Deadly Towers/The Towers

The next goal is to claim the best equipment in the game, to make progress through the rest of it much easier. This portion of the walkthrough will have you entering and exiting towers without defeating any of the bosses. You can choose to fight the bosses at any time that you wish, but beginner players will probably wish to collect the best equipment before facing the bosses to ensure safety.

Hyper Armor
The Hyper Armor is in Tower E. Starting from the holy flame walk left, and enter the third door that you encounter. Survival in the Parallel World can be difficult, especially at your current level of defense. You will be descended upon by a swarm of ghosts. These ghosts are difficult to avoid, but there are two safe places where you can stand to avoid being attacked: the lower corners of any floor. At these extreme positions, the ghosts will not be able to travel over to you and harm you. From this position, you can sit and destroy the ghosts before you move. Be sure to eliminate every one that you see before leaving. You are not strong enough to take on the boss of this tower, so do not climb to the top. Instead, return to the cliff wall by walking back, or using an Orange Scroll to warp back to the holy flame.
 * When you enter the path to the tower, you will be confronted by a Fire Demon. Defeat it carefully, and climb the steps.
 * After two flights of steps, you will locate another Heart Circle. Collect it and continue climbing to the top of the path and enter the tower.  Climb up five ladders until you reach the 6th floor of the Tower.
 * On the way, you will find another Heart Circle. You wish to destroy the Blimes that cross between the walls before climbing the next ladder.
 * On the 6th floor, walk to the left of the ladder and you will enter a Parallel World.
 * As soon as you arrive in the Parallel World, move to the lower left corner of your current floor and remove all of the ghosts before proceeding.
 * Once the ghosts are eliminated, proceed to climb down the ladders. If you see another ghost, get to the corner of a floor immediately and remove the ghost.
 * Eventually, you will find the Golden Armor. Collect it and equip it.
 * Climb down one more ladder and enter the upper portion of the floor between the two ladders to return to the real world.

Hyper Helmet
The Hyper Armor is in Tower D, which is one door left of Tower E. Starting from the holy flame, it will be the fourth door that you pass when walking in either direction. From here, return to the cliff wall.
 * Climb all the way up the path to the entrance of the Tower. Be sure to stop and defeat any bats that appear, as well as the Killer Hounds that you encounter near the top.  You can safely avoid the Small Devils, and the Wall Fish.
 * Inside the Tower, climb up two ladders. On the third floor, walk to the left side of the floor to find the entrance to the Parallel World.
 * Once again, move into one of the floor corners upon arriving, and destroy all of the ghosts that are flying around.
 * When all of the ghosts are gone, begin climbing up the parallel Tower. Eventually, you will locate the Hyper Helmet.
 * Climb to the very top of the parallel Tower, and walk to the right edge of the floor to find the portal back to the real world.
 * Climb down a few floors when you return to the real Tower to locate another Circle Heart.

Shield of Kings
To safely collect the Shield of Kings, you will need to obtain the Magic Mace first. Collecting the Shield is very difficult without its aid. The Magic Mace is in Tower C, which is one door left of Tower C. Starting from the holy flame, walk to the right and enter the third door.
