-=IV: Weapon and Shields=-
---------------------------
The following is a list of weapons and some info about each item:
Shields can be used as a defence during the main level combat.
If the shield is used in time it will absorb a full blow from an enemy
strike. To use a shield, you must have it in your hand.
A Button: Uses right hand action. Jumps during Duel. Picks up objects.
B Button: Uses left hand action and removes Option Menu from screen.
Attacks during Battles or Duels. Picks up objects
Duels:
Use A to jump and B to attack. Pressing up on the control pad while
pressing the b button will cause character to flip in the air.
Pressing down and right or left will cause character to roll in that
direction.
Traveling:
When you are on foot you can move up, down, left or right corresponding
to what direction you press on the control pad.
When you are on horseback, you can move back and forth and use the A or
B button to jump over obstacles.
Continue Play
You will have 2 opportunities to continue your game after your
character has been defeated. You will be asked if you wish to continue
In this section, I'll give the directions, strategies, item lists and
controls for Duels and melees. I'll skip most of Sherwood forest parts,
as they are pretty straightfoward
(start north, go south, start east, go west)
1: Arab Prison
Items found here: Sword, Torch
You start unarmed, no armor, no arrows, and no gold.
First, get the sword from the furnace, equip it, and kill the guard.
Peter will free himself. He will join your group, eqiped with a dagger.
Search the body of the guard (always check the bodies) to find the door
key. Open the door and talk to the guy on the wall. Free him and he
will koin your group too. He tells you to search the cell beside his;
do so, and get the key. Now open the door, and TALK to the guard.
If you get very close, he'll hit you with his axe.
You'll enter your first duel here.
The controls are: B-Attack
A-Jump
Down-left or down-right is a roll
Up + A left or right is flip jump
Down is crouch
In most duels, if you're in the floor and your opponent in a
table/rock/bridge, he can't hit you, but you can hit him.
Always remember this technique, it will prove to be very useful later
in the game. Anyways, in this duel you can't use it since your opponent
can't jump.
1st Duel: Guard with Axe
Just hit and run, until he dies.
Serch his body, to find a torch, and then search the corner to find a
secret passage.
2. Catacombs
Items found here: 2 Elixirs, 1Red Elixir, Peter's Ring
You'll enter by the south and your objective is to go to the north exit.
Try to get to level 2 before the melee.at the end.
Directions: Go up from the start, then rightup, left, left and into a
melee battle
Melee Battle: Try to get near the exits to kill the guards as they
come in. Use Robin all
the time, because if you leave him to the AI (you can change characters
with START), he'll probably get killed or something.
3.Hadrian's Wall
Items found here: Quiver x3, Chest Key, Long Bow, Red Elixir(chest),
Apple x2
Talk to the old woman, she'll tell you a bit more about the game story,
then go up and
collect the items now go down and collect the Chest Key, Quiver
and other item
Go up again and then left. You'll meet some gurds; run or fight.
Left again, then up.
You'll meet Guy of Gisborne, today's villiain. Try to TAKE the Long bow
before he talks to you, so you can equip it for the melee battle.
After th battle, go north and open the Chest, pick up the red potion,
then talk to John little's son, little John. He'll leave, you do the
same. Go down, left around the tree, and into the other side of the
forest. Equip the Long Bow and kill the guards from a distance.
Cross the forest and you'll arrive to Locksley's Castle.
4.Locksley's Castle
Items found here: Bread (search in the 1st right passage), Quiver,
Locksley Medallion
Go trough the wall and enter the castle. Robin's father is hanging
above the entrance. Inside, you'll find some wolves; kill them with
your sword or bow if you've got enough arrows. Go right and search in
the passage. You'll find a loaf of bread. TAKE it and go to the central
passage again. Go up for 2 more passages, and left.. The man standing
there is Duncan; talk to him, and hell join your group. Now go down the
central passage, and exit the castle.
Robin and his friends will now bury his father. Go left and exit to get
to Dubois Manor.
5.Dubois Manor
Items Found here: Elixir x2, Door Key, Quiver x6, Steel Armor, Bread,
Apple x5,Leg of Meat, Bandage
Equip the Locksley Medallion and TALK to the guard. He'll let you
proceed. Go inside and talk to the peasant. Go left and collect the
food, the door is locked so dont bother. Go to the central walkway, up,
and talk to the peasant who'll tell you where Marian is. Go up. Take
the Elixir and check the bed. You'll find a door key to open the door
at the beggining. Go there now, and open it to find 6 Quivers. Go now
to the east chamber (right and up right) to find Marian and some items.
Talk to her and give her the ring. She'll give you a Saddle. When you're
leaving, gurds will storm the castle. Go left, down,
and kill the guards from a distance with the long bow (some of them
have crossbows too). When you get out, kill some guards with your
sword, and USE the Saddle in the horses (left bottom corner of the
outside)
6.Horse Race (1).
Items Found here: None
You control your horse with the keys A, Right and B.
A - Jump (you need to jump ALL the stones, not just the big ones)
Right- Run. If the Guards catch you, Game Over
B - Stop (I've never used this one)
After about 1 minute of running, you'll reach...
7.Sherwood Forest
Items Found here: Quiver, Bread, Apple x2, Red Elixir
You Enter South-West from your destination, so try to go in a North
East direcction all the
time. You can wander a little to find all the items, but I reccomend
you go directly to...
2nd Duel: John Litte
Heal yourself before this one. He has exellent jumping skill, but
little range. I reccomend you get off the bridge and wait for him here.
If he is on the bridge, and you are down,
you can hit him and he can't.
After he's defeated, he'll join your group. Equip Robin with the staff,
and John with Robin' sword. The good part with the staff, is that if
you get into a forest or some other area
with enemies, and stick down the A button, the staff will keep rolling
and any enemy that gets near you will be killed. That's a great way to
get levels up.
You'll appear at the Camp. This will be your central base, and it will
grow larger and more developed as you progress in the game.
Talk to everyone, and get information on your next mission:
8.Stop The Wedding
Items Found Here: Letter, Elixir, Leg of Meat, Bandages, Bread.
You enter by the east part of the outside part. Collect some coins on
the entrance and go in. You need a Letter to stop the Wedding, and its
hidden in the second floor. To get there, go right on the first passage
and find the hole at the last wall. The letter is on the Baron's Room
(North West) and is heavily guarded by crossbow armed guards. Try to
kill them with the long bow before they shoot you.
Go up on the central passage, and you'll enter a melee battle. Kill
the soldiers with arrows, and protect Robin because you'll need to
charge up HP's later.
Collect the letter and go ASAP.
Go down again, then up the central passage, and TALK to the Baron.
You'll use the letter as evidence, and the Baron will Duel you
3rd Duel: The Baron
Use the Table method; you stay down, and your opponent up. Anfter 10
or so hits, he's done.
Now go back to the camp, and get prepared for your next mission.
9. The Wild Boar
Items found here: Locksley Bow, Locksley Armor, Bandage.
You're inSherwood forest again. The wild boar's lair is north and a
little east. Go east at the start, then up and when you see the lair,
enter. The enemies youll see here (some kind of Boar or pig, can be
killed easily with the staff or with the Long bow)
Wild Boar's Lair
Search the North-West corner a few times to find Locksley Bow, Locksley
Armor, Bandage and other items. Equip the Locksley Bow, and shoot him
a few times.
When he dies, get out and back to the camp.
10. Search For The Missing Man
Items Found Here: Letter x2, Credits List, Long bow, Quiver, Rope
Another mission at Sherwood Forest, and a very easy one. Go south from
the start, and east at the bridge. Youll see a well and a dead man.
Search him to fin a letter. Go east and search the corner to find a
rope. Go back to the well, and use the rope to go down.
In The well
A litttle maze, and then a walkway with doors at the left side. Inside
them you'll find a letter and the credits list.. Go North to mind
Mortianna the witch and his Guardian. You can't defeat them now, so
run back to the camp and get ready for your next assignment.
11. Get the dagger from Marian.
Items found here: Bandage, Druid's Dagger (Don't give it to
Duncan!!)
Go inside the chapel, then right to find a bandage, then left to find

only weapon that can defeat the Guardian.
Go back to the base.

find him noth of the triple crossroad (use your map). Search the house
and the well for some items, then talk to the trainer. You'll get into
