This is the ultimate help source for Gauntlet Legends in Arcades. This
source has codes, weird stuff, boss strategies, and much more! So get
ready to find out how to get all rune stones and whoop Skorne!
How to find all Rune Stones
Mountain
1st=Peak: After climbing a few hills, you will see two caves and one
with a statue in it. Destroy the statue to get the rune stone.
2nd=Cliff: Go past the first exit and follow the trail. You know you are
on the right track if you fight a Golem, follow that path until you see
two bridges and cross them and go north to the rock wall after you get
there. Hit the rock wall near the north end exit until it breaks to get
the rune stone.
3rd= Cavern: Instead of going into the 2nd exit near the TWO GOLEMS! Kill
the enemies until you get to the wall farthest from the 2nd exit, hit
the wall to get the final rune stone in the stage.
Castle
1st= Dungeon: Having trouble getting the caged rune stone? SIMPLE! Just
go down the stairs and to the south were you fight a Golem. After the
Golem is killed you will see a switch, hit the switch to lower the cage
down. Go back to the cage and get the rune stone.
2nd= Armory: Find another switch and hit it to release a Golem. Kill the
Golem and then break the wall under the stairs where he was to find
another switch and after you hit it you get the rune stone.
3rd= Treasury: When you are in the room with the throne go down the
stairs into the court. You will eventually find Death next to a box.
Blow death away with some magic and break the box he was next to get
the final rune stone in this stage.
Forest
1st= Roots: After the elevator, go northwest until you find a Golem,
kill the Golem to find a tree stump. Destroy the stump to find the rune
stone.
2nd= Tree (NEED AT LEAST 2 PEOPLE TO DO THIS!): When you reach the
bridge you need two players to use and cross it. You will soon find a
tree with a circular cut in it, activate the switch. Then walk to the
green leaf and then go onto the branch to the east. If you activated
the switch, you should find the rune stone.
3rd=Branches: When you get to the two archers that attack you (On the
rising logs), just kill them and then knock down the wall their backs
were facing to find the stages final rune stone.
Pyramid
1st= Ruins: Go to the stairs that send you into the water (After the 1st
exit). Go west and then south till you reach a locked door. Open the
door and run onto the little ledge and a platform should rise up with
the rune stone on it.
2nd= Temple: Go to the big sandy area of the Temple, you will see four
blue switches. Step on the switches and go to the middle of the sandy
area to find Death and a rune stone next to him.
3rd=Pyramid: After fighting the first group of enemies, head for the
slanted path with sand on the bottom of it. Then open the two locked
doors and step on the switch and go back down to the catwalk and walk
around. After the catwalk ends, go down the slanted path and walk south
where you will find another switch and some enemies. Hit the switch and
go back to the north and to the area where the wall used to be before
you pressed the switch and walk down the left side. When you reach the
room with death in the center you are on the right path. Keep going
until you see some spikes. The rune stone should be a little back from
the spikes.
CONGRADULATIONS! YOU HAVE GOTTEN ALL 12 RUNE STONES! Once you get to
Skorne and defeat him, you will go to another realm of Skorne. After
you beat him you will be treated with a special ending (I will not
spoil it for you).
Codes and Secrets
To play as Pojo the Chicken type in your name as EGG and password as
911.
When you are at level 99 and get a growth power-up, you will stay big
forever which is good because you can never get knocked down by any
enemy except some boss attacks.
When your character has 999 on all parts (Strength, Magic, Speed,
Agility) your head will grow big like in a big head code for NBA Jam.
Weird Stuff
When you beat the game once w/o going to the 2nd Skorne, you will find
it is much harder than before. The enemy generators have spread more
throughout the level and more monsters come out of them even quicker!
If you find a rune stone you automatically get 500 gold!
If you face the 1st Skorn and use a level 99 character to weaken him and
then use a lower level character to defeat him (L.1-75 only) The game
should be considerably easier than before. Such as less enemies and
less generators!
How to Beat the Bosses
Dragon= Boss of Mountain: The Dragons attacks are, Fireball, Fire
Breath, Leg Stomp, and Wing Slash. This boss is 2nd easiest to defeat.
To beat this guy, just stand behind the stones and wait for him to
destroy all of them. Then, grab the power-ups the stones had in them
and fire away. Your L.3 turbo attack can stun him for a few seconds,
giving you a great opportunity to grab the power-ups near his feat.
Only take about five shots at him before you run from his attacks or it
will take you a while to beat him. After you defeat the Dragon you will
get his key.
Chimera= Boss of the Castle: Snake Head shoots Acid, Lion Head shoots
Fire, and the Eagle Head shoots Electricity. This guy is the 1st easiest
in the game. One word for this guy. SIMPLE!!! All you have to do is
make him blow up the pillars so you can nab the power-ups then all
people should attack the same head to make him die quicker. After you
beat on head the other two go crazy and shoot like there is no
tomorrow! Just run and shoot at this point to send Chimera back to 3
Headed Land! You get the Chimera's key when you win.
Genie= Boss of the Desert: Another simple character. His attacks are
Eye Beam, Eye Fireball, Tornado, and Sword Slash. He is the 3rd easiest
to beat. To whoop him just buy a reflect shield or two and fire away at
the moron to win! You get the Genie's key if you win.
Spider Queen= Boss of the Forest: This is the 3rd hardest boss on the
game. Her attacks are Acid Fireball, Whip, and Spider Web that really
slows you down. This is the hardest boss of the four REALMS. To beat
her you just need to fire from a distance and chuck in a lot of
quarters or an alternative is to buy five gold invulnerability's and
about 7 reflect shields and you should be able to beat her w/o putting
one single quarter in.
Skorne 1= Boss of the Altar of Skorne: This might be the first edition
of Skorne but he sucks! He only has Fireball and Shockwave attacks! To
beat him just dodge his attacks and fire away with your highest level
character! I like to play with my Jackal L.8 to insult and remind him
how pathetic he is! After you beat him you must either go back and
collect all 12 ruin stones or if you have them all, go to Skorne 2!
Skorne 2= Boss of the Throne of Skorne: HOLY! This is about as tough as
facing a few hundred Golems at once! NOT!!! This guy is the same except
for a Chest and Head Beam attacks. But you can fall off the edge this
time and die no matter what. Just buy a few Gold Invulnerability's and
you are set to kill Skorne 2! After you beat him you will be treated
with a special ending you will have to see for yourself.
