| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
After defeating Reynaldo (the weird squirmy thing), go to the fire to the left where the zombie eating the human was to get a Fire Orb. Before leaving to the castle, enhance the Fire Orb to level 2.To get a Bow in the castle, go to the place where the bucket is located and cut it. Go upstairs and there will be a trick crate. To open it, press Right once and X twice. Then, press Left and press X once. Next, press Right and press X once. Finally, press Left once and press X. You now should have the bow. Make sure you have normal arrows before using the Bow. You can find 10 normal arrows when you barely enter the castle and see the samurai and the kid.
Bishamon O FluteThere are two places in there game where a very strange man hanging from the ceiling by his feet stares at you and ignores you. Later in the game, after you use the Evil Plate and open the door, he will talk to you. The man will now take you (whenever desired), to the Dark Realm. In the Dark Realm, kill monsters until two portals open; one to go up and one to go down. Keep going down to the last level (9th or 10th) while collecting all the items en route. Open the box on the deepest level to get the Bishamon O flute. Keep the flute just before the last fight with the Demon King. It is needed to get the Bishamon Sword.
Bishamon SwordIn the Demon Realm (just after you destroy the Ultimate Creation) is a save mirror and three doors. Go to the door that resembles an iron gate. It will not open at first. Use the Bishimon O flute on it and enter. Go to the Bishimon Sword jutting out of the Skull Demon wall object and take it. It is more powerful than all three of your weapons put together, and it has speed. The sword also has an unlimited supply of magic.
Holy ArmorGo to the room where you and Keade get trapped in and you have to pull the levers. Go through the levers. The chest that was in the corner behind the bars can now be reached. Inside the chest is the Holy Armor.
Better gauntletReach 20,000 souls and when you go to enhance you will have a better gauntlet. Go when you have 50 to get the Golden Ogre Gauntlet.
Capture 50,000 souls to get an even better gauntlet.
When enhancing, collect about 25,000 souls. The number next to the soul meter should say 25. Enhance all of your weapons and Orbs to level two. After collecting the Wind Orb, use the remaining souls to bring that to level three, since it is weak.
Save your green and red mana for the fourth sword. It can be found just beyond the destroyed master's house (level four or five). By saving points, you can build the weapon up to full immediately.
There is a chest behind the waterfall containing the great armor.
Trapped floor sequenceWhen you get into the part where you have to go through traps, you will get to a trapped floor section. When you get here, you will see trapped floor parts marked with "X"s and "T"s. They are set in a random pattern each time. While walking across, you will notice that each different trap square makes other normal or trap squares fall in a certain direction (diagonally, up, down, left, or right). Also notice that they are always in an order to where you can get through. If you do not like the selection as it currently appears, exit the room and go back in to change it. Your main objective is to get to the square with an "O".
