| Introduction |
O===========================================================================O
This is my first FAQ. That sentence says a lot. I hope it makes sense and I
hope that many readers find it useful. I put a lot of information in this
and it took a lot of time to make.
I first played Light Crusader in 1996. I was just a young kid at a local
Blockbuster looking for a good game to play over the school weekend. As
I browsed through the games I saw Light Crusader.
Man, Light Crusader has an awesome art on the front of it. Here is this
swordsman swinging his sword with all his might at these 3 green goblin type
things. I loved the picture. So I rented it.
I loved this game. The first time I rented it I couldn't even get past the
2nd floor. I always got stuck on the N.E.W.S. puzzle. But I rented it a few
times and the next thing I knew I was down on the fourth floor. Suddenly
Blockbuster put the game up on sale. I couldn't bear the thought of never
getting to play the game again, so I begged/pleaded my mom and sold my soul
to the devil. Well I got the game. And I went on to beat the game, and
eventually master it. Now I want to try to write a FAQ for it. Wish me luck.

| Update |

It's good to see that Nintendo allows for this game to be downloaded onto
the Wii. This way, more gamers can discover this jewel of a game. I hope
this FAQ can continue to help newcomers to Light Crusader. =)

O===========================================================================O
| Techniques (YY3) |
O===========================================================================O
There are several times throughout this FAQ where I will explain which type
of attack is most effect against an enemy. Here's the list. Check it twice.
o-----------------------o
| Indirect Attack |
o-----------------------o
An indirect attack is when David is not directly looking at
his enemy, but his sword swing still damages the enemy.
This technique is useful for those situations where facing
the enemy will either try to initiate conversation, or make
David dive in the air instead of slash. This move is used
a lot throughout Light Crusader.
o-----------------------o
| Dive Attack |
o-----------------------o
This attack is easy to do. Guesstimate the distance between you
and your enemy, then launch David into the air and press the
attack button. If you perform it successfully David will pretty
much dive right into his enemy - sword first.
o-----------------------o
| Magic |
o-----------------------o
Yes, certain magic spells are techniques. =) 'nuff said.
O===========================================================================O
| Speech (YY4) |
O===========================================================================O
Light Crusader is a very visual game. Yes, this I know. So I will be using a
few key words to describe directions in this game. Here is a type of picture
describing which way is what in a common room.
NORTH (UP)
^
/ \
NORTHWEST (UP LEFT) / \ NORTHEAST (UP RIGHT)
/ \
/ \
/ \
/ \
WEST (LEFT) \ ROOM / EAST (RIGHT)
\ /
\ /
\ /
SOUTHWEST (DOWN LEFT) \ / SOUTHEAST (DOWN RIGHT)
\ /
SOUTH (DOWN)
This way when you hear me saying "northeast doorway" and "southwest wall"
you'll understand what I'm saying.
Anytime I say "connecting room" I'm talking about a room that has no other
purpose in life but to connect one room to another.
When puzzles get more and more complicated they will start to have multiple
objects of the same type. When this happens I will identify the object with
a number. For example say we are in a room with 3 silver balls. I will label
them BALL 1, BALL 2, and BALL 3, and explain which ball is which.
I (frequently) use parenthetical qualifiers (to clear up issues) in my
sentences (of this FAQ).
I think you are now ready to read my Walkthrough
O===========================================================================O
| The Beginning (YY5) |
O===========================================================================O
When you first start the game, the intro plays. It introduces our main
villain Bloodroke and our hero, David. It tells of how David arrives in
Green Row on 'vacation' and ends up helping King Weedan find the town's
missing villagers. Some vacation eh?
When you are given control of David, you'll find yourself standing in the
main castle hall. The first thing I suggest you do is take the door on
the northwest wall. You will be in a room with 3 more doors. The middle door
is the Princess' room. The door to the left of her room is the Save Point,
and the room to the right of the Princess' room is just a guest room. Go into
the guest room. On top of the bookshelf is a Red Potion. To get it just jump
on top of the table, from the table jump on top of the beds, and from the
beds jump to the shelf. Once you have the potion leave the room.
After that, head back to the main castle hall and take the door on the
southeast wall. In here is 3 more doors and an odd plant-lineup. Hiding
behind the plants in the corner of the room is a chest with a pendant. Grab
the pendant. Enter the southwest most room (the lowest room). In here is a
crazy cook, rather, she is overly violent. Don't jump on the grill - you'll
get burned. Don't eat that food! It's for the whole castle! Sheesh.
Moving on.
Exit the kitchen. Enter the middle room. In here is The Oracle. There is no
spoon. If you talk to her, she'll give you a hint about your first move
in this game. Something's not right in the graveyard. We'll get to that.
Exit this room. Enter the northeast most room (the uppermost room). This
is a Teleport room. You'll find yourself here later. Exit this room, and
then exit the castle.
Welcome to Green Row. The first area you're in has 3 buildings. If you talk
to the people in this area, you'll get a little information about how
people are disappearing. Creepy I know. The building by the crying girl is
empty. The building beside it is a bar/shop. Inside are more speculating
villagers and a shop where you can buy Steak, Apple, and Wine. The southern
most building is a weapon shop that also has pendants. Nothing really of
interest at this point in time. Follow the trail between the buildings and
take the southeast path to the next area of Green Row.
In this area are 4 buildings. The northern most building is another empty
house. The building beside that has a wonderfully gifted piano player. I
strongly recommend you listen to her play. The building beside the skilled
piano player's house is the house of a kind hearted </sarcasm> painter. The
last building has a giant sign that says "INN". I reckon' this is an Inn.
Inside you can either rest, buy magic elements, or buy Potions, Tomatos, and
Water. Take the southeast exit in this area of Green Row.
Here you'll find a farmer and his cows. Nothing special here. Take the
southwest exit from here.
O===========================================================================O
| The Graveyard (YY6) |
O===========================================================================O
Welcome to the Graveyard. This is the entrance to the 6 floor dungeon that
this game is composed of. Explore around this graveyard and you'll notice
that there is a large square cut into the ground in the front of the
graveyard. This is a secret door. To get this secret door open, head back
to the third row of the graveyard and examine the tombstones on this row.
The second tombstone from the left has drag marks to the left of it. Push
this tombstone to the left. It will move and the secret door will be open.
Enter. Walk down the hallway of intimidating gargoyle statues. Take the
stairs you find in the end room. You are now on Floor 1 of the dungeon.
O===========================================================================O
| First Floor (YY7) |
O===========================================================================O
Alright! Welcome to the first floor! The first thing you should see is a
barred gate, a switch, and a room opposite the wall with the switch. Take
the southeast door. You'll be in a room that has 3 green blobs, some
blue-block obstacles, and another southeast door. Kill the blobs (or don't)
and then head southeast.
I suppose this room is an introduction to the laser-pillars. These
laser-pillars are great for opening doors. Striking the laser-pillar will
make it change which direction the laser is shooting out of the pillar.
Strike this pillar 3 times to make it point southeast, then push the pillar
northwest. Once the pillar is in front of the door, the door will open.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
It's a Beat Them! room. You must defeat 3 goblins in order to
proceed. Do so. They hit really hard, I suggest either hit them then back
off, or jump attack them. But don't stop moving. Once they are defeated,
proceed into the next room.
This room has a treasure chest.... about 50 feet up in the air. The pillar
it's sitting on can be destroyed with your sword. Attack the pillar until
it's gone. Grab the chest to gain KEY 1. Now head back all the way to the
first room. The room with the switch and the gate.
Flip the switch to open the gate then proceed inside. In here are 3 green
blobs, a locked door, and an open doorway. Kill the blobs (or don't) then
take the open doorway. In here are 3 doorways, one is blocked by a barred
gate. The other is blocked by a common door, the last has no door at all.
Take the common door (south of the open doorway). Your KEY 1 will open it.
Enter.
Ahhh, your first (of many) block puzzle. Your goal is to push the silver
block onto the giant orange tile to make the door open. First push the
block southwest to make it fall down 1 step. Then push the block southeast
to push it on the layer it shares with the orange tile. Now push the block
southwest towards the tile, and northwest to put the block on the tile. The
door should open.
In this room are 4 pedestal blocks, and a switch. The pedestal blocks will
have 1 of each element (unless you already have the element). Flip the switch
(A Door Opens Somewhere), exit the room. Exit the block puzzle room. Take the
open doorway north of where you're coming from. In this room is a mountain of
blocks with little floating tiles all around it. This is a type of jump test.
To get to the treasure on the top, you have to jump from tile to tile all the
way around this thing and up. The chest contains a Maximum Life.
There are 2 doors against the southeast wall. Take the southern most one
(The one without a door). Jump onto the block-path and from there jump to the
floating tile. Against the southwest wall are 2 rooms. In the southern-most
room is a Fountain of Life. In the other room is a villager tied to a pillar.
He'll tell you he was brought here by Men In Black (M.I.B.) Amazingly they
didn't flash that memory out of his head, but whatever. Exit the room with
the villager, and head back accross the nails back to the Maximum Life
treasure chest room.
Take the doorway with the door swung wide open. In here is a room with water,
floating tiles, and killer lillipads. Kill the lillipads (or don't) and head
into the next room.
o-----------------------o
| Answer the Riddle! |
o-----------------------o
To answer the riddle, simply light all 4 lamp posts
(to light them, strike them). A magical doorway will appear. Take this
doorway. You'll find a chest with a pendant inside, and the connecting room
has the resale cat. You can sell stuff to him (talk to him to
initiate sales). Head back to the Answer the Riddle! room. Take the
southeast door to find a save point. Save your game and then head to the
southwest room. Here is your first boss fight.
O===========================================================================O
| First Sponge Boss (B1) (YY8) |
O===========================================================================O
Now you fight your first boss. I like to call him Spongebob FROM HELL but
I'm pretty sure that's not his real name. In order to inflict pain onto this
creature, you have to strike the eyeball sticking out of one of the holes on
it's body. The eyeball likes to change which hole it's sticking out of
constantly. Beware of the green worm like critters that shoot out of the
holes. If there are no worms around, and no eye sticking out, beware! If
suddenly the holes all turn red, get away fast - it's about to start shooting
flames everywhere. The only other threat about this are the bouncing green
balls it shoots. Keep an eye on your health and just power on through
this guy. He's easy enough. Something to make a note of: The green balls
when destroyed sometimes drop food (in case you get desperate). Once you
defeat him, David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu sword swinging technique
(which magically replenishes David's health) and the door to the next area
will open. Take the door.
O===========================================================================O
| First Floor (Continued) (YY9) |
O===========================================================================O
In this room are 2 treasure chests - one within easy reach (Maximum Life)
and the other you must jump from moving platform to moving platform to reach
(Key 2). Jump from platform to platform and get the KEY 2, then head out the
southwest exit. In this room are some flame shooting pillars, and a treasure
chest containing a Red Potion. Wait till the pillar stops shooting flames
then maneuver past it. Head out the southwest exit. Your back to the
beginning area. Take the southwest door. Back to the room with 3 blobs and a
locked door. Kill the blobs (or don't) and unlock the door using KEY 2.
In this room is a strong-current water with floating platforms. Jump your
way accross the room to the southeast exit.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room is a sorceror with 4 skeletons. This task
can be accomplished in 2 ways. You can either kill the skeletons with the
Turn Undead spell (Elements A,E,W) and then kill the sorceror -- or you can
just kill the Sorceror which in turn will kill the skeletons also. Your
choice. Once they are defeated, head into the next room.
Watch out! This pillar is shooting 4 lasers. 4 very unfriendly lasers.
Simplywalk clockwise between the lasers to avoid being harmed and head into
the next room. It's Fire Sponge junior! There is a really easy way to
defeat these creatures. If you stand DIRECTLY to the right of these
creatures (just within sword range) and start attacking it, you'll be able
to hit it, but it wont be able to hit you. You must be either DIRECTLY to
the right or left of it. If you are being hurt, then you are not doing it
right. Hrmph. Kill Fire Sponge junior (or don't) and move on to the next
room.
This is your first exploding barrel puzzle room. To solve, simply push the
barrel just a tad bit southwest, then push the barrel directly towards the
door. It will fall off the platform and sit by the door. Strike the barrel to
light it's fuse, then get your distance. The barrel will explode and the door
will open.
In this room is a gargoyle statue and 2 doorways, take the northwest doorway
(the doorway the gargoyle is NOT facing). You'll see a woman being attacked
by jello (Brings a whole new meaning to 'J' 'E' 'L' 'L' Ooooo It's
aliiiiiiiiiive!). Or a woman who's having too much fun with jello. Strike
the jello to save her, then head back one room. Now enter the doorway the
gargoyle is facing.
Another wonderful barrel room. Push the barrel northeast. It should hit a
wall very quickly. Get on the southeast side of the barrel, and push it
northwest (towards the moveable platform). Do not push it all the way
against the wall (You'll need to get behind it later) You don't have to
push the whole barrel onto the platform, even a tiny slit of the barrel is
enough, the entire barrel will go up. Once the barrel is on the platform,
jump up to where the block is conveniently sitting above a switch. Push the
block onto the switch. The platform will move up carrying the barrel with
it. Push the barrel to make it sit on the Northeast edge of the platform.
Then push the barrel southeast and it should fall onto a higher ground level
than what it previously was. Push the barrel towards the door now. It should
go straight to the door. Strike the barrel to light it and get away. The
barrel will explode and open the door. Take the doorway.
This next room is simple enough. 2 moving platforms and at the top is a
switch. Jump from platform to platform and flip the switch at the top (A door
opens somewhere). Head back to the room where the woman was being attacked
by Jello. The door is now open. Take it.
This room is windy. 3 blobs will be blown towards you. Kill them (or don't)
and then work your way to the other side of the room. Every time the wind
starts to pick up move David in front of a pillar. The pillar will hold him
in place until the wind stops. There's a room on the northwest wall that has
a Save Point. The northeast doorway is your goal for moving on.
A bomb puzzle room. A bomb sits uptop a mountain of blocks, with 3 moveable
blocks. There are multiple ways of solving this, but I will post the easiest
one I know of. The block sitting on the ground should be moved into the
jagged corner of the block mountain, forming a nice inversed L shape for
the mountain. The block on the first level of the mountain should be moved
southeast until it is sitting on top of the first moveable block. Then it
should be moved northeast until it is up in a corner. The top most block
should be moved to where it is southwest of the bomb. Move the bomb southwest
to put it on top of the moveable block. Then move yourself to the northwest
side of the bomb, and push it southeast to make it fall down 1 level.
Now push the bomb southwest to make it fall down yet 1 more level. Move
yourself (carefully) to the northwest side of the bomb, and push it
southeast. It should completely fall off the mountain. Now manuever the bomb
to the door. There should be nothing to prevent you from doing that. Don't
push the bomb up against a wall or you'll blow it. Strike the bomb to light
the fuse and step away. Proceed through the now open doorway.
You are now in a water room with killer lillipads. Kill the lillipads and
head southwest. Haha! I just got Gold Armour! I am lucky. (Check the armor
section to learn how to get this armor). This next room is quite pointless.
It's simply a connecting room. Take the next doorway.
In this room is a moveable clock-beam type (I'd like to see YOU come up with
a better name) structure. The goal of this room is the move the block from
one area of the room to the other side of the room using the clock-beam.
Adjust the beam to where one end is close to the block. Push the block
northeast and it should fall onto the beam. Jump over the beam to the north
side of it, and begin to push it south. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BLOCK. If you
suspect the block is about to fall off, simply move to where your block is
on the beam, jump up and push the beam. The block should be put right back
onto the beam. Adjust the beam to where the end your block is on is pointing
directly at the orange tile. Once it is in position, Jump onto the beam and
push your block off the beam onto the tile. The door will open. Moving
onward.
In this room is a stairway surrounded by 4 pillars. The pillars have a
magical barrier that prevents you from entering the stairway, don't worry
about it for now. Just head through the doorway on the other side of the
room. This next room has 4 doorways, one blocked. The doorway accross from
yours has a Healing Fountain. Take the northwest doorway to move on.
You should now be in a room with 3 barrels, one of them elevated. The goal
of this room is to get the elevated barrel to the doorway. To do this, first
push the 2 barrels on the floor northwest into the corner (right beneath the
elevated barrel). Both of the barrels should fit in the space provided.
Once that's accomplished, push the elevated barrel southeast until it is
sitting on top of the 2 ground barrels. Once it is on top of the 2 ground
barrels, push the elevated barrel northeast until it falls off the ground
barrels and on top of the platform. Continue to push the barrel northeast
until it BARELY falls off the platform. Now push it towards the door
(Northwest and then southwest). Detonate the barrel to open the door. Moving
on.
In here is a treasure chest with a weapon upgrade (Rapier) and a switch. Flip
the switch and equip the sword. Now head backwards 2 rooms. Back to the
4-way. The 4th doorway that was once blocked is now open. Take it
(southeast). You'll be in a flame-pillar room. Avoid the flames and head
northeast.
o-----------------------o
| Answer the Riddle! |
o-----------------------o
To get past this Answer the Riddle! room, simply turn off
all the lamp posts (strike them). A magical doorway will appear, take it.
Inside is 700 gold and a red potion. Back to the Answer the Riddle! room.
Take the northeast door.
O===========================================================================O
| The Dragon! (B1) (YYA) |
O===========================================================================O
For the most part, this dragon has a pattern. The dragon will perform 1 of 3
attacks, then he will swoop at you. He will repeat this over and over. The
attacks he does are:
o-----------------------o
| Land-on-You |
o-----------------------o
The worst out of those 3 attacks is the land-on-you attack.
To be honest I don't know how to avoid that. It doesn't
really hurt too badly though.
o-----------------------o
| Fireball Attack |
o-----------------------o
The fireball attack can be easily avoided by first
heading to the left side of him (his neck will crane
and it will look like he's shooting himself) - but
don't stay there during the last shot, by the 5th
shot you need to be back in front of him, because he'll
move and if you're still beside him it will hurt you.
o-----------------------o
| Wing Flap |
o-----------------------o
When the dragon flaps his wings just deal with it. He's trying
to mess up your position for when he swoops at you.
After he performs 1 of those attacks, he will swoop down at you. This is
your chance to attack him. You have to jump up into the air (preferably from
one of the platforms) and slash his neck or head. You'll know if you hit him
because he shrieks. After he swoops he will try to attack you again.
Here's a neat trick I like to do with the dragon. If you time your jump just
right from the tiles when the dragon swoops at you, you could land ON the
dragon. If you land ON the dragon, you can slash at it multiple times. When
it flies backwards, just walk forwards on it's head and you wont fall off.
You'll eventually get knocked off most probably, but I've gotten at least 10
hits off of the dragon before doing this. It's pretty fun. It's all in the
timing of your jump.
Deal with his attacks and kill him first (First one to die loses, y'know).
David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword Swinging technique (which magically
replenishes David's health) and the doorway to the next area will open.
Take the door.
O===========================================================================O
| First Floor (Finished) (YYB) |
O===========================================================================O
In this room is a treasure chest (Maximum Life) and a villager tied by his
feet hanging from the roof. Hop from pillar to pillar until you are on the
tallest pillar. Then leap towards the rope holding the villager and slash
it (I found that if you swing early in the air, you have a better chance of
hitting the rope instead of the villager). He will fall (face first) to the
floor. Talk to him. He says the M.I.B. kidnapped him too. Funny. He tells
you that the King should know how to get past the barrier to reach the 2nd
floor of the dungeon. Take the now-opened doorway. Step on the teleport pad
and you will find yourself back in the castle.
O===========================================================================O
| Back to Green Row (Talisman) (YYC) |
O===========================================================================O
You are now back in the castle. Exit the teleport room and head to the main
castle hall. Speak with King Weedan. He will give you a TALISMAN that will
allow you to pass through the barrier of floor B1 so you can take the stairs
to B2. Prepare your character any way you feel fit for floor B2 (steaks,
rest, weapons, etc.). Go back to the teleport room of the castle and teleport
back to B1.
Start traveling backwards through the dungeon of B1. From the dragon room
-to- riddle room -to- flame pillar room -to- 4 way room. In the 4 way room
you can heal up in the nearby Healing Fountain room (northeast) and the
southwest room is the barrier room.
Pass through the barrier and take the stairs down to B2
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 2 (YYD) |
O===========================================================================O
Welcome to Floor B2. This is a big floor so I suggest you follow along
closely with the FAQ so you don't get lost. Take the only doorway you
can from the stairs. In the 4-way room you find yourself in, take the
southwest room. In this next room, head straight accross the narrow hallway
(AKA keep going southwest) and you'll find a teleport room! It would BEHOOVE
you to remember where this room is. Exit the teleport room. You are now in
a hallway with a red blob that shoots fireballs. I don't know about you,
but I take sadistic pleasure in reflecting the fireballs the blob shoots
at me back on him, to watch him kill himself. The room on the northwest wall
is a Healing Fountain room. The room on the southwest wall (not the
teleport room, but the one beside it) is where we need to go. You should be
in a water room. The water has a current that pushes you southwest, and
there are flame pillars. Jump around the pillars and navigate through the
room. Take the only doorway given to you to move on.
You are not alone. There is some Wizard type Joe in the room, speak to him.
He will tell you how the Wizard Guild cast a curse on his son. The reason
he's down in the dungeons is to find the cure for his son: The 4 orbs that
are inside this 'shrine' (B2). Goody two shoes David will volunteer himself
to help and the Wizard guy will give you the GOLD KEY. The GOLD KEY will be
used in order to unlock the 4 doors that guard the 4 orbs on this floor.
The first door you must unlock should be in the room you are now in.
Unlock it and proceed.
This room is kind of annoying. Strong winds blow you southwest. There are
2 flame pillars and an goblin. The goal of this room is to hit the switch
located on the northwest wall (about 20 feet up). In order to reach that
switch you must first flip the switch on the northeast wall (opposite the
barred door). Flipping this switch will lower a platform you can use to
reach the other switch. Flip the switch and then make your way to the
once-barred door (I find that from the switch you can jump on top of the
flame pillars and then make a great leap towards the once-barred door).
This puzzle will give anybody a headache. There are 4 switches. Hit each
switch once. The door will open. Proceed.
O===========================================================================O
| Man-Eating 2 Headed Boss (B2) (YYE) |
O===========================================================================O
In this room is a monster with 2 mouths, and inside one of those mouths is a
man. Sucks to be him, aye? No seriously, we have to help this guy. This
monster really isn't that difficult. Stand just within sword range of
one of the swinging heads and when it gets close enough for David to
hit it, ... hit it. Repeat until the monster is defeated. David will do
his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword Swinging technique (which magically replenishes
David's health).
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 2 (Continued) (YYF) |
O===========================================================================O
Once the monster is dead, talk to the man you rescued. It will seem like
he's crazy, but he's actually giving you the answer to a future puzzle.
N.E.W.S. (Remember this!)
Anyways, head onward into the next room.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, you have to kill 4 Fire-shooting
spirits. There's 2 ways to do this. You can either cast Turn Undead spell
on them (Elements A,E,W), or you can stab them to death. Your choice. Once
they are defeated you will get a treasure chest (maximum life) and the
doorway will open. Proceed Hero, into Terror's Lair.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, you have to kill 3 goblins to proceed.
You should be a Pro at this by now. David the goblin Slayer! So get to
slashing and kill them. Once they are dead move on.
Enter and travel through the very pointless room into the Green Orb room.
O===========================================================================O
| Green Orb Room (YYG) |
O===========================================================================O
There's your first orb, the Green Orb, just WAAAAAAAAAITING for you to grab
it. But first you must answer this puzzle. There are 4 tiles on the ground.
Labelled 'R' 'Y' 'G' 'B'. Step on them in this order: RYGB. You'll hear a
neato sound effect when you get it right, and the orb is yours for the
taking.
How did I know that? Throughout the B2 floor are little pieces of paper that
once all collected (5 pieces), you'll learn. It's from some dead guy
(the first piece is found by his skeleton). It says:
"I finally discovered what is important - the combination of the four
elements. Red indicates Number 1. Yellow indicates Number 2. Green indicates
Number 3. Blue indicates Number 4"
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 2 (3 Orbs to Go: R. Y. B.) (YYH) |
O===========================================================================O
Travel backwards now, from the Green Orb Room -to- useless Room -to- Beat
Them! goblins -to- Beat Them! ghosts -to- Man Eating Monster Boss -to- 4
Switches Room -to- Annoying Wind Room -to- 4 Statue Room (GOLD KEY room)
-to- Water current room -to- Fire Blob Hallway.
Yes yes, I know. That was a long trip backwards. In this hallway take the
northwest door to the Healing Fountain room (if necessary). From the hallway
take the northern most northeast doorway. You'll be in a spider-webbed room
with a gargoyle statue and 2 doorways. Take the northwest doorway. Fight
against the current in this water room and head into the next room. You'll
find a skeleton with a scroll piece next to him (SCROLL 1). Open the door
with the GOLD KEY.
You should find yourself in a room with 2 goblins and 2 skeletons. Kill them
(or not) and head into the only other doorway. You'll find yourself in a
room with a harmful laser pillar. There are multiple ways to solve this
puzzle.
The easiest way is to push the laser pillar off of the platform on to
ground level. Then hop on top of the laser pillar, and from there, jump
towards the switch high up on the wall. Strike the switch and the platform
will lower for you to jump on. Jump to that platform and hit the door switch.
The door will open.
An alternate, longer way to solve this puzzle is to push the laser pillar
on top of the platform just southeast of it. Once it is on top of the
platform, head to the southwest corner of the room where a fire sponge
junior is at, and flip the nearby switch. This will lift the laser pillar
into the air. The laser pillar will then shoot the switch on the high area
of the wall and lower the platform for you to reach the door switch.
ONCE YOU'RE PAST THE LASER PILLAR ROOM, You will find yourself in a room
with a lot of statues. Take the nearby northeast wall doorway.
A bomb puzzle. Push the ground-level bomb onto the southeast orange tile
(the lowest tile on the screen). This will lower a platform within jumping
range. Jump onto that platform and push the bomb that is sitting on it off
onto ground level (push it northwest). Push this bomb onto the other orange
tile. Now both tiles should have a bomb on it. Read this sentence and the
next fully and completely before proceeding. Strike the southeast bomb
(the lowest bomb) and wait 1 full second (the bomb timer will go from
3 to 2) then strike the other bomb. Jump onto the platform within jumping
range. Wait for the first bomb to explode, When it explodes, the platform
will fly up into the air - Once within jumping range of the next platform,
jump to it. The last bomb will explode and you can reach the treasure chest
at the top. The chest has Gauntlets (gloves) Equip them and then exit the
room.
Travel all the way southwest (past every statue) in the statue room and take
the door at the end.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
You are now in a Beat Them! room, but before we beat the crap out
of these 3 pathetic worms, take the open doorways on each side of the room.
In the southern room is a woman being attacked by a ghost. That or she's just
having too much fun with ghosts again. Attack the ghost to save her. The
other room contains a bomb puzzle.
To solve this bomb puzzle, you must push the bomb onto the platform under the
switch. Strike the bomb to light it, then go stand on the orange tile. Now
you simply wait till the very last possible moment before it explodes to
jump from the orange tile to the platform northeast of you. If you time it
right, the bomb will go off, flipping the switch. The switch-flip will make
the platform that YOU just jumped on fly up to the chest at the top. This one
can be annoying, but I find that the main thing that matters is placement of
the bomb. I try to keep the bomb more southwest than northeast. (Check
SPEECH section of my FAQ if you don't know what I mean). The treasure chest
contains a MUSIC BOX. The music box is the answer to another puzzle later
on this floor.
Exit this room back to the Beat Them! room. These worms shouldn't be hard.
At all. They are just annoying. Kill them and then enter the doorway that
opens.
O===========================================================================O
| Yellow Orb Room (YYI) |
O===========================================================================O
Here you'll find a sign that says "Penumbra..." This is your only hint to
the next puzzle. Walk into the next room. You'll see 4 statues. One statue
holds a star, another a half-moon, another a full moon, and the last a dark
moon. These 4 statues have to be put in a line. When I say line I mean up
against each other, the first one in the line will be closest to the Yellow
Orb, the last one in the line will be closest to the doorway. Line them up
like this:
*YELLOW ORB*
Star
Semi-Moon
Black Moon
Full White Moon
*DOORWAY*
Once they are properly lined up, you'll hear a neat sound effect and now
you can grab the Yellow Orb.
How did I know that? To be honest, I would love to say that I am a
space-freak and instantly knew the meaning of Penumbra, but the truth is I
figured this one out with luck alone. I had no idea what to do and was just
messing around when it suddenly lined up right and worked.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 2 (2 Orbs to Go: R. B.) (YYJ) |
O===========================================================================O
From the yellow Orb room, travel backwards to the Beat Them! worms room
-to- Statues Room -to- Laser Pillar room -to- 2 Skeletons 2 goblins room
-to- Dead skelly room -to- Water current room -to- Spider web Gargoyle room.
Now from the Gargoyle room, take the northeast room (The room the gargoyle
is looking at). You are now in another fire blob hallway. Kill the fire
blob (or don't) and take the southeast path. There's a save point! Save
your game and head back to the fire blob hallway. Now take the northeast
doorway by unlocking it with the GOLD KEY. You should be in a water room
with killer lillipads. Kill the lillipads (or don't) and head into the next
room. In this room is a bomb already ticking and a grandfather clock. Run
over to the clock and strike it BEFORE the bomb explodes. This will freeze
time. Nifty. Now move the bomb towards the blocked doorway. Once it's in
place, strike the clock to start time. The bomb will detonate and the
doorway will be opened. Proceed. In this room are 3 annoying worms. Kill
them (or don't) and then proceed.
This spiked floor room can be annoying, but all you have to do is just
manuever to the other doorway and move on. If you don't want to get hurt by
the spikes you can jump on every OTHER tile to get accross faster.
Alright! A laser pillar, 2 blocks, and a moving platform. Jump up onto the
mountain that holds the 2 blocks. You want to push the block that's higher
up onto the ground by the laser pillar. To do that you just have to jump
from the mountain - in the air MOVE BEHIND the block and push it to the
ground. Once it's on the ground push the block until it is directly
northeast of the laser pillar. Push the laser pillar onto the block. Strike
the laser until it is pointing at the southwest wall (to prepare). Push the
block (with the pillar on it) to the platform that has a switch-tile. Push
the laser pillar onto the platform's MOST northwest edge. The moving
platform nearby will automatically push the pillar onto the platform. Flip
the switch and the pillar will raise up. Manuever yourself to the southeast
side of the pillar. When the moving platform gets close enough, push your
pillar onto it. The pillar will fall and (hopefully) land on the moving
platform. Once it's on the moving platform wait for the platform to be
directly above the mountain of blocks, then QUICKLY push the laser pillar
off. If you do it fast enough, the laser pillar will land ON the mountain
of blocks, and then the moving platform will push it off the mountain and
in front of the door. The door will open. Go in.
Inside the room is Thunder (weapon) and SCROLL 5. Equip and head out. From
the laser pillar room, head southeast. You are now in a flame pillar barrel
room.
This room can suck, there are multiple solutions to this puzzle but I am
ONLY going to list the easiest most direct solution. You are suppose to put
a barrel up in the air on the moving platforms OVER the fire...
but...
It's much easier just to push the barrel that's on the ground through the
flame pillars when the timing is right. Yes, you will most probably get
David hit once, maybe twice - but it's so much faster and easier. First get
a good look at the room before attempting. TIP: For the last flame pillar,
Push the barrel up against the wall where the switch is, then push it past
the pillar - I find it easier that way (because you're farther away from
the flames). Once you see your goal, just push the barrel past each flame
pillar to the door, then strike the barrel and take the newly opened
doorway.
THE FIRST THING you should do in this room, is strike the blocks against
the southwest wall with your sword. They will shatter to reveal a hidden
doorway. Take it. In here is a chest with a pendant. Exit back to the room
you came from. You'll see a guy trapped in a cage. He bribes you with
teaching you something to your advantage if you let him go. Let him go.
Then he throws out a little sentence. Hope it taught you something. I didn't
learn anything honestly. Moving on, head into the southwest door.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, you have to kill 3 sorcerors. These
guys can get annoying. They teleport here and there, shooting fireballs.
I just jump around stabbing at them. Once they are dead, head into the door
that opened.
O===========================================================================O
| Red Orb Room (YYK) |
O===========================================================================O
You are now in the Red Orb room, There are 4 Prong type structures. When you
strike them with your sword they play a musical note. I will refer to the
pitches as LOWEST, NEXT-LOWEST, NEXT-HIGHEST, HIGHEST. I will refer to the
Prongs as UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT.
The UP prong plays the LOWEST note. The LEFT prong plays the NEXT-LOWEST
note, the RIGHT prong plays the NEXT-HIGHEST note, and the DOWN prong plays
the HIGHEST note.
Orient yourself with what I just described, and when ready play the
following:
HIGHEST (DOWN)
NEXT-LOWEST (LEFT)
NEXT-HIGHEST (RIGHT)
LOWEST (UP)
NEXT-LOWEST (LEFT)
NEXT-HIGHEST (RIGHT)
HIGHEST (DOWN)
The neat sound effect will play and you can grab the Red Orb.
How did I know that? The MUSIC BOX that we found earlier when played (in
your inventory) plays the notes in order.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 2 (1 Orb Left: B.) (YYL) |
O===========================================================================O
From the Red Orb room, work your way backwards. From the Beat Them! Sorceror
room -to- trapped guy room -to- flame pillar barrel room -to- laser pillar
room -to- spike floor room -to- 3 pathetic worms room -to- bomb clock room
-to- water lillipad room -to- Fire blob hallway.
Welcome back. In fire blob hallway, take the southeast room to the Save
point. Save. Then from the fire blob hallway, take the southwest door (the
door closest to the save point room). This room may look a little familiar
to you. It's the first room you saw when you first got to floor B2. Open
the barred gate door using the GOLD KEY and proceed onward to the last orb.
Travel through the water room to the next room.
There are 3 doors in this laser room. Before doing anything, just take one
of the already open doorways. You'll find yourself in a room with a skeleton
and a SCROLL 2. Well, to the right of scroll 2 are some wall-blocks that your
sword can shatter. Shatter the blocks to find a switch. The switch opens a
magical doorway. Take the magical doorway.
Inside is a chest with the SEXTANT! What is the SEXTANT you ask? Why it's a
portable transporter. You can teleport to any other transport room with this
(provided you have already been there before). Travel backwards to the
skelly room -to- The laser room.
Now push the laser pillar southwest until the laser pillar is pressed up
against the nearby gargoyle statue. After that, push the laser pillar
northwest until it hits the wall. If this is done properly, before the
pillar reaches the wall, you should reveal a magical doorway. Take
the magical doorway. Inside this room is a chest with a Green Potion.
The Green Potion fills all of your magics to 99. Charkan showed me this
hidden room. Thanks, Charkan! Go back out to the laser pillar room.
Don't push the laser pillar, but instead just hit it 3 times. The door will
open.
This room can be annoying. Your goal is to make one of those goblins stand on
top of the orange tile. How do you get them to cooperate? Push them. Yes,
they will hit you, but it must be done. Sometimes this is annoying because
you'll put the goblin in the right spot, but then he'll walk off it. Here's
what to do. Push a goblin onto the platform, then quickly jump over to the
switch on the wall. Hit the switch and the platform will raise the goblin up.
Now push the goblin onto the orange tile. Keep an eye on your health. Once
you have accomplished this, head into the open doorway.
Now you're in a room with a half-spiked floor, and a fire sponge junior. The
goal of this room is to get the barrel accross the spikes and to the door.
Kill the sponge monster first. VERY CAREFULLY manuever yourself behind the
barrel (on it's northeast side). When the moving platform gets close enough
to the barrel, push the barrel onto it. When the barrel gets close to the
next moving platform, push the barrel onto it. QUICKLY JUMP to the northwest
side of the barrel, to ensure you will be able to set up for your next push.
This next push is TRICKY. If you push too hard, the barrel will be up
against the wall and you lose. If you don't push it hard enough, it will
fall on the spikes and set off the barrel and you lose. You have to just
barely tap the directional, hard enough to push it off the platform, but no
harder. It should hopefully land on the very edge of the safe land. Begin
pushing the barrel towards the door. There's a chance that you might not be
able to get on the southeast side of the barrel for the final push to the
door, but if the barrel is close enough, the door will open regardless.
Light the barrel and pass through the doorway once open.
This room has a treasure chest on top of a pillar, with 4 lamps around it.
In the corner of the room is a platform. The platform will move in response
to the lamps. If you hit the southeast lamp, the platform will travel
southeast. If you hit the northwest lamp, it will travel northwest. Your
goal is to guide the platform towards the treasure chest. You want the
platform to push it off the pillar. The easiest way to do this is to hit the
southeast lamp, WATCH THE PLATFORM'S SHADOW, and then quickly hit the
southwest lamp when the timing is right. It should push the treasure chest
off the pillar (and most probably on top of the lamp). If it lands on top of
the lamp you can push it off with David's jump. The chest contains a
Maximum Life. Take the northeast doorway.
In here are 3 barrels stacked on top of each other. The goal of this room
is to push each barrel to the edge of the barrel it's sitting on - to form
stairs. Then from the top barrel - jump to the SCROLL 3 at the top. Once
you grab the SCROLL 3 exit this room, then take the southeast doorway from
the lamp room.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, there are 3 Fire Sponge Juniors. They
are quite easy to kill (especially if you read my technique on how to kill
them without getting hurt). Kill them and then proceed into the opened
doorway. The fire sponge junior closest to the blocked door will drop
SCROLL 4. Once you pick up SCROLL 4 you will have the complete scroll.
Reading that will provide the answer to how to get the GREEN ORB.
O===========================================================================O
| Blue Orb Room (YYM) |
O===========================================================================O
In this room is a giant compass, with N, E, S, and W (North, East, South,
and West) The goal of this room is to move the compass needle to each
direction in the correct order. So, what is the correct order?
N.E.W.S
North, East, West, South
This compass can be a little annoying to move, but there really shouldn't be
too many issues with pointing it. Once you have put those directions in, a
neat sound effect will play and the blue orb will be yours to grab.
How did I know that? On the other side of B2 we rescued a man from a monster,
When David speaks to him he says N.E.W.S. (although David wonders if he hit
his head).
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 2 Boss (Genie) (YYN) |
O===========================================================================O
Once you have gathered all 4 orbs, the man who gave you the GOLD KEY will
come out from the floor (magic! whoosh!) and reveal that he used you to
gather the orbs for him, and that he is actually Bloodroke, leader of the
Wizard's Guild. He takes the orbs from you and then sends you down to B3 to
fight a monster.
When you land (because it's a long fall) you'll see your foe. It's like a
half-man half-genie type critter. To be honest I don't know what he is. He
flies around the room usually just out of reach, then he'll zip down and
smack you with his staff. He's really annoying. He'll also zoom to the back
wall, then release like 4-5 tiles that follow you around trying to hurt you.
There are many ways to defeat him, I'll share my favorite way. When you
first land head to the CENTER of the NORTHWEST wall (This wall is decorated
with 2 giant golden circles and a little golden circle inbetween them. Stand
a little below and in front of the little golden circle). (aka right behind
him) Once there, face towards the center of the room and just start swinging
your sword. See he likes to fly around alot, but almost every time he
comes down to smack you, if you are positioned right - he'll just get hurt
and then fly back up. Then when he tries to cast the tiles, SOMETIMES you
can interrupt him with your hits. And 90% of his fireball spells will hit
the wall trying to get to you. He's really not that tough. Just stab him
till he dies. David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword Swinging technique once
he's defeated (which magically restores David's health) and you can head
on to the next room.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 3 (YYO) |
O===========================================================================O
Welcome to floor 3. The first thing you'll see are the stairs leading back
up to floor 2. You end up coming from the gargoyle statue on B2. Anyways.
On B3, take the first doorway you see (The one Northeast of the stairs). In
this room is a chest (Maximum Life) and a door leading to a Healing Fountain
Room. Once you've got that Maximum life and are healed up, head northwest
from the stairs. You'll find a doorway leading to a room with 3 fire blobs
and a barred gate door. To get the gate up, all you have to do is flip the
switch that's up at the top of one of the block mountains. It's too easy.
Flip the switch and proceed.
What's this!?! Human slaves digging? Yes, the goblins are living under the
city (in B3) and making the humans dig tunnels for some reason. Take the
only other doorway available from there and you'll find yourself in a room
with 2 goblins holding boulders over their head. It would BEHOOVE you not to
walk under them. Head on into the next room. You'll find yourself in a Save
Point room. Save your game. Head into the next room.
You are now in a goblin town. I will not guide you on a tour through every
area of this place, because some of the rooms here are pointless town
zones. Instead I will guide you where you NEED to go to beat B3. From
this room, take the northwest doorway. And from the room you find yourself
in, Take the northwest doorway.
o-----------------------o
| Answer the Riddle! |
o-----------------------o
In this Answer the Riddle! room, all you have to do is
repeat the light pattern the pillars display by striking the pillars in
order. Each time the order gets longer and longer. This particular room will
only do 4 lights then let you pass. Answer correctly then proceed to the
next room.
From this room go through the northwest doorway.
You will find yourself in a room with 3 bombs and a clock. A 3 second bomb,
a 6 second bomb, and a 9 second bomb. INSTANTLY upon entering this room
strike the clock to freeze time. Push the 3 second bomb (the bomb closest
to the clock) onto the orange tile. Then unfreeze time and watch the bomb
push the tile down. Once the platform drops ALL THE WAY to the floor (about
1 full second) freeze time again. Push the 6 second bomb (southwest bomb)
onto the platform. Unfreeze time and wait for the 3 second bomb to explode,
lifting the 6 second bomb up. Once the 6 second bomb is ALL THE WAY UP,
freeze time again. Push the 10 second bomb (which is on the ground level)
up against the mountain of blocks. This will be your stepping stool. Jump
on top of the 9 second bomb and then jump on top of the mountain.
Push your 6 second bomb all the way to the barred door. This is cool because
your 6 second bomb will defy gravity and stay in the air (time is frozen,
after all). Once your bomb is placed in front of the door, head back to the
clock, strike it to start time. Hop on top of the 9 second bomb and then on
top of the mountain before your 9 second bomb explodes. Your doorway will be
standing open for you.
In this room, DO NOT take the immediate northwest doorway you see. Not yet
at least. Instead take the northeast doorway further down the trail. It's a
healing fountain. Heal up and exit the room. NOW take the northwest
doorway.
O===========================================================================O
| Water Dragon and Rider (B3) (YYP) |
O===========================================================================O
This room is a water room. Out of the water is a dragon, with a mage/wizard
riding on it's neck. The easiest way to kill this dragon is to jump into
the water. Move David directly in front of the dragon. Tap UP on your
Directional pad. You should be looking to the right of the dragon (or from
the dragon's view, the left). Jump up and slash your sword. David should
just swing his sword, not do a dive. If he does a dive you are still looking
at the dragon, you need to be looking up, not directly at the dragon.
Try backing up if this keeps happening. The dragon is not tough. He casts
a few spells. Like fireball and lightning. If you are doing the technique
for killing him properly, you probably wont even get hurt. It's pretty easy.
Once he's dead David will stand on top of the water. He will do his
I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword Swinging technique (which magically replenishes
David's life) and then you'll be good to go. You'll also fall back
into the water. Ha. Head into the next room.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 3 Continued (YYQ) |
O===========================================================================O
This room is pretty simple. 3 blocks, you, and 4 tiles. Push 3 of the blocks
onto tiles, and then stand on a fourth one. The doorway will open. Go in.
In this room is a laser pillar, 2 bombs, and 2 switches. Move the laser
pillar into the south corner of the room. DO NOT STRIKE IT. Then push the
bombs on each side of the pillar (Northwest, and Northeast) To prevent
yourself from accidentally striking the pillar, you can leave a little bit
of space between the pillar and the bombs.
When everything is in position, strike the left bomb, wait 1 full second,
then strike the second bomb. Now jump onto the platform and enjoy the ride.
Inside the chest at the top is COSTUME. Very handy tool. I will use it a lot
for the rest of the game.
Now it's time to travel back, back, back. Back to the 4 tile room -to-
water dragon room -to- connecting room -to- 3 bombs room -to- The long
hallway room -to- Answer the Riddle! Light pillar room. This is where you
need to be. From the Answer the Riddle! light pillar room, take the
southeast door. In this next room you should have to choose between 2
southeast doors. It really doesn't matter which door you take, we are simply
heading from one end of the town to the other.
Put on your COSTUME. Take the upper southeast door. In this room continue
to walk southeast and enter the doorway you find (should be a straight line
path). You'll find yourself in a Healing Fountain room. From here take the
southeast doorway. The first thing you should see are 2 cows and an goblin.
Walk around them and take the uppermost southeast path. You should be in
a room with a crossbow wielding goblin and a barred door.
Wearing the COSTUME, Speak to the guard. He will insult you and then open
the door. This next room is simply a connecting room. Follow the path.
Now you should be in a room with 2 ground-level doorways, and 2 air-level
doorways. 1 doorway up in the air is reachable by floating platforms. Jump
up the floating platforms and take the doorway. You'll notice in this room
there is strange object on the wall. We will come back to this later. For
now simply proceed onward into the next room. In here is a goblin guarding
a pile of blocks. BEHIND the blocks is a treasure chest containing
POWER (gloves). Get the gloves and equip them. Then head backwards to
strange object room -to- platform room. Take the southern most southwest
door.
In this room are 4 goblins guarding a narrow path from one doorway to the
other. Either kill all the goblins and pass through the room, or don your
COSTUME and walk through. Your choice. This will lead to a room with 3
doorways to choose from.
The northwest doorway leads to a tunnel with a human slave you can speak
to. The southwest doorway is a healing fountain, and the southeast doorway
is a Boss.
O===========================================================================O
| 4 Legged Spider (B3) (YYR) |
O===========================================================================O
This boss can be pretty easy. All you have to do is move David right up to
the spider's face and start swinging like crazy. When the spider moves
backwards simply follow it. When the spider moves forward it will push
David along. It attacks in the following ways:
o-----------------------o
| Fireball |
o-----------------------o
The spider extends it's body into the air, and begins to shoot
fireballs at David. It will shoot 10 fireballs before the spider
comes back down. To avoid getting hurt keep David moving.
This is the most powerful attack the spider has. The farther
away from the spider you are, the easier it is to avoid the
fireballs.

| Arm Swing |
o-----------------------o
It stretches one arm out, then brings it in to hit you, then it
repeats for the other arm.
o-----------------------o
| Earthquake |
o-----------------------o
The spider jumps up, and when it comes down it casts Earthquake,
simply jump twice, starting right when the spider casts the
spell to avoid being hurt.
Once you have defeated it, David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword Swinging
technique (which magically replenishes David's health) and the doorway to
the next room will open.

| Floor 3 Continued (After Spider) (YYS) |
O===========================================================================O
In the next room you'll see 3 floating platforms (2 of them moving) and 2
giant brown balls swinging on ropes. The goal of this room is to jump from
platform to ball, to ball, to platform, to platform - so you can flip the
switch up on the wall. It's not really difficult, the best advice for this
room is "Slow and steady" I find my lack of patience causes me to jump way
too early. Once you flip the switch, head onward to the next room.
Inside the end room you'll find a treasure chest with a TAP HANDLE. Now
head back through the 2 brown ball room -to- The spider room -to- the
connecting hallway room -to- The 4 goblin guard room -to- the 4 doorways
room. This is where you need to be.
Once again, jump up the platforms and enter the doorway. In the room with
the strange object, open up your inventory and use the TAP HANDLE. David
will place the handle on the wall. Exit the room from where you came.
The previous room is now filled with water, and you can reach the other
doorway now by swimming through the water. Take the other doorway. In this
room is a barrel, block, and orange tile. Simply push the barrel on to the
orange tile. Light the fuse and quickly jump on top of the lowered platform.
When the barrel explodes it will lift you up to the top where there is a
switch. Flip the switch and take the now opened doorway.
Now you should be in a room with 2 barrels, a floating platform, and a barred
door (on the other side of a mountain) The goal of this room is to get the
barrel on the higher level moved off the mountain and to the door. Here's
how to do that. Push the barrel that is on the lowest level southwest until
it falls on the ground. Once it's on the ground, push the barrel under the
floating platform - this will prevent the platform from falling when the
other barrel lands on it.
Once the barrel is under the platform, manuever behind the highest level
barrel and push it southeast onto the floating platform. Push it until it's
past the obstacles that block it from falling off the mountain's northwest
side. Once you are past the obstacles, push the barrel northwest and to the
door. Detonate and move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, you have to defeat 3 worms. It's too
easy. Do so and move on.
I hate this room. In this room you should see a switch, and 3 floating
platforms. You can only jump onto the lowest platforms, the other
2 are out of reach. The goal of this room is to flip the switch, and use
the falling giant brown balls as STEPS between each platforms. What makes
this room tricky is the fact that you can accidentally kick the balls off
instead of land on them, and screw up the stairs. The easiest way to
accomplish this is to ensure David is high enough in the air BEFORE you
move him over towards the ball. At the top is a treasure chest containing
KEY 3.
Grab the KEY 3 and travel back to Beat Them! room -to- 2 barrels room -to-
barrel block room -to- Water current room -to- TAP HANDLE room. Once
again, open up your inventory and use the TAP HANDLE. Exit the room from
where you came. The water is now gone. Take the northern-most southwest
room. Follow the path into the next room. You should be back at the room
with the goblin guarding the door. Take the southern-most southwest doorway.
Once again we are going to travel accross the goblin city. Take the doorway
on the other side of the cows you see. You should be in the Healing
Fountain room. Take the northwest doorway. Walk straight northwest and take
the doorway you see (should be straight ahead). In this room you should see
another northwest doorway. Take it. You're back in the Answer the Riddle!
light pillar room. Answer the riddle to proceed.
Now see the barred door straight in front of David? You can open this door
with KEY 3. Do so and enter. You'll find our old B2 friend. He will give you
the STONE TABLET he found and tell you that the Princess may be able to read
it. We'll be paying the Princess a visit, but not just yet.
First we're going to take care of some bonus treasures on this floor.
Exit the room. In this narrow hallway, jump up the 2 platforms and enter
the upper doorway. In this room use the TAP HANDLE. Exit the room. The
previous room is now filled with water. Use the water to manuever to the
other upper doorway. In this room are 3 fireblobs. Kill them (or don't) and
proceed onward.
This room should have a barrel, and 2 swinging balls - one swinging quickly,
one swinging slowly. The goal of this room is to move the barrel past the
swinging balls to the barred door at the end, without having the balls knock
the barrel onto the spikes. Move the barrel to the southeast end of the land
strip and when the time is right - push it northeast past the swinging balls.
Once you get past the 2 balls place the barrel by the door and detonate it.
Enter.
o-----------------------o
| Answer the Riddle! |
o-----------------------o
In this Answer the Riddle! room, there are 4 pillars of
light, each light emits a note. You have to repeat which notes the pillars
play. It will end up playing a total of 11 notes. I hope you're good at the
game "Simon" - because that's exactly what this is. After you get all 11
notes right, a chest will drop from the ceiling with CHAIN MAIL (armor)
inside. Equip and exit.
Head back from the swinging ball room -to- fireblobs room -to- water current
room -to- TAP HANDLE room. Use the TAP HANDLE in your inventory to make the
water in the previous room disappear. Once you have used the TAP HANDLE,
exit this room. The water should be gone.
You have reached a crossroads point in this FAQ. There is an optional
section of the dungeon up ahead. The reward is a sword called "Lightning"
which is better than "Thunder". If you don't want to go through this part
of the dungeon, skip ahead to the next section, labeled:
"Floor 3 Continued (After Optional Area)"
(You can copy this 3 letter code: YYU, press CTRL+F and paste it to find
the next section easier.)
O===========================================================================O
| Optional Section of Floor 3 (YYT) |
O===========================================================================O
Start at the room outside the room where you got the STONE TABLET. It should
be a long hallway with 2 platforms that lead to an upper doorway. Open up
your inventory and use the Costume. You'll be dressed like a white goblin
(Don't discriminate). Now head into the southwest doorway. Talk to the guard
you see in this room. He'll insult you (YOU SMELL LIKE A HUMAN! - Oh yea!
Well you look like one! Oooo!), but he'll open the door for you.
I use to have the hardest time with this puzzle. To me - it was the hardest
puzzle in the game. But thanks to you FAQ readers out there, I have been
emailed a solution that is so much easier! My thanks goes out to Rocko
for emailing me an easier solution to the puzzle.
This puzzle is broken down into steps.
Step 1 - Dropping the Block.
Push the block one square southeast.
Push the block onto the ground and push it out to the center of the big
open space.
Step 2 - Adjusting the Barrel
Push the barrel to the southwest edge of it's platform. This should only
take a slight nudge. You'll notice it's not lined up with the edge.
We want it to be lined up with the edge.
Push the barrel against the southeast edge. Just like the southwest ledge
- this should only be a slight nudge. You'll notice it's not lined up with
the edge. We want it to be lined up with the edge.
Step 3 - Moving the Block
Move the block to the southeast side of the barrel.
Step 4 - Load the barrel
Push the barrel onto the block.
Step 5 - Kick Ball
Kick the ball Northeast
Kick the ball southeast. It will roll towards the block and barrel. The
barrel will stop the ball. The barrel MAY be moved slightly by the ball.
Kick the ball southwest. It will fall to the floor and go up against
the southwest wall. Kick the ball southeast. It should now be leaning
against the platform where our button is.
Step 6 - Push Barrel
Push the barrel off of the block and over to the raisable platform -- BUT
NOT AGAINST THE WALL. Once the platform is raised we will need to make
sure we can push it to the door.
Step 7 - Victory
Stand between the giant ball and the button.
Read this sentence and the next completely before doing any other action.
Kick the ball and QUICKLY jump onto the button. The platform should
raise and the giant ball should roll under the platform, holding it up.
Get off the button. Push the barrel to the door. Detonate!
Congrats!
The next room you walk in will have 4 lamps, 2 giant red balls, 1 silver
ball, an orange tile, and lots of wind. The goal of this room is to get
the silver ball onto the orange tile, using the lamp posts to change the
wind direction.
I will refer to the lamps as UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT.
First thing you should do is kick the giant red ball that's off by itself
and force it to join the other 2 balls in the corner. Strike the DOWN lamp.
The red balls will be against the wall with the silver one beside them.
Strike the LEFT lamp. The silver ball will fly a little more forward but
you'll notice is stuck against the wall. Give the silver ball a kick out
from the wall and it will fly to the left corner of the room. Strike the
DOWN lamp. Strike the RIGHT lamp. Kick the silver ball a tad bit to the
left. It will fly to the corner close to the orange tile. Strike the UP
lamp. Manuever yourself to the proper side of the silver ball and kick it
on to the orange tile. Enter the opened doorway.
In this room is 3 goblins. 1 on the ground level with a mace, the other 2 up
on platforms with boulders. Take the first open doorway you see. In this room
is a chest with a Red Potion. Exit the room. To open the barred gate in the
3 goblins room, simply push one of the boulder holding goblins off their
platform, then jump from floating platform to floating platform until you
reach the switch at the end. Flip the switch and the barred gate will open.
Go in.
You'll find yourself in a useless connecting room. Take the room it connects
to.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, you'll find 3 Shield Guards. These
people can be annoying. They block entirely too much and when you least
expect it throw their shield at you, or lower their shield and strike you
with their sword. The easiest way I've found to defeat them is to use
Thunder magic (Elements A,E) and cast it from a distance. Sometimes it fries
them instantly. These guards have a small chance of dropping the Armor
"Bronze". And in the chest they are guarding is the weapon "Lightning"
Equip.
Time to head back. Back to the connecting room -to- 3 goblins room -to-
serious windage room -to- hardcore puzzle room -to- guarded doorway room
-to- Narrow Hallway. Here's where we need to be.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 3 Continued (After Optional Area) (YYU) |
O===========================================================================O
Take the southeast wall doorway to be back in the light pillar room. Take
the southeast doorway to exit there. Take the southeast northern doorway
from this room. This room twists like a snake and has pillars running down
the middle of it. If you head directly southeast there should be a Fountain
Room straight ahead. You can heal up there. From the fountain room, head
through the northeast door. You should be right back in the twisty snake
room. Continue to head northeast from the room you came from and you should
head straight into a northeast doorway.
This room should have a clock beam that is rotating. Below the clock beam
is a spiked floor. On one side of the clock beam is a barrel. On the other
side of the room is a blocked door. And then near your doorway is another
open doorway that leads to the Fighting Tournament room (See FAQ section
FIGHTING TOURNAMENT Prefix: YZ5).
Jump on the island with the barrel and push it southeast until the barrel
is at the edge. When the time is right push the barrel off of the platform
and onto the moving clock beam. Very quickly jump from where you are towards
the center of the clock beam. when you land immediately begin pushing the
barrel off of the beam on to the land strip where the blocked door is. If
you fail and fall off, the barrel will slowly move towards the center of the
clock beam (or it will fall off). Just jump back on the beam and push it off
again. Once you get it to the door blow up the door, PUT ON YOUR COSTUME,
and move on.
Speak to the guard northwest of your current position. He'll insult you and
open the door. Go inside. You should be in a room with 4 treasure chests
- Maximum Life, Orange, Tomato, and Wine! Exit the room. This time head to
the other end of the hallway and speak to the guard at that end. He'll
insult you and open the doorway. Go in. Speak to the royal goblin you find
inside. He'll tell you about how Lord Bloodroke is looking for a Stone
Tablet (Kinda like the STONE TABLET we have in our inventory! Ha.) You can
use KEY 3 to open the barred gate on the other side of the room. Open it
and proceed in.
In this room you'll see written on the floor
I R O N
G A T E
For now ignore this and go through the only open doorway available to you.
It's the teleport room! Teleport to the castle.
O===========================================================================O
| Green Row (The End of B3) (YYV) |
O===========================================================================O
Now that you're in the castle go visit the Princess (She is in her room,
northwest of the main castle hall). Speak to her and she will translate
the STONE TABLET. You learn about the creation of Ramiah, and that there
was once a King named Garriott who with the help of 8 mages created a
powerful sword called Light Crusader. With this sword Garriott was able to
banish the evil demon Ramiah and seal his power inside four orbs. You also
learn that Light Crusader was also sealed within the shrine.
Never forget the name of King Garriott.
Do whatever business you feel you need to do in Green Row, and when prepared
take the teleport room back to floor B3.
Once you are back in B3 exit the teleport room. You are now back in the
IRON GATE room. The floor has the following written on it.
I R O N
G A T E
In order to open the barred door you must jump on the following:
G A R R I O T T
Yes - spell out the name Garriott. After all, didn't the STONE TABLET say
to never forget his name?
Once you step on all the letters the door will open. Enter and take the
stairs to B4.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 4 (YYW) |
O===========================================================================O
Welcome to the 4th floor. This floor has an outer ring, and you are standing
in it now. If you check your map you'll see you're at the top of the screen.
The outer ring goes all the way around the edges of your screen. And since
this is a ring, you have two paths to choose from, RIGHT, or LEFT. I will
describe both paths. In my honest opinion the LEFT path is easier.
o------------o
| LEFT PATH |
o------------o
If you want to take the left path, from the stairs go left (west). Take the
southwest doorway you find. You'll find yourself on an ice floor with 2
giant brown balls swinging around. The balls will try to knock you off of
the ice path and on to the spikes, simply jump like crazy and navigate
through this room. Take the door on the other end of the ice path.
Now you're in a room with fireballs shooting like crazy accross a narrow
ice path. I find this easy to avoid by simply exiting the room from where
you entered, then re-entering and HOLD the southwest directions. Most of
the time David just runs right through all of the fireballs without getting
hit.
In this room are 3 fire sponge juniors blocking a narrow path leading to the
next doorway. I simply jump on top of the moving platform, and then from
there I jump over the sponges to the doorway. =) Next room.
This next room can be annoying. The goal of this room is to knock out the
ice under the laser pillar, then use the laser pillar to open the blocked
doorway. The hardest part about this room is actually getting David BETWEEN
the ice pillar and the wall. Sometimes it's easier to just destroy the pillar
totally and then get between the laser pillar and the wall. If you can
manage to get David there, you are in the clear, simply slice the ice blocks,
Point the laser southeast, then give the pillar a push southwest. The door
will open. Proceed.
In the next room are 2 zombies. Kill them (or don't) and travel accross the
room and take the southeast door. In this room are 2 doorways, the doorway
you want to take is at the furthest end of the hallway. Travel down the
hallway and take that door.
In this room are 2 fireball banshees. Kill them (or don't) and then take the
northwest doorway open to you. Do not take the northeast door at the end of
the hallway - that will take you to the end portion of the RIGHT PATH. I
repeat: Take the northwest doorway. Now please skip ahead to the --NOW WHAT--
section.
o-------------o
| RIGHT PATH |
o-------------o
Although this path is shorter, it is also a little bit harder. From the
stairs go right (east). Take the southeast doorway you find. You'll find
yourself on an ice path (very narrow) and 2 barrels. Along the narrow path's
edges are fast moving platforms. The goal of this room is to slide one of
the barrels accross the winding ice path to the barred door at the end. The
difficulty is in moving the barrel. A slight nudge will send the barrel
sliding non-stop towards the spiked floor. What will stop it? The moving
platforms. You have to push the barrel at the right timing to make the
barrel hit the moving platforms and stop the barrel. Then you re-time, and
re-push in another direction over and over until you reach the door. This
can be... annoying. Time your pushes and get the barrel to the door. Easier
said than done. Once you have accomplished this feat, detonate the barrel
and enter the doorway.
In the next room is a goblin with a crossbow and an open doorway. Have fun
killing the goblin and take the doorway when finished. The next room
has a block on ice and a button against the wall. Have David kick the block
in the direction of the button AND THEN quickly move David against the door.
Press against the door until the block hits the button and opens the door
- enter quickly - the block will not hold the button down for long.
The room after that holds 3 annoying skeletons sitting on 3 islands made of
ice. Hop from island to island and make your way to the doorway on the
other side. Take it. In the next room take the immediate northwest door
you see. Please read on in the --NOW WHAT-- section.
o-----------o
| NOW WHAT |
o-----------o
Okay, you've chosen your path and are now in the room I need you to be
in... I'm sure you're starting to love spiked floors. I am going to call
this room BIG SPIKE ROOM - and I will reference this room later, so I want
you to memorize where this room is located (Check your map) The very first
door on your right that you can see is a Teleport room, grab the teleport
point (for your SEXTANT). Once you are back in the spiked floor room. Jump
northwest onto the next land strip. There are 2 doors - one on your right,
one on your left. The door on your left (southwest wall) is a healing
fountain room. Heal up if neccessary. Now notice the lamps on the side of
the walls? The lamps when struck will summon a moving platform to move to
your area. Honestly - You don't need them. After all there is a healing
fountain room right beside this room. Make your way (either by platform
or by jumping on the spikes) to the north corner of the room. Take the
northeast doorway you see there. It's a shop! However, the wizard wont
sell you anything. He keeps asking for a CREST. Exit the shop.
Now from where you're standing - on the opposite side of the room (accross
the spikes) there is a treasure chest with a pendant in it just waiting
for you to get to. You can either manipulate the moving platform, or you
can power jump accross the spikes. Once you've gotten your pendant and are
ready to drive on, move David back to the healing room (in the southeast
side of the room). Take the doorway on the otherside of the Healing Room
doorway.
In this next room are 2 zombies and 2 lamp posts. I don't know if the lamp
posts have a purpose in life. Kill the zombies (or don't) and head into
the next room. You'll find yourself in a connecting room. Take the southeast
doorway (accross the hall from your doorway). In this room you'll find
the following on the floor
OXO
XOX
OXO
The goal of this puzzle is to make the X's disappear. To make them disappear,
simply jump on them. So have David jump on each X, they will turn into O's.
Once the floor is completely O's, the door will open.
Ahhh, a Ball puzzle. Haven't seen one of these in awhile. The goal of this
puzzle is to push the giant ball accross the wind hallway, using the
wind and ONLY the wind to guide the ball into the orange tile. This is
all a matter of timing. I have measured the time you should wait until you
kick the ball. It is 5 full seconds. Now I realize that some people may
measure 5 seconds faster or slower than others, so I have also devised
another way to time yourself for kicking the ball. Here it is:
Exit and Re-enter the room. As soon as you enter the doorway begin pressing
the jump button as fast as you can. After you do 14 jumps, walk over and
kick the ball. The 14 jumps will be stunted, because David will be hitting
his head on the doorway, but I have found this to be an accurate way
to measure this puzzle. If you are a slow button masher, do 13 presses.
You'll know if you're fast or slow in the following manner - Fast people
will have their balls be blown against the wall by the wind. Slow people's
ball will get past the wind, but not line up right with the orange tile.
So whichever case you are in, decide on whether you need to speed up or
slow down.
Inside the treasure chest is a Relayer sword. Equip it and leave the room
to the X0X0 room -to- the connecting room. From here go northwest and take
the first door on your left. You'll find a poor villager tied to a stake.
Set him free and exit the room. Take the northwest wall doorway in the
connecting hall.
In this room you'll see 2 doorways and a switch. Flip the switch on the wall
and take the doorway that opens. It's the farmer! And he's hacking at the
ground with his plow for some sad reason (must be the food they are being
fed). Exit the farmer's room and take the northwest wall doorway.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, the room's northwest wall is a giant
mirror. The only way you can see the 2 zombies you must kill is by keeping
your eye on the mirror. BEFORE you beat them however, push against the
center area of the mirror and you'll find a secret doorway. Inside is a
chest with a pendant. Exit the room and complete the Beat Them! task. Take
the doorway that opens once you kill the zombies.
In this next room are 2 silver balls, a button on the wall, and a poor
villager trapped inside a pen. Setting him free is easy. The ball CLOSEST
to the button (BALL 1) should be pushed southeast. It will hit the wall.
Now push it northeast - it will hit the small obstacle on the floor and stop.
Now push the OTHER ball (BALL 2) southeast. It will hit the same obstacle.
Now push BALL 2 southwest. It will hit BALL 1. Now manually and continually
push BALL 2 against BALL 1 until BALL 2 is lined up with the button on the
wall. Push BALL 2 into the button. Talk to the villager. He wants you to
take him with you to rescue his wife, but is told no by David. =) Take the
other doorway into the next area.
Yay! </sarcasm> More ice and spikes. Simply navigate your way through the
ice and over the spikes to the next doorway. Watch out for the fire sponge
juniors.
In this next room is a chest containing the CREST. Grab the CREST. If you
want you can now shop at the Guildsmen shop. Now it's time to travel back.
Waaaay back to the BIG SPIKE ROOM (the room I told you to memorize it's
location). Once you are at the BIG SPIKE ROOM heal up at the fountain. Now
take the only southeast wall doorway from the BIG SPIKE ROOM. (Yes, back
into the Outer Ring of the B4 floor). Kill or avoid the fireball banshees
and travel west. Take the doorway at the end of the winding path. In the
next room take the first doorway you see (it will be on the northeast wall).
Inside are 2 mages standing guard by a barred door. Now that you have the
CREST you can speak to the guards. Talking to the left guard will open the
door (Please proceed).
You'll find yourself on yet another wonderful ice floor with spikes. There
is also a harmful laser pillar in the room. Avoid the lasers to the best of
your ability and manuever your way down the ice path and take the southeast
wall doorway. Inside is a gold bag sitting on top of a mini-mountain. The
only way to get to the top is to hop on the moving platform. The only thing
that can be difficult about this is that the platform moves in response to
David's movements. If you move up, it moves down, if you move left, it moves
right (and vice versa). The easiest solution - As soon as you enter the room
make David turn left (his left) and you'll find yourself walking straight
towards the platform. As soon as the platform is in David's range, make
David jump AND at the top of his jump, move him straight forward. He'll
land on the platform. From the platform jump to the gold (900 gold! Wow!).
Exit the room. You're back in the ice room. Take the only other doorway you
haven't taken it (The northeast wall doorway).
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, your opponents should be very familiar.
It's 4 Davids and a Summoner! You can either kill all 4 Davids and then kill
the Summoner, or you can just kill the Summoner (which will de-summon the
Davids). Once you have defeated them, take the southwest wall doorway. You
have just rescued another villager! Exit this room back to the Beat Them!
room. Take the northeast wall doorway.
Don't move about carelessly in this room. Notice the statues in this room?
See how they point? If you cross the line their hand is drawing, your
directional pad will get inversed. Up will become down, left will become
right (vice versa). To avoid this from happening, simply do not cross any
statue's hand point line. First take the doorway on the southeast wall. Then
take the doorway on the northwest wall.
o-----------------------o
| Answer the Riddle! |
o-----------------------o
Before you answer this riddle, take the open doorway to
your right. In this next room kill the fire sponge junior, then take a
moment to observe the floor. Notice the arrows pointing? Walk directly
down the middle of the arrow to it's point. You will be transported to
another room. In this room is a treasure chest containing DRAGON (armor)
Equip and exit. Exit this arrow room back to the Answer the Riddle! room.
It's another game of 'Simon'. The 4 pillars will light up in a certain order,
playing a certain tune of notes. Once they finish you have to repeat the
notes by striking the appropriate pillars. This particular puzzle will give
you a total of 9 notes before opening the doorway. Once you finish take the
door.
When you enter you'll see a Necromancer talking to 3 mages about a traitor
they must execute. As soon as he finishes talking he'll disappear and the
3 mages will attack. Kill the 3 mages (same way as always) and then speak
to the traitor. He will give you some information about Ramiah and then open
the door to the next room. Take it.
O===========================================================================O
| Giant Scorpion Boss (B4) (YYX) |
O===========================================================================O
This boss is pretty easy. He walks from side to side often. His pinchers
open and close in front of his face. His tail whips around behind him and
occasionally shoots fireballs or tries to sting you.
To hurt him you must stab his head when the scorpion pinchers are spread
apart. Be careful not to still be in the area when the pinchers close back
in to protect the face.
The scorpion uses the following attacks:
o-----------------------o
| Wall Slam |
o-----------------------o
The scorpion's pinchers will freeze in place and about 3 seconds
later the Scorpion will dash forward. If you are still in front
of him he will bash you into the wall and damage you. The best
way to avoid this is if you see his pinchers freeze, get out
from in front of the scorpion. Get to the side.
o-----------------------o
| Insta-Wall Slam |
o-----------------------o
Every other pincher cycle the scorpion will try to slam you
into the wall without a warning.
o-----------------------o
| Fireballs |
o-----------------------o
The scorpions tail occasionally casts multiple fireballs. They
don't hurt too bad, but if the computer decides to be cheesy and
spam this move, it could become a pain.
o-----------------------o
| Pinchers |
o-----------------------o
The pinchers are constantly closing and opening in front of the
face. You have to be between the pinchers to strike the face, so
the pinchers is what will damage you the most. Your goal is to
be up on the face striking it when the pinchers are open, and
when the pinchers start to close, get out of the face area so
you wont get hurt. As soon as the pinchers open back up, move
back in.
My main recommendation is that when the pinchers close in and you are
forced to move away from the face - Also move away from the scorpions
front side. He can do surprise dashes that leave no warning signs.
Once you defeat the scorpion David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword Swinging
technique (which magically replenishes David's health) and the doorway to
the next area will open. Take it.

| Floor 4 Continued (YYY) |
O===========================================================================O
In this room are 3 pathetic zombies and a chest containing KEY 4. Grab the
key and exit. It's time to do a lot of backtracking. From treasure room
-to- scorpion room -to- traitor room -to- Answer the Riddle! room -to-
Pointing statues room -to- 4 David's room -to- ice floor room -to- Mage guard
room. Here's where you need to be - the room with 2 mages guarding the door
you just came from. Take the southwest door and you'll find yourself back in
the Outer Ring of B4. Head west (left) and take the northwest doorway you
find at the end. In the room with 2 zombies take the first doorway you see.
It should be straight ahead of David.
In this room you'll find a locked door, and an open doorway. Go in the open
doorway. It is a Save Point room. Save your game. In fact, it would BEHOOVE
you to save your game. Heal your character to full life. Use water magic
(Heal spell) if neccessary. When your life is full and your game is saved,
unlock the door with KEY 4 and enter.
In this room is another XOXO puzzle, however this time the letters are
intertwined. Hitting one letter affects the letters around it in a + sign
pattern.
OXO
XOX
OXO
However the solution to the puzzle is the same as the last. Simply jump
on the original 4 X's. To break it down even more, jump in the following
spots.
OXO
XOX (jump on the spots labelled with an X)
OXO
If you hit the right letters, the 4th jump will solve the puzzle and the
door will open. Take it.
O===========================================================================O
| Trial by Fire! (YYZ) |
O===========================================================================O
Boy, this room sure did freak me out the first time I played this game.
Inside the room are 4 pillars and a sign. The sign reads "Trial by fire!"
and after you are finished reading it a trap will be set off. If you don't
read the sign after about 3 seconds a voice will shout out "Trial by fire!"
and the trap will set off anyways.
The trap sucks. It can be very deadly. Fireballs from every direction will
start to endlessly fly at you. Keep a constant eye on your health and do
your best to survive the onslaught. After awhile the fireballs will stop and
the door to the next area will open. If you are still alive you passed
your Trial by fire. =)
Now a way to MINIMIZE damage in the Trial by fire! room is to as soon as you
enter the room QUICKLY QUICKLY QUICKLY move towards the sign, jump on top
of the sign, and then jump on top of the nearby pillar and begin to jump
nonstop. After 3 seconds the trap will set itself off. You will avoid many
fireballs with your jumping this way. Every now and then you'll still be
struck by a fireball and possibly knocked off the pillar, but you can
manuever yourself right back onto the pillar and keep jumping. This is the
best way to minimize your damage. I only get hit like 4-8 times this way.
O===========================================================================O
| Extra Crispy Floor 4 (After Trial by Fire) (YZ0) |
O===========================================================================O
Now that you are well-done you'll find yourself in another statue-pointing
room. Navigate around the statues and ignore the skeletons (or kill with
Turn Undead spell - Elements A,E,W) and take the southern most room on
the southwest wall. It's a healing fountain room, and since we just came
from a Trial by fire!, I think we could all use a little more health. Heal
up and then go back into the statue room. Now take the other southwest
wall room. It leads to a Beat Them! room.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room there are 3 worms. Too easy. Kill them
and move into the next room. I do believe this is the first circling
fire ring you've come accross so far in this game. Jump up onto the nearby
floating platform, from there jump to the top of the yellow mountain,
and from there jump to the top of the yellow pillar. While on the yellow
pillar, face the fire ring and begin swinging your sword. When you hit
a fireball with your sword you will destroy it. Destroy all of the fireballs
to make the ring disappear. Once the ring is gone you can grab the chest
(Maximum Life) in the center.
NOTE: If you jump through the fireball ring and grab the chest, it will
instantly banish the fireball ring. I'm just not a good acrobat. Maybe you
are though... Showoff.
Exit the treasure room, and exit the Beat Them! room back to the Statue
pointing room. Take the last door left for us to choose, the door on the
northwest wall.
As soon as you enter this room you will hear a bomb ticking. Waaaaaay on
the other side of the room is an already ticking bomb. You have to push
this bomb to the locked door you saw on your way towards the bomb. It will
be a close call, but it is do-able. It may probably take you two tries. In
fact, I usually just 'take one for the team' and end up getting blown up
with the bomb to get the door open.
O===========================================================================O
| Invincible Armor Boss - Light Crusader (B4) (YZ1) |
O===========================================================================O
'Welcome courageous one! You are here after overcoming many difficulties.
But I wish to put you to the test once more to see if you are worthy of
wielding Light Crusader'
The boss is... Floating Armor? Or so it seems. Every attack you attempt on
the armor will be in vain. You cannot damage the armor in any way. Not with
your sword, not with jump attacks, and not with magic. So how do you kill
it? You don't. Weren't you listening?
The armor has several attacks, but it all comes down to one thing. He cuts
you with his sword. Either the gloves or the sword will shoot out at you.
If it's the sword, he's trying to stab you. If it's the gloves, he's trying
to grab you and pull you over to him.
If you very carefully observe the ground around the area of the armor, you
may notice that there is a shadow following the armor around. There is
some type of invisible person controlling the armor. Strike at this
shadowed area of the floor and you will harm whatever or whoever that is
controlling the armor. Repeat this until the armor is destroyed.
'Well done! You are truly worthy of using Light Crusader's power! You must
gain 8 wizards' power to vanquish Ramiah.'
The first time I played this game, it took me a long time to figure out how
to beat him because I was playing during the afternoon and there was a huge
sun glare on the screen, so I couldn't really see the shadow following the
armor.
Once the armor has been defeated, David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword
Swinging technique (which magically replenishes David's health) and you will
obtain LIGHT CRUSADER (weapon) Equip it and enter the newly opened doorway.
It will lead to a connecting room that leads to a room with the stairs to B5.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 5 (YZ2) |
O===========================================================================O
'Enter the realms of your mind's chaos! I've prepared eight worlds for you!
Wander throughout eternity!'
I love floor 5. Why? Because it's simple. The design for floor 5 is:
[ST]
[SP][CR][TR]
[HF]
ST = Stairs to B4
SP = Save Point
HF = Healing Fountain
TR = Teleport Room
CR = Crystal
Now to explain the Crystal. The crystal is a gateway to 8 different
mini-worlds. You have to travel into each of the 8 mini-worlds and rescue
a wizard from them. To travel to the world, simply touch the crystal.
What are the worlds you ask? I shall list them.
1. DARKNESS WORLD
2. NINJA WORLD
3. COWBOY WORLD
4. LAMP/ZOMBIE WORLD
5. FUTURE WORLD
6. ICE WORLD
7. ARMY 1 WORLD
8. ARMY 2 WORLD
Now the next (and very important) question to ask is "How do I choose which
world I'm going to when I touch the crystal?"
If you'll notice the Crystal's shape, you'll see that at the top of the
crystal it has a jagged end. This jagged end of the Crystal serves as
a Pointer. Depending on WHICH gargoyle statue the crystal is pointing
at will determine which world you go to. There are 8 gargoyle statues,
I'll list which gargoyle goes to which world by their design.
The #'s represent the above world list.
5 *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
6 4 | 1. DARKNESS WORLD 5. FUTURE WORLD |
7 3 | 2. NINJA WORLD 6. ICE WORLD |
8 2 | 3. COWBOY WORLD 7. ARMY 1 WORLD |
1 | 4. LAMP/ZOMBIE WORLD 8. ARMY 2 WORLD |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
So if you wanted to go to the Darkness world, simply wait till the Crystal
was pointing directly south and then enter the crystal. Now for a walkthrough
of each world, in numerical order.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
| 1--DARKNESS WORLD--1 |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
From the teleport room, take the northwest doorway (the only doorway). In
this room you'll see 4 spinning crystals. Notice that only 1 crystal is
spinning counter-clockwise. Strike the other 3 crystals to make them spin
counter-clockwise and the door will open.
Be careful in this next room. There are enemies that are completely cloaked
in a darkness. You don't have to beat them to proceed, but you should be
aware that they ARE there and they CAN hurt you. The next room has a harmful
laser pillar. Simply walk counter-clockwise with the lasers to avoid getting
hit at the start. Head down to the other end of the room and you'll see a
switch up on the wall. Jump up and strike the switch with your sword. The
door will open. Moving on.
This next room has a laser pillar (harmless), a button, and a treasure chest
out of reach. Push the laser pillar against the button to make the chest
fall. Inside are IRON GLOVES (gloves) Equip them and move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, there are 4 goblins shrouded in darkness.
The easiest way to beat them is to put on the COSTUME and then smack them
to death with indirect blows (reference SPEECH section of FAQ for more
information). Defeat all 4 shrouded goblins and proceed onward.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
This Beat Them! room wont be so easy. It's 3 Shield Guards
shrouded in darkness. I suggest casting the Lightning spell to defeat
them (Elements A,E). They are the boss of the DARKNESS world. A wizard
will appear when you have won and take you back to the Crystal room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
| 2--NINJA WORLD--2 |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
This one's kinda fun. Take the first doorway given to you (northeast wall).
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
You get to fight 4 ninjas in this Beat Them! room. They are
practically a clone of the mages in previous floors. They teleport around
throwing stars at you. Just jump around stabbing at them till they are all
dead. Once they are dead a doorway will open, take it. You are in a
connecting room. Take the next doorway presented to you. It's another
awesome fireball ring. Hop on the lowest platform, from there jump to
the lowest boxpile, to the medium boxpile, to the highest boxpile, to
the nearby floating platform. This time it will be easier to jump directly
to the chest to make the fireball ring disappear. The ring is harder to
chop because of the range. Either way get the chest (Maximum Life) and
then proceed onward.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
You would think that when a game shouts "Beat them!" at you,
that the game actually has more than just 2 ninjas to stop you. Instead
they have just 2 ninjas. Dispose of them quickly and be on your merry way
to the next room. A connecting room - take the next doorway.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
Now THIS is a Beat Them! room. There are 6 ninjas. This can get
quite chaotic. Just jump around stabbing them till they are all dead.
You'll rescue the wizard and be teleported back to the Crystal room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
| 3--COWBOY WORLD--3 |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Well if there's one thing you CAN'T say about Light Crusader, it's this:
"There is no cow level." There's a lot of cows in this game. Take the only
doorway presented to you. There's a barrel, a flame shooting pillar, and
the gate. But what's this fourth object? Why it's a switch. Flip the switch
and the flame pillar will turn off. Blow up the door and proceed. =)
Now there's another barrel, another gate, but this time 3 flame pillars...
along with 3 switches. Flip all 3 switches to turn them all off. Detonate
the door and move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, you'll have to fight 4 cowboys.
Basically they are like the crossbow goblins, except they don't walk.
Just don't stop moving and take them out, 1 by 1. It's really easy. Once
they are defeated the door will open. Proceed.
4 flame pillars surround and trap a barrel. The goal of this room is to push
the barrel out of the pillar-barrier and against the door. Manuever David
inside the 4 pillars when they are not blowing fire. Time it right and push
the barrel out against the door when the flames are off. Detonate the barrel
and move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room, you have to take out 3 cowboys. There
are also 3 barrels to play with. A funny thing that usually happens with
me is one of the cowboys usually shoots the barrel right when I walk in,
exploding and hurting himself.
Now you're at the boss of the COWBOY WORLD, an oversized worm thingy. It
tries to bounce onto your head but if you keep moving it just ends up
looking like a retarded worm. It can also fly. I think this worm is related
to the Tremors worm. In order to hurt this worm you have to strike it's
head (The ball leading the rest of balls). Keep an eye on your health and
take him out. Once he is defeated you will have rescued another wizard and
will be teleported back to the Crystal room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
|4--LAMP/ZOMBIE WORLD--4|
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
This world is super easy. Take the first doorway presented to you.
o-----------------------o
| Answer the Riddle! |

In all of the Answer the Riddle puzzles of this world,
the answer is to strike the lamp that lit up LAST. Answer appropriately and

o-----------------------o
Same solution as the last. Beefed up from 4 to 6 lamp
posts.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
6 zombies. NOW we're talking. The easiest way to defeat them is
to put David into a corner, have him face the zombies and then start
swinging. Every time you hit a zombie they *usually* back off for a
moment. Thus you can just keep beating them back until they all die. They
are the boss of this world. After that the wizard will be freed and you'll
find yourself back in the Crystal room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
| 5--FUTURE WORLD--5 |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
I love the gravity feature in this world. Proceed on through the doorway.
This first room contains 3 spheres that shoot lasers at you. This room also
has a device that affects gravity. There are 4 settings: 10G (heavy),
1G (normal), .6G(lightest), .5G(light). This may seem confusing how .6G
is lighter than .5G, and I believe it is a mistake on the game designer's
side. I notice that on .6G I can jump clear accross the entire room and
on .5G I can make it about 90% of the way. I think they may have gotten
those 2 mixed up. For fun I like to leave the gravity on .6G and just jump
around. Way fun. Flip the switch to proceed onward though.
In this next room is a gravity machine on a mountain, and a harmful laser
pillar on another mountain. This room can be annoying. The harmful laser
pillar is constantly shooting the gravity machine with it's 4 lasers,
constantly changing the gravity settings, you have to get to the top of
the mountain the pillar is on and push it northwest off the mountain.
Once the pillar is off the mountain, use the pillar as a stepping stool.
Step on it, and then jump for the switch on the wall. Flip the switch to
open the door to the next area. Proceed.
Connecting room - nothing to see here.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
This little robot thing can be tough. it's a giant diamond
surrounded by 4 mini-diamonds. Your goal is to destroy the large diamond
in the center, but getting the 4 mini diamonds off it can be tough. Start
hacking at the center of the diamonds and eventually they will disperse.
Now's your chance to do major damage to the large diamond. I find that
David does more damage when he is SOUTH of the large diamond. Destroy the
large diamond and proceed onward.
***NOTE***
The giant diamond boss previously mentioned has a chance of dropping the
Geddon armor.
**********
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
This room has 4 laser shooting spheres. Kill them to proceed
onward.
Now you are at the boss of the FUTURE WORLD. I think this guy is ANNOYING.
It's a giant red blob. Inside the red blob is a little core. Your goal is
to destroy the core inside the red blob. To do that you have to hack and
slash at the red blob until it disperses into like 10 little red blobs.
Then you'll see the Core just floating around. Attack it as much as you
can. I find David does more damage when he hits it from the SOUTH. Keep an
eye on your health and destroy the core. When you do you will free a wizard
and find yourself back in the Crystal room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
| 6--ICE WORLD--6 |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
This world surprises me. It's an ice world - but I don't hate it's fricking
guts like I do all other ice floor places. Take the first doorway presented
to you. In this room you'll see 3 silver balls, 2 blue pillars, 2 gray
ice-pillars, and a button on the wall. The button on the wall must be
mashed and held down by a ball to hold the door open so you can proceed.
The silver ball closest to the blue pillars shall be called BALL 1, the
silver ball closest to the locked door shall be called BALL 2, and the
last silver ball (the one closest to the button) shall be called BALL 3.
To solve this puzzle do the following. WITHOUT HITTING BALL 3, shatter the
ice pillars to the right of BALL 3. Push BALL 3 northeast. It should hit
the wall. Now push BALL 1 northwest. It should hit the other ice pillar.
Now hit BALL 1 northeast. It should pile up onto BALL 3. Now hit BALL 2
southeast. It should hit a blue pillar. Now kick BALL 2 southwest, it should
hit the other blue pillar. Now kick BALL 2 northwest. It should hit the
ice pillar. Now kick BALL 2 northeast. It should pile up against the other
2 balls. Now finish this by kicking BALL 2 northwest into the button. Take
the opened doorway.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
3 pathetic worms. Take them out and then proceed onward.
This next room is somewhat tricky. As soon as you enter you'll notice 4
floating platforms just float straight up and never come down. The goal of
this room is to quickly run in and run to the very end platform, jump on it,
and then continue to jump onto the next platform until you reach the top,
where you will find a switch. This really is just testing your jumping
skills. Once you reach the top flip the switch and then enter the next room.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
You have to destroy the four elements! This room is really cool.
The elements are easy, and best of all - when you kill them they drop a
crapload of their element type. This is the best place to max out your
elements. Something weird - Once my Fire element dropped Earth, Water, and
lots of Fire. Odd eh? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
A connecting room is the next room. It also has a Healing Fountain. Heal up
and head into the next room.
The boss of ICE WORLD. The dragon from B1, but this time you must fight him
on ice. The same rules apply for the first time you fought him. Take him out,
he should be much easier now that you have better armor, gloves, and weapon.
Once the dragon is defeated a wizard will appear and teleport you back to the
crystal room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
| 7--ARMY 1 WORLD--7 |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
This place's boss is very tough. I recommend you play this one last.
Take the first door presented to you.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
It's 2 soldiers. Their rifle can hurt if you keep getting shot, so
I recommend you keep moving to prevent this. They die pretty easy so long as
you keep moving. Kill them both and then proceed on. A connecting room is
next. Simply move on. The next room has 2 mortars. I strongly suggest you
not get hit by Mortars. They do an insane amount of damage. The most I've
ever seen is an 84 (ouch). However, Charkan told me he has been hit by
a mortar for 164 damage (Yeeeeeouch). You can see the shadow of the
falling bomb so you can always just move. Destroy the mortars (or don't)
and then move on to the next room.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
It's 1 soldier and 2 mortars. I suggest you destroy the mortars
first as they are the bigger threat. Once they are destroyed/killed the
door will open. Move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
It's 4 mortars. So long as you keep moving this will be easy.
Destroy the mortars and then move on. The boss is up ahead, so heal up.
THE TANK! This is a tough boss. Probably the toughest boss on FLOOR 5. Keep
a constant eye on your health. In order to hurt this tank you have to be
stabbing the rotating cannon's base. To do that you have to be standing on
top of the tank. The easiest way to get on the tank is to press up against
the wheel/tracks and then do a jump slash. David usually can get up top this
way. Then start stabbing the cannon's base like crazy. This tank has like 80
different ways to kill you:
FLAME THROWER - Flames will shoot out at David, causing a constant damage
rate of about 5.
MISSLES - The tank launches heat-seeking missles that lock on and follow
David
COMBINATION - The above 2 mixed in interesting ways... =)
I find that I have to use 2 steaks in order to survive this fight. I suggest
bringing about 5 or so food products.
Once you defeat the tank you will rescue a wizard and find yourself standing
in the Crystal room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
| 8--ARMY 2 WORLD--8 |
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Take the only doorway presented to you.
In this room are 3 mortars and 1 soldier. Kill them (or don't) and then move
onward.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
4 soldiers. Keep moving and they wont be able to shoot you. Kill
all 4 of them and then proceed onward. The next room is a connecting room.
It has a Healing Fountain in it. Heal up and then proceed to the next room.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
More like Beat It! There's just 1 weird robot thing in this room.
It walks really funny. It tries to hurt you by launching missles that follow
David. The best way to prevent this is to do circles around him right up
against him. He'll spend all his time just running in circles trying to face
you. To hurt him you have to stab the head of the robot dead on in the
front. With Light Crusader equipped you do serious damage to this little
robot.
Charkan supplied me with the quickest and easiest way to defeat this robot.
As soon as you walk in the room, cast spell Freeze (Elements A,W) on him.
This causes the robot to glitch and not raise his head to an elevated level
when you fight him, thus allowing you to quickly dispatch him without the
annoyance of having to jump all the time.
Also, you can use the freeze spell over and over to prevent the robot from
spamming his missles.
This robot has the chance of dropping the armor Geddon.
Thanks, Charkan!
Once it is defeated head on into the next room.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
This is the boss of this world. Only 4 soldiers again. The only
thing that could make this harder is the fact that you have less manuevering
room. Defeat them and you will free the wizard and find yourself back in the
Crystal room.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 5 Boss (After 8 Wizards Rescued) (YZ3) |
O===========================================================================O
To get to the boss of Floor 5, you must first rescue all 8 wizards. Once you
have accomplished this, speak to one of the wizards in the Crystal room,
they will all team up to cast a spell that opens a portal to the Necromancer.
Enter it to face him.
This guy has some pretty simple attacks:
o-----------------------o
| Circling Spike-Balls |
o-----------------------o
At the beginning, there will be periods where he has
2 little spike balls that circle him. If you
touch these balls you will get hurt. However, this
is the best time to attack the Necromancer, he is
mostly wide open. He just wont sit still! HOWEVER,
when his life is dangerously low, he will have 3
little spike balls that circle him. You still have to
attack him however you can.
o-----------------------------o
|50 Rock Shield = 50 Fireballs|
o-----------------------------o
The Necromancer will float high out of reach,
when he comes back down he'll be surrounded
by about 15 or so rocks. He is invincible and
can't be hurt at this time. He'll fly back up
into the air. Prepare to dodge. The rocks
that were surrounding him will turn into
fireballs and fly towards David. Dodge as
many as you can. (Keep moving)
o-----------------------o
| Wind Slash |
o-----------------------o
When his life gets about to 25% he'll start throwing little
slashes of wind at you. They don't hurt very much, and they can
be reflected too with your sword. An annoying thing about this
is that he'll dash from side to side of the room, so it's
somewhat difficult to hit him.
When the Necromancer is defeated, David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword
Swinging technique (which magically replenishes David's health) and then
he'll be teleported BACK to the Crystal room.
Notice now that the stairs to B6 (The final floor) are revealed
(A gargoyle statue is moved aside). Save your game and head down to B6.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 6 (YZ4) |
O===========================================================================O
Before we begin FLOOR 6, I would advise that you pay a visit to the castle.
Go to the kitchen and you'll notice the cook is gone. Now you can grab the
LADLE off of the table. The LADLE will cure you of poison if you are standing
in water when you use it. Once you've gotten the ladle take the teleporter
back to B5. Now while you are on B5 revisit the DARKNESS WORLD (Crystal
pointing DOWN). Take the first doorway given to you. Back in the rotating
Crystals room, you'll notice that NOW there is a magical doorway open. Take
this doorway.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this Beat Them! room are 3 shield guards... but if you haven't
noticed, they aren't moving. Press the button on the wall. The guards will
start moving. Defeat them and a chest will drop from the roof. Inside it is
CRYSTAL (weapon). Too bad we have Light Crusader, yes? Now exit DARKNESS
WORLD and take the stairs down to B6.
From the stairs, take the southeast doorway. You'll find a mage and a
villager. Defeat the mage to rescue the villager. Then go back to the stairs
and take the other doorway. In here you'll find 2 balls, 2 orange tiles, and
2 locked doors. You wont be able to open both doors at the same time, so
first we are going to take the northeast wall doorway. Here's how to solve
the ball puzzle.
We shall call the larger brown ball BALL 1, and the small silver ball BALL 2.
Kick BALL 1 southeast. It should hit the wall. Kick it southwest, it should
hit the boxes and stop. Now kick BALL 2 southeast. It should hit the wall in
the same spot BALL 1 once did. Now jump on top of the boxes by BALL 1
and kick BALL 1 northeast towards BALL 2. It should end up hitting BALL 2.
Now use BALL 1 to push BALL 2. Once BALL 2 is lined up with the narrow
passage between the boxes, kick BALL 2 southeast. It will stop between the
two orange tiles. To open the northeast doorway, kick BALL 2 northeast.
To open the southeast doorway, kick BALL 2 southwest. Take the northeast
doorway first.
Inside is a mage and a villager. Save the villager by defeating the mage.
Exit back to the ball puzzle room. Re-solve the puzzle but this time
kick BALL 2 on to the southwest orange tile. The southeast doorway will
open now. Take it. You are now in a connecting room. Take the southwest
doorway.
You'll find yourself in a room with strong winds and a barrel. The goal of
this room is to detonate the barrel as it's being blown by the gate. As
soon as you enter the room jump over the obstacle to be standing beside the
barrel. Face the wall and swing your sword 9 times (for timing) and then
push the barrel southwest. The wind should carry the barrel slowly to the
next set of crates. Move David over to the barrel again. Wait till the wind
is gone and then adjust David to be ready to push the barrel southwest again.
This next part is all about timing. Your goal is to light the barrel while
it's sitting beside you, then when the timer hits 1, push the barrel off
the boxes and the wind will carry it to the door, where it will detonate and
open the door. The best way I've found to do this is to wait till the wind
completely stops, then strike the barrel, as soon as you see the number 1
over the barrel, push it.
If at any time you fail, simply take the southeast wall doorway. This will
loop you back around to the top of the hallway. Repeat until successful.
Once you've blown the door open proceed onward. You'll find yourself in
another connecting hallway. Just take the door at the end. In this room is
a silver ball, 2 pillars, 2 orange tiles, and 2 barred gates. The first gate
we are going to take is the northwest doorway. To open the northwest doorway
kick the ball southwest, it will hit the pillar. Now kick the ball southeast.
It will hit the proper orange tile. Proceed.
This room annoys me. There is a treasure chest up high on boxes. To reach it
you must jump from ball to moving platform (reflex) to standard floating
platform. The easiest way I see to do this is as soon as you enter the room,
walk straight towards the ball. Jump on top of the ball, now face the
platform that only moves when you do. Wait for the standard platform to move
out from over your head, then jump towards the platform that moves only when
you do. It should dash towards you and you'll land on top of it. Now you
QUICKLY have to jump straight up and land on the other platform, otherwise
it will push you off. From this platform, jump to the treasure. You get the
HOLY SWORD (weapon). This is a handy weapon, it sometimes casts the spell
"Turn Undead" (Elements A,E,W). Once you've gotten the sword go back to the
ball puzzle room.
To enter the northeast doorway, kick the ball northeast. It will hit the
pillar. Now kick it southeast. It will land on the appropriate orange tile.
Enter the doorway.
You'll notice in this room that there is a path of tiles above you connecting
two doorways. You'll be there sooner or later, for now just take the only
doorway you can. In this next room walk straight and take the first doorway
you see. It's a save point. Now go back to the hallway and take the first
turn and then enter the first southeast doorway you see. There's a villager
inside. Speak to him then exit back to the hallway. Now continue down the
path and take the very next doorway you see (northeast wall). It's yet
another villager. Speak to her and then exit back to the hallway. Travel
southeast and take the only doorway that's left.
You'll find another winding hallway. Once again the game taunts you with
floating platform bridges and a treasure chest out of reach. Don't worry,
we'll come back to those. Take the only doorway you can. It's a teleport
room. Learn the teleport point and then travel onward.
In this ball puzzle room, you'll see that there is a door on the northwest
wall. Taking it will do no good. It's a dead end. We have to solve the puzzle
to get over this mountain wall. To solve this puzzle I shall call the giant
brown ball BALL 1, and the small silver ball BALL 2. The first thing you
should do is kick BALL 2 northwest. It will hit the obstacle and be between
the platform and the orange tile. Now kick BALL 1 southwest. It will hit the
wall. Now carefully manuever yourself between BALL 1 and the wall and kick
BALL 1 northwest. It will hit the obstacle. Now go stand on the platform and
kick BALL 2 southwest. It will be stopped by BALL 1 conveniently on the
orange tile. Leap over to the other side.
Once you are on the other side of the mountain wall, take the southeast
doorway. Travel down the connecting hallway. You'll find yourself in a room
with 3 worms. Kill the worms (or don't) and take either of the 2 doorways
on the south wall. It's the old man from Green Row. Talk to him and then
exit back to the hallway. Now take the northwest doorway. It's the treasure
chest! I told you we'd be back to there. Inside is a SILVER KEY. Once you
have the key, travel back to the ball puzzle room.
Now take the northeast doorway. Inside this room are 2 banshees, a locked
gate, and an open doorway. Use the SILVER KEY to unlock the gate and then
enter. Travel down the hallway into the next room. There is a villager there
who asks for water, say Yes and then he'll tell you 'The mirror! There's
a pathway in the mirror!'. Right now you should have no clue of just what
he's talking about. Exit back to the banshee room.
Kill the banshees (or don't) and then take the northwest doorway. You'll
find yourself in a room with a giant mirror. Take the southwest doorway.
It's that dead end I warned you about earlier. Go back to the mirror room.
Now if you press against the mirror you'll find that near the northeastern
side of the mirror there is a secret doorway. Take it.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
It's a mage on steroids. He's really annoying but it's nothing
you haven't faced before. Take him out in the same way you've taken out the
other 50 billion and then proceed onward.
This next room has 3 Shield Guards, and a barrier. There are two ways to
destroy the barrier. The easy way is to simply cast Earthquake
(Elements A,E,W) and the barrier will shatter! Charkan showed me this
trick. Thanks, Charkan!
The other way is to kill a specific shield guard. It's the shield guard
who starts out closest to the northwest wall. Once he dies the barrier
will be destroyed. Move onward to the next room. You'll find yourself in
a connecting room. Take the next doorway at the end.
Why look! You're on top of the platform bridge. Cross with caution. In here
you'll find our beloved Chef, beating the crap out of a goblin with her
frying pan. She'll tell you that the wizard's guild has kidnapped the
Princess. Take the northwest doorway (not the one you came from). In this
room is a chest containing the final Maximum Life. Exit back to the Chef
room. Take the southwest doorway. It's a healing fountain room. Heal up and
exit back to the Chef room. Take the nearby southeast doorway. It's
a save point room. Save your game. Now take the doorway on the southeast
wall near the Chef.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this room, there are 2 fire sponge juniors. It's too easy.
Defeat them and move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
This Beat Them! room is a little more old school-ish. They have
3 goblins like the good old B1 use to. Defeat the 3 goblins and then move on.
O===========================================================================O
| The Fat Fairy Boss (B6) (YZ5) |
O===========================================================================O
I really didn't know what else to call this guy. This little guy isn't a
matter of being tough, but rather a matter of being annoying. Here are his
moves:
o-----------------------o
| Fire-Circle |
o-----------------------o
He'll start spewing fire out of his mouth and then spinning in
a circle. The fire does heavy damage but it's easy to avoid.
o-----------------------o
| Fall On You |
o-----------------------o
Yes, he'll fly up into the air and when he comes down he'll try
to land on you.
o-----------------------o
| Healing |
o-----------------------o
This is what makes this guy annoying. He'll throw out a white
pyramid that circles him. During this time DO NOT STRIKE HIM OR
THE PYRAMID. Any damage done to him during this time will replenish
his health. Just wait for the pyramid to disappear and then
continue your attacks.
o-----------------------o
| Fireball |
o-----------------------o
He can also throw multiple tiny fireballs at David at a very rapid
rate. Just avoid them by constant movement.
Once he is defeated David will do his I-Know-Kung-Fu Sword Swinging technique
(which magically replenishes David's health) and the doorway to the next room
will be opened.
O===========================================================================O
| Floor 6 Continued (After Fairy Boss) (YZ6) |
O===========================================================================O
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
What a rest break eh? You just fought a boss and now have to
Beat Them! It's 2 mages on steroids and they are very annoying. Defeat them
like you always do and move on to the next room.
It's the Princess! Speak to her and she will explain WHY Bloodroke hates
King Weedan. When she's finished speaking the door will open. Take it.
In this room is a barrel, 2 silver balls, 2 platforms, and 3 orange tiles.
The goal of this room is to get one of the silver balls OVER the mountain
and onto the orange tile on the other side to open the blocked doorway.
This room is difficult because you have very little room to manuever between
the balls and it's too easy to accidentally kick a ball in the wrong
direction. To explain this I shall call the silver ball closest to David's
doorway BALL 1, and the other ball BALL 2.
Very, very carefully, push the barrel northwest until it is lined up with
the orange tile. Now nudge the barrel slightly northeast until it is also
lined up with BALL 1. Now very, very carefully, kick BALL 1 northwest. It
will hit the barrel and stop. Now kick BALL 2 northeast. It will hit the
mountain. Kick BALL 2 northwest. It will stop on the platform.
Now very, very carefully, push the barrel southwest until it is right
BESIDE (NOT ON) the upper orange tile. Now push the barrel southeast until
it is lined up with the lower orange tile. Now push the barrel northeast
until it is lined up with BALL 1. Now using the barrel push BALL 1 until
it is lined up with the upper orange tile. Now kick BALL 1 southwest onto
the orange tile. The platform will raise BALL 2. Now push the barrel onto
the lower orange tile. The other platform will lower.
Very, very carefully, kick BALL 2 northeast, then kick BALL 2 southeast.
BALL 2 will be on the second platform. Now detonate the barrel. The platform
will raise BALL 2. Now kick BALL 2 southeast. The door will open. Move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
I hate these mages. I really do. Defeat the 3 mages presented to
you and move onward. You're on the first platform bridge you saw ages ago
when you first entered B6. Cross it.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
This room gives you 3 skeletons to defeat. Skeletons cannot be
killed by the normal means of just stabbing them to death, no sir. There
is only one true way to kill the undead - Turn Undead spell. You can either
equip the spell (Elements A,E,W) or you can equip the HOLY SWORD you got
earlier, it randomly casts Turn Undead. Kill the skeletons and move on to
the next room.
This room is an easy barrel puzzle. I wonder why it's not located on the
first floor? There are 2 switches and 1 barrel. You have to push the barrel
from platform to platform, using the switches to change elevation and move
the barrel to the barred door. Push the barrel southeast to make it drop one
level, now push the barrel on top of the platform southeast. Put it on the
EDGE of the platform, do not push it up against the wall. Now flip the switch
to the left (the west switch). The platform will raise the barrel to the
2nd level. Now push the barrel northeast until it's up against the yellow
mountain. Now push the barrel northwest until it's on the EDGE of the 2nd
platform. Hit the right switch (the east switch). The second platform will
raise the barrel up to the top level of the mountain. Now push the barrel
off the yellow mountain and to the door. Strike the barrel to detonate and
proceed into the next room.
You'll find yourself in a mirror room. For now just travel on to the next
room. In this room are 12 treasure chests, all containing WINE. I find WINE
to be rather useless so I suggest you just go back to the mirror room. Now
press against the mirror and you'll find in the northern section there is a
secret doorway.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this room are 2 goblins, but before you beat them, travel into
the open doorway available to you. It's our old friend from floor B3. He'll
tell you the secret to defeating Ramiah. Exit that room back to the Beat
Them! room. Kill the 2 goblins and proceed onward.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this room are 3 white fireblobs. Sadly they are immune to
fire, so reflecting their own bullets back at them will not work. Kill them
however you see fit and then move on.
o-----------------------o
| Beat Them! |
o-----------------------o
In this room there are 3 Davids you must fight. However before you
fight them take the open doorway available to you. In this room there are
2 bombs, 3 switches, 3 platforms, and 1 light pillar. Push the light pillar
to the CENTER of the ground platform and then strike the pillar 3 times to
make it's light shoot the northwest wall. Now push each bomb NEXT TO an outer
layer switch (as in the left switch, or the right switch, NOT the center).
WITHOUT STRIKING THE SWITCHES, Strike the bomb by the left switch,
then strike the bomb by the right switch. Quickly move over to the slightly
elevated platform. The left bomb will go off, raising the first platform.
Jump from there to the second platform. The second bomb will go off,
raising the pillar's platform. The pillar will strike the third switch,
taking you to the treasure at the top. The chest contains PIDGE (armor).
Equip it and go back to the Beat Them! room. Take out the 3 Davids however
you see fit. Then take the doorway that opens.
You'll find yourself in a winding hallway. Take the first doorway you find
(northeast wall). It's a Healing Fountain room. Heal up and exit. Travel
down to the end of the winding hallway. There are 2 doorways. Take the
southeast one. It's a Save Point room. Save your game. Now take the final
doorway. Inside is the last boss.
O===========================================================================O
| Ramiah (Final Boss) (YZ7) |
O===========================================================================O
As you enter you'll see 4 platforms, Bloodroke, and a giant object holding
4 orbs. Bloodroke will sacrifice his life to bring Ramiah to life.
The first thing you should do when you get control of David is jump up onto
either the northern most LEFT platform or the northern most RIGHT platform.
You'll wind up standing beside the orbs that Ramiah holds in his hands.
Use indirect jump attacks to attack the orbs until they shatter. Shatter
all 4 orbs. Once all of the orbs have been shattered, jump onto Ramiah's leg.
Place David where one leg is on Ramiah's shorts and one leg is on Ramiah's
leg. Face the head of Ramiah and jump up and slash. You should end up doing
indirect attacks on Ramiah's head. This is how you beat Ramiah. Just keep
this up. Every now and then Ramiah will hit you with either Thunder,
a laser beam, or Judgement, but you should be able to dodge Thunder and the
laser beam from where you're standing. If he hits you with Judgement you
can just reposition yourself back on his leg when it's over and continue
to fight him.
Once he is defeated you will have beaten the game. Enjoy the ending!
o-----------o
|ANOTHER WAY|
o-----------o
I received a contribution from Kevin B. with an alternate way to defeat
Ramiah:
"Before fighting Ramiah, be sure that you have your Earth element maxed
out at 99. While fighting Ramiah, shatter the orbs as usual. Once
they're destroyed, however, don't bother attacking his face with sword
attacks. Simply jump up as usual, but cast Earthquake multiple times
each time that you jump. If you hadn't noticed before, if the spell
discharge from your hand happens to touch an enemy, it damages them.
You'll be able to do more damage in less time this way."
Thank you Kevin B. for your contribution!

| Fighting Tournament (B3) (YZ8) |
O===========================================================================O
This section of the FAQ is dedicated to the tournament you can compete in on
the B3 floor of the dungeon.
First we'll discuss the location of the tournament. Please take a moment to
look at your map of B3. It's mainly a center core, with 4 branches out of
the core. The section you want to examine is the core. The core is basically
a square with tiny blobs on the outside of it. The tournament room is the
EAST corner of the main core. I sketched a little ASCII art for you. Hope it
helps.
T = Tournament room.
/\ /\ /\

\/ \/ \/
Go to the Tournament room.
The tournament room is an excellent place for making money. You have be in
COSTUME to be able to join the fights though. So simply put on your COSTUME
before talking to the Goblin in the room. He'll ask you
'Shall we test our strength?' Say yes. You will be entered into the fight.
The screen will fade to black. When the screen fades back in you'll find
yourself standing in the ring with 3 other goblins. The sound "Beat them!"
will play and the fight begins. The goal is to defeat the other 3 goblins in
combat or to ring them out without you yourself dying or falling out of
the ring.
The best part about all of this is that it's super easy to cheat this game.
While the game is busy saying "Beat them!" simply have your goblin push off
the other 3 goblins out of the ring. By the time they are able to move only
1 goblin will be left and he's already halfway off the edge. =)
The reward is usually 9 bags of 20g, 180g per fight. Since a fight takes
about 20 seconds you can earn around 540g per minute.
O===========================================================================O
| Enemies (YZ9) |
O===========================================================================O
This is a short list of enemies and a good method on how to beat them.
-----Blobs-----
Blobs (regardless of their color) are pretty easy to beat. Most of them all
you need to do is walk up and slash them, then back off for a moment.
-----Goblins-----
Goblins are easy, but they hit really hard. The truly easiest way to kill a
goblin is to put on the COSTUME and then kill them with indirect blows. But
you wont have that option during the first 2 floors, so for those floors
just do some classic jump attacks. And don't sit still if they have a
crossbow.
-----Fire Sponges-----
There is a method to defeat these sponges without getting hurt. Approach
just BARELY within sword range of a sponge on either it's direct LEFT or
direct RIGHT. You will be able to hit him but he wont be able to hit you.
-----Lillipads-----
Killing lillipads are fun and easy. Use simple jump attacks. They are also
great to kill for 2 other reasons. They can drop 110g, or they can drop
Gold Armor (the best armor in the game). So I have a field day slaying
these poor critters.
-----Fire Banshees-----
These guys are easy to kill so long as you don't sit still. Their fire can
hurt, especially if you take multiple hits. Either cast Turn Undead spell
(Elements A,E,W) or stab and run until they die.
-----Worms-----
These creatures are pathetic. Easy to kill and they don't do much damage.
When you strike them they generally get knocked away from you. So you can
quite easily control where the worms are going.
-----Shield Guards-----
I hated these guys because they blocked way too much. The easiest way I've
found to kill them is to simply use the Thunder spell (Elements A,E) on
them from a distance. It usually hits a group of them and does a decent
amount of damage to them.
-----Skeletons-----
You can't really kill a skeleton using the normal means of sword stabbing,
air diving, and elemental damage. No sir, the only way to kill a skeleton is
to cast Turn Undead on him (Elements A,E,W). The sword HOLY SWORD randomly
casts this spell too, so you may also slay the skeletons with the HOLY SWORD.
-----Mage-----
These guys are super annoying. They teleport all over the room and never sit
still long enough. Besides using Judgement (A,F,E,W) which is a no-dodge
spell, the best way I've found to kill them is to jump from spot to spot
stabbing like crazy. When the mages duplicate themselves there is a trick to
determine which mage is the real mage. The real mage is always facing David.
So if you see a Mage with his back turned to David, he is not real.
-----Davids-----
The clones of you. These guys can cast spells or stab at you, just like you.
Once again using spells is truly the easiest of easy ways to kill Davids.
I prefer using Judgement (all elements) but if you're tight on elements then
try using Thunder (Elements A,E).
-----Cowboys-----
Cowboys are easy, they don't move and they shoot every certain amount of
seconds. So long as you keep moving it's too easy to walk up, stab, then
walk away. Repeat until he falls. They can drop the gloves "Mitt"
-----Mortars-----
Mortars are easy because they can't move. Just like the cowboys all you have
to do is walk up, stab, then walk away. Repeat.
-----Soldiers-----
Soldiers are just like mortars and cowboys. They don't move and shoot every
certain amount of seconds. They are too easy to defeat. Just walk up, stab,
then walk away.
-----The elements-----
The elements in ICE WORLD are easy. They don't do very much damage at all.
Just stand on a platform opposite of the one you want to kill. When the
element lowers itself to shoot you - jump stab at it. You'll most likely
hit it.
-----Orbs-----
Orbs from the FUTURE WORLD are easy. They are just like the cowboys, soldiers
and mortars. They don't move but they shoot every few seconds. Simply stab
them and walk (or hop in that world) away.

|NOTE |

Kevin B. pointed out to me something I had overlooked. Here is his
contribution:
"It's always best to have Steak in your inventory, rather than Red
Potions. Red Potions don't get used automatically, and that can have
a negative impact on an intense battle. Foods are always used
automatically; potions are not. Since Steak heals 100HP (just as
Red Potions do), there's no reason to waste inventory space with
Red Potions, especially when you consider how easy it is to get
Steak in this game."
Thank you for your contribution, Kevin B.!

| Saved State Hacking Intro (YZD) |
O===========================================================================O
So, you want to edit your saved state file of Light Crusader? Well before we
can even get into this topic there are some prerequisites you must first
meet.
You will need the following:
(1) A hex editor. I use Hex Workshop, you can download Hex Workshop at
BreakPoint Software's website (
http://www.bpsoft.com)
(2) Gens - An emulator program that can create saved states. I cannot
guarantee that if you use a different emulator that this FAQ's info
will be accurate. You can download Gens off of their homepage
(
http://gens.consolemul.com)
(3) A ROM of Light Crusader. There are many sites where you can download
this.
(4) A basic understanding of the hexadecimal numbering system. A short
tutorial on Hexadecimal is available at the bottom of my FAQ. It is
labelled HEXADECIMAL TUTORIAL (Prefix YZG).
O===========================================================================O
| Creating the Saved State (YZE) |
O===========================================================================O
Open up your Light Crusader ROM using the Gens emulator. Start a new game. As
soon as you are given control of David in the castle, go to the File menu,
and click "Save State As...". Give your saved state a name and save it
somewhere on your computer where you can find it.
Now open up whatever Hex editor you are using, and open up your saved state
in it. Now you should see a crapload of Hex values.
EXAMPLE:
00AE FFDC 985F 26AB
BA62 00FF EA88 F544
Every 2 numbers together form an OFFSET. So in the above example there
are 16 OFFSETS displayed. Offsets are how Hex Editors show your position in
the code. The bigger your offset number, the deeper down into the code you
are.
Most Hex editors have a Find Offset feature of some sort. If you have
Hex Workshop you can go to the Edit menu and choose "Goto..." and enter in
your offset value. It will take you straight to the offset you want to edit.
These are the values that make up your file. But don't go changing random
objects! Listed in this FAQ are what offsets (AKA section of Hex) control
what in Light Crusader.

| Saved State Value Locations (YZF) |
O===========================================================================O
NOTE: I apologize but I have been unable to find the location of David's
Max Health. If anyone knows where these values are please
email me and I will post it to this FAQ with full credit to you.
o-----------------------o
| Health |
o-----------------------o
WHAT: OFFSET: MAX: NOTE:
Current Health F4D0 2710 This is David's Current Health
F4D1 (10000) I still don't know where David's
Max health is, but with 65,535
Current Health on David, you
are still practically invincible.
I find that 10,000 is a good
number because if you go too big
of a number, David will die in
one hit, no matter how weak.
10,000 is plenty of health.
o-----------------------o
| Magic |
o-----------------------o
WHAT: OFFSET: MAX: NOTE:
Air 115A8 63 How much air magic you have. Max=99
Fire 115A9 63 How much fire magic you have. Max=99
Earth 115AA 63 How much earth magic you have. Max=99
Water 115AB 63 How much water magic you have. Max=99
o-----------------------o
| Gold |
o-----------------------o
WHAT: OFFSET: MAX: NOTE:
Gold 114A0 FFFF I do not recommend putting in FFFF
114A1 Instead enter the following: EFD8
Gold takes up a total of 2 offsets. Thus making the maximum value
FFFF (65,535 gold). However if you have 65,535 gold and then you
grab another piece of gold, your gold will rollover back to zero. So I
think you would be better off putting in about 55 thousand gold and not
worrying about the extra 10 thousand. =)
55 Thousand gold = D8EF
o-----------------------o
| Weapons |
o-----------------------o
WHAT: OFFSET: MAX: NOTE:
Weapons 115AC FF Which weapons you have. FF for all.

| Hexadecimal Tutorial (YZG) |
O===========================================================================O
Put very simply, Hexadecimal is a different way of counting/displaying
numbers. Normal people use the decimal numbering system. What's the
difference you ask? The number of characters in the system. Observe!
Decimal Numbering System:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
00 = Zero
99 = Ninety Nine
That's the decimal numbering system. This hopefully isn't new information to
you. With these 10 characters, we can express any number we want. If we
wanted to express the number Nine, we would simply use the 9. If we wanted
to say Ten, we would use BOTH a 1 and a 0 to form 10. Now, moving on...
Hexadecimal Numbering System:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
00 = Zero
FF = Two Hundred Fifty Five
Interesting, yes? As you count up in the Hexadecimal system, the value
Nine would still be written out as 9, however, the value Ten would now be
written with A. Why? Because we haven't used up all the characters available
in this numbering system. So if Ten = A, Eleven must be the next letter up
Ten = A
Eleven = B
Twelve = C
Thirteen = D
Fourteen = E
Fifteen = F
And since Fifteen uses up the last character available, Sixteen, which is
the next number, will have to be 10. Make sense? The next thing you need
to understand is how to convert between the two.
The easiest way is to use a calculator! Ha! Windows XP has a built in
calculator (Start, Run, Calc) that when viewed in Scientific Mode will
let you punch in a number in decimal, click the Hexadecimal button and
PRESTO! You've got a Hex value.
.. If you want to learn the manual way - read on.
First we'll use a decimal example. Take the number 5421. 5421 is
(5*10^3) + (4*10^2) + (2*10^1) + (1*10^0)
Which translates to...
(5*1000) + (4*100) + (2*10) + (1*1)
Which translates to...
5000 + 400 + 20 + 1
Notice how each number is a different power of 10? The 1 is a 10 to
the zero power. The 2 is a 10 to the first power. The 4 is a 10 to the
second power. The 5 is a 10 to the third power. As the numbers go from
right to left, the power of 10 increases by 1.
Hexadecimal is the same way, except NOT with 10^x but rather 16^x
Yes, Sixteen to the power of whatever.
First, Take your Hexadecimal value and write it out. We'll use the Hex
value 63 for our example.
63
Now take the first number on the RIGHT (the 3) and multiply it by 16^0
power
3 * 16^0 = 3
Anything to the power of zero will always equal 1. So 3 times 1 equals 3.
Write that answer somewhere to the side.
Now take the NEXT number from the RIGHT (the 6) and multiply it by 16^1
power.
6 * 16^1 = 96
Any number to the power of one will always equal the original number.
So 6 * 16 = 96. Now write that number off to the side.
Once you've finished multiplying with every number, take the numbers you
have written to the side, and add them together:
96 + 3 = 99
That's your answer. 63 (HEX) = 99 (DECI)
I will only do one more example. Let's take the Hex value of
ABEF
First, take the first number on the RIGHT (the F). Don't forget that F is 15.
Multiply: 15 * 16^0
15 * 16^0 = 15
Any number to the power of zero will always equal one. So fifteen times one
equals 15. Write 15 off to the side.
Now take the next number from the right (The E). Don't forget that E is 14.
Multiply: 14 * 16^1
14 * 16^1 = 224
Any number to the power of one will always equal the original number, so
Sixteen to the power of one equals Sixteen. Sixteen times fourteen equals
224. Write 224 off to the side.
Now take the next number from the right (The B). Don't forget that B is 11.
Multiply: 11 * 16^2
The power of two = 16 * 16. This equals 256. 256 * 11 = 2816. Write 2816
off to the side.
Now take your final number (The A). Don't forget that A is 10.
Multiply 10 * 16^3
The power of three = 16 * 16 * 16. This equals 4096. 4096 * 10 = 40960.
Write 40960 off to the side.
Now take all the numbers you put to the side and add them up
40960 + 2816 + 224 + 15 = 44015
You have finally finished. ABEF = 44015.
I realize this is difficult, but you can always just use the calculator. I
simply included this in case someone actually wanted to learn it. I hope it
was successful. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
