the potion, but drop down on the left to get the last two heads. Bonus: From the exit, shoot into the first step on the right to find a golden pig. Shoot it for 5,000 points. At the spot where the pig came out, descend into another area to find money bags. This must be done after collecting all items and unlocking the exists. The shop is on the left side, simply jump up to reach it. Take the only exit back to Area 6. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 8: Ghosts 6 o o Plants 5 o o Heads 6 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Grab the ghosts above, then walk right and pick up the heads above the red steel bar. Before going further right, jump to the cage and take the three money bags and the two ghosts on the left of it. Stand on the high ledge on the right and kill the knight before he does too much damage. Around five hits should kill him. Go back up and stand on the edge of the cage, so you can jump right to the red steel bar. Go along at the top, the two money bags can be gotten in one go if you jump to the right one from underneath and then the other one from the red steel bar. Now that you have all the important items, open the coffins. You can get the potion in the corner at the same time. Return to get the key and finally open the cage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zone 3: Ace G0330 ``````````` Collectibles: Ghosts 46 Candles 40 Heads 34 (Although the shop says 3) _ |1| ¯ / | \ _ _ _ |2| |8| |5| ¯ ¯ ¯ | \ | \ _ _ _ _ |3| - |4| |6| - |7| ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 1: Ghosts 10 o o Candles 6 o o Heads 4 o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jump up between the first two pillars, wait your chance to get up into the top left corner and then start making your way right. Clear both the lower and middle level and then jump to the highest ledge on the right side. Make your way left and get the rest of the stuff. If you bump into the second platform from the bottom, right in the middle, you will find a hidden potion. Bonus: Jump up between the two right exits to find a hidden potion. The shop is on the right wall, below two heads. The left exit goes to Area 2, where as the right goes to Area 5. The exit next to the right one goes to Area 8, but only opens once you clear all other seven areas. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 2: Ghosts 4 o o Candles 6 o o Heads 6 o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Walk right and jump through the gap when the spiked ball is up at the top. Use the steps to get to the left side, then jump right at the top and grab the heads near the bottom too. Continue right until you hit the wall and that is already everything to it. Bonus: On the right wall, bump into the block underneath the shop eye to find a 5x money bag. The shop is on the right wall, jump over to it from the left side. The exit on the left takes you back to Area 1, the middle takes you to Area 3 and the right takes you to Area 4. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 3: Ghosts 6 o o Candles 4 o o Heads 6 o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Pick up the two ghosts on the right, then go left for some money bags. Jump on the steps on the left wall and then collect everything in this area. At the top you don't need to fall down for the money bags, just stand on the edge, jumping might help out too. When you spot the eye shop on the right, drop down and walk right a little so you can see the spiked ball moving. Return up the higher platform and jump right across to the right wall. Then return left on the top platform and drop down for the final two heads. Bonus: Shoot the square plate hanging in the center of the level from the left to discover an old man. He will run left (in the air) so shoot him for 5,000 points. The shop is near the right side, high up. Jump into it from below. The left exit goes to Area 2, the right area goes to Area 4. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 4: Ghosts 4 o o Candles 4 o o Heads 5 o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo This level is nearly symmetrical. You eventually have to clear both sides. Plan your route, depending on which area to came from. Bonus: On the left side of the level, a bit more left of the green spiked ball going up and down there, jump into the square plate above to find a 5x money bag. After clearing all the items, descend at the bottom right corner to warp to another area with lots of money bags. (26?) The shop is in the center, you can't miss it. The middle exit goes to Area 3. The exit in the left corner goes to Area 2. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 5: Ghosts 8 o o Candles 8 o o Heads 4 o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Get up on the steps on either side, then start clearing everything. Quite easy and lot of spaces. It is probably easier to start from the right side. Bonus: On the right side of the right exit, there are step-like platforms. Attempt to jump into the highest one from below and you will discover a hidden potion. The shop is on the left side. Take the left exit back to Area 4, the middle one to Area 6 and the right one to Area 7. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 6: Ghosts 8 o o Candles 4 o o Heads 4 o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Walk all the way right, then jump to the block and do a small leap to the left side. Follow it across the gap to the two ghosts, then turn around and go up to the higher ledge. Go right and left to get all the items, don't forget about the potion on the far left. Bonus: Shoot into the bottom left corner to find the old man creature, then shoot it for 5,000 points before it runs off. The shop is on the right side near the wall, easy to get to. The left exit goes to Area 5, the right one to Area 7. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 7: Ghosts 6 o o Candles 4 o o Heads 5 o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Depending on where you start, head up on the nearby steps and then get onto the highest platform, then go to the other side. Grab all the money while you are up there, don't bother to fall down into them. Bonus: Shoot the area just before the left exit from the right to find the old man creature. Kill it for 5,000 points. The shop is on the left, high up but easy to jump to. The left exit is for Area 5, the right one for Area 6. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 8: Ghosts 6 o o Candles 4 o o Heads - o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The only way is to go left, but don't forget about the two money bags on the right. Jump up and kill the knight from afar, then get over to the cage. Stand on the edge and jump to the higher platform. It's not easy with all these snakes and the spiked ball around. Open up the coffins to find the key, it's easiest to do the right one last. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zone 4: Xenon G0340 ````````````` Collectibles: Ghosts 73 Books 45 Heads 40 (even though the game says 54) _ |1| ¯ / \ _ _ |2| |8| ¯ ¯ / \ _ _ |3| |4| ¯ ¯ / \ _ _ |5| |6| ¯ ¯ | _ |7| ¯ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 1: Ghosts 8 o o Books 7 o o Heads 4 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Pretty straightforward, go along the top side until you reach the right wall, then go along the bottom for the rest of the stuff. There is a potion in the right corner. Bonus: Just as you start, take on step to the right and jump into the air for a hidden potion. The shop is on the top right. Get the latest weapon if you can. There is only one exit at this time, dead center. It goes to Area 2. The right one opens up after clearing up all the other areas, which will go to Area 8. Don't forget to spend the rest of your money on potions before leaving for Area 8. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 2: Ghosts 10 o o Books 4 o o Heads 4 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Start going right past the orange skull, then jump up to the middle floor and start going left. At the other end, get up to the top floor and jump right until you have everything. Bonus: On the middle level, jump into the last skull before the gap leading up in the upper level, when coming from the right. This skull faces right. The reward is a 5x money bag. The shop is on the right, you can either jump into it from below or the skulls on either side. The left exit returns to Area 1, the middle exit goes to Area 3 and the right one to Area 4. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 3: Ghosts 8 o o Books 6 o o Heads 6 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jump right until you hit the wall. Get to the top and use the bones to reach the left side. Go along till the end here too. Watch out for the last moving skull. Bonus: Shoot the single tombstone towards the left side of the level to find a lady creature. Shoot her for 5,000 points. The shop is on the left, after you have collected everything you can drop down to it. The only way to continue is back to Area 2. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 4: Ghosts 7 o o Books 5 o o Heads 4 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Start going right at the bottom floor. On the right side, jump up and also get the stuff near the shop eye. Then get the rest of the stuff on the left side. You only need to watch out for the skulls that go up and down near the left wall. Bonus: Stand in the middle o the second platform counting from the left. This one doesn't have a smaller one above. Jump up in the air to reveal a 5x money bag. The shop is on the right side, reached from the nearby platform. The left exit goes to Area 2, the center to Area 5 and the right one to Area 6. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 5: Ghosts 14 o o Books 3 o o Heads 6 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Start the level from the right, get up on the bones and then jump left towards the other end. It seems a little hard to distinguish the platforms from all the white scenery, but once you pick up items it gets easier. You might want to get the stuff near the bottom first if you are having trouble identifying where to jump to. Bonus: Hit the bottom left corner for a little creature to appear, shoot it for 5,000 points. The shop is on the left side, accessible from the nearby platform. Take the left exit back to Area 4. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 6: Ghosts 8 o o Books 6 o o Heads 6 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Go up the stairs on the left, then get the heads in the middle floor before you continue up the top. Go left first, drop down in the corner to fall on the ghosts below. Climb back up the stairs and jump over to the right top platform. Fall down into the shop and then finally get the last few items on the middle floor on this side of the level. Bonus: Just above the left exit is a 5x money bag if you jump into the low platform above. The shop is on the right wall, you have to drop through it to finish the level. The left exit returns to Area 5, the right one continues to Area 7. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 7: Ghosts 8 o o Books 8 o o Heads 6 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo You have to get around the right side up to the middle floor. When you reach the top, do a small jump over the gap towards the right side. Then do the same on the left side, it's a little tricky. If you fall down you also have to get around the side again. After reaching the left wall, get the few items near the bottom and then return to where you started. Bonus: On the right side, stand on the middle platform and jump into the middle of the platform above. Said platform is just on the left of the shop eye and your reward is a 5x money bag. After clearing the level you should be on the left side of the area. Descend into the bottom left corner to find another area containing lots of money bags. (27?) The shop is in the top right corner. You need to jump the small gap to reach the nearby platform. The only exit returns to Area 6. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Area 8: Ghosts 10 o o Books 6 o o Heads 2 o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo You have to go around on either side, avoiding the orange skull as you go up. Kill the knight and jump even higher in the center. Go to the right or left and clean up everything. Then go to the other side and when you are done jump through the coffin. Do the same with the other two to find the key and rescue Xenon, the final band member. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zone 5: Zeus G0350 ```````````` ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have enough time left, you might as well go kamikaze on this guy. Stand on the steps just in front of him and start blasting. If you have upgraded your weapon to the bat projectile it will only take 8 shots to kill him. If you are low on life, then you need to be careful and avoid the stars. It isn't too easy with this terrain, and you will most likely get hit as much as the first method I have described, just that it prolongs things. Walk right and read the book to finish the game. If you have collected all the instruments you get the good ending (the concert), miss one or more and you get a message that you better correct that before kicking you back to the main menu. =============================================================================== YY.)
