Dark Realm Mini-Game FAQ v2.1

Get ready for 20 levels of demon mayhem. The Dark Realm is a brutal place 
for beginners, so it's recommended that all of your weapons are fully 
enhanced and you're packing at least 3-5 Medicines before you go in. Also 
save your game before you enter, as it may take you a few tries to get 
through. A killer item, the Bishamon Ocarina, awaits you on the final 
level. It is well worth your effort. There are also a bunch of items 
along the way, including a Medicine, three Herbs, a Soul Absorber, a 
Talisman and three chunks of Fluorite. If you're trying to collect all of 
the Fluorite, you'll have to pass through here.

| Level 1                                                                | 
| Soldier Demons                                                         |
| Hack and slash, hack and slash. No real strategy is needed,            |
| as these are the lowest of the low, Soldier Demons.                    |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 2                                                                |
| Three-Eyes                                                             |
| You should be used to their attack patterns and speed by now.          |
| This should be another simple level for you. No magic needed.          |
|                                                                        |

|                                                                        |
| Level 3                                                                |
| Soldier Demons                                                         |
| Long-Arm Demons                                                        |
| Quickly take out the Soldier Demons before they can annoy you.         |
| You should be able to take out the Long-Arm Demons without             |
| using any magic.                                                       |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 4                                                                |
| Long-Arm Demons                                                        |
| Again, these guys aren't a big deal. Slash 'em up and block            |
| when you need to. No magic needed.                                     |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 5                                                                |
| Long-Arm Demons                                                        |
| Three-Eyes                                                             |
| This can be an annoying bunch. Throw a wind magic spell in             |
| the midst of the action to clear out a few demons, and then            |
| beat on the rest with your sword.                                      |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 6                                                                |
| Bazuus                                                                 |
| Please, you've got to be kidding me. These guys are a push             |
| over. Just watch out for when they spin as they appear and             |
| you'll be fine.                                                        |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 7                                                                |
| Sharks                                                                 |
| Restrain yourself from using a sword thrust when they're               |
| on the ground. If you stop to kill one, the others will hit            |
| you from behind. Just keep a steady flow of sword sweeps               |
| going and you'll be fine.                                              |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 8                                                                |
| Bazuus                                                                 |
| Gyaran                                                                 |
| This is another simple level if you equip the Holy Armor.              |
| The Gyaran won't bug you so you just have to take out the              |
| Bazuus. Once they're all gone, go around and pick on the               |
| Gyaran.                                                                |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 9                                                                |
| Barabazuus                                                             |
| Bazuus                                                                 |
| Experienced fighters shouldn't need to use up any magic                |
| here, but a novice can get their head handed to them                   |
| mighty quickly by the Barabazuus. You have to be ready                 |
| to move when you see them attacking, and get at the                    |
| Bazuus as soon as they form.                                           |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 10                                                               |
| Oowasshas                                                              |
| Gyaran                                                                 |
| Here's where you should be using magic, but not before                 |
| you equip the Holy Armor again. This will let you ignore               |
| the Gyaran and focus on kicking the crap out of the                    |
| Oowasshas. Don't even give them a chance to attack. Hit                |
| them early and keep it up.                                             |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 11                                                               |
| Reynaldos                                                              |
| This is another enemy you should be used to dealing with               |
| in bunches. When you see one planting his arm in the                   |
| ground, be ready to move. If he grabs you he'll do damage              |
| and open you up to an attack from another Reynaldo. Again,             |
| experienced battlers won't need magic, but a novice may.               |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 12                                                               |
| Reynaldos                                                              |
| Gyaran                                                                 |
| This will be the same as the previous level if you equip               |
| the Holy Armor.                                                        |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 13                                                               |
| Reynaldos                                                              |
| Sharks                                                                 |
| Whatever you do, don't get caught by the Reynaldos. Also,              |
| don't use the sword plunge on anyone. Wind attacks work                |
| great, as do fire attacks, as they can both do damage to               |
| multiple enemies.                                                      |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 14                                                               |
| Volchiman                                                              |
| A thunder attack is the best way to take these guys out.               |
| It's quick and simple, and once the attack starts, it                  |
| won't miss and they can't disappear. Just target them                  |
| and beat the hell out of 'em.                                          |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 15                                                               |
| Reynaldos                                                              |
| Volchiman                                                              |
| Thunder spells can take out the Volchiman, but it'll                   |
| leave you open to the Reynaldos. Using Wind Orbs on the                |
| Reynaldos forces you to take your eye off of the                       |
| Volchiman. Get out your Fire Orb and use a spell when                  |
| you get a few demons close together. Start swinging                    |
| your sword the rest of the time. And keep a close eye                  |
| on your health. You're very close to the end, so using                 |
| a Medicine isn't a bad thing.                                          |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |
| Level 16                                                               |
| Dark Spiders                                                           |
| These guys can be frustrating, as they dodge most of                   |
| your attacks and jump over you from one side to the                    |
| other. The best strategy is to use a wind attack when                  |
| there are a bunch of them swarming you and a thunder                   |
| attack when you've just got a few of them left.                        |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|                                                                        |

| Get your Fire Orb equipped and start slashin'. Its                     |
| wide attack range will allow you to hit several demons                 |
| at the same time. You shouldn't have to use any magic,                 |
| but you may need a Medicine. That's okay, though, as                   |
| it'll be better to have magic on the last three levels                 |
| than a bunch of Medicines.                                             |
|                                                                        |

| Dark Spiders                                                           |
| Wow, this is a deadly combination. Magic use is a must                 |
| here. Wind is the best, but you may not have any left.                 |
| If not, try to hit a group with a fire or go one-on-one                |
| with the thunder 'til they're all dead.                                |
|                                                                        |

| Level 19                                                               |
| Dark Spiders                                                           |
| Dark Armor Demons                                                      |
| Back away from the Dark Armor Demons and try to take                   |
| out all of the Dark Spiders quickly. If you can, take                  |
| out the Matchlock and use a few Blast Bullets. They                    |
| should hit both Dark Armor Demons and maybe even a                     |
| Dark Spider or two. Try to conserve any magic you have                 |
| and use Medicines to get through this.                                 |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Level 20                                                               |
| Volchiman                                                              |
| Oowasshas                                                              |
| Hopefully you've saved a bit of magic. This is the                     |
| time to use it, all of it. Once you've drained                         |
| yourself, take out the Matchlock and use up your Burst                 |
| Bullets. When they're done, slash with your Fire Orb                   |
| and use Medicines when necessary. Don't forget to grab                 |
| the Bishamon Ocarina from the box before you leave,                    |
| that's what you came here for.                                         |
