There are however, chests that appear throughout the game and they contain either a wizard that transforms you into either a duck or an old man; or a door that takes you to another dimension and you have to pick either equipment or having more health or Magic. The equipment you can pick is body armor, legging, helmets or weapons. They also vary in color -- silver, red, green and golden (these go from weakest to strongest). That's about it, there's no special jumping, no nothing. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 2.1] Controls ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx201.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' o------------+----------------------------------------------------------------o |- D-pad | = Move | |============+================================================================| |- 1 button | = Main Weapon | | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | | = Use Magic (keep the button down) | |============+================================================================| |- 2 button | = Jump | |============+================================================================| |- Pause | = Access menu (where you change your magic) | o------------'----------------------------------------------------------------o /\ /\ /\ ~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~ )( 3] In-depth Walkthrough ( ) sx300 )( ~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~ \/ \/ \/ There are 6 levels in total and each level is divided in 2 areas, so let's get started. I recorded a complete playthrough of the game and you can find it in my channel, so take a look if you're stuck with something. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #1-1 sx301 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- We start the game in the Place of Execution, and since it's the first stage of the game, I recommend you getting a grip on how Arthur moves (note that he slides when you turn very quickly). Anyway, let's get started. From where we start, there will be some Reaper enemies coming out of the ground and run towards you. They appear through the whole area, so you'll have to deal with them. When you get to a ladder, a chest appears behind you next to the tree. Open it and proceed right. There are some flying enemies on the next tree, so get under them and shoot them from beneath. When you get to another set of stairs, another chest shall appear. Follow either the upper path or the lower on, wait for the blades of the guillotines to go up and run pass them. There's another guillotine next to the chest and before the guillotine, another chest should appear. Now run right past the giant guillotine and you'll get to the next area. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #1-2 sx302 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- It's rainy right here, meaning that you'll be pushed backwards. There are some spinning demons in this area, but just evade them by either crouching or jumping and keep going forward before they catch you. As you proceed, a chest should pop out of nowhere (that's when the wind stops). You'll be at the bottom of a mountain. Another new enemy appears. It looks like a flower that spits out 3 skulls that go in 3 different directions. It's pretty easy to evade so go right until you hit a ladder. Take it up, then the next one too. Go left after the second ladder, go up the ladder and a new enemy appears, which looks like a butcher. Hit it hard and go left, up the ladder and go right. When you get to a big blue door, a chest appears before it. Hit it to have a door appear and you'll be in your first boss fight. ---- Dullahan ----------------------------------------------------- This boss is pretty easy and you should have no problems with it. You need to take out the head, which is floating around. It spits out fireballs, but they go so slow that it's really easy to evade them. When you evade one fireball, go under the head and shoot nonstop. Also, watch out for the knee, because if you get to close it'll hit you. Now grab the blue key. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Now simply run through the door to get to the next area. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #2-1 sx303 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- My most hated stage in the whole damn game. A new enemy makes its appearance in this stage. It's a skull that bounces around and if you're near it, it transforms into a turtle. Run underneath the bouncing skulls and if anyone transforms into a turtle, take it down. When you get to something blue that comes out of the ground, on the other side of it is a little pit. In this pit is a chest. Open it up. When you get to the top of the path, there's some sand going down. DO NOT go down, because there's an Antlion down here and it'll rip you a new a**hole. Instead, go up the bridges. But beware though, because they break. I'll tell you where they break. The first one breaks three squares before it ends (note that each section that breaks has a 4 block length). Then next bridge breaks after the first block and if you fall, you'll go down right into the Antlion and if you get swallowed by the sand, you'll instantly die. The next bridge, I really don't know where it breaks, but you can just drop down and jump you way to the top of the sand hill. Once up here, the next bridge breaks in middle of it. Run to the other side of the second sand pit (the bridges break on either side) and under this last bridge, there's a chest. There's nothing to the far right end, so ignore it. Hop on top of the last bridge and go 2 more bridges left, then go up the top right one. If you want to go to the top left bridge of the whole area, there's another chest. It breaks at the start of it (on the fourth block I believe) and just before the chest at the end. There's also an enemy, but it's not a boss. You can use thunder to hit him whenever he's coming after you. Next stage. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #2-2 sx304 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Ok now, I died a ton in this stage, all because of a stupid jump. There's another enemy here, a Fire Bat. They just go down in a semi hoop and go back up. Jump over the first gap, while evading the Fire Bat. When you get to a lower platform, a chest appears. The jump after the chest is the bitch. It took me several minutes to get past this jump. Jump on top of the pillars then some fire pillars will start dropping. After they disappear, from the dots that remain, a Fire Bat will appear from it. There's also another enemy that looks like a plant. Duck to destroy it. Go up the ladder when you come to it and keep going right. Take care of the plants ASAP. At the end, there's a chest and a Boss Fight. ---- Cerberus ----------------------------------------------------- This boss is easy. What happens is that there are some fireballs that drop from the ceiling. Also, Cerberus appears from the right and just gets to the center of the screen. Then it jumps over you (you won't get hurt by this) and go the same thing on this other side. This is all it does, so attack it, go to the other side, wait for it to jump over and keep attacking it. All this while evading the fireballs of course. Another better tactic is to use Thunder. With 2 strikes from it and it's dead. Now grab the blue key. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #3-1 sx305 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- This stage isn't that bad, not as bad as the previous one (damn you 2-1). As you can see, it looks like you're on a lone platform, but it moves along with you, so it's like if the floor is complete, so don't worry about falling. There are also purple enemies that are static and don't move, so just stay out of their range and you'll do just fine. The little green enemies drop a stone and then come down in an S-like shape. Just shoot it down! And since the stage scrolls automatically, there's no specific walkthrough, but only some pointers. When the screen scrolls to the right, start sticking to the right side and when the path closes up, start shooting the purple enemies on the top, because you need to take care of them. Right after these 2 purple enemies, on the right side appears a chest. Look out for the right part of the stage on the upper left because it'll squash you so grab the chest and start running to the left. There's also a purple pillar that has green orbs. Destroy 2 of them and run to the right and enter the door at the top. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #3-2 sx306 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Now this is a pretty messed up stage. Stay away from the mouths because if you approach them, they'll eat you up. Start by ducking passing under the mouth, then jump on the upper purple tongue. Jump over the blue flame and DO NOT jump over at the end of the tongue. Wait for some platforms to appear on the bottom (only 2 platforms appear at a time) and jump down. Another chest appears under the next tongue, and another one under the next one. Jump on the right tongue (the one that's going upwards) and DUCK, because the rock spire will kill you even if you have full health -- so duck and jump right over the blue flame. On the other side of the flame, there are more platforms that move, but on the other direction (from right to left). Jump across them and a chest appears right under the tip of the tongue. Move across the next 2 tongues until you get to a platform (finally!). Jump across the platforms until you get to the gate, and you know what that means. ---- Cloud? ------------------------------------------------------- Ok, this Boss is a lot harder than the previous ones. Like all bosses, it only has 1 attack. It'll drop down several "thunders" in a wide area. Run to the right side of the area and start charging your Fire magic. When it's in range, attack it. Repeat. If the thunders get to close, try jumping them. If you get hit, use your invincibility time to attack it with your normal weapon (lances, daggers, etc). Rinse and repeat the whole process (if you have the Shield spell at this point in the game, use it and physically attack it). It takes 8 Fire spells to defeat it. Now grab the blue key. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #4-1 sx307 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- We are in a cavern now. Please notice the green spikes on the ceiling. Touching these will hurt you, it's not an automatically kill, but nevertheless, avoid them further ahead. Remember the reapers from the first stage? They appear here once again. When you get to a large bone, go on top of it and you'll see a chest. Continue right and another chest appears just before you drop down. There's an enemy here that looks like a piece of s***, seriously. Jump over its fireball attack and kill it. When the path forks again (with a chest), continue right and a chest shall appear just before the step. Another chest appears right before you descend. Now simply run right and enter the door to the next area. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #4-2 sx308 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Oh man, I don't like this stage. The green ceiling is here again, so avoid them. The only enemy in this stage are those hands that shoot out fireballs like those pieces of s***. DO NOT approach these hands, because they'll grab you and kill you automatically. Use Fire from a distance to take care of these. The path is linear, so you don't need a guide for this part, so see ya at the bottom of the waterfalls. There's a green thingy here. Jump on it and it'll start descending. When you see another green thingy on the left side, jump on it then on the other one on the left. Jump once more on the left one then jump on the right one and follow them to the right Until you get to the floor. The gate is here, yay! ---- Alligator? ---------------------------------------------------- Another annoying boss. It has no attacks, but there are some things that will hurt you. There are four orange orbs that come out of the boss, one after another in a straight line. They don't home in at you, so you can easily evade them. Now notice the circular thingies on the body of the boss. You need to jump and attack them. But oh wait! There are some damn Maggots that come out of the boss and attack you. Just attack them once and focus on the circular thingies of the boss. There are 5 of these thingies, so take them all out. Now grab the blue key. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #5-1 sx309 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Finally last 2 stages of the game. Kill the enemies on top (easy enough) and a chest will appear (whether you kill the enemies or not). Go up the ladder on the right and right after you descend, a flying enemy will appear (the same enemy from the previous stage). The best way to deal with it is to use Fire from a distance before it starts moving like crazy. Go up the ladder to the right, go up the next one and start moving left. There are 2 more of these flying enemies, so take care of them. A chest appears in between these 2 enemies. Go up the ladder at the end, go up the ladder, then go down the ladder to your right. Follow this path of going up and down the stairs and when you get to the top, go right and end this stage. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage #5-2 sx310 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Go right and a chest will appear. Now go right and there's a really hard part of the game. I recommend you checking out my video in YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g_vzHduYOU) at 01:27. I'll try to explain here, but I dunno how well it'll go. Please notice the faces on both sides of the ladder, where the balls are coming from. _ _____________________________________________A _ | |-| | _ | V ,' `. | |-| | ,' `. | Let's imagine it's something like this. Stay ( 5 ) | |-| | ( ) | right under the first face and watch the `._,' | |-| | `._,' | movement of the balls carefully. Take note _ | |-| | _ | when the balls move like this: 2left, then ,' `. | |-| | ,' `. | 1left and 1right at the same time, then ( 4 ) | |-| | ( ) | 1right again. When this ball passes, move up `._,' | |-| | `._,' | to the third face. Then you'll see: 5right _ | |-| | _ | and 1right at the same time. When this ,' `. | |-| | ,' `. | happens, go down to the second face and a ( 3 ) | |-| | ( ) | ball from both 4right and 3right will come `._,' | |-| | `._,' | out. When they pass, hurry up to the fourth _ | |-| | _ | face, wait for a ball from 5left to pass and ,' `. | |-| | ,' `. | climb to the top. ( 2 ) | |-| | ( ) | `._,' | |-| | `._,' | Got that? No? Then watch the vid. Once at _ | |-| | _ | the top, from the door that's there, an ,' `. | |-| | ,' `. | awkward enemy appears. It only spits a line ( 1 ) | |-| | ( ) | of fire with a rather short range. Simply `._,' | |-| | `._,' | jump and attack the head. Past this enemy, | a chest will appear. Open it and go up the o-------------------------------' ladder. Remember the first boss? The Dullahan? Well, there are 2 of these at the same time, but without the body, just the head. They attack the same, so take care of them. After you do so, a path will appear to the right. Follow it, and on top of the stairs, another chest will appear. Is the door next to the chest familiar? Yep, another one of those awkward enemies will appear, but there may be 2 of them. What do I mean with that? Well, there's supposed to be a battle against 2 of these at the same time, but run to the right slowly and you're exactly in front of its attack. If done correctly, you can defeat it without the other one appearing from behind. Once done this, at the top of the steps is another chest, but be careful. Remember the Cloud boss? Well, the babies of it will appear. They just go in circles, but they are hard to hit, so take your time. There are 3 of them and they'll come out one after another. Now go up the platforms, go up the ladder and a chest should appear on the left side. Now go right to find another Dullahan (which shoots faster this time) and some of those bats from the stage 3-1. Kill the bats, then focus on the Dullahan. Go up the ladder behind it and another boss triggers here. ---- Beelzebub ----------------------------------------------------- This boss is easy, and I really mean in this time. It'll start as some red flies on the left side of the screen. Run to the right and when Beelzebub starts forming itself, look up and attack its head. It'll shoot some things from the tail, but they shouldn't hurt you from where you are. If you didn't kill it for some reason, it'll do the same thing: turn into red flies and go to the left and reform itself. Go under it and attack it. Now grab the blue key. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage Finale sx311 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- To enter the last stage, you need to have all your equipment maxed out. Head: Gold Body: Gold Shoes: Gold Weapon: Psycho Blaster Note that when you open a door with your armor in golden state and the last weapon (Discus), there's a chance that you'll obtain the Psycho Blaster, which is required to defeat Loki. If you're not maxed out, they'll either send you back to the beginning of the game (if you don't have your armor all golden) or at the beginning of stage 5-1 if you're only lacking the Psycho Blaster. Now the only thing to do here is to kill Loki, the easiest boss in the game, seriously. ---- Loki --------------------------------------------------------- Since you're already maxed out, you should have the Shield spell. Use it and stand on a skull that's right under Loki's d***. As you can see, the floor starts disappearing. Keep attacking like for like 5 seconds tops and you'll defeat him... what disappointment. ------------------------------------------------------------------- /\ /\ /\ ~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~ )( 4] Latest Update ( ) sx400 )( ~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~ \/ \/ \/ = Version Loki (November 2nd, 2009) - Completed the Walkthrough. /\ /\ /\ ~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~ )( 5] Closing ( ) sx500 )( ~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~ \/ \/ \/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 5.1] Credits ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx501.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' 1.
