Hi. Welcome to my fifth FAQ for Gauntlet Dark Legacy. This is a very good game
that is a great remake of a great arcade game. I hope you will enjoy the game.
===============================================================================
Playing the Game .:pla02:.
===============================================================================
There are things you will have to do to progress in each level, other than kill
everybody and get to the portal.
**************
Runestones
**************
Runestones are sacred stones that are hidden throughout each realm. There could
be at least two in a realm, or just one. There is always one in each realm.
You have to get these in order to proceed to hell, the final area, reffered to
as the "underworld" throught the game.
***************
Items of Legend
***************
Items of legend are not required, but they are helpful. These are things that
are also hidden throughout each realm, but only one to a realm this time.
They are a weapon of some sort, used for beating a boss. They take a good
chunk out of the bosses incredibly large health bar. Yuo can only use it once
though, so be wise.
****************
Generators
****************
Possibly the most common thing in the game. These spawn enemies. They come in
the shape of gravestones, mirrors, holes in the ground, etc. You must destroy
these to stop the enemies from spouting. If you are itching for some infinate
experience it's as simple as "don't kill the generators" and they wont stop
coming and you can keep killing. There are three levels of generators
===============================================================================
Character Stats .:cha03:.

-> Go left and kill the golem

-> Get the IOL
-> Now go back up and go right
-> Kill the gargoyle and get in the portal
Okay, this may be the first time you don't have enough crytsals to go to the
next realm. This is definately the most annoying part of the entire game.
You need to go back and re-do a level and get some more crystals. You will
also most likely need to do the same for the golden items so you can get to
the next are containing the realms. I recommend you do this level again; it has
crystals and two golden items.

open the top chest and a black death will come out. Use your antideath on it
and you will gain a level.

-> Go down the stairs, right, and up, use the switch
-> Get the new keys
-> Use the switch and cross over the gap
**NOTE: If you find this not working, wait until a baddie gets on the area
where the gap would be. Then get off the switch. Because the game
won't let the baddies fall, the area has to stay up, allowing you
to cross.
Weak enemies are most common in the early levels. They usually only tale one
hit to kill at about level seven.
**************
Medium Enemies
**************
These are a little tougher. Pretty common everywhere. They are about two hit
kills at level 5.
**************
Strong Enemies
**************
These are the brutes. They are more common at the later levels. They are
usually big and have big weapons. They take about three hits at level 5.
=-+-=-+-=-+
Semi-Bosses
=-+-=-+-=-+
These are pretty strong that are not very common.
*************
Gargoyles
*************
Gargoyles are big creatures that look a lot like dragons. When killed, they
drop a golden item, used to open gates leading to different realms.
*************
Generals
*************
Generals are the leaders of the grunts. They are much bigger, they sprint,
and they attack you and knock you over. They also block, so your attacks don't
affect them, which is annoying.
=-+-=-+-=-+
Bosses
=-+-=-+-=-+
Bosses are the realm leaders. They are hard as living crap to kill, and have a
friggin' TON of health.
The Lich
Boss of: Forbidden Province
Item of Legend: Book of Protection, found in Sky Realm
This is one of the first hard guys. Wait till level 30. Keep moving, and won't
hurt you much at all. He does a lot of physical attacks so go in a circle
around the edge. If he spits out those maggots, just ignore them until you get
to them while turning your circle. Then kill it. Light amulets and full health
are key for this battle. That speed thing wouldn't hurt either.
The Dragon
Boss of: The Mountain Kingdom
Item of Legend: Ice Axe, found in Castle Realm
This is the easiest guy in the game. You could probably beat him around level
12. When he is about to use the shockwave thing, move to the very back of the
arena. It should miss you there. Move from left to right shooting. Don't even
worry about cover, just shoot. Don't worry about items either.
Chimera
Boss of: Castle Realm
Item of Legend: Scimitar of Decapitation, found in Forest Realm.
The other easy guy. Fight him around level 20. Stay in the back, and don't go
after the food, as you'll probably lose more health than you'll gain getting
to it. Forget the cover. In fact, I'd destroy it so you have a clear shot at
the Chimera. Get a tri-shot and any of the amulets for this battle.
Plague Fiend
Boss of: Sky Realm
Item of Legend: Javelin of Blinding
Dang, I hate this guy. He is HARD, and the cover hurts you. Keep behind cover,
but away from it at the same time. Then the acid won't affect you. Have an
amulet of some sort, and attack away.
The Spider Queen
Boss of: Forest Realm
Item of Legend:
Now the bosses get hard. This person is freaking fast. I definitely recommend
the item of legend for her, which is found in the Desert Realm. Stay in one
spot until she turns toward you, then run. Go in circles. Try to get really
high speed stats so you can move around and dodge the Spider Queen. Get amulets
and full health and a speed shoe to help.
Genie
Boss of: Desert Realm
Item of Legend: Lamp of Dark Obstruction, found in Dream Realm
One of the easiest bosses in the game if you ask me. Get a tri-shot and a
light amulet. He will go down QUICK. Like, REALLY quick. Ignore the grunts
and try to ignore the Genie's blue, ever-present, B U T T .
Yeti
Boss of: Ice Realm
Item of Legend: Parchment of Fire, found in the Haunted Cemetary
Not very hard. Use whatever cover you get, and have tri-shot and fire amulet.
Wraith
Boss of: Dream Realm
Item of Legend: Lamp of Dark Obstruction
One of the harder ones. Use a tri-shot, light amulet, and speed shoes. You will
also want to have plenty of health.
===============================================================================
Other Items .:oth06:.
===============================================================================
-------
Amulets
-------
These are items that power up your attacks. They are element related, but
generally it doesn't matter what element.
----
Food
----
Food is health. Save ALL your money for this, and don't buy anything unless you
have full health.
-------------
Invincibility
-------------
Makes you invulnerable for a short time.
------------
Invisibility
------------
Makes you unseeable.
------------
Anti-Death
------------
Anti-death can be holy. It does what the death would do to you, exept you do it
to death. It is also a level gained if you use it on a black death.
------------
Golden Items
------------
Golden Items are what you get for killing gargoyles. They open new doors that
lead to new realms. You will probably have to re-do some levels to get the
required amount of Golden Items.
--------
Barrels
--------
Barrels are like traps. There are green, red, and regular ones. The regular
barrels have items in them. The reds explode, damaging everything nearby. The
greens explode with poison gas.
--------
Traps
--------
Traps are things that damage you, normally on the ground. They are things such
as rolling razors that pop out every few seconds, spikes, things like that.
AVOID THEM.
---------
Potions
---------
These are very useful. They emit a magical circle that kills or damages enemies
in the way. You can use it in different ways by throwing it, etc. by pressing
the 0 button in different ways. They also give you a little health after a
certain level.
---------
Treasure
---------
Money. Use it to buy things in the store. NEVER BUY ANYTHING BUT STATS OR
HEALTH. IT IS LAW. If you buy something else, it goes away after a few minutes.
Stats are only supposed to be used after about level 50, unless yourt character
has a REALLY SUCKY stat that needs to be fixed.
