Gauntlet (NES)/World 5: Difference between revisions

You must go around the perimeter of the room to reach the inner sections.  

There will be acid blobs waiting in when you enter the inner sections to the bottom-right. Simply go around them and take the treasure chest at the top.  

Be careful not to let the grunts take away health from you because they hurt a lot.  

Shot the broken wall segment at the bottom and follow the outermost path around the left of the inner section - sweeping the enemies in your path - until you are in front of the exit.  

Shoot out another deteriorating wall blocking your path and take the exit to Level 87.

Head down around each bend until you reach the bottom.  

You will be forced to return by alternating the path back to the exit.  

Take the outside corridor around the perimter of the level until you reach solid blocks in front of the exit.  

The most threatening monsters will come from the generators layered before, between, and after the skeleton generators.  

These monsters will respawn a lot. Try to destroy the grunt generator while leaving the skeleton generator untouched before cleaning them all. Repeat the same action for the sorcerer generator.

Once again, make a U-turn and take the two keys before reaching the exit to Level 88 (Treasure  

You will want to reach the Clue room on Level 90 to get the last Clue to the vault's combination.

Shoot as many grunt generators as possible diagonally through the solid wall divisions  to make it easier to journey throughout this level.  

Take the three keys behind the three max grunt generators.

There is an exit in the locked chest at the top-right corner of the room, leading you to Level 91.

The next chest to the bottom of the last chest mentioned, against the right wall, will also lead you to Level 91.  

The chest on the top-left contains a poisoned potion that will decrease your health; do not take it.

The chest next to the poisoned potion (left) will contain an exit. The exit leads to Level 91, skipping the Clue room.

The visible exit you saw near the start will lead you to Level 91.  

The only exit that will lead you to the Clue room will be located at the bottom-left corner in a locked chest. Use the key and unlock the chest to take the exit to Level 90 (Clue room).

The chest at the top-left (inside the nook) contains a bomb.  

The chest at the very top-left corner contains a poisoned potion; do not take it.  

The chest at the very top-right corner contains a jug of water, refilling health by 100.  

The chest at the bottom-right of the corridor contains a bowl of gruel (food), refilling health by 100.  

The Clue is located at the end of the hallway in the chest at the right end of the room, after bending the corridor and taking the left to enter the hallway.  

There is a movable block at the end of anotherhallway to the left of the exit, separated by solid walls. Shoot the walls to reveal a hidden wall that can be destroyed - watch out for the Death!

If you don't have a bomb and cannot afford to eat the cost, evade him.  

You should now have all of the Clues necessary to unlock the combination to the vault.

The exit at the bottom is a fake and will not take you out of the room.

The flashing floor trigger at the bottom will clear the solid wall blocking the exit at the top of this level. The other one at the top will clear the solid wall near the exit at the bottom of the level.  

There is a bomb in the lower chest if you can spare a key for it.

The top chest contains a poisoned potion; stay away and don't take it.

The exit at the top is behind a teleporter, wedged at the bottom opening of the diagonal walls.

This is a great opportunity to stock up on treasure.

There is a hidden exit at the far left edge of the room that can be revealed by shooting the solid wall. Be careful about the bottleneck after the acid blobs - you can be swarmed easily by grunts and ghosts.

The exit at the bottom-left corner will take you to Level 95. (Standard Linear Route)

The exit at the bottom-right corner will take you to Level 97. (Skipping Levels 95 and 96)

The creatures in this level are slow moving and slow paced.  

You will have ample time to find the exit in this room full of false exit tiles.  

Level 99 is a very difficult level because of the sheer amount of resistance you will face and the need to endure it all.

Four Death's immediately wait for you at the start of this level and eagerly await you to end your quest.  

Destroy the two grunt generators at the beginning and the two skeleton generators through the diagonal spaces between the solid walls at the corners of the starting area, if you have the time.

Unless you have a few bombs to spare to destroy the four Deaths, you will need to stay on the move here.

You will need a bomb to effeciently pass throughthe corridor at the bottom.  

If you utilize the bomb, try to use it at the bottleneck at the postion where you can see the bomb lobbers.  

Otherwise, you will need to destroy the middle grunt generator at the bottom, push through again, and then immediately knock out the two that are beside it - all while fending off the grunts.  

As you head to the left, use the scrolling feature of the edge of the map and snipe the monsters. They will be unaware of you until you trigger awareness at a certain specific distance.  

Use this quirk of the game to eliminate stray grunts, ghosts, and most importantly - generators.  

If you eliminated the ghost generators from the start, you will be free to bend around to the bottom-right corner; you will be met by the acid blob blocking the narrow corridor.  

Either kill it or be patient for it to pass around you.

Again, take a distance from the monsters as you eliminate them on your way as you bend the top-edge border of the map.  

Snipe the monsters before they become aware of you. Do the same for the generators or you will be swarmed.  

Reach the exit and find the final level of the game: Level 100.

;Strategy for the last level:

You will be immediately rushed by grunts of a green tint color. Consider all enemies to be very dangerous and fatal to you. Don't let them touch you.  

The Orb will be on the other side of the wall from your starting position.

You will need at least two keys for this level to unlock two doors.

Take the jug of water (food) towards the left after taking the left-most corridor and unlocking the door. You will recover health points.

Also, there is a bomb in the second narrow corridor (at the end) from the left. Grab it if you can.

The chest at the bottom (far-right corridor) contains a grunt generator; do not open it. Don't waste your key on it.  

Alternating from the left to the right, firing diagonally, would be a sound strategy against the dragon.

Switch the flashing floor trigger on the right and head towards the next room.  

Don't take the exit without the Orb. Otherwise, it will be "Game Over" for you.

Switch the flashing floor trigger at the end of the exit room. Find the Orb and obtain it.
