-From the Game Manual, as its the best story I can find.
THE GAUNTLET DARK LEGACY STORY
The legend of Gauntlet takes place in a land of eight magical realms, ruled by
a great and powerful wizard named Sumner. For many years the land prospered
under Sumner's guidance. The seat of his power was a mighty Tower with its many
portals. These magical doorways allowed Sumner to travel easily throught the
land. Peace reigned throughout the Eight Realms, but it would not last.
Sumner had a younger brother Garm, who was jealous of his older sibling's power
and status. Seeking to increase his own magic, Garm sought after thirteen
legendary Rune Stones. These ancient artifacts would enable Garm to tap into
the power of the Underworld. After years of searching, Garm was able to locate
twelve of the thirteen Runestones. Impatient and Overconfident, Garm decided to
try his magic without the elusive thirteenth stone.
One day, while Sumner was traveling the land away from his Tower, Garm prepared
his spell. Chanting ancient incantations, Garm opened a portal to the
Underworld, but was unprepared for the result. Through the portal came a
creature wose power far surpassed his own. The demon Skorne, Ruler of the
Underworld, entered into the land of the Eight Realms.
Without the thirteenth Runestone, Garm was unable to control Skorne, and the
Demon Prince broke free and crushed the foolish young mage, banishing his
spirit to the Underworld. Skorne immediately summoned his minions from the
Underworld, and, using the portals in Sumner's Tower, sent them throughout the
Eight Realms to wreak havoc upon the land. Then he scattered the twelve
Runestones to the far reaches of each realm so that they would never be used
against him.
Sensing that something was wrong, Sumner returned to his Tower and was
horrified by what had happened. The magic portals, which had once been used
to keep the land at peace, were now being used to bring about its destruction.
Summoning all of his strenght, Sumner sealed every portal in his tower and
fought back the demon Skorne. Even the mighty Demon Prince was no match for
Sumner's power, and Skorne fled to an ancient Temple, which was sealed with
either Magical Shards. Each of these was given to one of Skorne's most
powerful minions to be guarded.
Exhausted by his earlier efforts, Sumner was unable to break Skorne's seal.
Using the last of his strength, he summoned the mightiest hero from each of
the Eight Realms. To tem he entrusted the task of defeating Skorne's
guarians, and sending the Demon Prince back to the Underworld. The fate of
the land is in their hands!
-game manual
As in everygame like this, Gauntlet Dark Legacy has a pretty basic story.
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 2. Basics |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Gauntlet Dark Legacy (GDL) is a pretty basic game. All you pretty much do is
go around and shoot anything that moves. Well there are some parts
to GDL that you will see throughtout your quest. They are also known as the
basics of GDL. It is crutial that you know all of these things, as without
knowing the basics of this game, it could prove trouble later on in the game.
|===========================|
|A) Elevators and Platforms |
|===========================|
These are everywhere in the game. They are used to get to a new part of the
level. There are many different types of these. Platforms with a multi
color squares on them are "friend" like pads. If you are playing with more
than one person, everyone must step on the pad before the platform will
activate. These platforms are usually only one way, meaning once you get on
the platform you will not be able to revist the part of the level you were just
on. All of these platforms will take you to a new area of the level, or
activate a major geography event. Other platforms and elevators will work once
you step on them. These also take you to new parts of the level, and unlike the
colourful switches, you can usualy activate these elevators as many times as
you need to. Most of these elevators will lead to some special items, so be
sure to watch out for that. Also, don't make the mistake I made and thats not
waiting for elevators to activate. They all take a little while to get going.
Always be on the lookout for these areas, some of them are very well hidden
into the land.
|===========================|
|B) Switches |
|===========================|
Switches will do anything. They might release items, trigger events on the
land, open a door you must go through, anything! There are three types of
switches:
-Ground Switches: These switches are red (until you press them, then they turn
green). They are all over the ground, and are often in hidden areas. To
activate them, just run over them.
-Wall Switches: These look like little levers that stick out of the wall. When
they are off, the lever points towards the ground. To activate them, simply
walk into them.
-Target Switches: These are on walls where you can't reach. To activate them
you will have to shoot them with you're slow or fast attack. This will activate
them if you hit it. They look like targets, with white and red circles on it.
All switches (except the target) will have an arrow on them pointing in the
general direction of what they trigured. (Most switches will also result in a
short cutscene showing what they have done). If you can't seem to find where to
go next in a level, look around that area. There will always be a switch that
will activate some sort of event that will let you continue on.
|===========================|
|C) Other Stuff |
|===========================|
Here I will talk about other things you will need to know for the basics of the
game. These can be found from talking to Sumner in the main room in his tower
when you start the quest (this talked about later on in the FAQ).
-A chest with death can be turned from sour to sweet by using magic.
-Picking up a turbo powerup when your meter is full will waste its power.
-While in Sumner's Tower, you're items will not be depleted.
-You can double the duration of a powerup by purchasing it twice.
-Having spare keys can save you both time and travel.
-Beware of what Pojo eats.
-At level 25 a hero gains new magic abilities.
-The route backwards within a realm may become blocked as you progress,so leave
behind!
-The location of items may change when two or more heros enter a realm.
-Eating food when your health is full may cause some of it to be wasted.
(Unlock more in Sumner's tower *progressing further through the game* to gain
these next hints from him).
-You're precious food can be spoiled from the toxic green gas.
-Becareful what you shoot. Explosions can destroy valuable items.
-You may need to activate hidden switches to proceed.
-Never leave Sumner's Tower without a full turbo.
-Find a secret door and a beast can be released by getting all the coins.
-Sumner has placed scrolls to help you in each realm (**more about this later!)
-Keys are more valuable than junk and some foods.
-You must find enough crystals of the appropriate colour to enter each realm.
-Sections of the tower can only be unlocked by finding the certain gold items.
-You may trade you're gold for health, keys, and weapons.
-The power of invisibility is useless against Skorne's mighty guardians. (boss)
-Powerups have a shorter duration when facing Skorne's Guardians.
-A less experienced hero should not spend gold on improving his attributes.
-If a Runestone cannot be found, banish Skorne and Sumner will show you the way.
-"The beast within each character beings and ends stronger in every way."
-Be sure to vanquish Golems and Generals, as they may have valuables.
(Unlock more in SUmner's Tower *progressing further through the game* to gain
these next hints from him).
-A wist man carries a full key ring into the Desecrated Temple.
-Skorne is more powerful than magic. Yours is useless against him.
-In the Underworld, the only food you have is held by two fire golems.
-At level 75, your magic will begin to heal you and your comrades.
-Once you become a legend (level 99)you should no longer fear the Black Death.
And that is all Sumner has to tell you. All of these hints are important, and
you will see why as you go through the game.
**For the scrolls, they do provide helpful hints and there are many in each
level. But I do warn you now, as for many times whenever I go to pick up a
scrole they freeze my game. GDL is known for freezing, so I will point out
which scrolls do seem to freeze for me a lot (as there are a few that stand
out from the rest). It may just be from my system/game, but I might as well
warn you about it to, as getting through a whole level (cause the levels are
huge in GDL) and having it freeze would suck, since you woudln't be able to
save you're progress is you're game is frozen. Do watch out!
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 3. The Controls |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
I will put the controls in a table. Now, they do vary for the different consols
since they have different buttons (duh!). Since this guide is for the Gamecube
version of GDL, then these controls are for the Gamecube version. There are
different types on control's you can use (avaliable in the option menu in the
game), where you can change you're controller set up. The changes arn't
dramatic, but can make a difference, for example the "Robotron" setting is
great for fighting some bosses. You can change these controls in the "settings"
option in gameplay, or from the option menu when you start up the game.

press Z. This will cause one of you to start you're very strong attack combo.
Both of you, however, will lose you're whole Turbo Meter.
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 4. Main Screen |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
When you start up the game, you will first see the main screen. Here, you will
chose what you want to do. The very first screen has two options on it. They
are: "Start" and "Options". If you chose Options first...
Option Menu: There are 4 submenu's here, which are Audio, Game Options,
Compass, and Controls. In the Audio menu, you will select the game's music
volume and the game's sound effect volume (SFX Volume). You also select either
Mono or Stereo sound (for those of you out there who have surround sound systems
don't worry. The game itself doesn't seem to have a format for Surround Sound,
but the Gamecube does come with a Surround Sound format anywayz, so it'll
sound fine on you're system. In the Game Options menu, you will select the
game's difficulty and Multiplayer mode. In difficulty, select either Easy,
Medium or Hard. First time players, take it from me and go with easy. This game
gets VERY hard later on, even on easy. Hard mode is suicide for boss battles.
In the Multiplayer area, select a few things that will go with a multiplayer
game, such as turning "Friendly Fire" on or off. In the Compass controls, you
will select if you are able to see the compass or not in the game. In the
Controls section, you will select the style of contrls (default, arcade, or
robotron-you can also do this in game). You will be able to turn the Rumble
Featuer on or off. You will be able to turn Auto Aim on or off (automatically
aims towards enemies for you, very helpful). Lastly, you will be able to turn
Auto Attack on or off (this will automatically melee attack if enemies are
approaching you, although of course you can do this by your self even if you
have it set to ON. Its a good idea to keep it on).
Once you have all the options the way you like them, select Start...
There are two choices here. If you want to start a whole new adventure, then
select "New". If you want to load a game you've already started (providing you
saved it last time), then go to Load. If you select load...press A to access
the memory card to load your files. After that, chose your game file and
continue on. If this is your first time playing, or you want to just start a
new adventure, go to "new". Here you will have to enter you're name (this is
also the place where you will input codes, more on codes near the end of this
FAQ, there I will tell you how to enter them and what they are). Once you enter
you're name, you will come up to a "Chose the Character" screen. Right now, you
have 8 avaliable characters out of the total 16. You will unlock those other
characters later. Take a look at their attributs, and see which one you like
most (I would suggest the Warrior for first time players). Then press A to
select that character. This will bring you into the game!
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 5. The Characters |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
There are 16 characters total in the game. When you first start a new adventure,
you will only have 8 avaliable characters. I will get to unlocking new
characters in the walkthrough, as you must unlock them in certain levels.
The character system in this game is great. Each character has their own special
area in their attributs. Meaning, most characters will special in Strength,
Speed, Armor, or Magic. Chose which character you like the most. For example,
if you love using characters who are fast, you should go with the Archer. If
you love using a character who attacks quickly, you should use the Jester. If
you love a character with a really strong attack, you should choose the Warrior,
and if you love a character with a strong magic ability, go with the Wizard.
|===========================|
|A) Battle Strategies |
|===========================|
This will vary with each character, depending on their special strength, but
there are some special strategies that will work with all characters, and will
be very useful if you master them. Inface, if you don't master them that will
spell trouble later in the game when the enemies get much tougher. And then
there are the bosses...
Now lets start with strategies when you're facing certain enemies:
Ankle Biters...also known as Level One Enemies- These guys are a pain. They
arn't very powerful, but they will get very annoying. To take care of them, I
suggest that you don't go rusing to and killing them with melee attacks. First
of all, half you're melee attacks won't do anything to them as they are so
small, you will just miss. I stay back and continue to shoot them. When there
are few left, I will move up a little bit and continue on until I am right by
the generator. These little guys tend to respond quite fast, but they take
(usualy) only one quick attack to kill.
Orcs...also known as Level Two Enemies- These are the most common enemy. There
are many different types of Orcs, as it depends on the level you are playing
on (there are many different types of enemies for all levels, it all depends on
the area you are playing). These guys also arn't very strong. Think of them just
as average enemies. To take care of them, simply stand back and continue firing
at them until you overwealm then. Usualy your shot will fire quicker than they
will respond. Just firing at the generator will work, as you will get lots
of experience, and you will destroy the generator eventually. Also, in later
levels you are going to have to melee attack them because they will just
respawn to damn fast.
Advanced Enemies...also known as Level Three Enemies- these are the hardest guys
in the game. First of all, they usually will take about three hits to take down.
Also, most of them have a gun that will fire at you as well. So not only are
you going to have to kill them, you're going to have to dodge their attack
as well. I don't suggest going in to melee attack, as they are pretty smart
with Melee attacks as well. Staying back and shooting and strafing is a great
way to kill them.
Enemies come out of special little holes called "Generators". These things will
spawn an infinite amout of enemies, so the only way to stop the flow is to
destroy the generator itself. When facing enemies such as level one and two, it
is best to go for the generator first. Leave the enemies be (this is different
for advanced grunts) and go right for the generator. This is because there can
only be a certain amout of enemies out of that generator at a time. Destroying
enemies will just give you more. Destroy the generator first off, and you won't
have to deal with anymore enemies. Now with advanced grunts that fire shots
at you, you're going to have to kill them just by staying back. They don't
tend to wander away from their generator, as if they are protecting it. Just
blast them and hopefully some of your shots will get through and destroy the
generator.
Now lets talk about the strafing technique. This is great against bosses. Press
and hold the R Button to only be able to move side to side. You cannot move
forward or backwards. Why is this great against bosses? Well most bosses don't
move, they stay in one area. They will often through some sort of stuff
at you. Now if you are able to strafe, they will ALWAYS miss you, yet you can
keep quick attacking them. (Noramlly you can't move while you're holding the A
Button). In fights against later bosses, if you don't know how to do this I
assure you beating them will be impossible since they will hit you if you walk
normally. Be sure to master this! When up against Advanced Grunts that will
fire shots at you, this is also good as you can dodge their shots and you can
attack them at the same time.
If you don't like that, you can always try defending. If there is a shot coming
toward you, quickly press and hold the B Button. Your character will make a
stance and you will get only about 25-50% of the damage that was intended. This
will make a HUGE difference in boss battles, as getting only half damage as full
damage will let you stay alive twice or three times as long in boss fights.
I would advise you to use the strafe technique though, because in that way you
won't take ANY damage at all. Defending is good for last second purposes.
Now there are three more types of enemies that I must state that will cause you
the most trouble in normal levels. They are the Generals, Golems, and
Gargoyles. Generals are huge, and they are just like Godzilla sized advanced
grunts. These guys will cause a lot of pain. The best strategy is to stay away
from them. Their only attack is their melee and charge. No General has any
long range attack. Another GREAT way is to trap them. If you see a general, try
to get some sort of object in between you and the General, for example a very
short wall or a hole in the ground. Generals are stupid, and they will not go
around the object, leaving them helpless and leaving you all the time in the
world to kill them. This is the easiest way to defeat them, but be sure to stay
back. Even though they are trapped, they can still melee attack you if you get
to close. Other ways is to just attack, walk back, attack, walk back technique.
When you are facing Golems, be just as careful. They're very slow and don't have
long range attacks, but they have a VERY strong melee attack. Just stay back
and shoot at them. Like Generals, try to get them trapped.
Gargoyles are the hardest enemies in normal levels. These are the enemies in
which you will get you're Golden Icons from. They are extreamly strong. They
have a long range attack (which is some sort of energy ball depending on their
type), and a melee tallon attack and some sort of breath attack. Simply take
cover. Stay back! Their melee attacks can kill you very fast. Stay back and
strafe and shoot. This way you will hit them while missing their energy
ball attack. These guys are a great source of experience points to.
|===========================|
|B) The Level System |
|===========================|
This system isn't new to video games. All characters will start the game at
level 1. You're attributs will be low, and you're health will be at 500 (the
average enemy hit probably deals about 10-15 or so damage). As you progress
through the game, your level will also increase. To increase your level, you
must gain experience. Every hit you make on an enemy (not everytime you KILL the
enemy, every single hit will give you some experience). Now when you first
start out the game, you will need very little experience to gain to level 2.
For every level that you gain, it will take more and more experience to gain
the next level. Don't worry though, because in later worlds the enemies are
harder which means they will give you move experience for every hit.
Everytime you gain another level, you're attributes will go up by 5. So for
example, if you have 500 for your Armor rating, when you gain your next level,
you're Armor will now be 505. This is the same for all of your attibutes. Your
health will also go up for every level you gain. Your max health will go up by
100 for each level you grow. When you start the game, you have 500 health
points. Everytime you get hit, you're health will go down. Collection food will
give you more points, but you cannot currently go over 500. When you gain a
level (so level 2 in this case) you will now have 600 health points. You can
never go over your old health max of 500. There is only one way you can go over
your health max, and thats by gaining extra health from Death (more on that
later). You are able to boost your attribute points by buying them from
Sumner in his shop in the Tower.
All characters have the attributes Strength, Armor, Speed, and Magic. Here is
a brief description of them:
Strength: This refers to your attack power. The higher your strenth is, the more
damage you will inflict on enemies. The Dwarf, Ogre, Warrior, and Minotaur are
the players that have the highest starting points in this area.
Armor: This refers to the defense of your character. The higher the points in
this area, the less damage your character will take. The Valkyrie, Falconess,
Knight, and Unicorn are the players that have the highest starting points
in this area.
Speed: Speed is the rate at how fast your character will run. The higher their
speed rating, the faster they will run. Speed also will determine the rate of
how fast the character will fire their quick attack. The Archer, Jester, Hyena,
and Tigress are the fastest characters.
Magic: Magic is your potion. The highers the points in magic, the larger the
blast radious of your potions when you activate one. Also, they will be more
powerful when you have a high magic count.
One of the best parts to gaining levels is your Familiar. The Familiar is
a little flying bird thing that will always be by your side. Whenever you fire
a shot (regardless of quick or slow attack, or using an item of some sort where
you fire a shot) he will also shoot out a ball of energy. This is very useful
as you are able to shoot twice as many shots, although his shot isn't that
strong. You get the first Familiar at level 30. At level 80 he is upgraded.
These guys are a huge help when fighting bosses as they will take extra damage
off for you. Familiars have a high shot though, which means they can't hit
level one enemies (the ankle biter enemies). He is the exact same as the
Phoenix Familiar, except the Phoenix has a stronger shot, and he only stays
with you for a short time. Each character has a different looking Familiar.
At level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 99 your character will change in
appearance (Sumner will do this for you automatically). These changes may be in
cloths, weapon, and they tend to get bigger. At levels 10,20,40,60,80, and 99
your character will gain a new name (title). At level 99 you will become a
"Legend". *No, this game doesn't let you get to level 100, and your attributes
are maxed out at 999*.
At certain levels, your magic will also deal different things. At level 25,
Sumner will say that your magic will now do something aside from just killing
everyting around you. Some of these will be (for example), stopping traps for
a limited time, unspoiling spoiled fruit, making secret doors blink so you can
see them. This is quite helpful, espically the making secret doors blink one,
because if you are stuck you can use a magic in the area you are stuck and see
if a secret wall is hiding a switch. While it blinks, you will be able to see
where the secret is and shoot it down. When your character gets to level 50,
their magic ability will increase yet again. Now, if your character for example
stopped traps for a temporary time, now you're magic will completely destroy
the traps. This is VERY useful. Magic will now cure spoiled meat, turn junk
into gold, make secret doors be destroyed. Remember though, it depeonds on
the character that you are using. For example, the Dwarf's special ability
will let you turn junk into silver or gold, while the Archer will make the
secrets flash. The Archer cannot turn junk into gold or silver. At level 85,
whenever you use magic it will now HEAL you. Not fully, but it will give you
back some health which is VERY helpful in the last few battles. Not only this,
if you are playing with other players, whenever someone uses a magic it will
equally heal everyone. How nice is that?
So as you can see gaining levels are very important, as you must be of certain
levels as you enter certain realms (I will be stating these, you don't HAVE to
be those levels, but it will make it easier). It will also be best if you are
at a high level before you face ANY boss. Even the easiest boss (the Fire
Dragon) is easier to fight at level 50 than at about level 15 or 20 (thats
the level you will approx. be when you get to the dragon). If you ever need
to gain more levels, play a level that has strong enemies and lots of Golems,
Generals, and Gargoyles. Gargoyles are the best source for experience (aside
from the bosses themselves).

Each character has their own special stats and abilities. Here, I will show
all of the characters abilities at the START of the game, as well as some
other information about them. If you don't know who to choose, than take a look
at these following lists.
*NOTE* All characters at level 99 will be titles a "Legend".
|===========================|
|A) Warrior/Minotaur |

Unlock him in the treasure room in the Peak level of the Fire Mountain Realm
(the second Realm).
|===========================|
|B) Valkyrie/Falconess |
|===========================|
Valkyrie:

The Valkyrie is great for beginners because she is quite evenly distributed
in the stats. Plus, you have a good Armor rating.
Falconess:

~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 350 Level 10 : Guardian
Armor : 500 Level 20 : Protector
Magic : 350 Level 40 : Defender

The Falconess is alot like the Valkyrie, except her attributes are a little
bit higher. She is a evenly distributed character. She has pretty strong
armor.
You unlock her in the Dungeon level in the Castle Realm (the third Realm).
|===========================|
|C) Wizard/Jackal |
|===========================|
Wizard:
~~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 250 Level 10 : Magician
Armor : 150 Level 20 : Mage
Magic : 600 Level 40 : Conjurer
Speed : 350 Level 60 : Spellcaster
Health : 500 Level 80 : Archmage

Weak in: Armor
Quick Attack: Fast
Slow Attack: Average
Level 25 Ability: Magic turns Poison Fruit into normal fruit
Level 50 Ability: Magic turns Poison Meat into normal meat
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals other players
The Wizard is one of the hardest players to use in the game. This is because
his attributes except his magic are very weak. He takes a lot of damage,
doesn't deal a lot of damage, and isn't very fast. Although, his magic attack
is absoutly devistation when you first start the game since it starts at 600
already. Only experienced players should play with him.
Jackal:

Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 300 Level 10 : Magician
Armor : 200 Level 20 : Mage
Magic : 650 Level 40 : Conjurer

Health : 500 Level 80 : Archmage

Weak in: Armor
Quick Attack: Fast
Slow Attack: Average
Level 25 Ability: Magic turns Poison Fruit into normal fruit
Level 50 Ability: Magic turns Poison Meat into normal meat
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals other players
Just like the Wizard, this guy is also extreamly weak in stats (+50 in every
stat compared to Wizard, except health), but his Magic is even stronger. Once
again I would suggest you only use him if you have played through the game once
before.
You unlock him in the Treasure Room in the Temple level in the Desert Realm
(which is the sixth Realm).
|===========================|
|D) Archer/Tigress |
|===========================|
Archer:
~~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 250 Level 10 : Scout
Armor : 200 Level 20 : Veteran
Magic : 300 Level 40 : Ranger

Health : 500 Level 80 : Master
Weapon: Bow and Arrow

Weak Turbo Attack: Double Bow
Strong in: Speed
Weak in: Armor
Quick Attack: Very Fast
Slow Attack: Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic makes secret walls flash
Level 50 Ability: Magic destroyes secret walls
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals other players
The Archer is one of my favourite characters. He has a very fast shot (because
of his high speed count), and is able to get away form bad situations. His
other attributs are pretty evenly dispatched. He's also a great starting
character. His Full Turbo attack is one of my favourites in the game :)
Tigress:
~~~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 300 Level 10 : Scout
Armor : 250 Level 20 : Veteran
Magic : 350 Level 40 : Ranger
Speed : 650 Level 60 : Captain
Health : 500 Level 80 : Master
Weapon: Bow and Arrow
Turbo Attack: BFG
Weak Turbo Attack: Double Bow
Strong in: Speed
Weak in: Armor
Quick Attack: Very Fast
Slow Attack: Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic makes secret walls flash
Level 50 Ability: Magic destroyes secret walls
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals other players
The Tigress is just like the Archer, not really any different other than a
little big more starting points. Her speed is what really will help you out.
Unlock her in the Treasure Room in the Tree level of the Forest Realm (which
is the 5th Realm).
|===========================|
|E) Sorceress/Medusa |
|===========================|
Sorceress:
~~~~~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 200 Level 10 : Witch
Armor : 150 Level 20 : Conjurer
Magic : 600 Level 40 : Spellcaster
Speed : 400 Level 60 : Spellshaper
Health : 500 Level 80 : Necromancer
Weapon: Magic Wand
Turbo Attack: Spell Storm
Weak Turbo Attack: Acid Rain
Strong in: Magic
Weak in: Armor
Quick Attack: Fast
Slow Attack: Average
Level 25 Ability: Magic turns Poison Fruit into normal fruit
Level 50 Ability: Magic turns Poison Meat into normal meat
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals other players
The Sorceress is a lot like the Wizard group. She is very strong in the magic
field. She is also quite fast, but very weak in Strength and Armor. I don't
like her very much, as kill enemies later on in the game gets quite hard
because of her low strength.
Medusa:
~~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 250 Level 10 : Witch
Armor : 200 Level 20 : Conjurer

Weak in: Armor
Quick Attack: Fast
Slow Attack: Average
Level 25 Ability: Magic turns Poison Fruit into normal fruit
Level 50 Ability: Magic turns Poison Meat into normal meat
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals other players
The Medusa is an intreasting looking character. She is great for people who
like speed and love magic power, but be careful with you're low Strength and
Armor.
Unlock the Medusa in the Treasure Room in the Town level of the Province Realm
(this is the first Realm).
|===========================|
|F) Knight/Unicorn |

Knght:

Strong in: Armor
Weak in: Magic
Quick Attack: Slow
Slow Attack: Very Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic stops traps for 10 seconds
Level 50 Ability: Magic destroys traps
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals players
The Knight is my favourite character. He is pretty well balanced, has good
strength, strong in armor, weak but ok magic and hes pretty fast. Also, his slow
attack is just as useful as his quick attack, they fire at the same rate pretty
much.
Unicorn:
~~~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 400 Level 10 : Faun
Armor : 500 Level 20 : Protector
Magic : 300 Level 40 : Cavalier

Strong in: Armor
Weak in: Magic
Quick Attack: Slow
Slow Attack: Very Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic stops traps for 10 seconds
Level 50 Ability: Magic destroys traps

The Unicorn is also a great character, looks pretty cool to. I like using this
character, well balanced and all of her attributes are pretty high for a
starting character.
You unlock the Unicorn in the Toxic Spire level of the Sky Realm (which is the
fourth realm).
|===========================|
|G) Dwarf/Ogre |
|===========================|
Dwarf:

Strong in: Strength
Weak in: Magic
Quick Attack: Average
Slow Attack: Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic will turn Junk into Silver
Level 50 Ability: Magic will turn Junk into Gold
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals players
The Dwarf is a hard character to use. His only strong attribute is his Strenth.
His Armor is not bad, and he isn't very fast. Absoutly forget about using magic
with him, as it is extremely weak with the Dwarf.
Ogre:
~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 650 Level 10 : Grunt
Armor : 400 Level 20 : Mercenary
Magic : 150 Level 40 : Captain

Strong in: Strength
Weak in: Magic
Quick Attack: Average
Slow Attack: Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic will turn Junk into Silver
Level 50 Ability: Magic will turn Junk into Gold
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals players
The Ogre is also a hard player to use, but when you master him he's one of the
best characters in the game since he is so strong and has pretty good armor.
You unlock him in the Docks level of the Ice Realm (which is the 7th Realm).
|===========================|
|H) Jester/Hyena |
|===========================|
Jester:
~~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 200 Level 10 : Prankster
Armor : 200 Level 20 : Joker
Magic : 350 Level 40 : Clown
Speed : 600 Level 60 : Trickster
Health : 500 Level 80 : Fool
Weapon: Bomb and Skull Puppet
Turbo Attack: Hammertime
Weak Turbo Attack: Sonic Boom
Strong in: Speed
Weak in: Strength/Armor
Quick Attack: Very Fast
Slow Attack: Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic will make secrets flash
Level 50 Ability: Magic will destroy secret walls
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals players
The Jester is a funny character. He is extreamly lanky and foolish, yet he is
a pretty good character. He's all about speed, and his attacks (bombs) have a
blast effect for extra damage.
Hyena:
~~~~~~
Statistics: Level Titles:
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 250 Level 10 : Prankster
Armor : 250 Level 20 : Joker
Magic : 400 Level 40 : Clown
Speed : 650 Level 60 : Trickster
Health : 500 Level 80 : Fool
Weapon: Bomb and Skull Puppet
Turbo Attack: Hammertime
Weak Turbo Attack: Sonic Boom
Strong in: Speed
Weak in: Strength/Armor
Quick Attack: Very Fast
Slow Attack: Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic will make secrets flash
Level 50 Ability: Magic will destroy secret walls
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals players
The Hyena is a mysterious character. Like the Jester, it acts the same way and
is a very fast character. I don't like it all that much though, I find its
not very useful in later levels when you really want the strength.
|===========================|
|I) Sumner |
|===========================|
Sumner:
~~~~~~~
Statistics:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Strength : 999
Armor : 999
Magic : 999
Speed : 999
Health : 9999
Weapon: Staff
Turbo Attack: Demon Skull
Weak Turbo Attack: Rock Shower
Strong in: Everything
Weak in: Nothing
Quick Attack: Fast
Slow Attack: Fast
Level 25 Ability: Magic turns poison fruit into normal fruit
Level 50 Ability: Magic turns poison meat into normal meat
Level 75 Ability: Magic heals players
Sumner is only avaliable by beating an extremely hard puzzle in the second last
level in the game. Sumner has perfect stats from the beginning, and is
extremely powerful. Its fun to go through the adventure with him, as its hard
for you to lose. If you want to play on "hard" mode though, you should play as
him. *Hard mode is... very.. hard*. Playing as Sumner is just for fun.
The only thing you got to do is beat a puzzle (Treasure Room) that took me at
least 20 tries before I finally did it.

| 7. The Enemies |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Enemies are everyting to this game. There are different enemies for each
Realm. There are so many types of enemies, but they are all quite easy to
defeat (but yes, with the exception of a few). Here I will put a review of all
the different enemies in the game (Just the basic enemies, the overview of
certain enemies will be in the Realm Part of the walkthrough).
|===========================|
|A) Dealing with Enemies |
|===========================|
Enemies are the soul part to Gauntlet Dark Legacy. The best way to get rid of
enemies is to take out their generator first, which is simple. You just have
to shot it a few times (just once or twice) and it will then be destroyed. If
you don't destroy a generator, then it will continue to spawn out enemies
for infinity. Whenever you would kill an enemy, it will just spawn out a new
one. Destroying the generator is the only way to stop the enemy onslaught.
Some enemies (in later levels) will come out of the generators much fast than
the enemies in earlier levels. In these later Realms, you will have to use
your melee attacks (going up to enemies and keep pressing A or Y or AAY and
different combonations of the A and Y buttons to make combos which do score you
more experience for your level). Melee attacks are said to give you more
experience than just shooting at enemies. Nuntheless, its still a good idea to
take out enemies who shoot back at you with your normal shots so you will be
able to dodge their attacks. (This was talked about in Chapter 5).
|===========================|
|B) Generators |
|===========================|
As I have said many times, these are the things that will spawn enemies.
Generators come in all shapes and sizes, and are usually located on the wall or
floor of a level. Each enemy has its own seperate generator. Generators have
three stages:
Full Stage-Level 3-This stage is when a generator is in full contact. These
will sprew out the most powerful enemies that it can produce. When you hit the
generator once, it will go down a level...
Middle Stage-Level 2- This stage is when a generator is falling apart. (Most
generators are like this already). They will spawn level 2 of that type of
that type of enemy. Hit the generator again and it will go down to its last
level...
Last Stage-Level 1- These generators are about to be destroyed and produce only
level one (the weakest types of enemies) that that generator can produce. One
more hit will completely destroy the generator and no more enemies will come
out of it.
Now remember there are three types of enemies in each Realm, the Ancle Biters,
the Grunts, and the Advanced. All of these enemies have their own generator
of their own kind. Each generator also consists of three levels, where a full
generator will produce stronger enemies than when the generator is almost
destroyed (even though the enemies won't have changed that much). Three is
a magical number in this game.
|===========================|
|C) 1st Level Enemies |
|===========================|
These are the most annoying enemies in the game, well thats what I think. These
little guys are refered to as "Ankle Biters" as that is what they do. They
are the smallest enemies in the game (remember depends on the level you are
playing on, they change from Realm to Realm). These guys will crawl along the
floor where they are hard to target them with your normal shot. What you can
do is just walk up to one of them, and simply step on them (which your
character will do automatically). Watch out though, because if there are a lot
of them doing this can be a mistake, as they will all start to bite you. In
later levels, its best to just stand back and keep shooting at their generator
until you finally destroy it. They deal very little damage to you, but since
there are so many of them and since they can easily surround you, they can
take of a LOT of damage.
|===========================|
|D) 2nd Level Enemies |
|===========================|
These are the most common enemies. They are the Grunts (or orcs or whatever
you want to call them), and they are kind of the average enemy. They only have
melee weapons, and can only hit you IF you go near them. This makes it very
easy for you in early levels. All you simply have to do is stand back and shoot
at them and the generator and you'll get through them quickly. Heck, you can
even go up and use melee attacks because they arn't very smart in the earlier
levels. Now when it gets to later levels, this is when they become a pain. In
later levels, there are a TON of generators, and they spawn out so fast. In
these later levels, its best if you simply go in and use combo's melee attack
to take them down. Its the easiest way to get rid of their generator. They
also get smart as the game goes on, and they get faster as well and they will
deal much more damage.
|===========================|
|E) 3rd Level Enemies |
|===========================|
These are the Advanced Grunts. They only appear in one or two levels out of the
average 5 or so levels per Realm. They are quite tough, as most of them have
a weapon that will shoot projectile weapons at you. The best way to get rid
of these guys is to stay back and fire a slow attack at them. This should kill
each one in one hit (depending on the strength of your character). They
don't tend to come out of their generators very fast (in later levels they do).
Strafe side to side and keep shooting your slow attack at them. This way you
will dodge their shots and at the same time you will kill them. You can also
go up and melee attack them (which you have to do in the latest levels as they
spawn quickly, but depending on your characters speed, you might be able to
shoot faster than they respond, thats what the Jester is good for, or the
Knight's slow attack). But when you do, you must attack them with combos
because they will start to melee attack you to, and they hurt.
|===========================|
|F) Special Enemies |
|===========================|
There are a few enemies you will see in each Realm that are the same (aside
from the strongest enemies, the Gargoyles and such). These enemies are the:
Archers: These guys will often stand on a little piece of land that you can't
get to, and will fire arrows at you. These guys are quite annoying, but they
are easy to take down as a shot will kill them. Be sure to kill them before
they even notice you, this is easy to do, shoot them from a distance. Don't
bother going up to melee attack them, they will start to run backwards and
shoot at you with their arrows which is pointless health loss.
Bombers: Like the Archers, these guys tend to stay on an off path, but instead
of shooting arrows at you, they will through bomb after bomb at you, which in
some ways is more annoying than the arrows because of their blast radius. Kill
them before the notice you. They will also retreat and through if you get to
close. Both the Archers and Bombers look like normal level 2 enemies.
Suicide Bombers: These guys are STUPID. They have a barrel on their back
(either an Explosive Barrel of Toxic Gas Barrel), and as soon as they spot you
they will make a scream and start to charge towards you. If they hit you it
spells trouble. A good thing about them though is if you kill them before
they charge, their barrel will explode which could take out other enemies that
are around them.
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 8. Extream Enemies |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Yeah I kinda named this chapter a stupid name, but these enemies are quite
difficult to deal with. These guys are about in every level, although only a
few times in each. They take a lot of hits to destroy, have a good offence, and
you really will have to watch out for them.
|===========================|
|A) Generals |
|===========================|
Generals are like normal Grunts, just a lot bigger and stronger and faster.
There are usualy about 2+ Generals in each level, and in later levels will
attack you with a partner. Generals do not have any far range attack, but most
will carry a large sort of stick (such as the generals in the Forsaken Province
carry a large Scythe) and will attack you with that (melee attack you). Now
their weapons have quite an attack range, so don't go to close to them. The
best way to defeat them is to stay back and keep shooting slow attacks (or
fast if your characters slow attack is terrible). They will defend on some
of your slow attacks. Here's a neat little trick: Have your turbo fully
charged and fire a slow attack at a general. They will defend against it, but
once its over they can't defend twice quickly. Once their defend move is over,
quickly fire a turbo attack at them. They won't be able to defend against it,
and will take the full Turbo damage. If you fire a turbo attack them before
doing this trick, then they will defend against it and won't take full damage
from the Turbo. Also, they are quite stupid, so try to get them stuck behind a
wall or ledge and shoot at them while they can't get to you. Generals are only
hard to deal with when there is a very little space to fight them (such as the
boat when you first start the Toxic Spire level on the Sky Realm). One golden
rule to fighting them is to never go in and start melee attacking them. They
will always get the last laugh as their melee attack is MUCH stronger than
yours. Never melee attack them you will lose a lot of health each time. Also,
be careful of the Generals making a charge attack (like the charge you have).
|===========================|
|A) Golems |
|===========================|
These guys are like Generals, and are in almost every level later on in the
game. These guys are the biggest normal enemy in the game. They are so big,
that they are also the slowest enemies in the game. They, like the Generals,
have no attack that can hit you from long range, but their Melee attack is
absoutly devistating! It takes off about 100 health or so (to me that is,
depending on your characters armor), and will attack pretty quickly. Stay
away from them! Attack them from a distance and they won't be able to do
anything to you, and they don't have a charge attack. They also will use a
defend attack, so the Turbo trick will work with them to. You can also
trap them behind little walls as they are stupid like the generals and won't
go around the walls. They really arn't that difficult at all, as long as you
stay away from them and don't go in with turbo attacks. Generals also hide
in some part of the level, for example the Generals in the Forsaken Province
look like patches of grass, and when you approach them they will pop up
from the ground. In other levels they come out of boxes, and always hide in
some part of the level.
|===========================|
|C) Gargoyles |
|===========================|
Ok, now these are the hard enemies out of the three special enemies. Gargoyles
are the hardest and most difficult enemies to deal with in the normal levels.
They have both short and long range attacks, and both do a good deal of damage.
They also have a pretty big health meter. There are three different types of
gargoyles...Each type will give off a different type of golden item, and each
type are in one of the three different Wings of the tower.
The Snake headed gargoyle has the powers of acid and leaves behind golden fangs.
The Eagle headed gargoyle has the powers of electricity and will leave behind
a golden feather. The Lion headed Gargoyle (the strongest of them) has the
powers fire and he will leave a golden claw behind. Defeat these beasts and
be sure to get their golden items, as its the only way to open up the three
different wings. To fight these guys, you should always use a powerup. Weapon
powerups, such as amulets to powerup your quick and slow attack. This way
you will deal more damage per hit. Also, stay away from them! Their breath
attacks and tallons will deal a lot of damage! Their long range attack is an
energy ball of the element in which they represent. They do some damage, but
are easy to dodge if you are strafing, as they won't be able to hit you
if you are moving like that. There are gargoyles in almost every level, some
have a few gargoyles. These guys can easily kill you if try to kill them with
melee attacks. Other than that, just use powerup items and all will be fine.
|===========================|
|D) Death (Black and Red) |
|===========================|
This guy is a pain. Deaths are tall and skinny, and are dressed in robes. They
are the worst enemies in the game, yet at the same time they can be the
best enemies in the game as well. There are two types of death, one with a
Red Death (who steals health) and Black Death (who steals levels). A red death
will take up to 100 health from you before he leaves, and a black death will
take up to one of your hard earned LEVELS before he leaves. Now there are some
lots of ways to deal with deaths. First of all, you can hit them with 100 fast
shots (or 50 slow attack shots)and that will kill them. A much easier way to
get rid of them is with a single magic blast. Magic will kill them in one hit,
so if a death is chasing you, go near it and activate a magic by pressing X,
and if he is caught within the blast, he will die right away. The best way to
deal with death is to get the Anti-Death Halo item. If a death is chasing you,
activate this item and he will start to run from you. Go up and touch death
and if its red, you will GAIN 100 health from him, so you would be stealing
from death. This is the only way to go over your maximum health count. So for
example if your max health is 1000 and you have full health and you get to a
red death, you would be able to get 11000 health now (but that won't be your
max health for good). If you use a Halo on black death, he will GIVE you a
level. As easy as that! Death can be the best character in the game! As long
as you have a Halo with you.
Death has a few hiding places. Sometimes he will be frozen in a stone form
and stands out in the open. He will unfreeze if you walk past him, or touch
him. This is a giveaway death. If you don't have a Halo, just go near him and
use a magic, he won't know what hit him. Deaths will also hide in treasure
chests and the odd barrel. So if you have the X-Ray glasses item, be sure to
use it on every chest, or just look at my walkthrough as I will say what each
chest contains.

| 9. The Items |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Gauntlet Dark Legacy has tons of items, some of them being very useful in your
quest, others arn't as important. In this section, I will talk about some
regular items, and where items are heald.
|===========================|
|A) Keys and Keyrings |
|===========================|
Keys are a very important item in this game, as they are used everywhere and
found everywhere as well. Keys look like... gold keys on the levels. Keys
sometimes will be by themselves, or will be on a keyring. Keyrings will hold
2 or 3 keys. You are able to carry up to 9 keys at a time. Keys are used to
open Treasure Chests, and open some gates. You will never want to be caught
with no keys, as that might provide you with difficult times. There are lots
of keys in levels. They are found just lying on the floor, or in barrels and
Treasure Chests. You should always try to have a full or so key ring, as that
way you will never have to worry about being left with no keys.
|===========================|
|B) Scrolls |
|===========================|
Scrolls are put in the levels by Sumner. They contain very useful information,
such as how to get a secret switch or a secret item. They are always found
in barrels (which you just shoot open). They are small messages. Now there is
one problem I have found with the Scrolls (in the Gamecube version that is),
there are a few scrolls in the game that seem to be special. This is because,
they always seem to freeze my game. I always try to avoid scrolls, as their
information isn't anything important that I havn't figured out by myself. You
can get them if you want, but I have every secret (that I know of, but I think
I have all of them)in the walkthrough anyway. I will also mark the scrolls that
seem to give me a lot of trouble (since this FAQ is for the Gamecube version
of the game).
|===========================|
|C) Potions |
|===========================|
This is one of my favourite items in the game :). Like keys, you are able to
hold only 9 potions at a time (it appears on your HUD display). When you
activate a potion (by pressing X Button) a magical burst will go out around
your character. Now depending on your magic ability (under your attributes)
will depend how big the magic radious will be when you activate a magic.
If you have a very high magic ability, such as 700+, the magic blast radious
will be huge, being able to whipe out a whole room of enemies sometimes! If its
low such as around 200, then the blast radious is very small. Characters such
as the Wizard will start with a very high magic ability, so in the first level
your magic blast radious will be huge. The best time to use magic is to take
out huge areas of enemies (there will be a lot in later levels). If a lot of
enemies are attacking you from all sides, use a potion to clear them all out!
*Potion blasts kill enemies in just one hit, and will destroy generators!*
There are three different types of potions attacks:
-Press X once for the potion blast.
-Press X twice quickly for a temporary potion shield. You will take less damage
and you will be able to just walk through enemies to kill them, but it only
lasts a few seconds and you WILL still take some damage by enemies if they hit
you.
-Press and HOLD X for your character to throw the potion a short distance
away from you. This is useful if theres a bunch of enemies in front of you.
Just toss the potion in there for it to kill a bunch of enemies for you. Now
the blast radious with a thrown potion isn't as large as if you just press X.
Now there are also four different types of potions:
Green Potion: These potions are in the form of acid
Yellow Potion: These potions will make a light blast
Red Potion: These potions will create a fire wall
Blue Potion: These are in the form of electricity (they look the coolest!)
Potions are all over the levels. They will sometimes be in barrels, in treasure
chests and just lying on the level for a free potion. *Hint: Usually when there
is just a free potion lying around, there is probably a Death or a large group
of enemies near. If your character is Blue, then blue potions will be stronger
than the other potions. Potions appear as little blue,green,red,or yellow
bottles on the levels.
|===========================|
|D) Barrels |
|===========================|
Brown barrels are all around the levels. Shoot them once to open them. Barrels
contain anyting from items (usualy scrolls) to food. Some barrels also have
Death though. There are three types of barrels:
Brown Barrels: These are the ones that will contain some sort of item, and
are all over the levels.
Red Barrels: These barrels are explosive, and you will only want to shoot them
from afar. They will hurt you. Shoot them if there are enemies around to kill
the enemies, so they can be quite helpful to you. But if there is an item near
them, if the item is caught in the blast radious, it will destroy the item.
Green Barrels: These barrels contain toxic gas. They will hurt you if you
destroy them close. They will also hurt enemies, but not very much. These
barrels are just a pain. If there is food within the blast radious, it will
turn them to poison food.
|===========================|
|E) Treasure Chests |
|===========================|
Like the barrels, these are also everywhere in the levels. The difference is
they contain very valuable and useful items, but you will need a key to open
them. Treasure chests will cary any item in the game, including food. Now some
chests contain bombs, which will explode after a little while and hurt you if
you are in the blast radious, and will also be a waste of a key for you. They
will also contain poison food, and the odd time Black and Red Death. You can
use a pair of X-Ray glasses (a rare item) to see whats inside a chest before
you open the chest. This could save you keys!
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 10. Special Items |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Gauntlet Dark Legacy has many items! You can find all of these items out in
the levels, or if you really want one, you can buy them from Sumner in his
shop with your gold. Here, I will say what they are and what they do, plus
how much they cost in Sumners Shop (by the way, you can only buy them from
Sumner ONCE you FIND them ONCE in the levels, so for example you can't buy the
Thunder Hammer from Sumner until you find it in one of the levels).
Fire, Acid, and Lightning Breath
Buy from Sumner for 350 gold each
These items let you breath acid, fire, or lightning and shoot it out at enemies
which are extreamly useful as you can kill many enemies at a time with this.
Thunder Hammer
Buy from Sumner for 500 gold each
This is one of the best items in the game. With one hit from the item, it will
destroy everything in the room, including all the enemies and generators.
Three and Five Way Shot
Buy from Sumner for 550 gold each
The thee way shot will let you fire three shots at a time, which is very useful
if you are facing a boss (hint hint). The five way shot is extreamly rare, and
will let you fire five shots at one time.
Turbo Boost
Cannot Buy from Sumner
This is useful. When you fire your turbo meter, it will take a while to fill
up. This item will fill it right up for you very quickly. Good for fighting
Gargoyles, as you can fire one Turbo attack, then quickly refil your meter and
fire another blast at them right away.
Lightening and Fire Shield
Buy from Sumner for 425 gold each.
These will create a fire or lightning in front of you to clear out a line of
enemies in front of you.
Invulnerability
Buy from Sumner for 600 gold
This will make you completely invulnerable! You will turn into a steel like
character, and NO attack from any enemy or boss will be able to hit you, you
will not be able to take damage anyway! Now how nice is that?
Invisibility
Buy from Sumner for 600 gold
This item will let you become invisible, so normal enemies won't be able to see
you, it will give you an easy way to kill lots of enemies. These items will NOT
work against bosses though!
Gas Mask
Buy from Sumner for 650 gold
This item is only useful in the Sky Realm level. While wearing it, the green
toxic gas from the green barrels will not be able to hurt you. This is great
for the Sky Realm because this Realm has the most green barrels out of them
all.
Light, Lightning, Acid, and Fire Amulets
Buy from Sumner for 350 gold each
These items will power up your shots, each will give your shots the power of
that certain element. They are very useful against boss battles, and very
useful against Gargoyles! There are lots of these in the levels.
Phoenix Familiar
Buy from Sumner for 450 gold
The Phoenix is just like the Familiar you get at level 25, just he won't stay
with you forever, and his shot is VERY strong.
Growth
Buy from Sumner for 300 gold
With this you will be able to grow huge. You will grow to about the same size
as Generals! This will increase your strength, but it is only lasts for a
little time, and its easier for enemies to hit you in this form.
Pojo
Cannot buy
This item is all about humor. It will turn your character into Pojo the chicken
for a short amount of time! You will shoot out fireballs (like the Phoenix
Familiar) and will cluck when you shoot, very funny :)!
Time Stopper
Cannot buy
This item will stop time, which means all enemies (including gargoyles ;) )
will freeze, and traps will stop. This will give you a lot of time to attack
them! This does not work against bosses.
Levitation
Buy from Sumner for 150 gold
This item will let you levitate for a while. You will be able to walk over
floor traps, as well as the ankle biter enemies.
Mikey Decoy
Buy from Sumner for 1000 gold (not worth it!)
This is a funny item. Place him anywhere and enemies will be attracted to
him. This is quite useful in some areas, as you will be able to destroy
generators without the enemies going after you (this doesn't work against
generals, golems and gargoyles).
X-Ray
Buy from Sumner for 650
This is one of the best items in the game. It will let you see what is in a
Treasure Chest before you open it. This way you will know if there's a bomb
or an item you don't need, so you won't have to waste a key. Always have one in
your invintory!
Shrink Enemy
Cannot Buy
This item will... well... shrink all the enemies while its active. This will
work on gargoyles and golems and generals but NOT on bosses. It will give
gargoyles and golems and generals half their health, so its very easy to kill
them this way (they also won't do as much damage to you).
Anti Death
Buy from Sumner for 750 gold
This is my favourite item probably. While you wear it, walk up to a Death and
now he will fear you! He will start to run away because you will steal Death's
power. For example, a Red Death would GIVE you 100 health if you wear this, and
a Black Death will give you a whole LEVEL! Always have this item with you!
Hand of Death
Buy from Sumner for 1000 gold
When you are using this item, when an enemy attacks you (only with melee
attacks) it will hurt them as well.
Health Vampire
Buy from Sumner for 1000 gold
You gain health when you hurt an enemy, very useful!
Speed
Cannot Buy
This item will make you be able to run and shoot faster for a short while.
Rapid Fire
Buy from Sumner for 450 gold
This item will let you shoot much quick (this item combined with a 3 or 5 way
shot with a Amulet activated will be DEADLY against gargoyles and bosses!)
Super Shot
Buy from Sumner for 400 gold
This item is the best in the game by far. One shot will take ANYTHING out in
its path, and while your firing, you cannot be hurt! Very good against
gargoyles and bosses!
Reflective Shot
Cannot Buy
Fire a shot with this item active, and it will bounce off walls and hit
enemies.
Reflective Armor
Buy from Sumner for 400 gold
Very useful against Archers, Bombers, and Gargoyles ball attack, as any
projectile shot fired at you will be reflected back at them.
-If I have missed any, be sure to tell me!
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 11. Food (Your Health) |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Your maximum health will start at 500 when you are at level 1, and will gain
100 points for every level you gain. A level two character for example would
have 600 max health. If a player is at maximum health, they will not be able
to pick up food. The only way a player is able to go over their health
limit is if they gain it from Death using the Anti Death Halo.
Whenever an enemy hits you, it will subtract some of your health. When your
health meter is low, you will get a message from Sumner saying its very low
and to get some food fast! If your health meter reaches 0, you will die and
restart from your LAST SAVE POINT (see why I say to save very often!).
There is food all over the land which will let you regain health. Here is what
each food item will replenish:
Cherry = 10 health
Apple = 25 health
Banana = 50 health
Pineapple = 75 health
Watermelon = 75 health
Drumstick = 100 health
Steak = 125 health
Ribs = 150 health
Ham = 200 health
Meal = 500 health
Bad Apple = -50 health
Bad Meat = -100 health
The bad apple and meat will take health away from you because they are spoiled.
These are green food items with bones through them (like the skull and
crossbones symbol). Some characters can use their magic ability at later
levels to unspoil these food items. Food can be found in the level itself just
lying around, or in barrels, and the meal and hams and drumsticks are mostly
found in treasure chests.
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 12. Other Items |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
These are the other types of items in the game that are collectables. They
must be collected to progress through your quest.
|===========================|
|A) Crystals |
|===========================|
The crystals are found in every Realm except the Dream Realm and on. You must
collect them to unlock the different Realms. Here's a list of what Crystals
open what and how many you need.
Orange: Needed 15, Opens Forsaken Province (Realm 1)
Red: Needed 100, Opens Mountain Realm (Realm 2)
Purple: Needed 125, Opens Castle Realm (Realm 3)
Blue: Needed 150, Opens the Sky Realm (Realm 4)
Green: Needed 175, Opens the Forest Realm (Realm 5)
Yellow: Needed 200, Opens the Desert Realm (Realm 6)
White: Needed 225, Opens the Ice Realm (Real 7)
Black: Needed 250, Opens the Dream Realm (Realm 8)
The Realm before the next Realm will have the most crystals needed for the
next Realm. For example, in the Forsaken Province, most crystals are Red as
you need them for the next Realm (although there are the odd other crystals
in this Realm to).
|===========================|
|B) Coins |
|===========================|
These are only found in the secret levels. There are secret Trap Doors in each
of the Realms (and the Battle Ground area). In these areas, you must collect
different colour coins in a small level in a certain amount of time to unlock
a secret character. Some of these levels are very hard (espically the one where
you have to beat to unlock Sumner!). It depends on how many players you are
playing with to how many coins you are going to collect:
1 Player will need to get 25 coins
2 Players will need to get 50 coins
3 Players will need to get 75 coins
4 Players will need to get 100 coins
If you are able to collect all the coins in the level by the time allotted,
you will unlock the secret character. If you don't, you will lose the coins
and have to try again.
*Its good to play these levels with just one player, its very difficult if you
are playing with 4 players.*
|===========================|
|C) Golden Icons |
|===========================|
In the first three wings of the tower, you will have to collect these Golden
Icons to open up different wings of Sumners Tower. To get these items, you will
have to defeat a Gargoyle, or find them hiddin in a level (behind a secret wall
or activated by a switch for example). Here is what each does:
-Golden Fangs: Needed 12, Opens the West Wing, Found in Realms 1,2
-Golden Feathers: Needed 20, Opens the East Wing, Found in Realms 3,4,5
-Golden Claws: Needed 28, Opens the Battle Grounds, Found in Realms 6,7,8
There are three different types of Gargoyles, this is what they drop:
-Snake headed gargoyle (Realms 1,2) Golden Fangs
-Eagle headed gargoyle (Realms 3,4,5) Golden Feathers
-Lion headed gargoyle (Realms 6,7,8) Golden Claws
|===========================|
|D) Runestones |
|===========================|
Runestones are a must to find! They will open up the area to the Underworld
level. There are a total of 12 in the first eight Realms, the one in the
last level of the game for a grand total of 13. They are found in secret
walls and after a series of switches have been hit. This chart shows how
many are in each Realm:
Forsaken Province: 2 Runestones
Mountain Realm: 1 Runestone
Castle Keep: 1 Runestone
Sky Realm: 2 Runestones
Forest Realm: 1 Runestone
Desert Realm: 1 Runestone
Ice Realm: 2 Runestones
Dream Realm: 2 Runestones
Battlefield Realm: 1 Runestone
|===========================|
|E) Shards |
|===========================|
Each boss carries a Shard, which you must get to complete the Entrance to the
Desecrated Temple. There are a total of 8 Shards, one for each boss.
|===========================|
|F) Legendary Items |
|===========================|
There is one Legendary Item in each Realm (including the Desecrated Temple, but
not the Battlefield Realm or the Underworld). Now you don't HAVE to get these,
but they will make boss battles MUCH easier, as they will do anything from
take away their health to lower their accruacy and speed. I highly suggest
that you get all of them (espcially for the later bosses!) This list will
say where you find them, and who they are used against.
Book of Protection (Good Book)
Fount in the Sky Realm
Use on the Litch (Boss of Forsaken Province, Realm 1)
Ice Axe
Found in the Castle Realm
Use on the Dragon (Boss of Mountain Realm, Realm 2)
Scimitar of Decapitation
Found in the Forest Realm
Use on the Chimera (Boss of the Castle Realm, Realm 3)
Javelin of Blinding
Found in the Mountain Realm
Use on the Plague Fiend (Boss of the Sky Realm, Realm 4)
Toxic Bellows
Found in the Desert Realm
Use on the Spider Queen (Boss of the Forest Realm, Realm 5)
Lamp of Dark Obstruction
Found in the Ice Realm
Use on the Genie (Boss of the Desert Realm, Realm 6)
Parchment of Fire
Found in the Forsaken Province Realm
Use on the Yeti (Boss of the Ice Realm, Realm 7)
Lantern of Revelation
Found in the Dream Realm
Use on the Shadow Wraith (Boss of the Dream Realm, Realm 8)
Soul Savior
Found in the Desecrated Temple
Use on Skorn, the First Fight (Boss of the Desecrated Temple)
You do not get any Legendary Items to help you out against Scorne in the
second fight in the Underworld, or against Garm as the final battle.
|===========================|
|G) Treasure |
|===========================|
Everyone likes gold. This stuff is spread throught the whole game, and you will
find it just lying on the ground, in barrels, in secret walls, and Treasure
Chests. Here is what each piece of treasure is worth:
Coin (Bronze) = 500 gold
Coin (Silver) = 1000 gold
Coin (Gold) = 5000 gold
Junk = 10 gold
Silver (on ground) = 100 gold
Gold (on ground) = 150 gold
Silver (Chest) = 200 gold
Gold (Chest) = 250 gold
Rupees (Chest) = 300 gold
Gold (Barrel) = 500 gold
You will use gold to buy health or attributs and extra items from Sumner in
his shop. You are only able to find the coins after you beat bosses.
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 13. Sumner's Shop |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Sumner's Shop is pretty useful. Here, you are able to buy pretty much every
item you have found so far in the level. You are also able to buy an extra
10 points in each attribute (speed, magic, armor, and strength) for 1000
gold. This is very useful for the rich players who are going for perfect
attributs (which are 999) to make your character... well pretty much perfect.
|===========================|
|A) Gold=Money |
|===========================|
You will find lots of gold lying around and in chests in the game. You will
use all of that gold here, in Sumners shop. Each item costs a certain amount
of gold (disscussed in the item section above).
|===========================|
|B) Sumner's Hints |
|===========================|
When you walk up to Sumner in the middle of the tower, a menu will come up.
Here, he will tell you about locations of Runestones, about the different
Legendary Items, about the different Bosses, and you can shop here. This is
just like the normal game menu, although here you have a few more options
related to Sumner himself. Some of these hints can be very helpful, when you
play the game for the first time, you should read some of his helpful hints
(which I have written near the top of this FAQ).
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 14. Things to Watchout For |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Here is a brief helpful list of things to watchout for before you prepare for
your epic journey:
- Pay attention to the scrolls. They give you valuable information.
- Use the powerful Combo Attacks to take on the tougher enemies.
- Use keys to open doors and chests, use them sparingly.
- Try to destroy the enemy Archers and Bomb Throwers first.
- Avoid dangerous objects such as flame geysers and floor spikes.
- Only Magic, the Anti-Death Halo or shooting 100 times can defeat Death.
- When entering a leel that holds a legend item, a brif movie will reveal clues
to its locations!
- Remember to save your game and character data often!
- Find the Legendary Weapons to defeat the world bosses easier.
- Look around for hidden items behind walls and rocks!
- DON'T SHOOT POTIONS!
- If a wall or rock flashes when you shoot it, keep shooting it!
- A player that learns how to block will live much longer!
-From Game Manual, but very useful Hints and Tips!
*There's probably a lot of spelling errors. I tried my best to type as clean
as I could :), but I havn't spell checked it really. I'll get around to it
some day.*
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 15. The Worlds (Walkthrough) |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Well here is the walkthrough for the huge game of GDL. I have divided the
walkthrough into different sections, each representing a different area in
Sumner's tower. So, for example the Upper Tower contains the first two realms,
the Forsaken Province and Fire Mountain.
Now at the bottom of the screen you will see a HUD display. This thing will
show you your name, what colour your character is, your gold, and your health.
It also shows your current level. The meter at the top is your turbo meter.
When it starts to flash pink, your turbo meter will be fully charged and you
have to press both the A and B Buttons at the same time to send out your most
powerful attack that goes through all the enemies in its path. When the meter
is half full press A and B for a less powerful turbo attack.
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 16. Upper Tower Wing |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
This is the first wing open to you when you first start off the game. All the
other areas in the tower are closed off. This wing contains only two Realms,
the two easiest ones, which are the Forsaken Province and the Fire Mountain
Realms. This Upper Tower also is part of the central tower, which hauses the
portals to the Desecrated Temple and the Underworld. It is also where you
access the West, East, and Lower Tower Wings. Sumner is in the middle of the
central tower. The first two Realms are at the top of the screen, so walk past
Sumner and the Realms are to the right and left of the portal to the Desecrated
Temple.
When you first start the new adventure you will get this message:
"Welcome, mighty heroes! The evil mage Garm has broken into my Tower and used
the Runestones to summon the demon Skorne. Skorne broke free from Garm's
contol and destroyed him. Skorne has unleashed his minions upon the land and
scattered the Runestones across the Eight Realms. Now he has sealed himself in
the Desecrated Temple. The entrance is protected by either magical Shards.
Each is in the possession of one of Skorne's mighty Guardians. You must travel
to each of the Eight Realms, fight your way through Skorne's minions and defeat
his Guardians. Only after obtaining all either shards can you enter the
Desecrated Temple and banish Skorne to the Underworld. Skorne has sealed the
entrance to each Realm with a magical shield. Throughout the land you will find
Crystals which will enable you to remove these shields. I have smmoned to my
tower enough Crystals to unlock one of the Eight Realms, the Forsaken
Province. Go now, the fate of the Realms is in your hands!"
From here the game will start. Prepare for a huge adventure!
|-------------------------------|
|===============================|
| 17. Forsaken Province |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Enemies Difficulty:1/5
Level Difficulty:1/5
Boss Difficulty:2/5
Overall Realm Difficulty: 1/5
Crystals needed to enter Realm: 15 Orange Crystals
This is the first Realm you will face. The levels in this Realms are HUGE, but
the are quite easy. The enemies arn't very difficult, and they don't spawn
very quickly.
Now firstly, your going to need to unlock this Realm. When you start the
adventure, and after you read Sumner's Note, he will summon 15 Orange Crystals
into his Tower. Go around and collect the Crystals (to the left of you when
you start). Don't forget about the Crystal directly in front of you!
Once you get all the 15 Crystals, you will get a message saying
"Congratulations! You now have enough Crystals to enter the Forsaken Province."
From here, go to Sumner if you want to hear any hints about things in the game.
If your ready to continue onto the first Realm, walk over to the greenish
looking Realm. There is a little 15 on it. Step on the square that says 15 and
the magical shield will dispatch, letting you enter the first Realm, the
Forsaken Province! When you enter this lobby area, step on the portal that
has the swirling purple in the middle. The others are inactive. You can tell
because they do not have the swirling purple thing in the middle. Whenever
you beat a level, the next level will actovate.
|===========================|
|A) Poison Fields |
|===========================|
Enemy Difficulty: 1/5
Enemy Levels: Ankle Biters and Grunts
Level Size: 3/5
Level Difficulty: 1/5
Special Item: Runestone #1.
This is the first level in GDL. It is very easy, but it is quite a large level.
Each new point is told by a "-", and each point is usualy for a new area.
-When you first start off, there is a generator right in front of you. Destroy
it and that will stop the enemies. Behind you is a key and two barrels.
-Go up the ramp with the Crystals and you will imerge into a maze like place.
Here, just go around and destroy enemies and open the first chest, it contains
a Potion. There are three more barrels, with a Potion in one. Destroy the green
barrel and then go next to the windmill and collect the yello potion. The barrel
contains a fruit, but watch out the windmill will hurt you (the blades).
-Next area also a little mazy. There is a key ring in a barrel here, as well as
a chest with a Turbo in it. Destroy the secret wall with the chest behind it.
Also, hit the hay stack for some crystals, its a secret wall to. Chest has magic.
-All players must step on the mutlicoloured switch for it to activate.
-Chest up here, and when you go down watch out for the General (you can hear
the footsteps) Kill him from ontop. You will see a barrel, open to find an
apple. Next to the barrel is a hut like thing. Shoot open the door to find your
first Runestone!
-Beside the watermill is a key (in barrel). Go up the stone house, and watch
for the floortrap and Bomber. There's a chest here. Hit the switch to activate
the little elevator.
-Shoot the gate behind the elevator (on the ground floor)for Levetation and
crystal. Kill the ancle biters (the worms), and shoot the haystack (near the
fire pit) for more keys. There is a chest near the haystack with a Phoenix
Familiar in it.
-Now go the route to your right. There is another haystack here to shoot for
a blue and purple crystal. Go to your left for some apples if you need them,
otherwise go to your right to continue on.
-Barrel next to purple crystal has some keys. At the bridge, watch out for the
Archers. The barrel has a pineapple in it. About half way up the bridge, shoot
the rail to your right (in the middle of bridge) and step up to it. A platform
with an apple will raise from the stream.tep on it and collect the crystals.
Step on the green switch at the bottom and waite a while, as a Super Shot
will rise from the water. The other side of the bridge contains a chest with
a potion in it.
-Continue down the path, and you'll see a barrel outside the path. Shoot the
wall here for a little item cache with some gold. Now take the route heading to
the left.
-Destroy the red barrels from a distance, and be careful of the Archers at the
next bend.
-This area has a little puzzle. Step on the sun clock in the middle of the area.
You will see it move. Now go down to the stream (to your left of the sunclock).
Step on the wooden bridge for a chest to rise with gold in it. Collect the gold
and the thing with the sunclock will rise up, revealing a Golden Icon! Now go
up the bridge with the trap at its base.
-Up here are some apples with breakable boxes (you can tell because of the
cracks in the box). Watch for the suicide bomber. The chest contains extra
speed. Continue on, and shoot the two boxes by the switch for a banana. Hit the
switch to move a platform over to you.
-Go down the bridge and you will see another windmill. Continue on past there.
Shoot the red barrel to kill some enemies. Get the keys and go up the route
with the apples.
-Keep going alone that path and watch for the Archer.
-In the next big area is a ham worth a lot of health. Kill all the enemies in
this area then get the ham. The chest is a trap, don't open it for it has a
bomb in it (the barrel has an apple). Open the gate with the elevator with the
colourful switch. Ride it up to the next area.
-This next area has two switches, one right to your right when you enter (which
lowers a bridge. The other is near the key (past the wooden carrier thing).
The chest here contains a bomb, so go in that little area from near the switch
(behind the tree, its hard to see the other entrance), to get the barrel. Then
open the gate (next to the barrel with the scrole, near the second switch) to
continue on.
-This path contains crystals and a turbo in a barrel. There is a general on the
bridge that you lowered. Fire a turbo at him, then use your turbo item to
quickly fill your turbo meter again. Then fire another full turbo at him and
shoot him a couple of times to finish him off. The two FULL turbos should kill
him. Continue on past the bridge.
-The next big area is the last area in this level, but a hard one. You'll see
the exit portal on the left side of this area, but don't exit yet!. Get the
blue potion from the middle of the area, and you'll see death on the platform.
Go up he platform and use the potion next to him (be careful though, if you get
to close he'll unfreeze). The potion blast will kill him in one hit. Hit
the switch up here with the purple crystal on it to open the final gate to the
end portal. (Watch out, if you hit the switch and havn't killed Death yet, he
will unfreeze). Continue up the little route and step on the exit portal
to exit the level!
*If you exit the level and hear a laughing sort of sound, that means that you
missed the Runestone! You should go back and get it (by playing the level
again).
*If you do get the Runestone and when you re-enter Sumner's Tower, he will
show up above you and say "Congratulations! You have found a Runestone" and he
will take it from you and place it in a circle in his tower.
*You will also notice that the next portal is now active since you beat the
first level, go thought it to get to the next level*.

|B) Haunted Town |
|===========================|
Enemy Difficulty: 1/5
Enemy Levels: Ankle Biters and Grunts
Level Size: 3/5
Level Difficulty: 1/5
Special Item: Treasure Door
This level is like the Poison Fields, yet it is situated in a town being, well
pretty much destroyed. Easy enemies, but a big level.
-As soon as you start enemies will be by you, so be ready for that. Barrel near
Archer (beind from where you start) has some keys. Open the gate to the bridge.
-This next area contains a general. Kill him from the bridge, then hit the red
barrel to kill enemies easily.
-Go through the little house to the next area. Go to your left and down to find
a switch. It will open a little area in the house u just walked through. Down
there is a banana and a wall switch that brings down another barrel. That
barrel contains a full meat. Shoot the two red barrels and hit the gate to
open it. The barrel between the red barrels contains speed. Shoot another
gate (near the barrels) to continue on.
-Theres a chest here by the burning crates that has gold. You'll see a phoenix
here. Near there is a little off route with some apples and a barrel with a
potion. Before going through the key gate, to the right of that are two barrels
one has a pineapple. (At the botom of this little area are some keys). Use a
key on the gate.
-Archer in here, shot the stables open to get the crystals in them. The wall
and the end (just after the ramp up, don't go up though)that looks like a door
is a secret wall. Shoot it to find a switch and chest with gold. (Its near the
blue crystal to the left of you). Now go up the ramp.
-Up here is another switch. Hit it to drop the path to coninue on. The chest at
the end of the next room has a banana in it.
-The next place looks like to be a library. Theres a barrel behind the desk
-This next area is big. As soon as you step into it, go to your right. The
chest has gold in it, and open the gate to find an apple. Next you'll fine two
barrels (if you hit the switch a while ago) that dropped them. They contain
keys and the awesome Thunder Hammer. Continue past the fire barrels. The chest
against the next house has a bomb in it. When the music changes (sounds like
bar music from an old western movie) go into the bar.
-Go past the piano and go up the ramp to the upper level. Across the small
wooden bridge you'll see a target switch. Fire a shot at it. Backtrack down the
ramp behind the counter to find another golden icon! After, go along the small
wooden bridge.
-This area has a chest with levetation. At the end of the room are two barrels
with Turbo and a key ring. Next, open they key door.
-Go to your left to get two purple crystals, then go to your right. As soon as
you get to the ramp down, fire a shot down the ramp to kill the suicide bomber
there (hes hard to see and will surprise you). Here you will see a crane like
thing with two switches, a button switch and a lever switch. Hit the button
switch (to the left of the crane) FIRST! Then hit the lever switch. This will
let you continue your path on. *Notice how the first switch is now covered up,
last time was your only change to hit it*. Then go down the elevator with the
blue potion on it.
-This is another big area. The chest has a potion in it. Go to your left first
(upon coming down the elevator). *Stay off the railway tracks!* Near the big
pile of burning boxes is a wall switch (theres a box next to it with a banana
in it). Hit the switch to uncover the chest you brought down from the crane
switch. Go back up there to get it if you want, it contains Growth. Go across
the tracks to the other side of the area. The box here contains fire breath and
the other has a key. Go down from that platform and go behind it. There are
some keys here. Now go to where the green barrel is. Theres food in the one
next to it. Cross the tracks to get the purple crystal and keyring in barrel.
Keep going around perimiter of room to find two more barrels with apples.
Dont go down the next path yet. Go to the centre of this room to find a neuce
platform (this is to the right of the elevator you came in here on). Kill death
then go up the neuce platform and hit the switch. You'll see the switch with the
green crystal go down, now go and hit that switch. This will let a platform with
gold raise up on the neuse platform. Now continue down the other path to the far
right of where you came in on.
-Theres a Golem here. Theres a chest near this route which contains the stop
time item. Get it but don't use it here. The golem will drop meat. You are now
in a cemetary place. The chest has a pineapple.
-Enter the church. Theres a breakable wall near the exit (the wall on your left)
that has a switch and chest with jewels and blue crstal. Exit the church.
-Here is the hardest part yet in the game. Theres a gargoyle here, the hardest
enemy in the normal levels. Remember the stop time item you go? Approach the
Gargoyle to wake him up, then activate the stop time. Use melee attacks to
kill him (he won't be able to move in stop time). If you don't kill him before
it ends, just step back and keep shooting (don't stay near him!). If you
still have the Super Shot from the first level, you can use that to. Beat the
Gargoyle to get a golden item! (All gargoyles will spoil golden items). Continue
on.
-Barrel here has spoiled fruit and destroy the red barrel. Go to the end of
this area to find the level exit, but DON'T LEAVE! The barrel near here has
a full rack of ribs in it. Go up the bell tower. The chest has potion in it.
Go up to the bell, and you'll find a trap door on the floor. Step on it to
enter a special little level where you can unlock a character!
TRAP DOOR LEVEL ONE: Now if you are playing solo, you will only have to get
25 coins, but if you play with 2 players its 50 coins, 3 players 75 coins, and
four players 100 coins. This level is easy. Go the right path first and
get all the coins and circle around. Its hard to not beat this level. If you
have a slow character, use the Speed item you got earlier near the beginning of
the level.
-After you do this secret level, go down the tower and exit the area.
*Its a good idea to save after every level, as this game is known to freeze.
You don't want to go through 4 of these huge levels and have the game freeze
up on you, losing all of your data do you :)?
*Back in the tower the next portal will activate, so enter it.*
|===========================|
|C) Haunted Cemetary |
|===========================|
Enemy Difficulty: 1/5
Enemy Levels: Ankle Biters and Grunts
Level Size: 4/5
Level Difficulty: 1/5
Special Item: Legendary Item (Parchment of Fire).
*At the start of this level you will see a short cinema scene. Any level that
starts with one of these short cinema scenes means that there is a Legendary
Item in this current level, used against a Boss later.*
This level is huge. It also contains your first Legendary Item, and getting it
is quite easy to, just a short switch puzzle to get it.
-From where you start, there are two barrels with an apple and scrole. Chest
contains reflective armor. Approach the gate for it to open automatically.
-This is a long bridge. Watc out for the Archers and Suicide Bomber.
-Next area just has a barrel with a keyring. Theres also a switch on the wall
next to the open gate.
-This is also a big area. Start with the Perimiter of the room, go around and
hit switches and kill enemies. From the right of where you entered is a switch
that will open the gate to let you continue on. Now walk into the centre of
the area. Destroy the green barrel, and there is a chest that the switch (from
the previous area, on the wall next to the open gate) will have brought up from
the grave. It has a pineapple. From here, go right to hit another ground switch.
This brings up a grave right in front of you with a potion on it. Behind is
a crate with a key and some gold to your left. Now go all the way to your left,
and you'll see another open grave with crystals. To the left of the grave is a
tree stump. Hit it with a few shots to destroy it, revealing a ground switch.
Hit it to raise the grave and get the crystals. From the area with the potion
you raised a little while ago is a tree stump that can also be hit down for a
purple crystal. Now, continue onto the next area (opened from the switch on the
bottom right of this level).
-Here is another bridge with Archer and Suicide Bomber. Watch out for the two
Bombers who are at the end of the bridge.
-This next area has another Gargoyle. Take him out, but watch out for other
enemies to! Use any of the remaining stopped time to hurt him, then use the
hammer you go in the other level (this will kill the other enemies to), if hes
still alive after those two things, just finish him off with your own normal
attacks. Remember to get his golden item! Now go to the right. Destroy a tree
stump to get a switch that raises a chest on a grave across the area. Go to the
little hut at the far right of this level and break down the door. In here is
a wall switch that raises a potion from a grave, and some gold. Outside this
is a green barrel and a normal barrel with a meat (good for if you lost health
during the Gargoyle battle). The chest contains growth, and get the risen
potion (there is a purple crystal bhind the tree here). Now go to the far left
of this level and hit the wall switch. There's a wall switch here, hit it and
go back to the previous area and get the collectables it brings up.
The two doors here contain: on the right: key ring, on the left: x ray glasses.
- Next area has a general kill him. Now to your left are three barrels but
don't hit any yet. Get the wall switch though. Now, go to your far right.
-This little area is great. From entering, go to your left and hit the wall
(just below the with the wall switch. Now, go hit that wall switch. It will
raise the platform to your left. Hit the switch, and the Box will contain
another Thunder Hammer. Go to your right, and you'll see a gap in the above
level (with the lamp up to it) Hit the stone wall there, then the wooden wall
behind that. Theres a switch here (only if you hit the switch to your left).
Hit it to go behind the area. Hit the other wall switch down here to raise the
beidge. Cross it, and you'll an old tree. Hit the ground around the tree and
you'll find a hidden potion (its the thunder hammer if you didin't get the
hammer up on the other ledge. Now continue back, and go through to the next
area. Remember, don't get those barrels...
*By the way, the switch to open that door to the next area is near the switch
that brought up the platform with the Thunder Hammer, its behind a fake wall
right next to that switch.
-Two doors here, right and left. Left won't open yet, and right you DON'T
want to go into yet. Continue down the path and hit the switch to your left,
then backtrack to the left door you couldn't open. There's an anti death halo
there, my favourite item. Activate that item, and then open the door to the
right. Theres a black death in there, and with you're anti death halo item up,
you will GAIN a level from him (or else you would lose a level if he got you).
You could of course just use a potion to kill him. Now destroy those barrels
I told you not to before. A red death will come out of one, but don't use a
magic on him. Use your halo to GAIN 100 health from him (you can go over your
health max this way). The other has a pineapple.
-Now go to the area with the firey thing with the state in the middle. Look
familiar from the cutscene don't it. Now go around to the back of the pond and
hit the ground switch. Go to the door it opens, and hit the ground switch there
(the switch with the gas mask item on it). This will stop the fire. Now go
around to where the first ground switch was, and to its left a switch with a
red crystal has come down, hit it. The statue will change more, and a switch
to your far right has now come down. You can now pick up the Parchment of Fire!
Go to your left and hit the wall switch to continue on.
-After another short bridge, you will reach the final, but huge area. This area
is somewhat a maze. Go to your left.* Be sure to get the Turbo here*. Soon you
will rach another little house like thing, break down the doorand go in for a
key ring. Behind the house are two crystals, a banana in the barrel, and a
floor switch. This will open a door to your far right. From here, continue on
a path, going to the right this time. In a clearing is a green barrel, a chest
with meat in it, and a keyring hidden in a fake stump. Continue the path
going right. When you get to a fork in the road, go right (or left it doesn't
really matter. There is a little bridge to your right here *opposite the green
barrel here). Cross it to get to a little item place. Theres a phoenix here,
and inside the gate is a chest with a bomb and apples. Back on the main route,
theres a Golem. Kill him for a speed item. Go through the last little gate
to find a hand of death. Theres a general far up this path. Near the chest with
poison food is a stump that you should cut down to reveal soem treasure at the
end of the level. Pick the box on the right, the left has a bomb. Now you
can exit the level (phew).
*If you have been collecting all of the Red Crystals you see, at the end of
this level you should have gotten as many as you need to get into the next
Realm. If not, theres still another big level to go before the next Realm.
|===========================|
|D) Haunted Mausoleum |
|===========================|
Enemy Difficulty: 2/5
Enemy Levels: Ankle Biters, Ghosts
Level Size: 4/5
Level Difficulty: 2/5
Special Item: Runestone #2.
This is a big level as well. This is the final level in the Forsaken Province,
but it is the hardest. This is because it has the level's hardest enemies.
Instead of Grunts in this level, there are Ghosts, which do more damage, spawn
faster, and are just more difficult to destroy. Now as i said before whenever
these a short cinema at the start of each level that means there's a legendary
item in it. Whenever you're entering a level with the Level 3 enemies in that
Realm, there will also be a short cinema scene showing what they look like.
-As soon as you start, theres a switch in front of you (by the big foot), press
it. The barrel to your right has a levetation. Now, the switch brought up a
platform from behind your starting position (to your left).
-This area has some ghosts. At the edge of the wall (near the green vines)shoot
the wall(opposite the lit tourch). Hit the switch there. This brings up two
platforms, one to your right with a potion, and one to your far left (near the
tourch) with 2 ghosts and a crystal. Now, go to ur starting position and go to
your right.
-Don't go over the bridge yet, keep going right to find a target switch on the
wall. Hit it, then continue on.
-This little area has a key and some crystals. Continue on the path you moved.
-The chest here has a bomb, so discard it, then open the key gate.
-Theres an apple in the barrel. To your far rigt, you should see a switch
(under a tree) and a keyring.
-Theres a general on the bridge, so watch out for him (take him out from a
distance). Go down the platforms the last switch rose for two chests. The
one to your right contains junk, the one to your left has a piece of meat.
Now go and cross the bridge the general was on.
-This next little area has a lot of enemies, so hold X and through a potion in
there if you have an extra. If your character has a high potion, this is good.
There are two red barrels, but the other barrel has keys so you should watch
out. The alcove past the tree has a key and the chest has a lightening shield.
-Go up the stairs and watch out for the Archers. Open the gate here, and theres
a key. Past the green barrel is a light amulet on the floor. Behind the pole is
a wall switch. The wall between the two pillers here is secret, so shoot it for
a blue crystal and a speed shot in the chest. The chest near the potion and
red barrel has a death, so bring up your anti death halo for extra health. Then
hit the coffen to destroy it and get the potion.
-Go along the crystal bridge. Theres a switch by the two green barrels that
will reveal a turbo. Theres a key down here to. The wall in the corner of this
room is fake. Hit it to reveal a crystal and switch. Go back and get the meat
and hit the other switch.
-Continue on and you'll fine the little platform the last switch (with the meat)
effected. Go up the little bridge and get the gold, and the wall here (next to
the treasure box with speed) up here is fake, hit the center to reveal the
second Runestone! Then continue on.
-Go around the next bend (the chest here has an apple) and get the green potion.
The barrel up here has a drumstick of meat.
-Continue down the path to find two wall switches. The one on the right brings
down a green crystal, so backtrack a little bit to find it. The other brings
down a bridge with an Archer to continue ur journey on.
-In this next area a piece of floor will fall from the middle of the floor.
Hit the wall around here and theres some fake stuff. It will reveal a wall
switch that brings down that blue crystal you just passed.
-The floor button here brings up a Treasure Chest, but its a bomb so avoid it.
-The next wall switch with the meat will let you continue your path. Go up the
stairs.
-After you go over the hands bridge, theres a path. This will go to a big room.
-Open the gate here to access the Mausoleum.
-First off there are two Archers, then break down the gate with three crystals
behind it.
-In the next area don't open the chest, it has a bomb! Break the little gate to
the right of the chest to get the items behind there (the gold and watermellon)
-The chest here has a meat.
-Be careful! Theres a Gargoyle at the far left of the next little area. Kill
him with any items you have. There's a secret wall behind the chest past the
gargoyle. The chest itself comtains a bomb. Continue on.
-Theres a wall switch here that reveals a blue crystal, also a key here to.
-Go down the path to see another wall switch. Hit it to raise the "hand"
elevator.
-Continue down the pathways killing enemies. Open the gate at the end to reach
the bottom floor. Hit the wall switch and target switches to your right.
-The wall switch lets you continue on your path. There's a general here. Theres
another wall switch to your left on this path.
-Continue on to the final area. The barrel has a full meat, and theres a wall
switch to your far left here. It brings down the exit portal. Hit the floor
switch to your right to raise a platform to the exit portal. Be sure to get
the yellow crystal here. If you hit the first target switch back there, theres
also a platform with a blue crystal and treasure box with gold here.
-Notice the scroll here saying only a fool would challenge the Litch without
the Book of Protection. Well its right. After reading the scroll, leave the
level.
*Remember if you hear a laugh when you leave, that means you forgot to get the
Second Runestone! Be sure to get it!*
*As for the Litch (boss of this Realm), do NOT go and fight him now. Yes, you
will gain levels but he will most likely beat you since your health is so low.
Come back at least after you get the Book of Protection in the fourth Realm, by
then you will have gained levels and strength as well.
*UPDATE: You should have two Runestones now!*
|===========================|
|E) Litch's Crypt |
|===========================|
Boss Difficulty: 2/5
Boss moves?: Yes
Boss create enemies?: Yes
Legendary Item for him: Book of Protection (Found in Sky Realm)
Recommend to be level: 30 at least
This is the first boss that you will face, and he is quite difficult for the
first boss in a game. There are some keys to fighting the Litch that are
useful. First of all, be sure you have the Book of Protection with you, as it
will take away some of his health and leave him disoriented. Second of all,
going to battle him now (your probably around level 10-15 now, depending if you
have replayed any level to get any Runestones you missed :P)is not very smart
as your attributs are low. Its better to come back at at least level 25-30
to fight him. It will be much easier for you (in face, I suggest you play all
the levels and get to level 70 or so before challenging any boss, this will
make them all (except a few that are always hard) quite easy as your attributes
will be a lot higher than their power). Heres some tips on fighting the Litch:
-First of all, NEVER go in close. Consider the Litch like a must bigger, and
strong General. He will walk around, and if he gets close his melee attacks
are devistating.
-Every once and a while, he will create generators that spew out worms *the
Ankle Biters in this Realm*. Destroy them as soon as possible.
-Bring in a few weapon powerups, this will really help you out as the Litch
does seem to have a high health meter.
-If you get to far away from him, he will jump to where you are and if he hits
you, that attack does good damage. Don't stay to far, but don't go to close.
Using the Robotron control here is good.
-The Legendary Item used against him (the Book of Protection, found in the
Sky Realm), will REALLY hurt him, taking off probably about half of his health,
and it will also lower his accuracy at attacks. It also slows him down, so
the Item will really help out.
-The level in which you fight him in is quite big, so use that to your
advantage.
-In the level there is already a weapon powerup, so you should collect that
and use it against him.
-Remember that magic does not hurt bosses.
-Be sure to have a Turbo powerup, it can be useful. Fire Turbo's at him every
time your Turbo meter is full (that goes with all bosses).
-Litch's Scyth, his main weapon, does have a good range but he doesn't use it
often if you use the Book on him.
-There is also a speed item in here, use it when he gets close to get away.
-When you beat him, he will release four bronze coins and one silver, giving
you 3000 gold. You will probably have to use some of it on food, but use the
rest on attributs or items for the next bosses.
Once you defeat him, save your game. When you return in Sumner's Tower, like
the Runestones a short cinima will show the Shard you just got being put back
onto the window near Sumner's stand.

| 18. Mountain Kingdom |
|===============================|
|-------------------------------|
Enemies Difficulty:1-2/5
Level Difficulty:1-2/5
Boss Difficulty:1/5
Overall Realm Difficulty: 2/5
Crystals needed to enter Realm: 100 Red Crystals
The Mountain Kingdom (also known as the Fire Realm) is from the previous
Gauntlet Game, Gauntlet Legends from the Nintendo 64. The levels here arn't
nearly as big as the levels in the Forsaken Province, but the enemies are
a bit harder (espically the level 3 enemies). The first level is the shortest
and easiest level in the game.
To access this Realm, you're going to have to have gotten 100 Red Crystals from
the Forsaken Province Realm (but this is so easy, you should have gotten 100
by the time you go to the Cemetary level). Once you have done that, exit the
Forsaken Province Lobby and go to the right side of the tower. You will see a
firey looking lobby with a 100 block on it. Step on it to lower the magic gate.
The first portal in every Realm is always active, so you don't have to beat all
of the previous levels or boss in the previous Realm to access the next Realm.
All you need is enough crystals.
|===========================|
|A) Valley of Fire |
|===========================|
Enemy Difficulty: 1/5
Enemy Levels: Ankle Biters and Grunts
Level Size: 1/5
Level Difficulty: 1/5
Special Item: Runestone #3.
This level is extreamly short and easy. Its the easieset and shortest level in
the game. You will have very little trouble here.
-You start at the very base of the Fire Mountain. The barrels behind you
contain speed. Go left from your starting possision to find an Archer and
a treasure box with a magic in it. Now don't go up the stairs with the apple,
go across the bridge to your right of the starting point.
-The next area has a potion, pineapple and crystal. Go up the stairs here and
shoot at the grey cliff wall on the little plateau (near the apple). Hit the
wall switch here and get the meat if you need it. Go back down the stairs and
get the Runestone that just rose up from the water!
-Collect the crystals from the first stairway and continue going up.
-The treasure chest on the next plateau contains some silver.
-Get the Thunder Hammer up here, and go up to the next plateau. Theres a
Gargoyle here, so use the Hammer on him and then any other item. Then
continue on up the stairs. Next to the gargoyle is a chest with an apple and
a Archer.
-The next plateau has a treasure box of gold. Keep going up them
