4. STORY, CHARACTERS AND OTHER TIDBITS
--------------------------------------
========
a) Story
========
In the past huge beasts troubled the mankind. These beasts were known as...
dragons. The legend went that only a magic sword of Dragon Valor can slay a
dragon... it was only the legend... but, sometimes the legend can come true...
(Because I intend this walkthru to be spoiler-free (except for Characters
section, where I will mark SPOILER!), I will not include any info on story
progression as you journey thru this adventure - except for what you get to
know in first five minutes of the game...)
=============
b) Characters
=============
Note: This section contains SPOILERS about character cast in Dragon Valor, so
do not read further if you don't want any info on characters.
Further note: Some characters are encountered in more than one storyline. I
will make 2 character bios for such chracters.
1. Clovis
First Dragon Valor you get to control. His motives for slaying dragons feed on
his hatred for dragons, because one of them killed his sister, Elena.
2. Elena
Clovis's sister. Very dear to him, but unfortunately was killed by one of wild
dragons. Her death is one of main motives for Clovis to rid this world of
dragons.
3. Carolina
Inventor girl in Raxis city. Her father was executed by Azale Knights because
he didn't want to create a weapon for them. She meets Clovis after being
rescued from some thugs at Raxis border.
4. Volef
Head of Azale Knights. Keeps Raxis princess Celia in custody for his own
selfish reasons. Volef's power is supposedly fueled by dragon magic.
5. Celia
Raxis's princess. Not really liked by the people because of her personality.
6. Raimun
Power Ranger wannabe. He got his power from renegade dragon, whom is being
followed by Clovis. Raimun built his alchemist tower nearby Raxis Castle,
where he is performing foul experiments.
7. Kodel
Son of Clovis and Carolina. Though taught in swordsmanship, Codel never wanted
to be a dragon slayer. Instead he started to steal pirate's treasures.
8. Robert
Head honcho of one of pirate bands, Fannah's father. Runs into Kodel when he
tried to steal Robert's sword (which in fact belonged to Clovis). What is the
connection between Clovis and Robert?
9. Fannah
Robert's daughter. She's been a prisoner (sorta... I bet Robert was tired of
her yappin') on Robert's ship and resued by Kodel. Is she destined to cross
her way with a Dragon Valor?
10. Gerome
Kodel's adopted son. Taught in swordsmanship by Kodel. He became a famous
thief, until one day he heard of a mysterious cult, who supposedly had much-o
treasure. During his adventure he will meet a woman...
11. Halfas
One of Dahaka's minions. He first met Gerome on Saldo border. Now wants to
test his skills in a battle against Gerome's skills. It seems to me that his
only interest is in finding skilled Dragon Valor who will kill him.
12. Dahaka
Supposedly king of dragons. His minions try to revive him, but what are their
true reasons for even trying to do it? Halfas seems he doesn't care about it,
Krassel is power hungry, Vappula is plain stupid...
13. Sarah
Woman from Village of Magicians. Her village was burnt down by Dahaka Cult.
She was about to be sacrificed, when she was saved by Gerome.
14. Anita
Daughter of Gerome and Sarah. She became an exorcist. She was the best of them
all, until one day she was requested to purge Raxis Castle of the demons.
15. Vappula
One of Dahaka's minions, working together with Halfas and Krassel (at least he
thinks so). When he runs into Dragon Valor, his life is forfeit... but it
isn't Dragon Valor who will judge Vappula's life...
16. Krassel
One of Dahaka's minions. Is his intention of reviving Dahaka only to gain
Dahaka's power all for himself?
17. Calvin
Captain of the ship, on which Phillip works as a sailor.
18. Phillip
Very skilled sailor. One day his ship was attacked by one of dragons. Whilst
battling them, he was pushed into the sea. He washed up on island named Paley,
where his destiny as Dragon Valor will be shaped...
19. Jeanne
Route 1 bio:
Princess of Jirat. She was used as a bate by Zomas, so that Zomas could obtain
magic sword Azos. After this event kingdom of Jirat was troubled by demons, so
Jeanne sets out to find another magic sword...
Route 2 bio:
Princess of Jirat. Her kingdom is attacked by a dragon. Only weapon effective
against the dragon is a magic sword, therefore she sets out to find one. Will
she be lucky on Paley Island?
20. Vilherm
Route 1 bio:
Jeanne's trusted knight. Aids Felippe in search for a magic sword.
Route 2 bio:
Jeanne's trusted knight. Aids her in search for a magic sword.
21. Maseo
Village chief in Village of Shamans. His role was to tell Phillip of how
Dragon Valors and magic swords are connected...
22. Mihael
Route 1 bio:
After his sister mysteriously disappears, Mihael firmly decides to find her.
During his travels he hears rumors about a mysterious person appearing near
the ruined Raxis castle...
Route 2 bio:
Anna's twin brother, child of Phillip and Jeanne. They were living in peace,
until one day magic sword Azos was stolen. Mihael sets out on a search for
stolen sword together with Vilherm...
23. Anna
Route 1 bio:
One day Anna and Vilherm go on a search for another magic sword. They heard
rumors about a magic sword being buried in Saldo ruins...
Route 2 bio:
Mihael's twin sister. After not receiving any news about her brother, she sets
out to find him. Will she succeed in her quest?
24. Grusamseus
Strange sorcerer living in Verea city. Would like to join Dahaka's side, but
he needs to prove himself first. A magic sword would be perfect...
25. Arlen
His mother Celia is kidnapped by a mysterious black knight from Alkemia
kingdom. He sets out on a search to rescue her from certain doom.
26. Lodonya
Volef's son. Clovis was responsible for Volef's death, therefore Lodonya seeks
revenge. Death of Clovis' son Arlen would be sufficient to satisfy Lodonya's
thirst for revenge.
27. Shalya
Leader of West Raxis Liberation Army. She rescued Arlen when he fell from a
high cliff. Has a plan on how to rescue Arlen's mother, Celia.
28. Franco
One of Shalya's sidekicks.
29. Simon
One of Shalya's sidekicks.
30. Zomas
Minister of Jirat. His greed to become dragon halfling led him to perform
unspeakable act: using princess Jeanne as bait he obtained magic sword, which
he handed over to Krassel. But will Krassel keep his promise?
31. Felippe
Entered Jirat's competition in swordsmanship to find a swordsman equal in
skills. Sacrificed his magic sword to rescue Jeanne's life. He is now
searching for his lost sword, but will he succeed?
=============================
c) Controlling your character
=============================
I. First, let's take a look at controls...
1. Directional buttons: Move character left, right, up, down. Also used for
directing your jumps. Moves the cursor in Status screen.
2. Square button: Press this button to swing your sword. Press the button 3
times for 3 consecutive slashes. Confirms your choices in Status screen.
3. X button: Used for jumping. The longer you keep button pressed, the higher
you will jump. While in midair, press X button again to perform 2xjump. Also
used for confirming your choices in Status screen and confirming your
responses in dialogues.
4. Circle button: Used for Magic attacks. While in Status screen, press this
button to return to game screen.
5. Triangle button: Used to access Status screen.
6 . L1/L2 buttons: Hold either one down while pressing directional buttons to
dash.
7. R1/R2 buttons: Hold either one down while pressing directional buttons to
crouch and move while crouching.
8. No button input: Your character will guard against physical attacks from
front. Character cannot guard against magic attacks, special attacks and
physical attacks from behind.
II. Sword (and other) Techniques
1. Sword Swing(s)
Press Square button once to swing your sword. Press Square button up to 3
times for 3 consecutive blows.
2. Charged Sword Swing
Hold Square button for a second. Your sword will start to glow. Release Square
button for a powerful Charged Sword Swing. Different characters may have
different Charged Sword Technique.
3. Jumping Slash
Press X button to jump. While in midair, press X button again to perform
2xjump. Anytime during the jump you can press Square button to perform Jumping
Slash.
4. Upward Stab
Press either R1/R2 to crouch. Wait for the enemy to get close. Press X button
to perform Upward Slash. This technique is especially useful against flying
enemies.
5. Hammer Blow No. 1
Press X button to jump. While in midair, press either R1/R2 to have your
character strike the ground with sword placed horizontally.
6. Hammer Blow No. 2
Press X button twice to 2xjump. While in midair, press either R1/R2 to strike
the ground with your sword placed vertically. When the strike lands, you will
release a small circular shockwave, damaging nearby enmies.
7. Single or Double Slash, followed by Forward Slash
Press Square button once (or twice) to perform single (or double) slash.
Whilst your character is in motion of swinging the sword for first (or second)
slash, press either L1/L2 button and press Square button again to finish this
Sword Technique with Forward Slash.
8. Single or Double Slash, followed by Upward Slash
Press Square button once (or twice) to perform single (or double) slash.
Whilst your character is in motion of swinging the sword for first (or second)
slash, press either R1/R2 button and press Square button again to finish this
Sword Technique with Upward Slash.
9. Backflip (2xBackflip)
In case you're chopping up some enemies, but need to get away quickly, do the
following: Press Square button once (or twice) to do Single (or Double) Slash,
but then press X button to perform a Backflip, which will take you out of
harms way. During a Backflip you're invincible. Backflip can be turned into
2xBackflip if you press X button for second time.
10. Single or Double Slash -> Backflip -> Jumpkick combo
Press Square button once or twice to perform Single/Double Slash. Immediately
press X button only *once* to perform Backflip. While backflipping press
Square button and your character will perform a Jumpkick when character comes
out of Backflip motion.
11. Mowing Slash
Press R1/R2 to crouch. Press Square button to swing your sword very close to
the ground, so called Mowing Slash. Useful for enemies that are very small
(for example, Eyefuls and Starfish).
12. 'Go away' Slash
Press R1/R2 to crouch. Hold directional button so that you will face your
enemy. While crouching and holding directional button press Square button to
swing your sword upwards. This will knock your enemy off feet and send him to
the ground few feet away from you.
13. 'Poor' Slash
Sometimes you'll get fatigued (you will know this by your character who will
be kneeling and moving really slow). During this time all you can do is a
Single Slash by pressing Square button.
14. Dashing Slash
Press either L1/L2 to dash. While dashing, press Square button once to perform
Dashing Slash.
15. Forward Thrust
Press either L1/L2 to dash. While dashing, press either R1/R2 to perform
Forward Thrust.
16. Special Sword Technique
Be careful with this. By pressing Square and X buttons at the same time your
character will perform Special Sword Technique (one full circle single sword
slash, followed by an upward stab). Although powerful, this technique has two
disadvantages:
- it eats up five HP
- your character is fatigued for a while
17. Guarding
Face your enemy. Do not press any buttons. If enemy attacks you physically,
your character will guard.
Attacks you cannot guard against:
- physical attacks from behind
- magical attacks of any sort
==================================================================
d) Title / Game / Status / Map / Save / Game Over / Gallery Screen
==================================================================
I. Title Screen
You can watch intro movie or press Start to skip it. You will land in Title
Screen. You have following options:
1. New Game
Select this option to start a new game.
2. Load Game
Select this option to load previously saved game.
3. Configuration
Select this option to set the game options, which are: Controller Setup,
Adjust Screen and Audio Setup.
II. Game Screen
Let's explain how you should treat Game Screen.
1. In upper left corner you'll see a black box, which is empty for now. When
you obtain magic tomes (to be able to cast magic), it is here where your
chosen magic will be shown. You can only use one magic at a time.
2. To the right are HP and MP gauges. HP gauge decreases as you take damage.
MP gauge decreases as you cast magic spells. Increase the gauges by picking up
(or buying in some cases) correspondent vials: health potions for HP and magic
potions for MP.
You can also *increase* MAX HP/MP by finding (or buying in some cases) items
that increase the amount of MAX HP/MP.
3. In upper right corner there is another black box which pops up every time
you pick up an item, be it money, vials, whatever.
4. As you're fighting your enemies, you can see how much energy they have
remaining by looking at the health bar in the lower left corner. When the
health bar of an enemy is empty, that enemy is dead.
5. And lastly, sometimes you will see a black box showing info on number of
enemies. This signifies that you have to kill that many enemies in order to be
able to proceed to the next room.
III. Status Screen
1. In upper left corner you will see a black box where your selected magic is
displayed.
2. To the right are HP/MP gauges.

g) Enemies
==========
Short overview of what info you will be able to read in an enemy description:
- enemy name
- few words on its outside appearance and equipped weapon (if applicable)
- moving speed (may be stationary)
- special abilities the enemy may possess (undead, flying/floating, cloaking,
jumping, small...)
- few words on attacks this enemy is cabable of
- can enemy guard?
- can enemy attacks be guarded (Ones that can't be will be mentioned)?
- few words on easiest way to kill this enemy
Note: Some enemies have upgraded versions which you will encounter in later
chapters. Usually they only differ in color and having more health. Such
upgraded enemies won't be described, but those that come with new forms of
attacks will be.
1. Orc - enemy armed with wooden bat. Slow. Half the time he'll spend looking
around where you are. Can try to hit you with wooden bat. Can do jump&punch
attack. Can't guard. Can be guarded against. Simply run up to him and chop
himp up.
2. Bat - small but annoying. Flying. Moderately fast. They like to swoop down
at you and bite you. Can't guard. Can be guarded against. Guard and wait until
he tries to bite you. You will guard this attack. When bat tries to get away,
quickly perform Upward Slash to get rid of him. Jumping Slashes may also do
the work.
3. Tentacle Plant - green plant with 4 tentacles. Can't move. Don't try to
jump over this enemy. It will hurt you, since Tentacle Plant can swing its
tentacles in the air too. Can't guard. Can be guarded against. Wait for
Tentacle Plant to try to attack you (make sure you're out of tentacles's
reach). After the hopefully failed attack Tentacle Plant is doomed, so kill
it.
4. Will-O'-The-Wisp - small red bubble-like enemy. When you move, he moves -
toward you. If he gets too close, he'll shrink and then double in size. Can't
guard. Can be guarded against. Move so that he comes really close, then kill
it.
5. Cerberus - annoying dog enemy. Fast. Like his name applies, he can breath
fire.:) Can't guard. Can be guarded against (can't guard his fireball!). Dodge
or guard his jumping attacks he launches at you and while he shows you his
back, run up to him and kill him. Watch out for fire breath though.
6. Archer - human enemy armed with a bow. He moves really slowly, but can
shoot arrows at you from a distance. Can't guard. Can be guarded against. Run
up to him, watching out for his arrows and chop him up.
7. Warrior - human enemy armed with double axes. Slow; fast if he tries to ram
you. He can try to chop you up. He is also capable of bashing into you (he may
either take a few steps back and then bash you; or may try bashing you
straight away). Can evade. Can't guard. Can be guarded against. Guard his
attack and then attack him.
8. Skeleton - pile of bones that came to life. Armed with a bone... talk about
original.:) Undead. Slow. His only attack is striking you with your bone.
Can't guard. Can be guarded against. He cannot be killed with your sword. He
can only be killed by Lv 2 or Lv 3 Heal magic (however, you can disable him by
striking him with strong attack like Hammer Blow, so he falls to the ground;
he will get back up after few seconds tho').
9. Rhinoid - rhino wearing armour and armed with an axe. Slow; fast when
trying to ram you. He can ram you (either by taking few steps back or straight
away). He can try to chop you up. Has an annoying ability of guarding your

then attack you with quick stab. Can guard. Can be guarded against. Guard his
attack and then attack him.
13. Catapult Orc - your average Orc, except this one is armed with a
slingshot. Moderately fast. Uh, don't get me wrong, but it seems to me that
they're shooting air, when they release the string on slingshot. Glitch?
Anyway, this makes them easiest enemies by far. Can't guard. Can be guarded
against. Simply run up to him and chop him up.
14. Eyeful - amoeba with nucleus in the middle. Slow; fast at lunging at you.
Usually he comes in large groups. He can only lunge at you in order to harm
you. Can't guard. Can't be guarded against. Easiest way to dispose them is to
do Hammer Blows, preferably the one which ends with shockwave.
15. Flying Fish - fish that flies (kinda). Has fixed jumping path. It can only
hurt you if you're unfortunate enough to stand in its way. Can't guard. Can be
guarded against. Single slash will send this enemy to meet his maker.
16. Giant Crab - crab, big crab. Moves at moderate speed. Attacks you either

and then make short work of him by Hammer Blows.
25. Cave Slug - slug living in caves... I know, lack of imagination.:) Because

guard. Can be guarded against. Guard his attack and then make short work of
him by Hammer Blows.
26. Zombie - dead corpse that came to life.:) He comes out of the ground when

body will fall of and will be forced to crawl. Can still launch himself onto
you (will cause fatigue). Use Hammer Blows to get rid of him should he reach
this state. Can't guard. Can't be guarded against. Since he moves so slow,
shouldn't be a problem to get rid of him with efficient use of Hammer Blows.
27. Rock Demon - living pile of rocks. Slow. Mainly uses his hands to attack.
Knows left punch, right punch and punch using both arms. Can only be harmed
with advanced sword techniques (Hammer Blow being the most efficient). After
he is dealt damage, he can do rather long jump in your direction and if it

==========
h) Hazards
==========
1. Spike - usually you can tell where they are by holes in the ground. They
come out at timed intervals. First only tips will appear for a brief moment
letting you know to get away, and then whole spike bed. If you're still in the
middle, ouch!
2. Sensor Spike - same as the above, except that they come out when you get
close.
3. Spike wall - small brick with spikes with a set course of movement. First
it will move back a little and then come 'driving' in your direction at full
speed. Jump over it or stay away from its path.
4. Arrow turret - turret that shoots arrows. Can move its upper part to track
your location. Before arrow is fired, turret will flash for a brief moment.
Jump over the arrow or guard it. You can jump *on* Arrow turret.
5. Lava pool - pool filled with red hot lava. Walking in it too long is not
good for your health.
6. Poison pool - pool filled with green slimy poison. Walking in it for too
long is bad for your health.
7. Poison mushroom - you can find these lying around in many rooms. If you
accidentally pick it up, it will cause fatigue, you will lose 5 HP, but gain 2
MP.
8. Flame geyser - spits out fire at regular intervals. Before it starts, small
flame will erupt from one such geyser, alerting you. They come in wall and
floor flavors.
9. Bomb - regular bomb at your disposal:). Blow it up by your Mine magic,
hitting it with your sword or walking near it and quickly getting away.
10. Flame platform - platform caught on fire. Don't jump on one straight away.
Freeze it first with Ice magic.
11. Falling pillar - easily recognizable hazard, cos it usually stands out of
the scenery. It will attempt to fall on your head as you pass by. To not let
this happen, get close to it and it will fall down without harming you.
12. Fake door - if you stand in front of it, suddenly door will open and big
hand will grab you and return you to start of the dungeon (Wallmasters from
Zelda, anyone:)?).
13. Propeller - blows wind in strong gusts. Whilst wind gusts itself aren't
dangerous, don't touch the propellers as they will hurt you.
14. Grinder - a pole on which two saws are fitted, which move in clockwise
motion. Touch it and you will take damage.
15. Falling spike - spikes mounted on a chunk of wall that come crashing down
on bypassers. You can anticipate when Falling spike hazard is nearby when you
see pebbles falling down. Quickly duck and you won't take damage. You can move
while crouching under Falling spike.

5. WALKTHROUGH
--------------
---> Explaining the Search option
This walkthru will be big. So how can you find info on a specific dungeon
without scrolling endlessly thru this document?
For example, let's say you'd like info on 'The Ruins of Paley' dungeon, which
can be found in route 2 section. So what do you do?
Firts take a look at Table of Contents and look for Walkthrough entry. Find
route 2 you're interested in and then look for the name of desired dungeon.
See those four characters in front of dungeon's name? In this case they are
B036.
Now press CTRL + F at the same time. When prompted, enter B036 and then press
enter key. You will be instantly taken to that part of walkthru.
---> Important note!
Many rooms in this game are simply go from left/right to right/left, therefore
I will not go into specifics. However, I will be more detailed about the rooms
that have puzzles to be solved or have multiple levels. In both cases I will
name enemies you can meet in a certain room and what loot you can collect in a
particular room (minus loot that the enemies drop, cos that kind of loot
varies). So how to read Walkthru section?
- on top of particular dungeon walkthru will be name of that dungeon
- then I will mark separate rooms as 'screens' (shortened to s.); most
dungeons are straightforward, so rooms will go in nice and easy numbered
manner; but in cases this isn't possible (like when room has more exits) I
made necessary changes to the name of that room, so that you will always be
able to know where you currently are.
- after name of the room there will be info on what you must do; again, type
of available info will vary based on:
--> if there are only enemies and/or hazards in the room and *nothing else*
(this invilving jumping, pressing switches etc.), I will only mention which
enemies and/or hazards can be found in this room
a) if it's written 'Kill ?????', that means you don't have to kill those
enemies
b) if it's written 'Must kill ?????' that means you must clean the room of all
oposition (not true in some cases - they are mentioned in walkthru)
--> if you'll have to jump somewhere, press the switch etc., this will be
explained in the walkthru
- and on the end of the particular room you will be able to read what stuff
can be found in that room - minus stuff that enemies drop, cos that kind of
stuff varies from game to game
- when there is boss fight ahead, in the walkthru you will find name of the
boss, boss' attacks and boss strategy
- in a case of shop all available listings will be written (trader can sell,
buy or trade items); recommended buys are marked 'Get this!!'
- OK, that's about it... so go on and enjoy!:)

BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'RAGE'
Boss attacks:
1. If you see Rage lift his head and cry out, be ready to jump, cos he will
send out a circular shockwave.
2. If you find yourself close to Rage, he may try to hit you with his
headswipe from right to left. Evade this by jumping over his head or
retreating out of danger range.
3. Sometimes he decides to fly around a bit. Be careful, because he may try to
land on you. When he finally lands, be ready to jump because of a circular
shockwave that Rage will create when he lands.
4. When low on health, he will start to breathe fire, which hurts if you're
hit. Best thing you can do to avoid this is to run to either side of Rage if
you can. Otherwise, make use of 2xjumps.
Note: When Rage is about to perform any of these four attacks, he is
*invincible*. You cannot harm him in any way.
Boss strategy:
It's a pretty basic dragon for a start. He will start the battle by walking
towards you or retreating a few steps. Run up to him and land a few slices
into his skin, then retreat because he may counter with head swipe. Don't
worry, if you touch him accidentally, he will not harm you - except when he
performs his head swipe.
When he tries to hit you with shockwave, you can easily expect this. Rage will
start to flash, lift his head, wave it a bit, let out a cry and then the
shockwave. Jump over the shockwave and hit Rage with jumping slash.
Watch out for his flying trips, both because he may try to land on you or
(when he lands) hit you with a shockwave.
Sometimes he may drop to the floor - cos he is tired:)? Use this chance to hit
him with a 3xhit sword combo.
When his health drops below 40% or so, he will start breathing fire. Run to
the side of Rage or (in case this isn't possible) 2xjump.
You can also try to hit him with a fireball.:) Despite both Rage and fireball
being of fire nature, fireball will hurt Rage.
For the fastest disposal of Rage perform jumping slashes at Rage's head. After
7 or 8 hits he goes down. Be careful tho, cos he likes to counterattack with
fire breath.
3rd s.: Kill 4x Orc. You will come out thru west entrance. South entrance is
currently locked. North entrance is accessible, but there are 3x Spike in the

then on the ledge to collect loot.

1x S magic, 13x val.
4th s.: Must kill 5x Will-O'-The-Wisp and 1x Lizardman. Get rid of red balls

fence on lower part of the screen. Remember, always check everywhere on every
screen!

middle of the room. Take the east exit.
1x Chalice, 1x Pendant, 1x val.
East exit, 1st s.: Absolutely choose to destroy the door. This choice is
necessary to make in order for this story to proceed in right direction (also
see Note 2!).
1x Pendant, 2x val.
North exit, 1st s.: Must kill 2x Knight and 2x Royal Archer.
1x S health, 1x S magic, 2x val.
Boss attacks:
1. He may dash at you and try to hit you with dashing punch (he is very
vulnerable after this attack, cos he must 'catch his breath':)).
2. If you're close to him, he may swing his right arm in order to hit you.
3. If he guards your attacks, get away because he may power up his right arm,
which can be extended quite a bit in order to hit you (you will know this by
flames coming out of his right arm).
4. Don't jump on him face-to-face, because he may knock you down with his
right arm swing.
Boss strategy:
This boss is really easy. Stay away from him at a moderate distance and wait
for him to do a dashing punch. When he get close, 2xjump over him so his
attack misses and then attack him from the back. Rinse and repeat and you win.
Easier strategy: Stay at a moderate distance and fireball him to death. He
should not even touch you.
Note 1: You get here by south exit if you take route 007.
Note 2: SPOILER: Here's first important decision, which decides how the story
will go on.
- If you choose to knock the door down, you will meet Raxis princess. After
Chapter 1 comes to an end, Clovis will marry Raxis Princess.
- If you choose to ignore the door, Clovis will marry Carolina, after chapter
1 comes to an end.
1st s.: Must kill 3x Knight and 2x Royal Archer to get the key. Then collect

room.

Mask, 1x Gold key.

walkthru part 008. Only this time west exit is locked (you get thru west exit
if you took the underground passage path). East exit still leads to the same
room as before, as well as north exit. But for now collect the loot in this
room. Beware of 4x Arrow turret. Then take east exit.
12x val.
East exit, 1st s.: Absolutely choose to destroy the door. This choice is
necessary to make in order for this story to proceed in right direction.
1x val, 1x health.
North exit, 1st s.: Must kill 2x Knight and 2x Royal Archer.
1x S health, 1x S magic, 2x val

vulnerable after this attack, cos he must 'catch his breath':)).
2. If you're close to him, he may swing his right arm in order to hit you.
3. If he guards your attacks, get away because he may power up his right arm,
which can be extended quite a bit in order to hit you (you will know this by
flames coming out of his right arm).
4. Don't jump on him face-to-face, because he may knock you down with his
right arm swing.
Boss strategy:
This boss is really easy. Stay away from him at a moderate distance and wait
for him to do a dashing punch. When he get close, 2xjump over him so his
attack misses and then attack him from the back. Rinse and repeat and you win.
Easier strategy: Stay at a moderate distance and fireball him to death. He
should not even touch you.
2nd s.: Spikes hazard. Kill 3x Will-O'-The-Wisp and 1x Imperial Guard.
1x val.
3rd s.: Wow, a tower, no kiddin'.:) Fip all the levers except yellow one (this

1x S magic, 1x S health.
5th s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: POWER R... RAIMUN
Boss attacks:
1. He knows dashing slash.
2. He knows single / double / triple slash.
3. He frequently throws explosive bombs.
4. He frequently throws poison bombs (causes fatigue).
5. He can guard.
6. When he gets up and if you're close to him, can do swift swipe at you,
which you can't guard against.
Boss strategy:
It's morphin' time!:) Raimun is little harder. Always be on the move, you
never know when he's gonna shower you with those stupid bombs. Jump in such
manner that you will land near him, and then let him have it.
Sometimes he seems to have run out of bombs and will run up to some shelves of
sorts to restock ---> free attack for you from behind.:)
Sometimes you'll see Raimun's sword on fire. Be ready to jump cos Raimun will
perform Dashing Slash. After it fails (hopefully), he's open to your attack.
Follow the above tips and you will win easily.
Yellow Tome: Lv 1 Defense magic.
1st s.: Return a bit to right for some loot. Go down the stairs and pull the
block on the switch.
4x val.
2nd s.: Nothing. Check behind the stone.
10x val.
3rd s.: 6x Skeleton and 6x Ghoul - none can be killed yet. Instead just go all
the way left. Check every nook you come across for loot and beware of 4x Spkie
wall hazards.
3x val, 1x Chalice, 1x magic, 1x Pendant
4th s.: You will enter from east. There are three exits on north. First enter
the right one, which is the only one open.

off the right switch. Pull left block on the left switch. This will open left
exit.

block on the right switch. This will open middle exit.
1x Lithograph, 1x S health, 1x magic.
Middle north exit: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: VOLEF (REVIVED)
Boss attacks:
1. He can launch single energy ball from his right arm.
2. He can run up to you and perform flying drill attack (?)... looks kinda
like Bison's Psycho Crusher move:). After this attack Volef will be unable to
move temporarily.
3. If you're close to him, he'll try to punch you with his right arm.
4. He can also perform a spin attack of sorts, usually after he picks himself
up from the floor.
5. He can guard.
Boss strategy:
Same stupid Volef as before. Stay away from him at a moderate distance, but
keep moving (he will try to shoot you with his energy balls!). When Volef
finally moves in for his flying drill attack, 2xjump over Volef. When Volef
lands, he's open to your attack. Attack him from behind with Triple Slash.
Then move away at a moderate distance... Rinse and repeat and victory is
yours.
Grey Tome: Lv 1 Stealth magic
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'TITAN'
Boss attacks:
1. He can lift his head, then he will cry out and try to hit you with circular
shockwave.
2. If you're close, he'll try to hit you with a head swing.
3. He can spit out 3 fireball bombs, first being the closest and last being
the farthest (in distance); after they explode stay away from the place of
explosion for a while.
4. He can try to jump on you; if this misses, be ready to jump because of
circular shockwave.
5. He can spit out a really fast fireball which flies in a straight line.
6. He can stand on his hind legs, doing so enables him a new attack - if
you're close, he will try a quick advance toward you which he finishes with a
powerful bite; during standing he can also perform attacks 1, 3 and 5.
Boss strategy:
Titan is harder than his predecessor. Always be on the move, and try to learn
Titan's signs to predict his attacks. Attacking his head only doesn't work
anymore. It will have to get personal. Start the fight by running close to him
and doing Jumping Slash, then get away. He's likely to retaliate by reating a
shockwave or headswing. If he tries attack his fast fireball spit, good luck
in evading it. His jumps at you seem to be the rarest. 3 fireball bombs attack
is easy to avoid (unless you're close to Titan, in which case first fireball
bomb might hit you). After 3 or so Jumping Slashes he will collapse, giving
you a free attack. Use the chance! Repeat this recipe until Titan stands on
his hind legs. Watch out for his quick charge&bite attacks against you.
Continue your previous technique and Titan will soon go down.
Useful tip: His weak spot is his tail. You can deal him critical damage if you
hit his tail successfully (for example when Titan is fatigued).
3rd s., lower level: North doors on upper level are locked. See two pillars?
Push/pull them in middle of the room. Then collect what you can and take

3x val.
5th s.: Smash 3x crate. Jump on ledges in far right corner and make your way

1x Lithograph, 1x health, 12x val, 1x magic.
3rd s., upper level: You're on the bridge. Just go across it for now.
Upper level loot: 1x val.
7th s.: Kill 6x Bat.

7th s.: Must kill 2x Lizardman.
1x health, 1x S magic.
Boss attacks:
Note: He will alternate between Ice and Fire magic.
When using Fire magic:
1. If you get close to him, he can swing his right arm to fire you up.
2. Can conjure 3 fireballs at once. Middle fireball will fly into yor
diection, while 2 other fireballs will home in on you after a while.
3. Before switching to Ice magic, he will stop and start throwing multiple
fireballs at you, their numbers increasing as Magic Knight takes more damage.
4. Can do a backflip; if you follow him, he may end it with fire swipe in your
direction.
When using Ice magic:
5. If you get close to him, he can swing his right arm to freeze you.
6. Can conjure 3 ice shards at once. Middle shard will fly in your direction,
while other two will fly in straight line (approx.
7. Before switching to Fire magic, he will stop and start throwing multiple
ice shards at you, their numbers increasing as Magic Knight takes more damage.
8. Can do a backflip; if you follow him, he may end it with ice swipe in your
direction.
Boss strategy:
This boss is not so hard, but battle may take long cos of Knight's high
defense. To win quickly, I suggest the following:
Run up to him and slice him up. Repeat this once more and then be on the
lookout. Slicing him for third time can be difficult, cos boss may decide to
go into flurry of magic attacks before switching magic type; or he will
backflip out of sword range. In any case, once he switches magic type, he is
open to one or two easy-to-finish Triple Slashes.
Be wary of his magic, especially triple fireballs, where two side fireballs
home in on your position.
Don't let him stand close to you for too long or he will swing his arm at you.
Basically, triple slash him once or twice, wait for him to switch magic type
and then repeat.
3rd s.: Beware 4x arrow turret. Step on three switches for key to appear.
1x Gold key, 1x S magic.

sensor spike and 1x spike combo. And lastly, beware 1x spike.

5x val, 1x Magic Power vial.
7th s.: 19x val.
8th s.: Must kill 3x Ninja and 1x Royal Archer.
Violet Tome: Lv 1 Vortex magic.
2nd s.: Kill 3x Demon Armor first and collect what you can. Then jump over the
ledges to the exit, but beware of 2x spike.
12x val, 1x Pendant, 1x Chalice, 1x health.
3rd s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: LODONYA
Boss attacks:
1. If you're not very close, he can do dashing stab.
2. Can use Ice magic, which will cause 7 ice clouds to appear at fixed places
on battlefield.
3. Can guard.
4. If he guards, he may counterattack with quick stab.
5. When duking it out up close, he can perform 2-stage stab.
Boss strategy:
Most of the time he will be running around, trying to dash-stab you. Guard
this and then Hammer Blow him for easy defeat.
Ice clouds always appear at set locaions, so if you know where they appear,
more kudos to you.
Do not engage in man-to-man combat too often, cos Lodonya is quite good at
blocking your attacks and counterattacking you. Once Lodonya is defeated, this
dungeon continues.
4th s.: Go north when you come to an intersection. Beware 1x falling pillar.
South exit, 2nd s.: You can jump in the pits for some good loot, but be
careful of spikes. From start they go as following: 1x sensor spike, 1x spike,
2x sensor spike, 1x spike.
5x val, 1x S magic, 1x Health vial.
South exit, 3rd s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'ARKTOS'
Boss attacks:
Note: He can come out of the water in 3 different places: north corner,
nortwest corner, southeast corner. Arktos will switch places after he has
taken some damage or after some time has elapsed.
1. When he comes out of the water, he may come down and cover the battlefield
with his freeze breath.
2. At start of the battle and afterwards (when he's out of the water), he can
cause 5 ice chunks to come crashing down (you will see their shadows).
3. Can try to hit you with his long neck, with which he will sweep over the
battlefield.
4. You may get frozen if you touch his body.
5. When Arktos starts to cry out, be ready to jump. He will spit out several
ice shards which will come flying in your direction.
Boss strategy:
Stand in whichever corner he comes out of so that you will under Arktos' head.
You will be safe from his freeze breath attack. Then return to middle of ice
platform and select Fire magic. Aim in direction of Arktos' neck and fire! If
you hit him, Arktos takes damage and will come crashing down for you to attack
him with your sword. Do so! Repeat this until Arktos croaks.
Falling ice chunks and spitting ice shards attacks can be easily avoided if
you're standing in middle of ice platform. If you run out of MP, you have two
options – you can either wait for Arktos to come falling down as sign of his
fatigue, or collect small Magic potions which occassionally appear after
falling ice chunks attack.
In any case, Arktos should not be too difficult boss.
Blue Tome: Lv 2 Ice magic.
Chapter 2: The Renegade Knights comes to an end...
Boss attacks:
1. Knows single/double slash.
2. Can guard.
3. Has evasive jump.
4. Can use Wind magic.
5. Knows Hammer Blow type attack.
Boss strategy:
Note: Don't do 2x jumps! There are spikes at the ceiling which will hurt you.
Vilherm is a slowpoke. This fight is really easy. Just run up to him and
attack him. Don't give him time to breathe! Once Vilherm's health is in range
below 50%, screen will go white. Don't worry tho', this is supposed to happen.

BOSS FIGHT: ZOMAS
Boss attacks:
Note: Zomas can only be attacked once four floating blue balls have been
destroyed.
1. If left alone for too long, four balls will stop, flash for while and then
release electric shock. This is their attack at start of battle.
2. Once Zomas' health is at 60% or close to it, four balls gain new attack.
When they appear, they will flash for a while; stay away cos they will
electrically charge themselves and you don't want to touch them. They will
make bigger circles until the point when they will fly out in one corner of
the room; if one or more balls is destroyed, then you get to deal with four
minus destroyed balls. Stand at the sides of the room (not in the corner!) and
you won't even be touched.
3. Once Zomas' health is at 25% or close to it, four balls gain new attack.
This time when they appear, they won't move at all. Always be on the move
during this period cos they will come flying in your direction one by one; if
one or more balls is destroyed, then you get to deal with four minus destroyed
balls. Keep running in circles round Zomas, timing your jumps over the balls
which come in your direction.
4. Don't run under Zomas or you'll be hurt by the 'gas' Zomas' health ball is
releasing.
5. While Zomas' energy is being replenished by health ball found above Zomas,
he can attack you with magic spell sent at your current position.
Boss strategy:
Don't be running inside the circle four balls are 'creating', so that you
won't be hit too often by Zomas'. Also health ball hovering above Zomas can't
be destroyed. Now on to info to kick Zomas' ass...
Destroy four balls circling around Zomas. This will cause Zomas to fall down.
Run to where he landed and attack him. After this he will attempt to get away,
but you have enough time to attack him again. After this Zomas will fade away.
When he reappears, he will create another 4 balls, which must be destroyed to
be able to attack Zomas again. (stpil iyntfiin... From beginning read every
second character. If the name you get isn't the same as the one this document
is credited to, it's a steal of my work. Inform me, please) At the same time
health ball will be slowly regenerating Zomas' health, so it's in your best
interest to destroy them ASAP. For info on balls' attacks and how to avoid
them, check Boss attacks section for Zomas.
Keep destroying four balls and Zomas will fade away for good.

BOSS FIGHT: ZOMAS
Boss attacks:
1. When Zomas' dragon head is lowered, he will throw three claws
consecutively. These are slow at first, but they home in on your position.
When they 'locate' you, they will gain in speed. Zomas may use this attack up
to three times.
2. When Zomas' dragon head is lifted, he will create some type of vortex,
which will attempt to draw you close. Run away from it, but be ready to jump
cos after three second it will be released with great speed in your direction.
3. After Zomas' human head is dealt damage, dragon head may decide to heal.
it. After this is done, dragon head will be lowered and Zomas will now be
using claws attacks.
Boss strategy:
When battle starts, stand as far away as you can to avoid Zomas' claws. When
Zomas' dragon head is lifted, human head appears, and Zomas is now vulnerable.
Run up to him and Triple Slash him. Then run to left or right side of Zomas,
so that you will be able to jump over that vortex ball Zomas will create.
After vortex ball is gone, human head can be attacked again.
You can do this up to three times, before dragon head heals human head. With
healing en-route, return to lower part of the screen to avoid Zomas' flurry of
claws. When dragon head is lifted, human head can be attacked... Rinse and
repeat.
Green Tome: Lv 2 Heal magic.
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'TEMPEST'
Boss attacks:
Note: Don't be pushed into Posion pool surrounding the battlefield too often!
1. Can spit sonic waves at you, which will cause fatigue.
2. Will flap his wings to cause wind gusts to push you into poison pool.
3. Will cry out as a sign of upcoming circular shockwave.
4. Can fly up and while in flight he wil cry out; Tempest will then attempt to
land on you, if it fails, he will slam the ground for a shockwave. He will
repeat this up to two times.
5. Sometimes he will flap his wings to create wind gusts to push you into
poison, but can also spit sonic waves at you.
6. Sometimes when he decides to fly up, instead of trying to land on you, he
will attempt to hit you with sonic waves. Whether these waves hit you or not,
Tempest will drop down to slam the ground for a shockwave.
Boss strategy:
Try to be behind Tempest's back all the time if you can. He has no protection
against backattacks except from shockwave, which you can easily anticipate.
And his flap attacks will also miss you. So keep Triple Slashing him as often
as you can.
During his aerial raids make sure that you're not under him when he is about
to land.
If you're caught in flap attacks, keep running in Tempest's direction. Flap
attacks get stronger, less health Tempest has. This also means you will have
more trouble not to be pushed into poison.
Tempest's sonic wave attack is a pain to be avoided, but you won't have to
deal with them if you're behind Tempest; or in case of his flying sonic wave
attack be under him.
Unfortunately I don't have any easy strategy for this boss apart from info I
have provided. I did notice one thing, tho': Sometimes I've been able to deal
critical damage to Tempest's wings, which flashed red. I have no clue what to
do for this to happen. Plain luck, I guess.

BOSS FIGHT: VAPPULA
Boss attacks:
Note: there are 3x spike scattered over the battlefield, so take care!
1. If you're in front of him, he will burp out some poison pollen (will cause
fatigue). He'll also do that if you attack him face to face.
2. Can bounce you back if you attack him face to face (you have to attack him
from behind or from side). After that he will spit out poison pollen.
3. Can fly around and try to land on you.
4. Can jump and when he lands, he will cause circular shockwave.
5. When he bangs his stick into the ground, 3 fish-like creatures will emerge.
They float around until they explode (before exploding creature will turn
red). After explosion circular shockwave is caused.
Boss strategy:
Hehehe, I think this dragon would deserve title of the comedian. Sounds he
makes when you hit him are funny:)... Err, back to strategy.
For starters, any attack head on will fail because he will block it with that
large belly of his. Plus he counters with poison pollen spit. So your options
are side/back attacks. This may be little hard to achieve in some cases cos
they may be spikes nearby. But don't give up. If you don't like the position
where Vappula is currently standing, get away and he will fly up to a more
convenient (hopefully) location. If he gets too far away from you (or you get
too far away from him) he may create three fish-like creatures, which are
actually bombs. Don't allow them to explode in your vicinity. So park yourself
behind him ASAP and chop him up. After he gets up, his usual move is
jump&stomp the ground (watch for shockwave!). So jump over the shockwave, then
to the side (or behind) Vappula and repeat. Victory is yours!
For quick and easy win run to Vappula immediately when battle starts. Hit him
in the belly so he does his poison pollen spit. When he is 'recovering', jump
to side and chop him up. He gets up, jumps in the air, you jump over shockwave
and to the side, you chop him up... Rinse and repeat.
Useful tip: Sometimes Vappula will be stupid and will land on spikes instead
of landing on you. Talk about stupid...
Boss attacks:
Note: There are 3x Skeleton in this room.
1. Can throw fireball bomb down at you. When it explodes, it causes circular
shockwave.
2. Will revive 3x Skeleton on regular basis (these 3x Skeleton *can't* be
killed!).
Boss strategy:
Finally easy boss battle involving dragons. See those four pillars that float
in the air? Wait until Krassel jumps on one of them, then run there and do
Jumping Slash (one will do) at pillar Krassel is standing on. He will fall
down on his ass. Don't try to hit him yet, cos he is still invincible for a
few moments. He will flash 3 or 4 more times before he becomes vulnerable. Let
him have it for those 3 seconds of time you have to hurt him. After that he
becomes invulnerable again and will escape to high ledge in corner of the
room.
Krassel will occassionaly revive 3x Skeleton that are lying around. You can
either ignore them or knock them down, but you can't kill them. (If you see
this faq anywhere and see that it isn't credited to Split Infinity, please
inform me) Krassel may also attempt to throw a fireball bomb at your current
position, but it's nothing of danger - can be avoided easily.
If one or more pillar is missing, Krassel can materialize missing ones anytime
he wants (if pillars are being created over and over, you may need to strike
them more than once!) To win, just follow the guidelines two paragraphs above
and he goes down.
After this boss fight is over, dungeon is still not complete. You have to go
even further...
8th s.: Beware 1x grinder.
20x val, 1x S health, 1x S magic.
9th s.: Kill 2x Imperial Soldier and 3x Sorceress. Flip both levers.

21x val.
13th s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: HALFAS
Boss attacks:
Note: Halfas will grant you free 1x Magic vial and 1x Health vial.
1. Power up and slide into random direction. Can ram you during his gliding.
2. Sometimes after gliding he will summon white energy ball (has small homing
ability) from his weapon into your direction.
3. Sometimes he'll glide close to your current position, stop and try to
strike you with his staff. Regardless of success he will be fatigued for a
while (free attack!).
4. Can attack you with his staff if you're close.
5. When low on health, he can fly into one corner. He will spit out three blue
energy balls one after another. These have small homing ability. When they
explode, they will create circular shockwave. He will finish the attack by
trying to do flying bodyram into you. After this 'performance' he will be
fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Until he starts to fly, Halfas is relatively easy. He doesn't have any sudden
projectile attacks (two which he actually has can be predicted by his
actions). Stand in one corner and wait for Halfas to end his glide trip
somewhere near you (be ready to jump in case of firing a projectile to finish
his attack). I find running after him a waste of time, cos in 7 out of 10
cases he will move to another spot. When he finishes his attack, he's open to
your attack, so let him have it. Repeat this and when his health is seriously
depleted, he'll start to fly around. He'll park himself in the corner, shoot
out three energy balls of his and then try to fly into you. Keep moving at all
times. When he's finished with flying crap, he's fatigued --> free attack!
Rinse and repeat and victory is yours.
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'TALON'
Boss attacks:
1. When he cries out, he will create circular shockwave.
2. Can create 3x Cave Slug to assist him.
3. Knows left-arm swipe if you get close.
4. Can quickly retreat by jumping back a short distance.
5. Can spit out purple porcupine-like bomb at a small-to-medium distance. When
it explodes, it will create circular shockwave.
6. With around 40 to 60% health remaining his true head will come out. He will
become faster plus gain extended arm reach.
7. His true head can shoot out 3-way blue beamshot that travels above ground.
8. If you get close, he now knows triple claw swipe (left, then right, then
both arms).
9. Instead of one purple bomb, he can now throw three in your general
position.
10. If you hit his head, he *will* throw you one purple bomb and while you're
jumping, will follow with 3-way blue beamshot which is almost sure to hit you.
Boss strategy:
Hard boss battle. This dragon is almost perfect. Has high defense, fast
(becomes even faster), has many attacks, big health bar... too bad you must
kill him:).
Going head on is a bad idea for now. He may swipe at you or try to throw a
porcupine at you (usually throws bombs when you're very far away from him).
His most frequent attack is shockwaving you. Get behind him for easier time
with this monstrosity. Wait for shockwave attack, jump over it and attack
Talon. Repeat this. It will go slow, but is moderately safe. 2 or 3 times
you'll have to deal with 3x Cave Slug - Hammer Blow is your friend.
Once about 50% of Talon's energy has been depleted, his true head will emerge.
Talon becomes faster, gains more attacks and extended arm reach. Talon now
knows triple claw swipe. If you're far away, he will 3-way beamshot you. What
to do? Go for the head! If you attack it successfully, your attack will take
off big chunk of Talon's health (good animation of Talon grabbing his head in
pain). And Talon *will counterattack* by throwing a porcupine at you and then
3-way beamshot. If one doesn't hit, the other will most surely do. Try your
best in evading this by running behind him.
This dungeon is now complete!

go!
---> Part 1 of this dungeon
1st s.: Jump in the hole.
2nd s.: Big room with six (6!) exits. To make things worse, this is also
upper/lower level room. Two exits are west (one on lower, one on upper level),
three exits are on east (two of which are on upper level). North exit is
barred. To lift those bars, you have to electrify 4 trident like devices. One
device is in far left corner of this room, so power it up using Thunder magic.
Then take lower west exit. Before doing that kill 3x Demon Armor and 2x
Convict.
Lower west exit, lower level, 1st s.: Has two levels, you're on lower. Kill 3x
Dragonet. Then go left.
Lower west exit, 2nd s.: Push movable on the leftmost switch. Jump on the
block and then on ledge where you should kill 1x Tentacle Plant. Go thru first
north door.

Plant and go thru second north door.
2nd north door, 1st s.: Nothing.
2nd north door, 2nd s.: Step on switch, which will (in conjunction with
previously stepped on switch) unbar 3rd north door two rooms back, so go there
(jump to the door with help of movable crate). You will find yourself in...

is locked. Flip the lever to lower right drawbridge. Go right.
1x S magic.
2nd s.: Has 3 exits. You came thru west one. Step on switch to activate moving
platform. Jump on platform, from here to special platform. Wait for sound
signal and then step on one of four arrows signifying which direction you want
platform to go - right now that would be north. There is some loot on most
upper ledges.
1x Magic vial, 1x S health, 1x health.
North door, 1st s.: Must kill 3x Mystic Warrior. Beware 4x flame geyser.
Switch & Lever room: Has two entrances. You came thru west one. Stand next to
lever. Unlike previous levers, this one can be pulled in four directions. Flip
it down for some loot to appear. Flip it left to make lower left bars to

BOSS FIGHT: KRASSEL
Boss attacks:
Note: There are 3x Skull Knight in this room.
1. Can throw fireball bomb down at you. When it explodes, it causes circular
shockwave.
2. Will revive 3x Skull Knight on regular basis (these 3x Skull Knight *can't*
be killed!).
Boss strategy:
Recycled boss... yawn. See those four pillars that float in the air? Wait
until Krassel jumps on one of them, then run there and do Jumping Slash (one
will do) at pillar Krassel is standing on. He will fall down on his ass. Don't
try to hit him yet, cos he is still invincible for a few moments. He will
flash 3 or 4 more times before he becomes vulnerable. Let him have it for
those 3 seconds of time you have to hurt him. After that he becomes
invulnerable again and will escape to high ledge in corner of the room.
Krassel will occassionaly revive 3x Skull Knight that are lying around. You
can either ignore them or knock them down, but you can't kill them. Krassel
may also attempt to throw a fireball bomb at your current position, but it can
be avoided easily.
If one or more pillar is missing, Krassel can materialize missing ones anytime
he wants. Created pillar now has to be struck *four times* before it is
destroyed. Just continue the above recipe and Krassel will bite his ass for
good now.
BOSS FIGHT: AZI DAHAKA
Boss attacks:
1. Can head swipe at you if you're close (if he misses, he's open to attack).
2. When hit, will usually jump in the air, hover there a bit, then send a
fireball in your direction (when it explodes, circular shockwave is created)
and finish this 'performance' with stomping on gorund, creating another
circular shockwave.
3. Will cry out as a sign for shockwave attack, which is coming next.
4. Can fly around for a while and then stomp the ground for a shockwave.
5. If he cries out and at the same time closes his wings in front of him, this
means he'll create 4 magic circles (if you get caught in one, you can't get
out; you have to wait for circle to disappear). When these circles are
conjured, he'll finish the attack by stomping the ground for a shockwave. Stay
away from circles if you can (you can still get sucked in).
6. If you're behind him, he may strike you with his tail. If that misses,
shockwave is also sent in your direction.
7. With each step he makes, at some places on the battlefield poison smoke
will erupt. If you touch it, you will be fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Hard boss, no doubt. Retreats when attacked, has nasty attacks at his
disposal, can attack you even with his back to you... So how to beat him?
My easiest and craziest strategy: At start run up to him head on. Most of the
time he will try to headswipe you, so jump over it or stay out of its reach.
Whilst his head is 'on the side', he can't do a thing, so Triple Slash him. He
will then try headswiping you again. Jump over it or evade it. Triple Slash
him. Jump or evade... etc. This works for me 75% of the time. But in cases he
starts to get annoying...
To start, don't always attack him from behind. Tail shockwaves hurt... a lot.
Also pay attention to what his stance is when he cries out as a sign of attack
- if he covers his chest with his wings, stay away from him. You don't want to
be trapped in those circles, as you can't do a thing only try your best to
avoid his attacks; lucky hits against him while you're trapped are possible,
tho'. This boss battle can be somewhat long, cos it's very hard to land more
than one hit in; either he'll start an attack or will retreat out of sword
range. My best advice is to be persistent and he will eventually go down...
Will he?
BOSS FIGHT: AZI DAHAKA
1. Can spit out huge fireball, which upon impact creates shockwave.
2. Has right arm flame-swipe.
3. When he lifts his head and holds it there for some time, be ready for
several second lasting blue/green beam that will come in your direction.
Fortunately, he can't control it once it's fired.
4. Beware of tail swipe if you're attacking him from behind.
5. Can cry out as a sign of following shockwave attack.
6. Can fly for a bit and will then spit fireball in your direction (will
create shockwave after explosion) and stomp the ground for another shockwave
(he also has a version without the fireball).
7. With each step he makes, at some places on the battlefield poison smoke
will erupt. If you touch it, you will be fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Bigger, faster, more powerful attacks... but actually easier in terms of
landing successful hits.
Quite often Dahaka starts the battle by sending greeting fireball in your
direction, so ouch! for you right away. Get too close for too long and
armswipe is yours. Dawdle near his back for too long and tailswipe is yours...
but unless previous Dahaka form, this time it's actually easier to hit him
more than once. Attacking from side would seem like the best option, as only
thing you'd have to watch out for would be his instant shockwaves. Be ready
when Dahaka starts to gather power for his energy shot. Immediately start
running to his side and hopefully he will miss. Few seconds you're given
(while his attack still lasts) is more then enough to strike him good. It is
next to impossible to avoid his instant fireball, so don't feel bad about it.
So your best chance to attack him is immediately after boss is done shooting
that beam at you. Of course, at other times too.
Finally, when you deplete his health, he'll fall to the ground. Now move to
where his head is and execute a powerful blow at his head (Hammer Blow, for
example). If you want to be double sure, Special Sword Technique him. With
this you win and...
THIS GAME IS NOW COMPLETE!!!
==================================
'STORY OF A DRAGON VALOR', route 2
==================================
I. PROLOGUE: Dragon Valor
Character: Clovis
Magic Sword: Azos
B001: Brize Forest
1st s.: Let the adventure begin! Watch the intro and when you get control of
your character, you will see some online instructions on controls. Read 'em or
press Start to get rid of 'em. Must kill 1x Orc.
2nd s.: Must kill 1x Orc.
3rd s.: Time to learn how to jump and double jump. Jump over first ledge and
2xjump on the next. Jump on the ledge which sticks out of the wall. (If you
drop down, don't worry. You can 2xjump back on second ledge.) Jump from this
ledge to land on firm floor ahead. (tilps ytinifni! Read backwards to get
what? If this name isn't the same as the one at top of document, you're
reading a ripped walkthru from me!) You will now cross a bridge. Use the
online tip to learn how to dash. Proceed to the right. Hmm, seems like a dead
end. Not! Press R1/R2 to crouch. (Send me an e-mail if you suspect this
document is ripped to lifearmor@hotmail.com) Now press directional buttons to
move right while crouching. When you can stand up again, go right and drop
down. Must kill 2x Bat.
4th s.: Must kill 2x Orc.
5th s.: Kill 1x Orc. Jump on two ledges and land on firm floor ahead. Smash 3x
crate.
3x val.
6th s.: Must kill 1x Tentacle Plant.

8th s.: Must kill 3x Orc.
9th s.: Destroy 3x crate. Jump over 2 ledges and drop down. Kill 2x Bat. Turn
back and 2xjump on second ledge. Jump on the first sticked ledge, then on the
second, and then on the floor. Destroy next 3x crate.
2x val, 1x health, 1x Wine, 1x S magic, 1x S health.
10th s.: Kill 2x Will-O'-The-Wisp (one of them may drop a Gem) and 1x
Cerberus.
11th s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'RAGE'
Boss attacks:
1. If you see Rage lift his head and cry out, be ready to jump, cos he will
send out a circular shockwave.
2. If you find yourself close to Rage, he may try to hit you with his
headswipe from right to left. Evade this by jumping over his head or
retreating out of danger range.
3. Sometimes he decides to fly around a bit. Be careful, because he may try to
land on you. When he finally lands, be ready to jump because of a circular
shockwave that Rage will create when he lands.
4. When low on health, he will start to breathe fire, which hurts if you're
hit. Best thing you can do to avoid this is to run to either side of Rage if
you can. Otherwise, make use of 2xjumps.
Note: When Rage is about to perform any of these four attacks, he is
*invincible*. You cannot harm him in any way.
Boss strategy:
It's a pretty basic dragon for a start. He will start the battle by walking
towards you or retreating a few steps. Run up to him and land a few slices
into his skin, then retreat because he may counter with head swipe. Don't
worry, if you touch him accidentally, he will not harm you - except when he
performs his head swipe.
When he tries to hit you with shockwave, you can easily expect this. Rage will
start to flash, lift his head, wave it a bit, let out a cry and then the
shockwave. Jump over the shockwave and hit Rage with jumping slash.
Watch out for his flying trips, both because he may try to land on you or
(when he lands) hit you with a shockwave.
Sometimes he may drop to the floor - cos he is tired:)? Use this chance to hit
him with a 3xhit sword combo.
When his health drops below 40% or so, he will start breathing fire. Run to
the side of Rage or (in case this isn't possible) 2xjump.
You can also try to hit him with a fireball.:) Despite both Rage and fireball
being of fire nature, fireball will hurt Rage.
For the fastest disposal of Rage perform jumping slashes at Rage's head. After
7 or 8 hits he goes down. Be careful tho, cos he likes to counterattack with
fire breath.
3rd s.: Kill 4x Orc. You will come out thru west entrance. South entrance is
currently locked. North entrance is accessible, but there are 3x Spike in the

follows. If you want to be double safe, try out your Mine magic.
1x S magic, 13x val.
4th s.: Must kill 5x Will-O'-The-Wisp and 1x Lizardman. Get rid of red balls
ASAP, so that you have only Lizardman left to deal with. Kill him last.

fence on lower part of the screen. Remember, always check everywhere on every
screen!

middle of the room. Take the east exit.

1x S health, 1x S magic, 2x val.
Boss attacks:
1. He may dash at you and try to hit you with dashing punch (he is very
vulnerable after this attack, cos he must 'catch his breath':)).
2. If you're close to him, he may swing his right arm in order to hit you.
3. If he guards your attacks, get away because he may power up his right arm,
which can be extended quite a bit in order to hit you (you will know this by
flames coming out of his right arm).
4. Don't jump on him face-to-face, because he may knock you down with his
right arm swing.
Boss strategy:
This boss is really easy. Stay away from him at a moderate distance and wait
for him to do a dashing punch. When he get close, 2xjump over him so his
attack misses and then attack him from the back. Rinse and repeat and you win.
Easier strategy: Stay at a moderate distance and fireball him to death. He
should not even touch you.
Note 1: You get here by south exit if you take route 007.
Note 2: SPOILER: Here's first important decision, which decides how the story
will go on.
- If you choose to knock the door down, you will meet Raxis princess. After
Chapter 1 comes to an end, Clovis will marry Raxis Princess.
- If you choose to ignore the door, Clovis will marry Carolina, after chapter
1 comes to an end.

Mask, 1x Gold key.

walkthru part 008. Only this time west exit is locked (you get thru west exit
if you took the underground passage path). East exit still leads to the same
room as before, as well as north exit. But for now collect the loot in this
room. Beware of 4x Arrow turret. Then take east exit.
12x val.
East exit, 1st s.: Ignore the door for now. We shall return here, when we
replay the game. Return to previous room and take north exit.
1x val, 1x health.
North exit, 1st s.: Must kill 2x Knight and 2x Royal Archer.
1x S health, 1x S magic, 2x val
Boss attacks:
1. He may dash at you and try to hit you with dashing punch (he is very
vulnerable after this attack, cos he must 'catch his breath':)).
2. If you're close to him, he may swing his right arm in order to hit you.
3. If he guards your attacks, get away because he may power up his right arm,
which can be extended quite a bit in order to hit you (you will know this by
flames coming out of his right arm).
4. Don't jump on him face-to-face, because he may knock you down with his
right arm swing.
Boss strategy:
This boss is really easy. Stay away from him at a moderate distance and wait
for him to do a dashing punch. When he get close, 2xjump over him so his
attack misses and then attack him from the back. Rinse and repeat and you win.
Easier strategy: Stay at a moderate distance and fireball him to death. He
should not even touch you.
2nd s.: 1x spike hazard. Kill 3x Will-O'-The-Wisp and 1x Imperial Guard.
1x val.

1x S magic, 1x S health.
5th s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: POWER R... RAIMUN
Boss attacks:
1. He knows dashing slash.
2. He knows single / double / triple slash.
3. He frequently throws explosive bombs.
4. He frequently throws poison bombs (causes fatigue).
5. He can guard.
6. When he gets up and if you're close to him, can do swift swipe at you,
which you can't guard against.
Boss strategy:
It's morphin' time!:) Raimun is little harder. Always be on the move, you
never know when he's gonna shower you with those stupid bombs. Jump in such
manner that you will land near him, and then let him have it.
Sometimes he seems to have run out of bombs and will run up to some shelves of
sorts to restock ---> free attack for you from behind.:)
Sometimes you'll see Raimun's sword on fire. Be ready to jump cos Raimun will
perform Dashing Slash. After it fails (hopefully), he's open to your attack.
Follow the above tips and you will win easily.

wall hazards.

BOSS FIGHT: VOLEF (REVIVED)
Boss attacks:
1. He can launch single energy ball from his right arm.
2. He can run up to you and perform flying drill attack (?)... looks kinda
like Bison's Psycho Crusher move:). After this attack Volef will be unable to
move temporarily.
3. If you're close to him, he'll try to punch you with his right arm.
4. He can also perform a spin attack of sorts, usually after he picks himself
up from the floor.
5. He can guard.
Boss strategy:
Same stupid Volef as before. Stay away from him at a moderate distance, but
keep moving (he will try to shoot you with his energy balls!). When Volef
finally moves in for his flying drill attack, 2xjump over Volef. When Volef
lands, he's open to your attack. Attack him from behind with Triple Slash.
Then move away at a moderate distance... Rinse and repeat and victory is
yours.
Grey Tome: Lv 1 Stealth magic
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'TITAN'
Boss attacks:
1. He can lift his head, then he will cry out and try to hit you with circular
shockwave.
2. If you're close, he'll try to hit you with a head swing.
3. He can spit out 3 fireball bombs, first being the closest and last being
the farthest (in distance); after they explode stay away from the place of
explosion for a while.
4. He can try to jump on you; if this misses, be ready to jump because of
circular shockwave.
5. He can spit out a really fast fireball which flies in a straight line.
6. He can stand on his hind legs, doing so enables him a new attack - if
you're close, he will try a quick advance toward you which he finishes with a
powerful bite; during standing he can also perform attacks 1, 3 and 5.
Boss strategy:
Titan is harder than his predecessor. Always be on the move, and try to learn
Titan's signs to predict his attacks. Attacking his head only doesn't work
anymore. It will have to get personal. Start the fight by running close to him
and doing Jumping Slash, then get away. He's likely to retaliate by reating a
shockwave or headswing. If he tries attack his fast fireball spit, good luck
in evading it. His jumps at you seem to be the rarest. 3 fireball bombs attack
is easy to avoid (unless you're close to Titan, in which case first fireball
bomb might hit you). After 3 or so Jumping Slashes he will collapse, giving
you a free attack. Use the chance! Repeat this recipe until Titan stands on
his hind legs. Watch out for his quick charge&bite attacks against you.
Continue your previous technique and Titan will soon go down.
Useful tip: His weak spot is his tail. You can deal him critical damage if you
hit his tail successfully (for example when Titan is fatigued).

BOSS FIGHT: PIRATE ROBERT
Boss attacks:
1. His move pattern is following: few seconds he'll stand in a corner, few
seconds he'll spend running around like mad.
2. He can try to ram you.
3. He can magically power him up, thus becoming faster; if he rams you while
powered up, he will deal more damage.
4. When powered up, he can throw 3 bombs at you; their distance varies -
either he throws them up close, or really far; even if the bomb misses, you
must be careful cos of their circular shockwaves; after he throws 2 sets of
three bombs, he'll start laughing; this is the time when he's open to attack,
so do it.
5. If his ramming attack misses, he can follow it up by throwing his hook as a
boomerang; in case even this attack misses he will follow it by another
hookthrow (he cal also throw his hook as a separate counting attack).
6. Extremely good at guarding and evading.
Boss strategy:
Always be on the move. You never know when he might ram you. And don't stay
near him for too long, his hook hurts.
For easy win try this strategy: Do a Jumping Slash at him. When Robert gets
up, he'll power up. Wait for his 6 bombs to be thrown (doing your best to
avoid them, of course) so that he'll start to laugh. Run up to him and chop
him with Triple Slash. When he gets up he'll power up... Rinse and repeat.
3rd s.: Really big room. North exit is currently closed. The switch for the

it), 1x magic, 14x val (2x val is near the switch above).

BOSS FIGHT: CLOVIS
Boss attacks:
1. Can perform Special Sword Technique at ease (one where you have to press
Square and X at the same time). He gets exhausted after it too.
2. Can cast very quick fireball.
3. Can backflip once or twice.
4. Can do Single (or Double) Slash.
5. Can guard extremely well.
Boss strategy:
Welcome to very tough boss battle. Clovis has a nice array of moves at his
disposal and won't hesitate in using them. Here's how to beat him...
Always be on the move cos of possible fireball attack. Your chances to strike
him successfully are immediately after he cast the fireball or he performed
Special Sword technique (he's defenseless for a while). He loves to backflip
and then cast a fireball. If you attack him in a common way, but he blocks,
try to get away cos he's very likely to counterattack. Keep it up and he will
go down eventually.
Easier strategy: Select Mine magic and blow him away. So what if he hurts you?
As long as you deal more damage to him than he does to you, you're okay.
1st s.: This room involves lots of jumping. Make sure you fall into every hole
you see to nab the loot there. Drop into first hole and kill 3x Tentacle Plant
and 3x Orc. Then work your way up those ledges until you land on the right of
the first hole. Destroy 4x crate. Jump over next ledge and fall into second
hole. Kill 3x Cerberus there. Jump back up. This time work your way over the
ledges above the second hole. On your way you'll have to get rid of 3x
Toadstool.
2x health, 1x magic, 1x S health, 35x val.
2nd s.: Must kill 2x Orc and 1x Mantis.
1x Magic vial.
3rd s.: Smash 3x crate and collect loot nearby. Go and fall down. Beware of
Poison pool hazard. Wait for a moving platform to jump onto. Jump onto next
moving platform and you're across this poison lake. Jump onto the ledges in
the corner and continue making your way first left, then right until you're
across this hole.
1x Chalice, 1x magic, 38x val.
1st s.: At beginning jump in the lava all the way to the left for some loot.
Beware of Lava pool hazard (don't walk in it for too long!). Continue right.
Jump on the ledge. Switch to Ice magic and freeze flaming platform ahead. Jump
on this platform and then on the next. Jump on the floor ahead. First Lava
pool is after us. Go right. Now you'll also have to watch out for Flame geyser
hazard. Jump on first Flame geyser island (you can stand just to the end of
that small island and not be harmed neither by Flame geyser or surrounding
lava). Jump south from here and collect some money in the lava you see. Don't
worry, at the end you get Health vial. Return to first Flame geyser island.
Jump to next island east from this one. (Check the writer of this document. If
it isn't SsPpLlIiTt IiNnFfIiNnIiTtYy, this document is ripped! Inform me
please at LlIiFfEeAaRrMmOoRr hot account) Next island is to the south (there
are 2x Flame geyser here). Jump to next east island. Jump to next east island.
Kill 1x Bat there. There is small Health potion barely visible behind this
island. Jump on next east island and kill 1x Bat there. Then jump on south
island and kill 1x Bat there. Collect large Health potion. Lastly, jump on
large east island and second lava pool is over with. It's not over yet...
There is a series of jumps east now: jump on first island (1x Flame geyser
hazard), then on second (safe here), then on third (1x Flame geyser), then on
fourth (1x Flame geyser) and stop. Switch to Ice magic. Freeze flame platform
and jump onto it. Jump on another east island. Freeze next flame platform (the
one with Poison on it). Jump on it. Freeze next flame platform and jump on it.
Jump on moving platform and finally jump on the floor ahead. It's 'Sayonara'
to Lava pools.:) Go right and drop down the hole.
1x Pendant, 81x val, 1x Health vial, 1x health, 2x S health, 1x S magic
2nd s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON TWINS 'HELLFIRE' & 'INFERNO'
Boss attacks:
Note: Inferno is dragon on the left. Hellfire is dragon on the right.
1. Inferno can try to hit you with head swing from left to right. Same applies
for Hellfire, except that he swings from right to left.
2. They spit fire very often. Both have three different techniques:
- Inferno will lift his head, wave it a bit, then spit fire on middle island
and finish by spewing fire on the left island; Hellfire will spit fire on
middle island and finish it by spewing fire on the right island
- Inferno may send a fireball directly to left island; Hellfire may send
fireball directly to right island; when this fireball explodes, it will send
out huge circular shockwave
- Inferno and Hellfire can join forces in combined fireball attack: they will
lower their heads and spit out 6-8 fireballs (Inferno will move in
anticlockwise, Hellfire will move in clockwise direction); they can only
perform this attack if both of them are alive
Boss strategy:
This boss is not so hard as it seems, but you need to be patient. Why? Read
the strategy and you will see...
Room consists of 3 islands where you can move. Middle one (directly beneath
both dragons), left one and right one. Mostly you will have to jump between
left and right islands. Only go to middle island if you have a chance to hit
one of the dragons. Both dragons can only be hit, after either one falls down
fatigued. Exact time when this happens cannot be predicted. When it happens,
it happens, so that's why you have to be patient. Inferno and Hellfire have
separate health bars.
Sometimes when one of them does firebreath attack where he fireballs middle
and then left/right island, 1x magic may appear on middle island. Don't
collect it immediately. Instead heal first and then collect it.
Try to deal same amount of damage to both heads before you take one down. If
you kill Inferno first, he will spit a fireball on right island which will
then be engulfed in flames *permanently*. Also when Inferno's body will fall
to the ground, he will catch fire, so don't walk too near him. Same thing foes
for Hellfire (except that he'll torch right island instead).
Now is the true test of your patience. You *have* to wait until remaining head
has so much 'courage' to lower his head so that you can kill him for good. If
remaining head's health bar is still moderately full, you have a looong battle
ahead. That's why I suggested to deal same amount of damage to both heads
before killing one off.
When one head remains, that head can still do 3 attacks. Head swing and two
sorts of firebreath attacks. For this part of battle I suggest that you remain
on middle island under whichever head is still alive and patiently wait for
head to fall down.
Firebreath attack with pattern middle/left (or middle/right) island can easily
be anticipated. Jump to left/right island first and then to the middle again,
just as remaining dragon is about to firebreath left/right island. Be patient
with remaining head and you'll win.
IMPROVED STRATEGY: Select Ice magic, stand on island next to those two dragons
and cast it! Spray both dragons with ice shards and they will come crashing
down like no tomorrow. Let them have it. When they go up again, just cast Ice
magic again.

- Your 1x Tea for 1x Bracelet <--- Get this!!
- Your 1x Pendant for 1x Ring <--- Get this!!
- Your 1x Lithograph for 1x Talisman <--- Get this!!
Boss attacks:
1. Whenever Thunder is surrounded with electricity, do not touch him.
2. Will cry out as a sign of following shockwave.
3. Can electrify himself and will then release 5 thunder blades one after
another. These blades have homing ability for about one second and after that
they dash in whichever direction they were going. When he does this attack,
stay far away so that you have space to evade them. After this attack Thunder
will be fatigued for a while. Thunder also has faster releasing thunder blades
attack.
4. Can electrify himself and will then release 5 thunder balls. They will form
semicircle in front of Thunder. After some time they will come rolling in your
direction. Thunder will be fatigued after this attack.
5. After he is attacked, get away quickly or prepare to be shocked (he seems
to do this if third sword strike dealt critical damage).
Boss strategy:
Safest way to strike Thunder without being fried is to wait until his thunder-
based attacks die off (thunder blades and thunder balls - tips on avoiding
those are described in boss' attacks just above this strategy) and then attack
him. If he walks toward you and is electrified, run away. So to sum up: wait
and avoid his thunder blades/balls attack, he will get fatigued, attack him,
get away, wait and avoid his thunder blades/balls attack, he will be fatigued
etc.
Note that somewhere in middle of battle he becomes faster and obtains faster
moving thunder blades.

BOSS FIGHT: GRUSAMSEUS
Boss attacks:
1. Can conjure fireball bomb; upon impact it falls apart into 3 smaller
fireball bombs.
2. Can conjure 5 ice shards that come flying in your direction.
3. Can create two copies of himself; will electrify himself and start circling
around you, getting closer and closer.
Boss strategy:
Easy boss. Think of him as a souped up version of Sorcerer, only with more
magic and health. Just wait for him to show up somewhere, run toward him, jump
over his magic attack and let him have it.
If you're too close to him when he shows up, he may teleport to another
location straight away.
When he creates copies and circles around you, wait until he's really close
and then 2xjump out of harms reach; you shouldn't be even touched.
2ns s.: Beware poison pool. Jump on platforms to get across. There's some
extra loot in poison pool.

2x val, 1x magic, 1x Lithograph.
1st s.: Has 3 exits. North one is locked. Go left first. Beware 5x flame
geyser (these are scattered all over this room). Smash 2x crate

1st screen and go right now.
Boss attacks:
Note: There are 3x Skeleton in this room.
1. Can throw fireball bomb down at you. When it explodes, it causes circular
shockwave.
2. Will revive 3x Skeleton on regular basis (these 3x Skeleton *can't* be
killed!).
Boss strategy:
Finally easy boss battle involving dragons. See those four pillars that float
in the air? Wait until Krassel jumps on one of them, then run there and do
Jumping Slash (one will do) at pillar Krassel is standing on. He will fall
down on his ass. Don't try to hit him yet, cos he is still invincible for a
few moments. He will flash 3 or 4 more times before he becomes vulnerable. Let
him have it for those 3 seconds of time you have to hurt him. After that he
becomes invulnerable again and will escape to high ledge in corner of the
room.
Krassel will occassionaly revive 3x Skeleton that are lying around. You can
either ignore them or knock them down, but you can't kill them. (If you see
this faq anywhere and see that it isn't credited to Split Infinity, please
inform me) Krassel may also attempt to throw a fireball bomb at your current
position, but it's nothing of danger - can be avoided easily.
If one or more pillar is missing, Krassel can materialize missing ones anytime
he wants (if pillars are being created over and over, you may need to strike
them more than once!) To win, just follow the guidelines two paragraphs above
and he goes down.
After this boss fight is over, dungeon is still not complete. You have to go
even further...
9th s.: Kill 3x Sorceress. Flip far left switch to open left doors. (Lower
left switch makes 1x spike in previous room to lower.)
10x val.
10th s.: 32x val, 1x magic.
11th s.: Must kill 2x Giant Knight.
12th s.: Beware 2x grinder.
13x val, 1x Talisman.
13th s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: HALFAS
Boss attacks:
Note: Halfas will grant you free 1x Magic vial and 1x Health vial.
1. Power up and slide into random direction. Can ram you during his gliding.
2. Sometimes after gliding he will summon white energy ball (has small homing
ability) from his weapon into your direction.
3. Sometimes he'll glide close to your current position, stop and try to
strike you with his staff. Regardless of success he will be fatigued for a
while (free attack!).
4. Can attack you with his staff if you're close.
5. When low on health, he can fly into one corner. He will spit out three blue
energy balls one after another. These have small homing ability. When they
explode, they will create circular shockwave. He will finish the attack by
trying to do flying bodyram into you. After this 'performance' he will be
fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Until he starts to fly, Halfas is relatively easy. He doesn't have any sudden
projectile attacks (two which he actually has can be predicted by his
actions). Stand in one corner and wait for Halfas to end his glide trip
somewhere near you (be ready to jump in case of firing a projectile to finish
his attack). I find running after him a waste of time, cos in 7 out of 10
cases he will move to another spot. When he finishes his attack, he's open to
your attack, so let him have it. Repeat this and when his health is seriously
depleted, he'll start to fly around. He'll park himself in the corner, shoot
out three energy balls of his and then try to fly into you. Keep moving at all
times. When he's finished with flying crap, he's fatigued --> free attack!
Rinse and repeat and victory is yours.
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'TALON'
Boss attacks:
1. When he cries out, he will create circular shockwave.
2. Can create 3x Cave Slug to assist him.
3. Knows left-arm swipe if you get close.
4. Can quickly retreat by jumping back a short distance.
5. Can spit out purple porcupine-like bomb at a small-to-medium distance. When
it explodes, it will create circular shockwave.
6. With around 40 to 60% health remaining his true head will come out. He will
become faster plus gain extended arm reach.
7. His true head can shoot out 3-way blue beamshot that travels above ground.
8. If you get close, he now knows triple claw swipe (left, then right, then
both arms).
9. Instead of one purple bomb, he can now throw three in your general
position.
10. If you hit his head, he *will* throw you one purple bomb and while you're
jumping, will follow with 3-way blue beamshot which is almost sure to hit you.
Boss strategy:
Hard boss battle. This dragon is almost perfect. Has high defense, fast
(becomes even faster), has many attacks, big health bar... too bad you must
kill him:).
Going head on is a bad idea for now. He may swipe at you or try to throw a
porcupine at you (usually throws bombs when you're very far away from him).
His most frequent attack is shockwaving you. Get behind him for easier time
with this monstrosity. Wait for shockwave attack, jump over it and attack
Talon. Repeat this. It will go slow, but is moderately safe. 2 or 3 times
you'll have to deal with 3x Cave Slug - Hammer Blow is your friend.
Once about 50% of Talon's energy has been depleted, his true head will emerge.
Talon becomes faster, gains more attacks and extended arm reach. Talon now
knows triple claw swipe. If you're far away, he will 3-way beamshot you. What
to do? Go for the head! If you attack it successfully, your attack will take
off big chunk of Talon's health (good animation of Talon grabbing his head in
pain). And Talon *will counterattack* by throwing a porcupine at you and then
3-way beamshot. If one doesn't hit, the other will most surely do. Try your
best in evading this by running behind him.
This dungeon is now complete!

This dungeon is veeery long and tedious. It's comprised of three parts. Let's
go!
---> Part 1 of this dungeon
1st s.: Jump in the hole.
2nd s.: Big room with six (6!) exits. To make things worse, this is also
upper/lower level room. Two exits are west (one on lower, one on upper level),
three exits are on east (two of which are on upper level). North exit is
barred. To lift those bars, you have to electrify 4 trident like devices. One
device is in far left corner of this room, so power it up using Thunder magic.
Then take lower west exit. Before doing that kill 6 Will-O'-The-Wisp.
Lower west exit, lower level, 1st s.: Has two levels, you're on lower. West
exit of this room is sealed. Kill 2x Convict. Then jump on platform and go to

2nd s.: Has 3 exits. You came thru west one. Must kill 6x Starfish to activate
moving platform. Jump on platform, from here to special platform. Wait for
sound signal and then step on one of four arrows signifying which direction
you want platform to go - right now that would be north. There is some loot on
most upper ledges.
1x S magic, 1x S health, 1x health.
North door, 1st s.: Must kill 3x Royal Archer. Beware 3x arrow turret.
Switch & Lever room: Has two entrances. You came thru west one. Stand next to
lever. Unlike previous levers, this one can be pulled in four directions. Flip
it right to make Gold key to appear. Then flip it up to make lower left bars
to disappear. Step on now available switch, which will lower upper right bars.

of room. Kill 2x Toadstool. Jump on pillar and then jump on platform. Wait for
sound signal and then step on one of four arrows signifying which direction

ledges.
1x S magic.
North path, 1st s.: Kill 3x Dragonet.
North path, 2nd s.: Beware Poison pool. First drop down to lower ledge. Use

this room's exit.now unbarred door.
1x Health vial, 1x Magic Power vial.
North path, 3rd s.: Drop all way to bottom. Step on switch you will find here
(purpose of this switch?????). Select Ice magic and freeze 3x flam platform to
gain access to this room's exit.

Final s.: Final boss battles ahead!
BOSS FIGHT: KRASSEL
Boss attacks:
Note: There are 3x Skull Knight in this room.
1. Can throw fireball bomb down at you. When it explodes, it causes circular
shockwave.
2. Will revive 3x Skull Knight on regular basis (these 3x Skull Knight *can't*
be killed!).
Boss strategy:
Recycled boss... yawn. See those four pillars that float in the air? Wait
until Krassel jumps on one of them, then run there and do Jumping Slash (one
will do) at pillar Krassel is standing on. He will fall down on his ass. Don't
try to hit him yet, cos he is still invincible for a few moments. He will
flash 3 or 4 more times before he becomes vulnerable. Let him have it for
those 3 seconds of time you have to hurt him. After that he becomes
invulnerable again and will escape to high ledge in corner of the room.
Krassel will occassionaly revive 3x Skull Knight that are lying around. You
can either ignore them or knock them down, but you can't kill them. Krassel
may also attempt to throw a fireball bomb at your current position, but it can
be avoided easily.
If one or more pillar is missing, Krassel can materialize missing ones anytime
he wants. Created pillar now has to be struck *four times* before it is
destroyed. Just continue the above recipe and Krassel will bite his ass for
good now.
BOSS FIGHT: AZI DAHAKA
Boss attacks:
1. Can head swipe at you if you're close (if he misses, he's open to attack).
2. When hit, will usually jump in the air, hover there a bit, then send a
fireball in your direction (when it explodes, circular shockwave is created)
and finish this 'performance' with stomping on gorund, creating another
circular shockwave.
3. Will cry out as a sign for shockwave attack, which is coming next.
4. Can fly around for a while and then stomp the ground for a shockwave.
5. If he cries out and at the same time closes his wings in front of him, this
means he'll create 4 magic circles (if you get caught in one, you can't get
out; you have to wait for circle to disappear). When these circles are
conjured, he'll finish the attack by stomping the ground for a shockwave. Stay
away from circles if you can (you can still get sucked in).
6. If you're behind him, he may strike you with his tail. If that misses,
shockwave is also sent in your direction.
7. With each step he makes, at some places on the battlefield poison smoke
will erupt. If you touch it, you will be fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Hard boss, no doubt. Retreats when attacked, has nasty attacks at his
disposal, can attack you even with his back to you... So how to beat him?
My easiest and craziest strategy: At start run up to him head on. Most of the
time he will try to headswipe you, so jump over it or stay out of its reach.
Whilst his head is 'on the side', he can't do a thing, so Triple Slash him. He
will then try headswiping you again. Jump over it or evade it. Triple Slash
him. Jump or evade... etc. This works for me 75% of the time. But in cases he
starts to get annoying...
To start, don't always attack him from behind. Tail shockwaves hurt... a lot.
Also pay attention to what his stance is when he cries out as a sign of attack
- if he covers his chest with his wings, stay away from him. You don't want to
be trapped in those circles, as you can't do a thing only try your best to
avoid his attacks; lucky hits against him while you're trapped are possible,
tho'. This boss battle can be somewhat long, cos it's very hard to land more
than one hit in; either he'll start an attack or will retreat out of sword
range. My best advice is to be persistent and he will eventually go down...
Will he?
BOSS FIGHT: AZI DAHAKA
1. Can spit out huge fireball, which upon impact creates shockwave.
2. Has right arm flame-swipe.
3. When he lifts his head and holds it there for some time, be ready for
several second lasting blue/green beam that will come in your direction.
Fortunately, he can't control it once it's fired.
4. Beware of tail swipe if you're attacking him from behind.
5. Can cry out as a sign of following shockwave attack.
6. Can fly for a bit and will then spit fireball in your direction (will
create shockwave after explosion) and stomp the ground for another shockwave
(he also has a version without the fireball).
7. With each step he makes, at some places on the battlefield poison smoke
will erupt. If you touch it, you will be fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Bigger, faster, more powerful attacks... but actually easier in terms of
landing successful hits.
Quite often Dahaka starts the battle by sending greeting fireball in your
direction, so ouch! for you right away. Get too close for too long and
armswipe is yours. Dawdle near his back for too long and tailswipe is yours...
but unless previous Dahaka form, this time it's actually easier to hit him
more than once. Attacking from side would seem like the best option, as only
thing you'd have to watch out for would be his instant shockwaves. Be ready
when Dahaka starts to gather power for his energy shot. Immediately start
running to his side and hopefully he will miss. Few seconds you're given
(while his attack still lasts) is more then enough to strike him good. It is
next to impossible to avoid his instant fireball, so don't feel bad about it.
So your best chance to attack him is immediately after boss is done shooting
that beam at you. Of course, at other times too.
Finally, when you deplete his health, he'll fall to the ground. Now move to
where his head is and execute a powerful blow at his head (Hammer Blow, for
example). If you want to be double sure, Special Sword Technique him. With
this you win and...
THIS GAME IS NOW COMPLETE!!!

BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'RAGE'
Boss attacks:
1. If you see Rage lift his head and cry out, be ready to jump, cos he will
send out a circular shockwave.
2. If you find yourself close to Rage, he may try to hit you with his
headswipe from right to left. Evade this by jumping over his head or
retreating out of danger range.
3. Sometimes he decides to fly around a bit. Be careful, because he may try to
land on you. When he finally lands, be ready to jump because of a circular
shockwave that Rage will create when he lands.
4. When low on health, he will start to breathe fire, which hurts if you're
hit. Best thing you can do to avoid this is to run to either side of Rage if
you can. Otherwise, make use of 2xjumps.
Note: When Rage is about to perform any of these four attacks, he is
*invincible*. You cannot harm him in any way.
Boss strategy:
It's a pretty basic dragon for a start. He will start the battle by walking
towards you or retreating a few steps. Run up to him and land a few slices
into his skin, then retreat because he may counter with head swipe. Don't
worry, if you touch him accidentally, he will not harm you - except when he
performs his head swipe.
When he tries to hit you with shockwave, you can easily expect this. Rage will
start to flash, lift his head, wave it a bit, let out a cry and then the
shockwave. Jump over the shockwave and hit Rage with jumping slash.
Watch out for his flying trips, both because he may try to land on you or
(when he lands) hit you with a shockwave.
Sometimes he may drop to the floor - cos he is tired:)? Use this chance to hit
him with a 3xhit sword combo.
When his health drops below 40% or so, he will start breathing fire. Run to
the side of Rage or (in case this isn't possible) 2xjump.
You can also try to hit him with a fireball.:) Despite both Rage and fireball
being of fire nature, fireball will hurt Rage.
For the fastest disposal of Rage perform jumping slashes at Rage's head. After
7 or 8 hits he goes down. Be careful tho, cos he likes to counterattack with
fire breath.
3rd s.: Kill 4x Orc. You will come out thru west entrance. South entrance is
currently locked. North entrance is accessible, but there are 3x Spike in the
next room which you must lower first. So take east entrance for now.

with a block which can be moved. Stand next to the block and press Square so

then on the ledge to collect loot.
3x val, 1x Lithograph, 1x S health.
East way, 2nd s.: This room contains 3x Skeleton and 1x Rhinoid, whom you must
kill to get Gold key, which you need for locked door found two rooms back. 3x

1x Gold key, 2x val
South way, 1st s.: Kill 3x Bat.
6x val.
South way, 2nd s.: Before picking up anything, make your way to the highest
pillar where a floor switch is. (Is this docoument credited to Split Infinity?

room and then you can start your jumping trip. It's pretty easy and you should
have no problems. After the switch is activated, collect the loot. Return to 4

follows. If you want to be double safe, try out your Mine magic.
1x S magic, 13x val.
4th s.: Must kill 5x Will-O'-The-Wisp and 1x Lizardman. Get rid of red balls
ASAP, so that you have only Lizardman left to deal with. Kill him last.

fence on lower part of the screen. Remember, always check everywhere on every
screen!

1x Pendant, 2x val.
North exit, 1st s.: Must kill 2x Knight and 2x Royal Archer.
1x S health, 1x S magic, 2x val.
Boss attacks:
1. He may dash at you and try to hit you with dashing punch (he is very
vulnerable after this attack, cos he must 'catch his breath':)).
2. If you're close to him, he may swing his right arm in order to hit you.
3. If he guards your attacks, get away because he may power up his right arm,
which can be extended quite a bit in order to hit you (you will know this by
flames coming out of his right arm).
4. Don't jump on him face-to-face, because he may knock you down with his
right arm swing.
Boss strategy:
This boss is really easy. Stay away from him at a moderate distance and wait
for him to do a dashing punch. When he get close, 2xjump over him so his
attack misses and then attack him from the back. Rinse and repeat and you win.
Easier strategy: Stay at a moderate distance and fireball him to death. He
should not even touch you.
Note 1: You get here by south exit if you take route 007.
Note 2: SPOILER: Here's first important decision, which decides how the story
will go on.
- If you choose to knock the door down, you will meet Raxis princess. After
Chapter 1 comes to an end, Clovis will marry Raxis Princess.
- If you choose to ignore the door, Clovis will marry Carolina, after chapter
1 comes to an end.
1st s.: Must kill 3x Knight and 2x Royal Archer to get the key. Then collect

room.
37x val, 1x S health (all the way left), 1x Pendant, 1x magic, 1x Chalice, 1x
Mask, 1x Gold key.
2nd s.: Looks familiar? This is the same room with four exits as described in
walkthru part 008. Only this time west exit is locked (you get thru west exit
if you took the underground passage path). East exit still leads to the same
room as before, as well as north exit. But for now collect the loot in this
room. Beware of 4x Arrow turret. Then take east exit.
12x val.
East exit, 1st s.: Ignore the door for now. We shall return here, when we
replay the game. Return to previous room and take north exit.
1x val, 1x health.

should not even touch you.

BOSS FIGHT: POWER R... RAIMUN
Boss attacks:
1. He knows dashing slash.
2. He knows single / double / triple slash.
3. He frequently throws explosive bombs.
4. He frequently throws poison bombs (causes fatigue).
5. He can guard.
6. When he gets up and if you're close to him, can do swift swipe at you,
which you can't guard against.
Boss strategy:
It's morphin' time!:) Raimun is little harder. Always be on the move, you
never know when he's gonna shower you with those stupid bombs. Jump in such
manner that you will land near him, and then let him have it.
Sometimes he seems to have run out of bombs and will run up to some shelves of
sorts to restock ---> free attack for you from behind.:)
Sometimes you'll see Raimun's sword on fire. Be ready to jump cos Raimun will
perform Dashing Slash. After it fails (hopefully), he's open to your attack.
Follow the above tips and you will win easily.
Yellow Tome: Lv 1 Defense magic.
1st s.: Return a bit to right for some loot. Go down the stairs and pull the
block on the switch.

block on the right switch. This will open middle exit.
1x Lithograph, 1x S health, 1x magic.
Middle north exit: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: VOLEF (REVIVED)
Boss attacks:
1. He can launch single energy ball from his right arm.
2. He can run up to you and perform flying drill attack (?)... looks kinda
like Bison's Psycho Crusher move:). After this attack Volef will be unable to
move temporarily.
3. If you're close to him, he'll try to punch you with his right arm.
4. He can also perform a spin attack of sorts, usually after he picks himself
up from the floor.
5. He can guard.
Boss strategy:
Same stupid Volef as before. Stay away from him at a moderate distance, but
keep moving (he will try to shoot you with his energy balls!). When Volef
finally moves in for his flying drill attack, 2xjump over Volef. When Volef
lands, he's open to your attack. Attack him from behind with Triple Slash.
Then move away at a moderate distance... Rinse and repeat and victory is
yours.
Grey Tome: Lv 1 Stealth magic
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'TITAN'
Boss attacks:
1. He can lift his head, then he will cry out and try to hit you with circular
shockwave.
2. If you're close, he'll try to hit you with a head swing.
3. He can spit out 3 fireball bombs, first being the closest and last being
the farthest (in distance); after they explode stay away from the place of
explosion for a while.
4. He can try to jump on you; if this misses, be ready to jump because of
circular shockwave.
5. He can spit out a really fast fireball which flies in a straight line.
6. He can stand on his hind legs, doing so enables him a new attack - if
you're close, he will try a quick advance toward you which he finishes with a
powerful bite; during standing he can also perform attacks 1, 3 and 5.
Boss strategy:
Titan is harder than his predecessor. Always be on the move, and try to learn
Titan's signs to predict his attacks. Attacking his head only doesn't work
anymore. It will have to get personal. Start the fight by running close to him
and doing Jumping Slash, then get away. He's likely to retaliate by reating a
shockwave or headswing. If he tries attack his fast fireball spit, good luck
in evading it. His jumps at you seem to be the rarest. 3 fireball bombs attack
is easy to avoid (unless you're close to Titan, in which case first fireball
bomb might hit you). After 3 or so Jumping Slashes he will collapse, giving
you a free attack. Use the chance! Repeat this recipe until Titan stands on
his hind legs. Watch out for his quick charge&bite attacks against you.
Continue your previous technique and Titan will soon go down.
Useful tip: His weak spot is his tail. You can deal him critical damage if you
hit his tail successfully (for example when Titan is fatigued).

BOSS FIGHT: PIRATE ROBERT
Boss attacks:
1. His move pattern is following: few seconds he'll stand in a corner, few
seconds he'll spend running around like mad.
2. He can try to ram you.
3. He can magically power him up, thus becoming faster; if he rams you while
powered up, he will deal more damage.
4. When powered up, he can throw 3 bombs at you; their distance varies -
either he throws them up close, or really far; even if the bomb misses, you
must be careful cos of their circular shockwaves; after he throws 2 sets of
three bombs, he'll start laughing; this is the time when he's open to attack,
so do it.
5. If his ramming attack misses, he can follow it up by throwing his hook as a
boomerang; in case even this attack misses he will follow it by another
hookthrow (he cal also throw his hook as a separate counting attack).
6. Extremely good at guarding and evading.
Boss strategy:
Always be on the move. You never know when he might ram you. And don't stay
near him for too long, his hook hurts.
For easy win try this strategy: Do a Jumping Slash at him. When Robert gets
up, he'll power up. Wait for his 6 bombs to be thrown (doing your best to
avoid them, of course) so that he'll start to laugh. Run up to him and chop
him with Triple Slash. When he gets up he'll power up... Rinse and repeat.
3rd s.: Really big room. North exit is currently closed. The switch for the
door is in the same room, but inaccessible for now. Instead loot the room to

it), 1x magic, 14x val (2x val is near the switch above).

East exit, 4th s.: Must kill 6x Zombie.
East exit, 1st s.: We're back at this room, only this time we're at upper

down, you'll have to go around again.)
Upper level 6x val, 1x health.
3rd s.: We're back at first big room. Go up and step on the switch to open the
door. Collect loot nearby. See that wood beam with silver coin on it? Jump up

North exit, 1st s.: Must kill 1x Rock Demon.
North exit, 2nd s.: Drop down first and kill 3x Toadstool. Go right as far as

7th s.: Must kill 3x Demon Armor and 1x Lizardman. Beware of 2x Spike Wall

8th s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: CLOVIS
Boss attacks:
1. Can perform Special Sword Technique at ease (one where you have to press
Square and X at the same time). He gets exhausted after it too.
2. Can cast very quick fireball.
3. Can backflip once or twice.
4. Can do Single (or Double) Slash.
5. Can guard extremely well.
Boss strategy:
Welcome to very tough boss battle. Clovis has a nice array of moves at his
disposal and won't hesitate in using them. Here's how to beat him...
Always be on the move cos of possible fireball attack. Your chances to strike
him successfully are immediately after he cast the fireball or he performed
Special Sword technique (he's defenseless for a while). He loves to backflip
and then cast a fireball. If you attack him in a common way, but he blocks,
try to get away cos he's very likely to counterattack. Keep it up and he will
go down eventually.
Easier strategy: Select Mine magic and blow him away. So what if he hurts you?
As long as you deal more damage to him than he does to you, you're okay.
1st s.: This room involves lots of jumping. Make sure you fall into every hole
you see to nab the loot there. Drop into first hole and kill 3x Tentacle Plant
and 3x Orc. Then work your way up those ledges until you land on the right of
the first hole. Destroy 4x crate. Jump over next ledge and fall into second
hole. Kill 3x Cerberus there. Jump back up. This time work your way over the
ledges above the second hole. On your way you'll have to get rid of 3x
Toadstool.
2x health, 1x magic, 1x S health, 35x val
2nd s.: Must kill 2x Orc and 1x Mantis.
1x Magic vial.
3rd s.: Smash 3x crate and collect loot nearby. Go and fall down. Beware of
Poison pool hazard. Wait for a moving platform to jump onto. Jump onto next
moving platform and you're across this poison lake. Jump onto the ledges in
the corner and continue making your way first left, then right until you're
across this hole.
1x Chalice, 1x magic, 38x val
1st s.: At beginning jump in the lava all the way to the left for some loot.
Beware of Lava pool hazard (don't walk in it for too long!). Continue right.
Jump on the ledge. Switch to Ice magic and freeze flaming platform ahead. Jump
on this platform and then on the next. Jump on the floor ahead. First Lava
pool is after us. Go right. Now you'll also have to watch out for Flame geyser
hazard. Jump on first Flame geyser island (you can stand just to the end of
that small island and not be harmed neither by Flame geyser or surrounding
lava). Jump south from here and collect some money in the lava you see. Don't
worry, at the end you get Health vial. Return to first Flame geyser island.
Jump to next island east from this one. Next island is to the south (there are
2x Flame geyser here). Jump to next east island. Jump to next east island.
Kill 1x Bat there. There is small Health potion barely visible behind this
island. Jump on next east island and kill 1x Bat there. Then jump on south
island and kill 1x Bat there. Collect large Health potion. Lastly, jump on
large east island and second lava pool is over with. It's not over yet...
There is a series of jumps east now: jump on first island (1x Flame geyser
hazard), then on second (safe here), then on third (1x Flame geyser), then on
fourth (1x Flame geyser) and stop. Switch to Ice magic. Freeze flame platform
and jump onto it. Jump on another east island. Freeze next flame platform (the
one with Poison on it). Jump on it. Freeze next flame platform and jump on it.
Jump on moving platform and finally jump on the floor ahead. It's 'Sayonara'
to Lava pools.:) Go right and drop down the hole.
1x Pendant, 81x val, 1x Health vial, 1x health, 2x S health, 1x S magic
2nd s.: It's a boss!
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON TWINS 'HELLFIRE' & 'INFERNO'
Boss attacks:
Note: Inferno is dragon on the left. Hellfire is dragon on the right.
1. Inferno can try to hit you with head swing from left to right. Same applies
for Hellfire, except that he swings from right to left.
2. They spit fire very often. Both have three different techniques:
- Inferno will lift his head, wave it a bit, then spit fire on middle island
and finish by spewing fire on the left island; Hellfire will spit fire on
middle island and finish it by spewing fire on the right island
- Inferno may send a fireball directly to left island; Hellfire may send
fireball directly to right island; when this fireball explodes, it will send
out huge circular shockwave
- Inferno and Hellfire can join forces in combined fireball attack: they will
lower their heads and spit out 6-8 fireballs (Inferno will move in
anticlockwise, Hellfire will move in clockwise direction); they can only
perform this attack if both of them are alive
Boss strategy:
This boss is not so hard as it seems, but you need to be patient. Why? Read
the strategy and you will see...
Room consists of 3 islands where you can move. Middle one (directly beneath
both dragons), left one and right one. Mostly you will have to jump between
left and right islands. Only go to middle island if you have a chance to hit
one of the dragons. Both dragons can only be hit, after either one falls down
fatigued. Exact time when this happens cannot be predicted. When it happens,
it happens, so that's why you have to be patient. Inferno and Hellfire have
separate health bars.
(This document was written by Split Infinity. If the name this document is
credited with isn't Split Infinity, then this FAQ is ripped off. Please report
the offending party to me at lifearmor@hotmail.com)
Sometimes when one of them does firebreath attack where he fireballs middle
and then left/right island, 1x magic may appear on middle island. Don't
collect it immediately. Instead heal first and then collect it.
Try to deal same amount of damage to both heads before you take one down. If
you kill Inferno first, he will spit a fireball on right island which will
then be engulfed in flames *permanently*. Also when Inferno's body will fall
to the ground, he will catch fire, so don't walk too near him. Same thing foes
for Hellfire (except that he'll torch right island instead).
Now is the true test of your patience. You *have* to wait until remaining head
has so much 'courage' to lower his head so that you can kill him for good. If
remaining head's health bar is still moderately full, you have a looong battle
ahead. That's why I suggested to deal same amount of damage to both heads
before killing one off.
When one head remains, that head can still do 3 attack. Head swing and two
sorts of firebreath attacks. For this part of battle I suggest that you remain
on middle island under whichever head is still alive and patiently wait for
head to fall down.
Firebreath attack with pattern middle/left (or middle/right) island can easily
be anticipated. Jump to left/right island first and then to the middle again,
just as remaining dragon is about to firebreath left/right island. Be patient
with remaining head and you'll win.
IMPROVED STRATEGY: Select Ice magic, stand on island next to those two dragons
and cast it! Spray both dragons with ice shards and they will come crashing
down like no tomorrow. Let them have it. When they go up again, just cast Ice
magic again.
nX magic (infinite), Grey Tome: Lv 2 Stealth magic.
3rd s.: Destroy 5x crate. Beware 2x Arrow turret. Go right and drop in the
hole. Kill 1x Toadstool (behind it is some loot). Jump on a small hill next to
this enemy. Jump up on left ledge. Crouch and go left. Kill 2x Toadstool.
Where third Toadstool was, jump up for some more loot, then back down and to
the right to get across this hole. Drop in next hole and kill 2x War Bird.
There's some loot in upper east corner. Go back, jump out of second hole and
make your way over it by jumping on ledges to get across. Go right and kill 3x
Tentacle Plant to clear those ledges. Beware 4x Bomb. Smash or ignore wood
fence.

BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'HADES'
Boss attacks:
Finally a challenging boss with many attacks...
1. Can do tail swipe, if you're close to him.
2. Can bite you if you're close to him.
3. Can throw 3 energy balls one after another from his right hand. They can
track you for a while; explode after they hit edge of the battlefield. After
explosion they send out circular shockwaves.
When he's close to defeat, he gains new attacks.
4. Can draw you close to him by sucking air (well, that's how it appears to be
done:)), and finishes it with a head swipe.
5. Can do head swipe as a separate attack (if you're close).
6. Can now throw all 3 energy balls *at once*.
Boss strategy:
Gerome has quite high defense (in my case 5), so most boss' attacks should do
minimal / medium damage.
When the battle starts, he will 'put himself together'.:) Notice the red
energy ball in his chest? That's his weak point. As long as that energy ball
is in chest, he's invulnerable (except for one case; read Note at end of this
boss strategy). Here's how to defeat him:
Run up to him and do Jumping Slash in direction of his chest. If your strike
connects, Hades will fall apart and red energy ball will split up into *three*
red balls that will circle across the battlefield. You must destroy these
three red balls in order for Hades to take damage (if you touch any of them,
it will cause fatigue). But you have to be quick in destroying them, otherwise
they will return inside Hades' chest and you will have to jump-slash at it
again.
Ok, so after these three red balls are running across battlefield, Hades will
do his best to stop you. He is quite fast. Will be throwing his blue energy
balls at you nonstop. Ignore them and concentrate on hunting red balls. He is
quite fast and can cover the battlefield with ease. Once three red balls are
destroyed, Hades will fall apart once again and some of his health will be
depleted. He will then stand up again with red energy ball in his chest being
revived, so run up to him again and do Jumping Slash etc...
At one point when you strike him with Jumping Slash and three red balls will
'escape', these three balls will assemble Hades immediately. This is a sign
that the fight is going to be harder. When you strike his chest, instead of
three now four energy balls will escape from Hades' chest. Plus Hades will
gain attacks 4., 5. and 6.
Hunt four red balls down for two more times and victory is yours.
Note: When you want to heal, be close to Hades. Use your Heal magic and Hades
will take damage as he is undead. You can do this at any time during the
fight, just make sure you're close to him.
This dungeon is now complete!

BOSS FIGHT: VILHERM
Boss attacks:
Note: There are 6x mine scattered around the battlefield, so do not dawdle
near them for too long.
1. Can cast spell which sends out 3 energy balls (small homing ability).
2. Can do Hammer Blow, which when finished sends out a circular shockwave.
3. Knows single slash.
4. Knows double slash.
5. Can guard.
6. Has evasive jump maneuver.
Boss strategy:
Don't be too far away from Vilherm, otherwise he'll keep casting those
annoying energy balls. Best thing to do is to go face to face on him. He is
rather slow when trying to slash at you. You should have little to no problem
in being faster than him. If he guards your first slash, keep at it - usually
third slash connects. For some fun you can also lure him near those bombs
and... you get the picture:).
If he jumps back to gain some distance, run after him. Don't give him time to
breath. Vilherm is one of easier bosses and you should defeat him easily.

BOSS FIGHT: VAPPULA
Boss attacks:
Note: there are 3x spike scattered over the battlefield, so take care!
1. If you're in front of him, he will burp out some poison pollen (will cause
fatigue). He'll also do that if you attack him face to face.
2. Can bounce you back if you attack him face to face (you have to attack him
from behind or from side). After that he will spit out poison pollen.
3. Can fly around and try to land on you.
4. Can jump and when he lands, he will cause circular shockwave.
5. When he bangs his stick into the ground, 3 fish-like creatures will emerge.
They float around until they explode (before exploding creature will turn
red). After explosion circular shockwave is caused.
Boss strategy:
Hehehe, I think this dragon would deserve title of the comedian. Sounds he
makes when you hit him are funny:)... Err, back to strategy.
For starters, any attack head on will fail because he will block it with that
large belly of his. Plus he counters with poison pollen spit. So your options
are side/back attacks. This may be little hard to achieve in some cases cos
they may be spikes nearby. But don't give up. If you don't like the position
where Vappula is currently standing, get away and he will fly up to a more
convenient (hopefully) location. If he gets too far away from you (or you get
too far away from him) he may create three fish-like creatures, which are
actually bombs. Don't allow them to explode in your vicinity. So park yourself
behind him ASAP and chop him up. After he gets up, his usual move is
jump&stomp the ground (watch for shockwave!). So jump over the shockwave, then
to the side (or behind) Vappula and repeat. Victory is yours!
For quick and easy win run to Vappula immediately when battle starts. Hit him
in the belly so he does his poison pollen spit. When he is 'recovering', jump
to side and chop him up. He gets up, jumps in the air, you jump over shockwave
and to the side, you chop him up... Rinse and repeat.
Useful tip: Sometimes Vappula will be stupid and will land on spikes instead
of landing on you. Talk about stupid...
2nd s.: Beware 2x falling pillar.
1x S health, 1x S magic, 13x val.
3rd s.: Must kill 1x Dragonet and 3x Giant Knight (tip: kill 1x Dragonet
first; He drops Bomb item; pick it up and 3x Giant Knight will be killed).
1x Bomb.
Boss attacks:
Note: There are 3x Skeleton in this room.
1. Can throw fireball bomb down at you. When it explodes, it causes circular
shockwave.
2. Will revive 3x Skeleton on regular basis (these 3x Skeleton *can't* be
killed!).
Boss strategy:
Finally easy boss battle involving dragons. See those four pillars that float
in the air? Wait until Krassel jumps on one of them, then run there and do
Jumping Slash (one will do) at pillar Krassel is standing on. He will fall
down on his ass. Don't try to hit him yet, cos he is still invincible for a
few moments. He will flash 3 or 4 more times before he becomes vulnerable. Let
him have it for those 3 seconds of time you have to hurt him. After that he
becomes invulnerable again and will escape to high ledge in corner of the
room.
Krassel will occassionaly revive 3x Skeleton that are lying around. You can
either ignore them or knock them down, but you can't kill them. Krassel may
also attempt to throw a fireball bomb at your current position, but it's
nothing of danger - can be avoided easily.
If one or more pillar is missing, Krassel can materialize missing ones anytime
he wants. To win, just follow the guidelines two paragraphs above and he goes
down.
After this boss fight is over, dungeon is still not complete. You have to go
even further...

BOSS FIGHT: HALFAS
Boss attacks:
Note: Halfas will grant you free 1x Magic vial and 1x Health vial.
1. Power up and slide into random direction. Can ram you during his gliding.
2. Sometimes after gliding he will summon white energy ball (has small homing
ability) from his weapon into your direction.
3. Sometimes he'll glide close to your current position, stop and try to
strike you with his staff. Regardless of success he will be fatigued for a
while (free attack!).
4. Can attack you with his staff if you're close.
5. When low on health, he can fly into one corner. He will spit out three blue
energy balls one after another. These have small homing ability. When they
explode, they will create circular shockwave. He will finish the attack by
trying to do flying bodyram into you. After this 'performance' he will be
fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Until he starts to fly, Halfas is relatively easy. He doesn't have any sudden
projectile attacks (two which he actually has can be predicted by his
actions). Stand in one corner and wait for Halfas to end his glide trip
somewhere near you (be ready to jump in case of firing a projectile to finish
his attack). I find running after him a waste of time, cos in 7 out of 10
cases he will move to another spot. When he finishes his attack, he's open to
your attack, so let him hame it. Repeat this and when his health is seriously
depleted, he'll start to fly around. He'll park himself in the corner, shoot
out three energy balls of his and then try to fly into you. Keep moving at all
times. When he's finished with flying crap, he's fatigued --> free attack!
Rinse and repeat and victory is yours.
BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON 'TALON'
Boss attacks:
1. When he cries out, he will create circular shockwave.
2. Can create 3x Cave Slug to assist him.
3. Knows left-arm swipe if you get close.
4. Can quickly retreat by jumping back a short distance.
5. Can spit out purple porcupine-like bomb at a small-to-medium distance. When
it explodes, it will create circular shockwave.
6. With around 40 to 60% health remaining his true head will come out. He will
become faster plus gain extended arm reach.
7. His true head can shoot out 3-way blue beamshot that travels above ground.
8. If you get close, he now knows triple claw swipe (left, then right, then
both arms).
9. Instead of one purple bomb, he can now throw three in your general
position.
10. If you hit his head, he *will* throw you one purple bomb and while you're
jumping, will follow with 3-way blue beamshot which is almost sure to hit you.
Boss strategy:
Hard boss battle. This dragon is almost perfect. Has high defense, fast
(becomes even faster), has many attacks, big health bar... too bad you must
kill him:).
Going head on is a bad idea for now. He may swipe at you or try to throw a
porcupine at you (usually throws bombs when you're very far away from him).
His most frequent attack is shockwaving you. Get behind him for easier time
with this monstrosity. Wait for shockwave attack, jump over it and attack
Talon. Repeat this. It will go slow, but is moderately safe. 2 or 3 times
you'll have to deal with 3x Cave Slug - Hammer Blow is your friend.
Once about 50% of Talon's energy has been depleted, his true head will emerge.
Talon becomes faster, gains more attacks and extended arm reach. Talon now
knows triple claw swipe. If you're far away, he will 3-way beamshot you. What
to do? Go for the head! If you attack it successfully, your attack will take
off big chunk of Talon's health (good animation of Talon grabbing his head in
pain). And Talon *will counterattack* by throwing a porcupine at you and then
3-way beamshot. If one doesn't hit, the other will most surely do. Try your
best in evading this by running behind him.
This dungeon is now complete!

go!
---> Part 1 of this dungeon
1st s.: Jump in the hole.
2nd s.: Big room with six (6!) exits. To make things worse, this is also
upper/lower level room. Two exits are west (one on lower, one on upper level),
three exits are on east (two of which are on upper level). North exit is
barred. To lift those bars, you have to electrify 4 trident like devices. One
device is in far left corner of this room, so power it up using Thunder magic.
Then take lower west exit.

other side. If you drop down, ignore or kill 3x Rhinoid.
Behind silver door, 2nd s.: Jump on platform and then on top of 1x falling

Lower east exit, 4th s.: Jump over conveyor belts to other side. Kill 1x
Tentacle Plant.
Lower east exit, 5th s.: Must kill 1x Crystal Knight.

loot on most upper ledges.

to appear). Go left. Watch for 3x falling pillar. Step on left switch (will
cause a key to appear).

East exit, 4th s.: Has three exits. You came thru east one. West one is locked
(you need Gold key). North one is your choice for now. Go to pillar in middle
of room. Jump on it and then jump on platform. Wait for sound signal and then
step on one of four arrows signifying which direction you want platform to go
- right now that would be north. There is nothing of interest on upper ledges
(switch on upper far left ledge causes 3x Poison to appear).
North path, 1st s.: Must kill 2x Sorceress.
North path, 2nd s.: Beware Poison pool. First drop down to lower ledge. Use

north. Unlock the doors there.
Behind silver door, 1st s.:Kill 5x Eyeful and 3x Convict. Step on switch (will

lever. Unlike previous levers, this one can be pulled in four directions. Flip
it left first (will cause lower left bars to disappear). Step on now available
switch (will lower upper right bars). Return to lever and flip it up now (will
cause lower left bars to reappear; upper left bars will be lowered). You now
have access to another key. Flip the lever down for some free loot. Return to
'East exit, 4th screen' room.
1x Magic vial, 1x Gold key.
East exit, 4th s., revisited: Jump on pillar in middle of room and then on
platform. Make it go left. Unlock the doors there.

1x Gold key.

north doors. Unlock them.
1x Magic vial, 1x Health vial.
Final s.: Final boss battles ahead!
BOSS FIGHT: KRASSEL
Boss attacks:
Note: There are 3x Skull Knight in this room.
1. Can throw fireball bomb down at you. When it explodes, it causes circular
shockwave.
2. Will revive 3x Skull Knight on regular basis (these 3x Skull Knight *can't*
be killed!).
Boss strategy:
Recycled boss... yawn. See those four pillars that float in the air? Wait
until Krassel jumps on one of them, then run there and do Jumping Slash (one
will do) at pillar Krassel is standing on. He will fall down on his ass. Don't
try to hit him yet, cos he is still invincible for a few moments. He will
flash 3 or 4 more times before he becomes vulnerable. Let him have it for
those 3 seconds of time you have to hurt him. After that he becomes
invulnerable again and will escape to high ledge in corner of the room.
Krassel will occassionaly revive 3x Skull Knight that are lying around. You
can either ignore them or knock them down, but you can't kill them. Krassel
may also attempt to throw a fireball bomb at your current position, but it can
be avoided easily.
If one or more pillar is missing, Krassel can materialize missing ones anytime
he wants. Created pillar now has to be struck *four times* before it is
destroyed. Just continue the above recipe and Krassel will bite his ass for
good now.
BOSS FIGHT: AZI DAHAKA
Boss attacks:
1. Can head swipe at you if you're close (if he misses, he's open to attack).
2. When hit, will usually jump in the air, hover there a bit, then send a
fireball in your direction (when it explodes, circular shockwave is created)
and finish this 'performance' with stomping on gorund, creating another
circular shockwave.
3. Will cry out as a sign for shockwave attack, which is coming next.
4. Can fly around for a while and then stomp the ground for a shockwave.
5. If he cries out and at the same time closes his wings in front of him, this
means he'll create 4 magic circles (if you get caught in one, you can't get
out; you have to wait for circle to disappear). When these circles are
conjured, he'll finish the attack by stomping the ground for a shockwave. Stay
away from circles if you can (you can still get sucked in).
6. If you're behind him, he may strike you with his tail. If that misses,
shockwave is also sent in your direction.
7. With each step he makes, at some places on the battlefield poison smoke
will erupt. If you touch it, you will be fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Hard boss, no doubt. Retreats when attacked, has nasty attacks at his
disposal, can attack you even with his back to you... So how to beat him?
My easiest and craziest strategy: At start run up to him head on. Most of the
time he will try to headswipe you, so jump over it or stay out of its reach.
Whilst his head is 'on the side', he can't do a thing, so Triple Slash him. He
will then try headswiping you again. Jump over it or evade it. Triple Slash
him. Jump or evade... etc. This works for me 75% of the time. But in cases he
starts to get (copyright for this document by Split Infinity) annoying...
To start, don't always attack him from behind. Tail shockwaves hurt... a lot.
Also pay attention to what his stance is when he cries out as a sign of attack
- if he covers his chest with his wings, stay away from him. You don't want to
be trapped in those circles, as you can't do a thing only try your best to
avoid his attacks; lucky hits against him while you're trapped are possible,
tho'. This boss battle can be somewhat long, cos it's very hard to land more
than one hit in; either he'll start an attack or will retreat out of sword
range. My best advice is to be persistent and he will eventually go down...
Will he?
BOSS FIGHT: AZI DAHAKA
1. Can spit out huge fireball, which upon impact creates shockwave.
2. Has right arm flame-swipe.
3. When he lifts his head and holds it there for some time, be ready for
several second lasting blue/green beam that will come in your direction.
Fortunately, he can't control it once it's fired.
4. Beware of tail swipe if you're attacking him from behind.
5. Can cry out as a sign of following shockwave attack.
6. Can fly for a bit and will then spit fireball in your direction (will
create shockwave after explosion) and stomp the ground for another shockwave
(he also has a version without the fireball).
7. With each step he makes, at some places on the battlefield poison smoke
will erupt. If you touch it, you will be fatigued.
Boss strategy:
Bigger, faster, more powerful attacks... but actually easier in terms of
landing successful hits.
Quite often Dahaka starts the battle by sending greeting fireball in your
direction, so ouch! for you right away. Get too close for too long and
armswipe is yours. Dawdle near his back for too long and tailswipe is yours...
but unless previous Dahaka form, this time it's actually easier to hit him
more than once. Attacking from side would seem like the best option, as only
thing you'd have to watch out for would be his instant shockwaves. Be ready
when Dahaka starts to gather power for his energy shot. Immediately start
running to his side and hopefully he will miss. Few seconds you're given
(while his attack still lasts) is more then enough to strike him good. It is
next to impossible to avoid his instant fireball, so don't feel bad about it.
So your best chance to attack him is immediately after boss is done shooting
that beam at you. Of course, at other times too.
Finally, when you deplete his health, he'll fall to the ground. Now move to
where his head is and execute a powerful blow at his head (Hammer Blow, for
example). If you want to be double sure, Special Sword Technique him. With
this you win and...
THIS GAME IS NOW COMPLETE!!!

Strangely, game awards you with no info, so this section is empty.
1. Q: How do I kill Azi Dahaka's second form? I deplete his health and he
drops down, but he keeps coming back to life with small chunk of energy.
A: Once Azi Dahaka's second form is down for the count, go to where his head
is. *Do not* use any magic whatsoever nor normal sword attacks.
You must strike Dahaka's head using more powerful Sword Technique, like Hammer
Blow for example. Once Azi is struck at his head with such blow, he bites the
dust for good.
2. Q: How can I raise my MAX MP amount? Lithographs I pick up only add 1 MP.
In your FAQ you mention Scrolls. Where can I get some?
A: To get Scroll item in your possession, you must kill enemies using *magic
attacks on them only*. If you strike enemy physically and finish him off
magically, there is still a small possibility that you will get a Scroll.
Easiest example of this would be using Lv 2 Heal magic on bunch of Skeletons.
You're almost guaranteed that one of them will drop Scroll. Other enemies I've
nabbed Scrolls from are Centaur, Rock Demon, Sorceress, Sorcerer, Giant
Knight, Scorpion, Orc, Armored Beetle and any enemy that counts as undead. It
is possible that other types of enemies may also drop Scrolls, but I haven't
been lucky so far.
3. Q: Any items that are worth having?
A: Yes! By all means you should try to get following items: Earrings (cut MP
usage by 1), Bracelet (reduces fatigue time), Talisman (raises defense by one
point). And of course Chalices and Scrolls.
4. Q: I'm almost at the end of the game and some of my magic spells haven't
reached Lv 3! What's up with that?
A: As strange as it sounds, you *cannot* obtain enough Tomes for all types of
magic to be at level 3 in one playthrough.
For example in route 2 you won't be able to raise you Ice magic to level 3.
But you will be able to do so in route 1.
5. Q: Help! I'm stuck on a room with a weird object. What do I do here?
A: Is this object a small pillar? If yes, select Fire magic. Now throw a
fireball at the pillar and it will light up, enabling you to proceed further.
Is this object a flame platform? If yes, select Ice magic and freeze the
platform, thus enabling you to proceed further.
Is this object a trident-like thing hanging from ceiling? If yes, select
Thunder magic and stand under the trident. Cast your magic. When thunderballs
explode, they will electrify trident, thus enabling you ro proceed further.
6. Q: How can I raise my attack power? I want to get rid of my enemies faster!
A: This will sound tedious, but you have to kill lots of enemies so that they
will drop Gems, which boost your attack either by 9 or 11 points. Ring item
isn't worth your time...
7. Q: Are there any cheats for the game?
A: Although there is one push-button-code posted at GameFAQs, I couldn't get
it work. As far as other possible cheats go, I haven't found any yet.
Note: Maybe Gameshark cheats or codes exist, but I wouldn't know, cos I don't
have GS myself. If anyone can fill me in on this matter, please send me an e-
mail.
8. Q: I powered up my PSX and... Where's the Gallery option in Title Screen?
I've beaten the game n-times already!
A: To call it back, simply load a save file in which you've beaten the game at
least *once*. Wait for game to load and then do soft reset (press L1, L2, R1,
R2, Start and Select buttons all at once). When you come back to title screen,
Gallery option is at your disposal.

8. SECRETS
----------
Maybe there are some secrets in this game after all...
I. There are three different routes (I will refer to them as a 'Story of a
Dragon Valor') thru the game, which means three different endings. This routes
are enabled by making two critical choices, which are:
- Critical choice 1:
a) When in Raxis castle, choose to break down one of the doors when prompted.
Clovis will meet Celia and marry her afterward. This will be the only choice
in this route thru the game (I will refer to it as a 'Story of a Dragon
Valor', route 1).
b) If you choose to ignore the door when prompted, Clovis will never meet
Celia and will marry Carolina instead. This will lead to another critical
choice which you will have to make in Chapter 2: Berserker. (I will refer to
it as a 'Story of a Dragon Valor', route 2&3).
- Critical choice 2:
a) When in Clovis' Fortress, choose to open the door when prompted. Kodel will
meet Fannah's spirit and marry Fannah afterward. This choice will continue
your story in what I will refer to as a 'Story of a Dragon Valor', route 2.
b) When in Clovis' Fortress, choose not to open the door when prompted. Kodel
will not meet Fannah's spirit and will not marry her afterwards. This choice
will enable what I will refer to as a 'Story of a Dragon Valor', Route 3.
II. Gallery option
When you beat Dragon Valor for the first time, you will be asked if you want
to create 'clear data' save. Do so. When you load this save, you will start at
the prolog in the game. Now beat the game again, but this time choose the path
you didn't choose before. For info on where you can choose your path, refer to
secret I. above.
Also, when you beat the game for the first time (and save), 'Gallery' option
will appear in title screen menu. Select it and you will be taken to Gallery
menu. Controls are explained in point 4. of this walkthrough (look under Game
/ Menu etc. screen).
In Gallery you can view an assortment of really nice character art. Also
included are some image illustrations, rough illustrations, movie resources
pictures and more. When you beat the game for the second time using
*different* characters, amount of pictures in Gallery increases. Beat the game
for the thurd time again using *different* characters and Gallery will be
full.
