Gauntlet (NES)/World 2

The dark reaches of this Forest world are unknown to mortals. Rumors and fables abound. Most of what is known comes from the tales told of the ancient time when chaos rules. The clue is in a treasure chest.

Level 20
The chest in the bottom left corner contains Death.

Level 21


The bottom left corner exit leads to room 23. The top right leads to room 22.

Level 22
Note the extra attack potion upgrade in the southeast. The box in the top left corner contains poison; save your key.

Level 25
The bottom exit leads to room 27. The top exit leads to room 26, the Clue Room.

Level 26
This is a Clue Room. The locked chest holds the clue. Hold right when using the teleporter to exit to room 27.

Level 30
Both upper exists skip room 31 to lead to room 32. The lower left exit leads to room 31; the lower right exit skips rooms 31 through 33 to lead to room 34.

Level 37
Destroy the walls a single shot at a time to avoid accidentally destroying the extra speed potion upgrade, the most important upgrade of all. By the end of this level, you should have all five upgrades (levels 12, 15, 16, 22, and 37). It's best to play 1 player at least up to this point so you don't compete for the extra upgrade potions.

Level 39


There is a speed upgrade in this room as well as in room 37.
