If you don't have enough gold to buy the stuff you need go to the angry
sea. The fish creatures give you 50 gold, and the octopus's give you
100. This is useful because they are easy to defeat. Use the sword of
fire and you will have plenty of gold.
Don't buy the Sacred Shield in Amazons. It isn't worth 9000 dollars.
Wait until later in the game and you can get it somewhere else for cheaper.
When you enter the cave of styx to get the sword of thunder it helps if
you equip the sacred shield.
A pretty good place to gain levels is in the Angry Sea. The fish monsters
give you over 100 exp and the octopus monsters give you over 200 exp.
Equip the iron necklace at all times. It doubles you armor defense.
When you are searching for Kensu in Swan, first get the message from
stom, then go to the Cafe. There will be one soldier sitting down. Put
him to sleep with paralylis. Then talk to him. You will find out he is
Kensu and he will teleport away. Go to the Party house and put the guy
on the left to sleep. Then talk to him. You have now found Kensu.
The pendant Kensu talks about is the Love Pendant. Go to where you got
the shell flute and call the dolphin. Ride around and you will find it.
Give it to Kensu to learn the magic of change.
Once you have change go to Amazons and change into the woman. Give
the leader the Lysis Plant and you will get the Bow of The Moon.
To eliminate the whirlpool blocking your way in the Angry Sea, combine
the broken statue and the glowing lamp and you will get the statue of
gold. Place this on the alter of the angry sea to calm it.
In the castle that is in the Town of Zombies you will come to Mesia. She
will tell you there is a sorcerer in the next room. Don't go there! The
real Mesia is back there. The one you are talking to is the second of
Draygonia's Finest Four. Stab her 3 times. She will protest, but after 3
times she will reveal her true form. Use the Level 3 fire sword technique.
In Swan to get past the guards on the screen to the left, change into the soldier.
You can freeze some patches of water with the level 2 water sword technique.
Enemies die faster if you use the level 2 fire sword technique. It hits them
multiple times.
Don't change in front of enemies. You can't use your sword if you do.
When in caves, always save 25 mp for teleport in case you need more
magic for refresh, or need to get out of a long cave.
In the barn in Joel use the eyeglasses to see a secret door. Follow the
path and you will reach the lighthouse.
Instead of paying a lot of money to stay at an inn later in the game,
teleport back to leaf and you can stay for $16.
After you go through the gate in Swan, equip the blizzard bracelet and
use the level 3 attack to enemies easily.
Don't rely on the Sword of Fire. It becomes weak towards the end of the game.
Where is the Battle Armor?
Sent in by Kyle Charpie
You go into the town of Goa and go north. You will find an iron door, if
you can break this you fight the four bosses over. After fighting general
Kelbesque, Sabera, Mado, and Karmine, you meet Kensu. You give him the
ivory statue you won from karmine. He teaches you flight. You go in the
top exit in the room where you found Kensu. You wander around then
find a pink poison pit. You fly or hop over it and see some water. On your
side you find a treasure chest. In it is the Battle Armor.
Fight the swamp monster with the second power up
Sent in by Joe
When fighting the swamp monster near Oak, you only have the first power
up to the Sword of Fire. There is a way to fight the swamp monster with
the second power up. First, you get the Sword of the Wind and get it on
the second power up. Then, go to the sub-screen with the weapons, select
the Sword of Fire (do not unselect the Ball of Wind) Then, go to the items
sub-screen, select the gas mask, insect flute, and refresh. Then, save
without exiting the sub-screen at all. After that, the second power up
box should go away. Do all the above sequences in Oak. Then, go in the
swamp, take off your gas mask and die (seriously). After you die,
continue. You should have the second power up to the Sword of Fire, but do
not go to the sub-screen at all (just in the swamp). Go to the place where
the place where the swamp monster is Note: When you have the insect flute
on you can't fight anyone in the swamp because it wont let you do it. So
once you get to the place where the monster is, blow the insect flute and
you should be able to fight him with the second power up of the Sword of
Fire. Once you defeat him you will get the Ball of Fire.
Where is the Warrior Ring?
Sent in by Ed Anderson
You need to do a few things in order at the Fortress of Goa, defeat
everyone. After you defeat Karmine, go walk down past the statues
and take the stairs. Next walk down across the spikes and take the
stairs on the left. Then walk to the left and take the first path up
you will come to a blob. Give it the Ivory Statue, it will turn back into
Kensu and he will teach you flight. Now go back to the town of Goa and
go into the building in the upper right. Then change into Akahana by using
the Change Spell. Talk to the man inside and he will give you the Warrior Ring.
Storm Bracelet tip
Sent in by Arca9No59@aol.com
If you hate the Storm Bracelet making the game go in slow motion, after
you release the button and the enemies get hit, press Start and press
Start again and the storm will be over. The good part about this is that
you can manage to pull off more hits.

To find the Bow of Sun, it's on the mountain where Shyron is. Its on
the opposite Cave of Styx. The Krisa plant is a cave near Portoa, but
you go south, through a pass and go east to a cave, when you come out
on the other side go northeast and look through a patch of purple flowers
once you have it, warp back to The Amazons and change into a girl and give
it to the leader there, She gives you the bow of moon, To get the bow
of truth you must be in level 16, go to the pyramid (later in the game)
defeat Dragoniya and get the chest, suddenly the floor breaks and you
fall, look for azteca at the top of the room, talk to him, he gives you
the bow of truth.

make the guys from the Oak Village reconsider humans... I know I did.
