=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Hello and welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough for Willow, maybe the best Zelda clone
on the NES. Yes, that is how I introduce Willow, because when it comes down to
it, the mechanics of the gameplay have been, more or less, directly ripped off
from the original Zelda game. But, while both games are among the best on the
NES in my opinion, I personally have Willow a little higher on my list, simply
because it's not as frustrating as The Legend of Zelda can sometimes be, and
the dungeons are not as repetitive. You don't have to run around randomly
bombing mountain walls or burning down trees to find the next dungeon in
Willow, and unlike Zelda, you don't come back to the same overworld map after
every dungeon. Instead you keep moving through the world to new locations, and
thus it becomes a little more interesting than the original Zelda was. Yes,
this game did rip off Zelda at times (I'd say it becomes rather blatant by the
time you get to the falling rocks), but don't let that stop you from enjoying
this great game. Willow is also one of the very few movie-to-game games that
are actually good.
Now, I'd like to point out that this is the first FAQ/Walkthrough I've ever
written, so bear with me here if not everything about this FAQ is top-notch.
But either way, I'd say I know my way around this game fairly well, so I think
we'll be just fine. I first wrote and completed this walkthrough back in 2002.
Now, three years later, I went over it again and rewrote pretty much the whole
thing. Not because it contained errors, but because it was poorly written and
maybe a bit hard to follow at times. I blame that on my native language not
being English. After reading through the old version of this FAQ, I realized
that my English skills must have improved over the past few years, so I decided
to improve the quality of this walkthrough as well. If you have any questions,
suggestions or any other comments about the game or this FAQ/Walkthrough,
please feel free to email me at
[email protected].
Finally, I hope you find this FAQ somewhat helpful, and that you'll enjoy the
game as much as I do.

02) The Story of Willow
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The following story is taken directly from the game's manual.
It is a time of great turmoil to the world. Bavmorda, a former messenger
from the Spirit of the Skies, has turned towards evil. Her plan is to rule
the world through her twisted magics. Her force is incredible and her armies
are unstoppable. She even dared to transform Fin Raziel, the messenger from
the Spirit of the Earth, into a small animal. Bavmorda believes that there
is no one that can stop her.
But she had not heard of the tribe of the Nelwyns. There had been a prophecy
among these people that one of their tribe would help lead the world out of
its darkest hour. The High Aldwin, the wizard of the Nelwyn tribe,
recognized Willow Ufgood as the chosen one. The adventure begins for Willow
as he leaves his family and friends and sets out to stop all of the evil
that Bavmorda has created.
The following is the story you are told at the beginning of the game.
Tales of dreams and imagination.
There are two spirits watching over the world. One, the Spirits of the
Skies, gives light and power to all beings. The other is the Spirits of the
Earth who gives courage and hope. The two spirits each sent a messenger in
order to bring peace to the world. And the beautiful messengers were given
special power to protect the people's future. That special power was
......... magic.
The people were living peacefully, protected by a great magic. Bavmorda, the
messenger of the Skies, became greedy for power. In arrogance, she decided
to conquer the world with her magic. Fin Raziel, the messenger of the Earth,
realized her plot and tried to persuade Bavmorda to return to the Skies. But
her magic was sealed and she was turned into an opossum by Bavmorda's wicked
magic. Bavmorda declared herself queen of the world, and started to build up
her strength to rule the world.
So now you know what you have to do. Find Bavmorda and stop her evil plan. Oh,
and find Fin Raziel and turn her back into her human form while you're at it.

We start our story outside Willow's house, in a small village called Nelwyn.
The world is ruled by the evil queen Bavmorda, and your job is to find her and,
well, kill her, basically. You can go inside your house to say your farewells
to your family, because you won't be seeing them for a while. Although, you can
come back here and rest if you ever need to refill your HP, but chances are you
won't ever need to do that, as you'll get a better alternative once you get to
Dew. Anyway, go right to visit your neighbour, the High Aldwin. He'll give you
your first magic, the Magic Acorns. This magic will petrify the enemies. It
will come in very handy against certain enemies, as you'll soon see. You can
visit Aldwin whenever you need to refill your MP.
When you're done talking to Aldwin, you need a sword. Visit Vohnkar in the
northwest corner of the village (coordinates H1), and he'll give you the Long
Sword. Now you can walk around the village and talk to the villagers if you
want to. When you're ready, equip your sword and magic, and go to H3. Then head
north, into the forest.
In the forest, you can just follow the path all the way through, until you get
to the village of Dew. But if you want a more detailed guide through the
forest, read on. In F4 you might meet your first group of enemies, a group of
four slimes. To be on the safe side, keep yor distance, and wait for one of
them to move. Then go up to it and kill it wih your sword, before it moves
again. If you go north from here, you'll only get to a dead end and you might
encounter a warthog (use a magic acorn on it, before you slash it with your
sword). Instead you should continue east. Now, wheter you encountered any
slimes in the previous screen or not, you'll definitely encounter some here.
Take your time, and try not to lose any HP here.
Now, if you continue up north, you'll see that there are two walkable areasof
this screen. You are now on the right side of the screen. If you had gone north
earlier, and then east, you would have ended up on the left side of the same
screen, but you wouldn't be able to continue on to E6 from there. This means
that you can't always follow my maps blindly. Just keep that in mind for later.
Anyway, moving on to the next screen. Here you'll encounter three more slimes.
Again, take your time and you'll be fine. I know the slimes are pathetic, but
if you're not careful, they might still be able to hurt you. Move on to D6.
Nothing to see here, but be warned, you must be careful when you move on to the
next screen.
When you enter D5, stay as close to the high grass as possible, then start
slowly moving forward. When skull enemies appear out of the ground, quickly
back away, then turn towards the skulls again, and start pounding the B button
like crazy as the skulls come towards you. If you're lucky, you'll get away
from this without losing any HP. If you don't stay close to the high grass, the
skulls will apear later, when you're further into the screen, they'll most
likely surround you, and you won't get away from that without losing any HP.
Also, the Magic Acorns won't affect these guys.
Stay on the left side of the path as you enter C6. This is because you might
encounter a group of five skulls on this screen. If you keep to the left side
of the path, you can just walk right through the screen without getting hurt.
You'll encounter some slimes again on B6. Be careful, though, these slimes will
split into four smaller slimes when you kill them. After you've taken care of
the slimes, move on to B5. If you managed to keep your HP up through the
forest, you can stay here and level up to level 3 on the slimes in the previous
screen. Just keep going back and forth between B5 and B6. You'll only need 300
EXP, won't take long at all. If your HP is low, go to the next village, Dew,
and heal first, then come back here to level up. When you're done, go up to A5,
and then go left to enter the village of Dew.

The first thing you'll notice when you arrive at Dew is the pink-ness. These
people sure like their flowers pink and pleasant. When you've put the sudden
color shock behind you, you should head two screens down and one to the right.
Go inside the house you see here to refill your HP and MP (this is the better
alternative I mentioned in Nelwyn). Now go back to the slimes in the forest and
level up to level 3, if you haven't done so already. After that is taken care
of, it is time to get your first shield. Go to the southwest corner of the
village (I1). Enter the house here, and the man inside will tell you the story
about the demon Bogarda. Then he'll give you the Wood Shield. What a nice man,
randomly giving shields to complete strangers. Now that you've talked to this
man, you should go talk to the chief. His house is in F4. That's all the way up
from where you are, and then three screens to the right. The chief will tell
you that the story about his father is indeed true. He'll then give you the
Healmace magic. Now, Willow can heal himself for the cost of 20 MP. On level 3,
that means you can heal yourself three times. Not much, but I'm sure it'll save
your life more than once.
With the Wood Shield equipped, Willow's defense is now 8. That's better than
nothing, but before moving on to Bogarada's Cave, we'll go get a shield that'll
boost your defense up to 17! To get that, we'll have to leave Dew. Go to map
coordinates H1, and head west, out of the village. Scroll down to the Death
Forest section of the walkthrough if you need a map of this area. When the path
splits, take the bottom path to the west. Along this path, you'll encounter
some new enemies, like the falling rocks I briefly mentioned in the
introduction of this FAQ. Just run through that screen and you should be able
to avoid them. If you're unlucky, you might also encounter the trolls. I don't
think it's possible to get away from this encounter without losing HP. They
appear when you're halfway through the screen, and surround you. On level 3,
they can take ten hits from the Long Sword before they die, and they're only
worth 20 EXP each. If you absolutely *have* to kill them, at least use your
Magic Acorns on them first, so they can't move. I suggest, you just run
through. If you're lucky, you'll only be hit once. Also, if a warthog appears
before you, throw an acorn at it from a safe distance before you kill it with
your sword. When you reach the cave, go inside.
You might encounter some bats in the cave. Just keep walking when they appear,
and you should be able to walk past them. If you stop, they'll either come
closer and surround you, or a much bigger bat will appear to make your life
miserable. So, just keep going. At the end of this cave, you'll find the Small
Shield in a treasure chest. Equip your new shield, and head back to Dew. Rest
at the old man's house if you need to, then go to F5. Go north to enter the
forest.
OK, what we're gonna do now, is find Bogarda and turn him back into a human. By
fighting him, of course. Finding the cave entrance is easy enough, but there's
one problem: The skeleton guarding the cave, won't let you pass unless you
bring the Gold Statue the villagers of Dew hid somewhere in the forest back to
Bogarda.
From where you start, you have no other choice than going up. On the next
screen, head left. Here you'll most likely encounter a bunch of skulls. Now,
you have two choices if you don't want to lose any HP. The first, and most
risky alternative, is to bait the skull blocking the path going down, and when
it comes towards you, go around it (while dodging the other skulls) and go down
the path it was blocking. The other alternative is to go back to the previous
screen when the skulls appear, because that's the only path that won't be
blocked by the skulls. Then try to enter the screen again. Do this until the
skulls don't appear, then go down.
Here, you'll most likely encounter some slimes that split into four when
killed. Take out the regular slimes, but don't bother with the small ones
unless they get in your way, as they won't give you any EXP anyway. Stay as
high up as you can on the next screen as you move to the left side, in case a
warthog appears. This way, the warthog will appear in the upper left area of
the screen where it won't be a threat to you. If you reached the high grass on
the left side of the screen with no warthog appearing, it's safe to go down and
continue to the left. Nothing to see in this screen, but make sure to equip the
healmace before you continue. You might need it in the next screen.
After taking a few steps up, a huge green beast will appear. When you approach
the beast, it will come towards you. You can't run away from it, so it with
your sword instead when it gets close to you, then back up. He will now shoot
fireballs at you, but since you have the Small Shield, they won't hurt as long
as you're facing the fireballs and not using your sword when they hit. Once one
of the fireballs have hit your shield, move forward and hit the beast with your
sword again. He will shoot three new fireballs, so just rinse and repeat. After
thirteen swings with the Long Sword (on level 3), he'll die. Don't be afraid to
use your healmace if you need to, as you can go back to Dew to restore your MP
after you've found the Gold Statue.
After you've slain your thoughest opponent yet, go up. Here, you would normally
encounter four skulls, but if you stick to the high grass on the left like
glue, they won't appear. Head left. Here, you'll see another one of those green
beasts. We'll be fighting that one next. Head down, make a u-turn and go up to
where you saw the green beast. Use the same strategy on this guy and continue
north. When you examine the treasure chest, you'll get the Gold Statue. The
chest will also refill your HP, but not your MP, so we should now head back to
Dew to rest before going into the cave.
When your HP and MP have been refilled, head back to the forest, but this time,
head north when the path splits. You'll probably run into some skulls in C6.
Just run through. In B6, you might encounter some, uh, flying dogs? They're
supposed to be some kind of insects, but these things are even bigger than
Willow for Christ's sake! Anyway, if you want to kill them, use your magic
acorns on them first, but I suggest you just run west before they get a chance
to get to you. If you encounter a warthog on the next screen, use a magic acorn
on it and kill it with your sword.
On B4, you'll find the entrance to Bogarda's cave. Talk to the skeleton, and
he'll let you pass. But you must promise to return once you've given the Gold
Statue to Bogarda. Right. What a gullible skeleton. Anyway, enter the cave.

NOTE: With the above password, you'll appear in Dew, but you'll still have
everything collected so far, and the skeleton guarding the cave will be
gone.
As you can tell from the map, you have to go down four screens once you enter,
to E1. Try to avoid any bats you may encounter on these screens. You might have
to go back one screen when you encounter bats, but that's OK. Just go back and
try again, until they don't appear. On E1, you have to go right, and then down
on E2. If you encounter any wasps, you could try to fight them off as they come
towards you, but you have to be fast on the B button, so they don't get too
close. Follow the path to G3. Bats will probably block your path here, so try
to lure them away, and go around them, or do the safest thing and leave and
re-enter the screen until they are gone. Whatever you choose to do, head south
from here. For the shortest route possible, we're gonna pick up the Ring before
the Battle Sword.
On H3, it's not unlikely that you'll encounter a group of four wasps. They're
worth 30 EXP each, so that's not a bad deal at all if you choose to kill them.
Now move left to H2. Ignore the zombie enemy that might appear here, and go
south. If you stay on the same screen with this enemy for to long, it will turn
you into a pig and start shooting things at you that are very hard to avoid.
And you can't leave the screen while in pig status either. On I2, bats might
appear again. Avoid them as usual, and continue south. Go right from J2, and
enter the cave opening on J3. In here, follow the path, and pick up the Ring.
This ring increases your strength by 10 points.
Head back the way you came to H3. Continue east to H4 and follow the path
through G4 to G5. Go up to F5 and pick up the Battle Sword. After equipping the
Battle Sword, you need to go two screens down. Follow the path from here, and
kill all wasps along the way. With the Battle Sword equipped and the Ring in
your inventory, they'll go down in three hits. At the end of this path, you'll
find another cave opening. Inside, you'll find Bogarda. When you refuse to give
him the Gold Statue, your first boss fight will begin.
Bogarda is a simple boss. He attacks by throwing his axe at you. Keep moving
around the room, and he won't hit you. Run up to him and attack him when his
axe is out flying. Only hit him once, then back off agian to avoid his axe.
Wait for him to throw his axe again and go up to him and hit him once more.
Rinse and repeat until defeated. You can also let the axe hit your Small
Shield, but then his axe will appear back in his hand right away. It's safer to
just avoid it.
When defeated, you'll be awarded with 700 EXP, so if you hadn't reached level 4
already, you'll definitely level up to level 4 now. Bogarda is so thankful for
turning him back into a human, he'll teach you the Flowing Fire magic. You're
done in the cave now, so head back to Dew and rest up in the old man's house.
The old man will mention the Dragon Scales now. We'll come back to him with
those as soon as we find them a little later in the game. Now, go to H1 of the
Dew map, and head west to leave Dew.

NOTE: Again, you will appear in Dew with this password, but you'll have
everything collected so far, and you'll also be on level 4.
-----------V1.3 OF THE FAQ ENDS HERE - EVERYTHING BELOW IS FROM V1.0-----------
Right after you enter this forest you'll meet up with Franjean and Rool. Talk
to them and go on. Go north and left and follow the path to a house, where you
can rest and get the Medicinal Herbs. When you're done, head right and then
right again. Follow the path and go right, then north. Here, choose the right
path and keep walking until you come to a rocky part again. Here, you should
go left, then keep going north until you get to another cave.
--------------------
e) Matanda's Cave
Recommended level: 4
Items: Gold Shield, Flame Sword, Dragon Scale, Bracelet
Magic: Ocarina
--------------------
In the first part you can just follow the path. In the second part go south at
the intersection. If you now follow the path, you'll stumble upon the Gold
Shield. Head back to the path and walk directly to the right for a while to
get the Flame Sword. Continue to the right and follow the path to get a Dragon
Scale. Head back to where you found the Flame Sword. From here go north and
right. At the next intersection, go south to meet up with the dragon, Matanda,
who will give you a Bracelet. Head back up and go right at the intersection.
Go in the entrance and follow the path. You'll get to an enemy that blocks
your way. It looks like the ones you met in the forest north of Dew, but he's
much easier to beat. With the Flame Sword equipped, he'll go down in four
blows. You can also walk through him, but that will cost you 40 HP. Anyway,
keep going and you'll meet up with Po, who will give you the magic Ocarina.
This magic allows you to call Po when you're on the world Map (not in a house
or a cave). Then Po can take you to all the places you've been before. Now, go
back to the entrance of the cave. Now, the wall that blocks your path will
disappear. Go to the left and exit the cave.
--------------------
f) Lake Cheef
Recommended level: 4
Items: Devil Eye, Key, Necklace, Seed of Wakka, Dragon Sword, Dragon Shield
Magic: Magic Cane
--------------------
Once you get out of the cave, you'll get the Magic Cane from the fairy
Cherlindrea. Go on. When you get to the screen where the road splits, just
keep walking north. After a while, you'll come across a chest with the Devil
Eye inside. Up north, you'll meet Madmartigan who asks you to find the key to
release him. And as the caring person you are, you will of course do so. Go
all the way west, two screens down, and all the way west again to find the
key. Head back to Madmartigan to get the Necklace. If you go north and follow
the path, you'll get to a tavern where you can rest. When you're done talking,
head back to the forest. When you get to the place you met Madmartigan, head
all the way east, and south to meet Kchil, of the Nail Clan again. Talk to
him, and he'll give you the Wakka Seeds.
Before you go any further, you should level up to at least level 13 in the
forest. For that, you need 39340 EXP. I recommend that you level up on the
egg-shaped enemies. They will hardly get the chance to hurt you, if you're
careful, and with the Devil Eye equipped, they'll go down in two blows. You'll
get 80 EXP from them, which really isn't all that bad for being so easy to
beat. Where you can find them, you ask? From the place where you found
Madmartigan, go all the way left. Two screens south of there, they almost
always appear in pairs. The same with the screen to the left of there. So,
just go back and forth between those two screens. When your HP gets low, use
the Healmace. You'll probably never run out of MP, cause when they're
defeated, they'll drop little green things that will refill 10 of your MP when
you touch them (Healmace costs 20 MP). If your MP still gets low, go rest at
the tavern. It takes a while to reach level 13 but believe me, it's worth it.
Besides, you have to be at level 13 to be able to turn Fin Raziel back to a
human. Just be patient. At least, it's not really hard (just time-consuming
and boring), and the game will be so much easier afterwards.
When you're done, head back to the tavern to rest. Before you go any further,
use the Ocarina to get back to Dew. Here, go to the house where you got healed
the last time you were here. Give the Dragon Scale to the old man and he'll
give you the Dragon Sword and Dragon Armour. Equip them both and 'fly' back to
the tavern. Go inside to refill your MP, then go right and talk to the old
lady. Continue on, and walk over the lake. On the other side, go inside the
cave. Here, you'll meet Fin Raziel. If you're level 13 or higher, you'll be
able to turn her back to human with the Magic Cane you got from Cherlindrea.
Now, you'll be able to defeat the last boss, Bavmorda, with the Magic Cane.
Now, continue north and enter the cave.
--------------------
g) Lake Cheef Cave
Recommended level: 13
Items: Metal Shield, Flute
Magic: Fleet, Renew, Terstorm, Bombard
--------------------
Follow the path and pick up Fleet. This magic allows you to warp out of caves.
Continue on and exit the cave. Go right, and enter the next cave. In here,
follow the path for a while. When you get to the intersection, go right, and
in the first entrance. Inside the next cave, go right at the first
intersection, then south for a while. Go left at first opportunity you get to
do so. Here you'll get the Metal Shield, which you should equip right away. Go
back right, and another screen south, then left to get the Book of Magic
(Renew). Go back right, then two screens up, and all the way right to get the
Demon's Feather (Terstorm). Now, go all the way south and right to enter a new
area. On the bridge, you'll meet Zhena, who will give you her Flute. Enter the
next cave and just follow the path to the next area. Here, go all the way left
and north to get into a boss-fight against Muzh.
#This fight is very easy! When he shoots things at you, don't do anything.
This way you'll be protected from your shield. When he moves around, attack.
You can win this fight without losing any HP!#
After the short scene you'll get the magic Bombard. Exit the cave and follow
the path to the two towers.
--------------------
h) The Two Towers
Recommended level: 13
Items: Blue Crystal, Red Crystal, Crest
Magic: n/a
--------------------
First, go into the middle building and talk to Elora Danan. Now enter the
tower to the right. Just make your way to the top, where you'll meet the
spirit of the skies, who will give you the blue crystal. Now, you can walk all
the way back down or you can use the Fleet magic to warp out. Now, go climb
the western tower. After the two first floors, you should equip the Devileye
to deal with those magic monsters. At the top you'll meet the spirit of the
earth. When you've got the Red Crystal from him, walk out, or warp yourself
out with Fleet. Now, go talk to Elora Danan again to get the Crest of the
Spirits. Now head back to the first entrance to the Lake Cheef Cave, and go
north, past the cave.
--------------------
i) Mountain Maze
Recommended level: 13
Items: Tail Shield
Magic: Specter, Thunder, Healball
--------------------
First, follow the path for a long while. At the first intersection, go south,
then right. Follow the path again, and go right at the intersection to get the
Specter magic. Go back to the last intersection, and go south. Follow the path
to the next intersection. Go south, then right. Follow the path till you get
to a house. Here, you can rest, and you will also get the magic Thunder. Go
north of the house to get Healball. Now, I recommend you level up to level 15,
using the Thunder spell. Just keep close to the house. When you're at level
15, you'll have enough MP to be able to defeat Bavmorda. When you're done, go
right from the house, and go north at the first intersection. Now, ignore
three intersections, and go right at the fourth, then north to get the Tail
Shield. Equip it, and go back south to the last intersection. Here, go south,
then right at the next intersection where that is possible. Ignore the first
intersection and go left at the second. To get over the mouths in the ground,
use the Specter magic to turn yourself into a monster. After a while, you'll
see a cave. Enter it.
--------------------
j) Mountain Cave
Recommended level: 15
Items: Wing Sword, Witch's Shoes
Magic: n/a
--------------------
Go south and right and enter the entrance in the wall to talk to an old man.
Continue right. Ignore two paths south, and take the third one instead. Go
right, then follow the path and go left to get out of the cave. As easy as
that. Here, you don't get much of choice about where to go. Just follow the
path, and go right at the first intersection. When you get to screens with
falling rocks, don't try to just rush through it. Stop for a while and try to
avoid them before going on. When you have walked right at the intersection,
you will see a bridge. You can't get over it now, though, so enter the nearby
cave.
When you have walked right for a couple of screens, you will meet Adik of the
Eagle Clan. He will give you the Wing Sword. It's really weak now, but when
you get to Nockmaar and talk to Abang, he'll turn it into the most powerful
sword in the game! Now, go south, take the second path left and enter the room
where you will meet an old lady. Now, get back out of the cave and back to the
last cave, and talk to the old man again. He will give you the Witch's Shoes.
Now, you'll be able to cross the bridge. On the other side of the bridge, just
follow the path to get to Tir Asleen.
--------------------
k) Tir Asleen
Recommended level: 15
Items: Battle Shield, Wonder Sword, Kaiser Sword, Powder of Unrequited Love,
Fury Shield
Magic: n/a
--------------------
Go a couple of screens to the left, then all the way north, and inside the
house to rest. Then go right and north. You can't get into the castle right
now, so go right instead. Also go right at the next intersection. Follow the
path for a while, go right, and keep following the path until you get to an
old lady. You can just walk through the monsters you meet, and use the
Healball to heal. You can restore your MP when you get back to Tir Asleen
anyway. When you have talked to the woman, head back to Tir Asleen, rest and
enter the castle.
OK, first of all, we'll pick up a couple of items; go two screens right and
two screens south and enter the door. Then enter the next door. From here, go
two screens right and south, and pick up the Battle Shield. Equip it, go all
the way north, then left. Take the third path south, then go left and south
again and pick up the Wonder Sword, which you also should equip. Go all the
way north again, then left. If you take the first path south, you should see a
door. Enter it, and also enter the next door, of course. Now you should go
back out to heal. The entrance is now two screens north, and two screens
right. When that is done walk all the way left from the entrance, then all the
way south, then left. If you didn't go out to heal it's all the way south, and
all the way left. Anyway, talk to Airk to get the Kaiser sword. Just keep the
Wonder Sword equipped, and go through the northern door to start a fight
against Eborsisk.
#Now, this is really easy. Just get up to the side of the boss, and start
hitting him as gets closer to you. When he gets too close, back off for a
while, and avoid his slow-moving flames. He'll go down real quick.#
After this easy fight, go through the northern door, and you'll find yourself
in a dungeon together with Madmartigan. If you step on one particular point on
the floor in the south of the dungeon Franjean and Rool will come to help. The
best way to find the spot, is the walk along the southern wall until you find
it. Franjean and Rool will give you the Powder of Unrequited Love. Step
through the hole in the wall. Now, go all the way south, then all the way
right and enter the door. Walk all the way north to get out of the castle.
Go rest if you need it, then go back to the castle gates. Don't enter the
castle again, but go right. At the next intersection, go left and talk to
Franjean and Rool again. Enter the secret cave. Follow the path and enter the
entrance in the wall. Follow the path and go into the next entrance. Again,
follow the path and enter the first entrance you get to. In here, you will
find the Fury Shield. Equip it, and exit this room. Keep going right and
follow the path (ignore the next entrance) until you get to the exit. From
here, go north (go right at both of the intersections) until you get to
Nockmaar.
--------------------
l) Nockmaar
Recommended level: 15
Items: Nockmaar Key
Magic: n/a
--------------------
When you get here, use the Specter magic and talk to the guard. He will run
off, and you can get in. From the entrance, go all the way left and all the
way south. Talk to Abang, and he'll make the Wing Sword the most powerful
sword in the game! Equip the Wing Sword, and go all the way back to Tir
Asleen. From the Castle gate (outside the castle), head left and follow the
path to a house. Enter it. The old lady will give you the key you need. Now,
go back to Nockmaar, and go to the place Abang was. From here, go right, north
and right again and enter the door. Follow the path and enter the next door as
well. Go all the way north, then right and enter the door. And the next one,
of course. Go right and north to talk to Sorsha and Madmartigan. When they're
done talking, go through the door. Go up and you will get into a fight with
general Kael.
#This fight can get hard if you don't know what to do. You can't just run up
to him and hit him with all you got. You have to be patient. Hit him once then
back off. Wait for him to get done whit his hits. Then you hit him once more
and back off again. Repeat. Whit this strategy, it shouldn't be a problem to
win without even losing one single HP. Oh, and don't try to go behind him, or
to his side. He will run towards you, and he will hit you for sure.#
Walk through the door. From here, follow the path and enter the next door.
Here, go south and left and enter the door. Now, you have to equip the Cane.
From here, you can just follow the path to the last boss, Bavmorda.
#This is pretty though. The Magic Cane is the only attack that will work on
her, so use that. On level 13, you can't miss once. On level 14, you can. On
level 15, you can miss twice, and on level 16, you can afford to miss three
times. Anyway, run around and avoid her and her fire. When she gets close,
shoot at her repeatedly with the Cane, cause she can't get away so easily, if
she is hit. But when you see that she is going to get away, stop shooting so
you won't miss. Repeat.#
After this battle, another battle with Bavmorda will start.
#This is easy. When Bavmorda comes towards you, just hit A repeatedly. She
will keep coming towards you, so if you hit A fast enough, she will be dead
after a few seconds.#
When you have defeated Bavmorda, you have beat the game. Congratulations!
Enjoy the short ending!
