Gauntlet (NES)/World 1

Your journey begins in the Castle World. Since it exists on the edge of the Veil, other mortals have ventured into the Castle. Many explorers have risked life and limb to bring back what little we know about the Castle.

Suggested path for World 1: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-19

Level 1
In the upper right hand corner (by all the ghosts) their is a secret exit to Level 5. Shoot the walls to find it.

Level 5
Lots of gold in the upper left hand room. If you have an extra key you should use it here. Just to the right of the treasure room is a secret exit to Level 9. You have to shoot a wall to find it, but it's there.



Level 7
The treasure chest contains temporary invisibility. Don't waste your key.



Level 9
The first locked room contains food and reflective shots. The second locked room holds a Death, a potion, and a key.



Level 10
There is a false wall to the left of the first door so don't bother using a key. Also don't hit any of the magic tiles near the bottom of the room, they don't open up the way to the potion. Use the lone magic tile on the right side of the map instead.



Level 11
The treasure chest contains reflective shots. In the area with the 3 magic tiles, hit the upper left one to open the way to Level 12.



Level 12
This level has a ton of stuff. 5 potions, food, lots of gold, and an extra armor potion. The locked chest contains a magic tile which makes some walls in the center of the map disappear. Shoot the lone wall in the center to reveal another magic tile. Step on that to get rid of some more walls. Shoot the new wall, standing all by its lonesome self, to exit.



Level 14
Hit all the magic tiles to get a key and to openthe way to both exits. The one to the left goes to Level 15. The one to the right goes to Level 17.



Level 15
Hit all the magic tiles to open the way to Level 16. The exit in the upper left is to Level 18. The treasure chest contains a stupid treasure so don't waste your key.



Level 16
There are four treasure chests, but you only need 2 keys. Once you've hit the magic switch in either 1 or 3 go to the food room. Between the two plates of food is a fake wall. Shoot it to reveal another magic tile. Step on it to open the way to the exit and the clue.

There are four treasure chests:
 * The top-left chest contains a magic tile which open the bottom wall of the food area.
 * The top-right chest contains a poison potion.
 * The bottom-left chest contains a magic tile which opens the top wall of the food area.
 * The bottom-right chest contains an extra magic potion!

Level 17
Both exits go to Leevel 18. The treasure on the bottom portion of the map contains food while the treasure on the top contains 1 treasure chest...



Level 18
This is a level from the arcade original. Only one secret here: in the upper right portion of the room shoot a wall to reveal 10 super shots. It's along the very outer edge of the wall and has 3(?) other blocks touching it.
