Controls for Warrior Blade III consist of three buttons and a joystick. The
three buttons are: attack button [A], jump button [J] and desperate move
button. All three characters share some basic moves:
move - joystick
run - tap 2x [left] or [right]
jump - [J]
single attack - [A] (this move changes to "stomp" when trying to hit
enemies turned into frogs, to a different looking attack
when climbing and to a specific attack when punching
Mahadidekaradi to cast a spell)
2 hits combo - 2x [A]
jumping attack - press [A] during normal jump
desperate attack - desperate move button or just mash the joystick (in both
cases this attack drains some health)
shoulder/elbow bash - tap 2x [left] or [right] and then [A] (or just press [A]
during run)
jumping kick - tap 2x [left] or [right] and then [J] (or just press [J]
during run)
special attack - [J]+[A]
finishing move - [down]+[J]+[A] or just press [A] near lying enemy
(Rastan and Sophia can't use this attack during boss
fights)
grab - get close to enemy and push direction towards him (some
enemies are immune), you can now cancel the grab by
pressing [back] or [J], do a throw by pressing a
direction + [A] or just bash them by tapping [A] (you
can chain bashing with another action like hitting him a
few times and then do a throw) additionally Rastan and
Dewey can move while holding the enemy and use them as a
living shield
During boss fights, characters change stances to prepare for fighting the
powerful enemy. Thanks to that, boss fights look more epic but it's not the
only difference. While fighting bosses some of character attacks are altered:
RASTAN: his single attack (and first slash of 2 hits combo) looks different
DEWEY : gains completely new 4 hits combo
SOPHIA: loses her 2 hits combo and her single attack looks different
All characters have what I call a "landing combo". To do a landing combo simply
keep tapping [A] the moment you land after a jump. Each hero has a specific
landing combo:
RASTAN: kick -> special attack
DEWEY : kick A -> kick B -> special attack
SOPHIA: kick -> dagger thrust -> special attack
Now for the list of character specific moves:
~~RASTAN~~
special attack - Rastan's special attack can be done while jumping
jumping round kick - tap 2x [left] or [right] and then [J]+[A]
backslash - press [A] and then immediately press [back]
punch - ?
~~DEWEY~~
special attack - Dewey's special attack can also be done by tapping 2x [left]
or [right] and then [J]
somersault A - tap 2x [left] or [right] and then [J]+[A]
somersault B - press [left] or [right] + [J]+[A]
hook slash - press [A] and then immediately press [back]
quick stabs - very quickly tap [A]
punch - press [left] or [right] while doing quick stabs
jumping attack - Dewey's jumping attack is special because it can be more than
a single hit and he uses two different attacks depending on
when you press [A], you can press [A] while he's rising or
when he's falling
chest jump - press [J]+[A] while doing grab
~~SOPHIA~~
special attack - Sophia's special attack can also be done by pressing [A] one
second after doing single attack and while jumping
whip throw - hit enemy with the end of whip by doing special attack (but
don't release [J] and [A]) to tie him (some enemies are
immune), now keep pressing [left] and [right]
sleeping powder - [J]+[A] (Sophia sometimes uses sleeping powder instead of
her special attack when standing on the same plane as enemy)
eggcrusher - press [J]+[A] while doing grab

Depending on cabinet configuration you can start each level with him as your
companion or summon him by collecting a special orb from breakable objects.
To cast a spell you must hit him with one of your characters (he also
automatically casts a spell if you are hit by enemy while being low health). If
you punch him while there are no nearby enemies or when he doesn't have enough
mana to cast a spell he will use his staff to summon a small burning
projectile. He will last for the whole level except for a boss fight where he
disappears. Here is a list of all his incantations:
From the frozen north, eternal soul of winter sleep, blow your icy breath from
the depths of the earth and stillnees to all that you encounter!
------------------------
FREEZING BREATH (20% MP) - Turns most on-screen enemies into lumps of ice. Hit
them afterwards to shatter their bodies. All frozen
enemies will break free after a while.
Summon an icy wind and a terror-filled heart, a wintery blizzard blast that
delivers death to all living things!
-----------------------
DEATH BLIZZARD (50% MP) - Turns all on-screen enemies into lumps of ice. Hit
them afterwards to shatter their bodies. All frozen
enemies will break free after a while.
O tear through the darkness, voice of a spell that tolls of death! Behold the
insane master that will still you into speechless petrification!
--------------------
STONE IMAGE (20% MP) - Turns most on-screen enemies into stone statues. Hit
them afterwards to break them apart. All petrified
enemies will break free after a while.
I beseech thee to come, ill-fated, cursed goddess fate and despised, so that
your eyes may reap stony vengeance in the name of your love denied!
--------------------
MEDUSA EYED (50% MP) - Turns all on-screen enemies into stone statues. Hit them
afterwards to break them apart. All petrified enemies
will break free after a while.
Blow spring winds, bring sand to dance on your breeze near dawn, and lambs and
sheep line up to walk for an eternity, sweep over traces of footprints that
extend into a mirage of endless sleep!
----------------------
SLEEPING WIND (30% MP) - All on-screen enemies fall asleep. They will wake up
after a while or when you attack them.
Burn, burn through to the deep recesses of this heart, and tell me what flaws
do lie therein! Assume your true shape, soul, and let no evil or disloyalty
remain unseen!
---------------------
CHANGE SHAPE (30% MP) - All on-screen enemies are turned into frogs. You can
stomp on them by pressing the fire button. If you don't
kill them, the frogs will go off-screen and eventually
disappear.
Fiery star from heaven, crushing hammer blow of the gods, visit this earth and
set aflame all that stands in your path, let your furious hell of heat and
flames crush all into ashes!
----------------------
METEOR STRIKE (50% MP) - All on-screen enemies are killed.

Depending on cabinet configuration, some stages are special and whether you see
them or not, depends on your performance. To be sure you don't miss any of
them, set dip switches option "rounds" to "long (14)". Those performance
dependent stages are marked with "*". Here is a list of all the stages along
with corresponding bosses:
Depon Road (1st stage)
CASTLE TOWER
Houseman's Forest Wind Canyon
Hulakatzia Volcano* Mahadidekaradi Spiral Tower
Areaguard: Dunamis=Noesis Areaguard: Pylex=Pylon
The Enchanted Castle Of Zananstaff Forgotten Swamp*
Areaguard: King Zananstaff Areaguard: Tetra=Hydra
SHIP PALACE
Harbor Village Of Peslo Ke Fa Mountain
Areaguard: Pas-De-Deux Areaguard: Finsternis
The Pirate Ship Southernkid Canal River Of Dead Souls*
Areaguard: Giftkrake Palace Of The Black Demon Religion
Fairy Forest* Areaguard: Desmostylus
Areaguard: Maneater
The Temple Of Gulestopalis (final stage)
Areaguard: Lord Luderkawn
The order in which you complete the castle, ship, tower and palace stages is
completely up to you. In the pirate ship stage you can knock enemies into holes
to kill them instantly (but they won't leave loot). I love the music theme in
this stage. Ke Fa Mountain stage begins with some hill sliding. You must jump
over chasms when you see a big white exclamation mark. Enemies are to busy
trying to kill you to notice them so each chasm clears the screen of enemies.
Your moves repertoire is also a bit smaller during sliding just like in the
next stage when you defend yourself on a raft swimming through "river of dead
souls". The fun thing about final stage of the palace wing is that all enemies
can be hit by traps just like you. Houseman's Forest is a special stage because
you're on horseback. It's similar to Ke Fa mountain, you defend yourself from
enemies while jumping over fallen trees. In volcano stage you can kill enemies
by pushing them into lava. Of course fire elementals are immune. Wind Canyon
is another special stage. This time you're flying on a drake. By pressing jump
button your drake quicker flaps his wings but you won't get to the top any
faster.
By defeating bosses and completing performance dependent stages you gain
treasures which grant you special bonuses:
CASTLE
Dunamis=Noesis: attacking speed up
King Zananstaff: enemy force down
TOWER
Pylox=Pylon: magic power up
Tetra=Hydra: fortune level up
SHIP
Giftkrake: protections power up
Maneater: vitality up
PALACE
Canal River Of Dead Souls: attacking power up
Desmostylus: movement speed up
I think that the best order to complete the stages is castle (best bonuses in
my opinion), ship/palace and then tower (worst bonuses in my opinion).
