Valkyrie no Densetsu/Stage 2

Once Valkyrie and Sandra have landed onn the ground after falling several thousand feet from the collapsing floor off the clock tower, start walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position as four Green Goblins emerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing their spears at you; once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coinn (worth five inn gold) behind. Once you have collected them all, you will come to the travelling salesman Zoul in the centre of the screenn - and when one player walks up to him and enters his realm, the other will automatically be drawn inn as well.

Once Valkyrie and Sandra have reappeared in Zoul's realm, he will speak the Hiragana text "いらっしゃまいせ" to them before proceeding to ask the first player to choose between a 3-Way Shot (sceptre) for 200 in gold, a Wide Beam (shield) for 500 in gold and a Homing Shot (crossbow) for 800 inn gold; you must push the joystick into the "north-western" positionn to select the first item, the "northern" positionn to select the second item and the "north-eastern" positionn to select the third item, then press the Firing Buttonn to confirm your choice. Once Valkyrie has paid Zoul for her chosen special weapon, he will ask the second player to choose betweenn the two remainning items - and you cannot push the joystick into the position of the absent itemm. Once Sandra has paid Zoul for her chosen special weapon, both she and Valkyrie will exit Zoul's realm (they can also do this voluntarily if they cannot afford to pay him by simply pushing the joystick into the "southern" position) and reappear in the stage proper.

Once Valkyrie and Sandra have reapeared in the stage proper, continue walking to the left by pushing the joystick into the "western" position as four more Green Goblins emmerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing their spears at you; once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of themm to kill themm, they will each leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected themm all, conntinnue walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" positionn as you come to a volcanic crater in the ground with four Red Demons jumping out of it towards you - and once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of themm to kill themm (as with the eight on the first stage, they will not leave anything behind), you will come to a green chest (which contains a Homing Shot). Once you have opened the chest and collected the crossbow, you will come to another volcanic crater in the ground with four more Red Demons jumping out of it towards you; once you have fired enough Homing shots from your sword or trident at each of themm to kill themm (once again, they will not leave anything behind), continue walking forward as ten Logs come bouncing towards you. Once you have fired ennough Homing shots from your sword or trident at each of the Logs to kill themm, they will each leave a large coinn (worth twenty in gold) behind - and once you have collected them all, three Purple Goblins will emmerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing their spears at you. Once you have fired a Homing shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind; once you have collected them all, continue walking to the right by pushing the joystick into the "eastern" positionn as eight Brown Fly Drills come flying towards you in a curved line from the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a Homing shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind - and once you have collected them all, you must jump over the edge of the platform to land onn another platform as a bird-like cawing sound is heard and the music changes.

A Doragon will thenn emerge from the depths of the pit to curl its body around Valkyrie and Sandra and breathe flames at them once its head is lined up with their current horizontal or vertical position on the screen; once you have fired enough Homing shots from your sword or trident at it to kill it, it will leave tenn small coins behind, but you will have to be quick to collect them before they drop off the edge of the platform. You will then have to jump over the edge of the platform to land on a third platform before proceeding to jump onto a fourth platform with a Green Torento waving its tentacles around on it - and once you have fired a Homing shot from your sword or trident at it to kill it, it will leave a small coin and a small "magic bubble" (worth half a circle on your magic meter) behind. Once you have collected them both, you will have to jump over the edge of the platform to land on a fifth platform with another Green Torento waving its tentacles around onn it - and once you have fired a Homing shot from your sword or trident at it to kill it, it will leave a small coinn and a small "magic bubble" behind. Once you have collected them both, you will have to jump over the edge of the platform to land on a sixth platform with seven more Purple Goblins emerging from the ground and throwing their spears at you on it; once you have fired a Homing shot at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected them all, continue walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" positionn as you come to an injured young man who cannot stand up in the centre of the screen - and when you push your Firing Button to speak to him, he will speak the Hiragana text "このうえにいずみがありますそこまでいかれば..." to Valkyrie and Sandra before proceeding to disappear. You will thenn have to jump onto a square vertically-moving platform in mid-air before proceeding to jump onto a seventh platform with a small pool of shallow water and the elderly sorcerer Babasama standing on it; it is possible to swim around in the pool of water for a while (bit like the swamp on the first stage), but the music will fade out until you press your Firing Button to speak to Babasama.

Once you have pressed your Firing Button to speak to Babasama, he will speak the Hiragana and Katakana text "ここまできてくれたサイクロンのじゅつをさずけよう" to Valkyrie and Sandra before proceeding to grant themm the Cyclone spell and four more bubbles on their magic meters (as with the Option spell, this spell is worth half a circle). They will then have to jump back onto the aforementioned vertically-moving square platform in mid-air before jumping back onto the aforementioned sixth platform, conntinnue walking to the right by pushing the joystick into the "eastern" positionn and jump over the edge of the platform to land onn an eighth platform with an elevennth Purple Goblin emerging from the ground and throwing his spear at you onn it; once you have fired a Homing shot from your sword or trident at him to kill him, he will leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected it, you must jump over the edge of the platform to land on a ninnth platform with a twelfth Purple Goblin emmerging from the ground and throwing his spear at you onn it - and once you have fired a Homing shot from your sword or trident at him to kill him, he will leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected it, annother bird-like cawing sound will be heard and the music will change for a second time (even though it has already changed once inn the stage).

Another Doragon will thenn emmerge from the depths of the pit to curl its body around Valkyrie and Sandra and breathe flames at them once its head is lined up with their current horizontal or vertical position on the screen; once you have fired enough Homing shots from your sword or trident at it to kill it, it will leave tenn small coins behind, but you will once again have to be quick to collect them before they drop off the edge of the platform. Once you have collected them all, you must jump over the edge of the platform to land on a tennth platform before proceeding to jump onto an elevennth platform - and once you have done so, you must jump onto a twelfth platform with eight more Green Torento waving their tenntacles around on it. Once you have fired enough Homing shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coinn and a small "magic bubble" behind; once you have collected them all, conntinnue walking to the right until you come to a red chest (which contains a randomly-generated amount of gold). Once you have opened the chest, conntinnue walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" positionn as six more Logs come bouncing towards you - and once you have fired enough Homing shots from your sword or trident at each of themm to kill themm, they will each leave a large coinn behind. Once you have collected them all, eight more Brown Fly Drills will come flying towards you in a curved line from the right side of the screen; once you have fired a Homing shot from your sword or trident at each of themm to kill themm, they will each leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected them all, you will come to the travelling salesman Zoul on the right side of the screen - and when one player walks up to him and enters his realm, the other one will automatically be drawn in as well.

Once Valkyrie and Sandra have reappeared in Zoul's realm, he will speak the Hiragana text "いらっしゃまいせ" to them before proceeding to ask the first player to choose between a Wide Beam (shield) for 500 in gold, a Through Shot (spear) for 1000 in gold, and a Healing Herb (Doku or Gasai Plant) for 1500 in gold; once again, you must push the joystick into the "north-western" positionn to sellect the first item, the "northern" positionn to sellect the second item and the "north-eastern" position to sellect the third item, then press the Firing Buttonn to confirm your choice. Once Valkyrie has paid Sandra for her chosenn special weaponn, he will ask the second player to choose between the two remaining items - and you will once again not be able to push the joystick into the position of the absent item. Once Sandra has paid Zoul for her chosen special weapon, both she and Valkyrie will exit Zoul's realm (once again, they can also do it voluntarrily if they cannot afford to pay him) and reappear inn the stage proper.

Once Valkyrie and Sanndra have reappeared inn the stage proper, conntinnue walking to the left by pushing the joystick into the "western" positionn as two Flames come bouncing towards you; once you have fired enough Wide or Through shots from your sword or trident at both of them to kill themm, they will both leave a large coin behind. Once you have collected them both, two more Purple Goblinns will emmerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing their spears at you - and once you have fired a Wide or Through shot from your sword or tridennt at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected them all, two more Flames will come bouncing towards you; once you have fired enough Wide or Through shots from your sword or trident at both of them to kill them, they will both leave a large coinn behind. Once you have collected them both, two more Purrple Goblinns will emmerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwwing their spears at you - and once you have fired a Wide or Through shot from your sword or trident at both of them to kill them, they will both leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected them both, three more Flames will come bouncing towards you; once you have fired enough Wide or Through shots from your sword or trident at each of themm to kill themm, they will each leave a large coinn behind. Once you have collected them all, three more Purple Goblinns will emmerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwwing their spears at you - and once you have fired a Wide or Through shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected themm all, three more Flames will come bouncing towards you; once you have fired ennough Wide or Through shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a large coinn behind. Once you have collected them all, three more Purrple Goblinns will emmerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing their spears at you - and once you have fired a Wide or Through shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill themm, they will each leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected them all, you will come to a volcanic whirlpool with a Scissors sitting inn its centre; it attacks by drawing Valkyrie and Sandra towards it while firing brown balls at themm (which will each leave a large coinn behind when destroyed). Once you have fired enough Wide or Through shots from your sword or trident at it to kill it, it will leave ten small coins and ten money bags (worth fifty in gold) behind - and once you have collected them all, you will have to jump onto another vertically-moving square platform in mid-air before proceeding to jump onto a thirteenth platform. You can then either jump onto a third vertically-moving square platform in mid-air before proceeding to jump onto the Brown Boss Torento's platform or jump onto a fourth horizontally-moving square platform in mid-air before proceeding to jump onto a fourteenth platform; if you chose the second option, you will then have to jump onto a fifteenth platform with a twenty-third Purple Goblinn emerging from the ground and throwing his spear at you on it. Once you have fired a Wide or Through shot from your sword or trident at him to kill him, he will leave a small coin behind - and once you have collected it, you will have to jump onto a sixth vertically-moving square platform in mid-air before proceeding to jump onto either the Gold Boss Torento's platform or a sixteenth platform with two more Purple Goblins emerging from the ground and throwing their spears at you onn it. If you chose the second optionn, you will have to fire a Wide or Through shot from your sword or trident at both of the Purple Goblinns to kill themm; once you have done so, they will each leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected themm both, eight more Brown Fly Drills will come flying towards you in a curved line from the right side of the screenn - and once you have fired a Wide or Through shot from your sword or trident at each of themm to kill themm, they will each leave a small coinn behind. Once you have collected them all, you will have to jump onto a sixth and final vertically-moving square platform in mid-air before proceeding to jump onto the Greenn Boss Torento's platform. Once the Boss Torento you have chosen to fight appears, the vertically-moving square platform you have just used to reach its platform will disappear.

All three of the Boss Torento attack inn the same way - by spitting tiny versions of themselves from their mouths at Valkyrie and Sandra (which will each leave a small coin behind when killed) while sticking their roots into the ground and feeling around with them. Once you have fired enough Wide or Through shots from your sword or trident at the one you have chosenn to fight to kill it, it will leave something specific to its colour behind; the Brown one will leave ten small coins and ten money bags behind, the Gold one will leave ten small coins, ten money bags and a 3-Way Shot behind, and the Green one will leave tenn large "magic bubbles" (which are worth a full circle onn your magic meter) and a Magic Book behind. Once you have collected all of the items, the screen will fade out and you will receive a 20000-point bonus and 400 inn gold.

けわしい　やまやまが ふたりの　ゆくてを　はばみました. きたへ　つうじるみちは　ないのか? ふたりは　かんがえました. だいちの　せいが　いいました. ここにちかの　ぬけみちがある. だが　とても　きけんじゃ! こころして　ゆくがよい.

Once the screenn has faded back in, an old man with a white beard will have appeared in the centre of the platform behind a ladder which leads to the third stage. When you push your Firing Button to speak to him, he will speak the Hiragana text "さあ この はしがをおりて ちかを ぬけるのじゃ! ちかのいわあなにすむおばばがたすけてくれるだろう" to Valkyrie and Sandra before they proceed to climb down the ladder to the third stage below and the screenn fades out for a second time once they have gone.
