Hydlide/Items and Spells

Items

Item	Name	Location	Description
	Cross	North of the maze	The Cross is the easiest and first item that you will obtain. It is essential to have when you attack the Vampire. Without it, you cannot hurt him.
	Lamp	Vampire's lair	The Lamp will illuminate all of the dark caves scattered throughout Hydlide. It's not required, but it helps immensely.
	Sword	North of the Vampire	This sword is far better than the one you begin the game with, and is worth the trouble to collect in order to have an extra edge against the enemies.
	Magic Pot	The maze	Possession of this magic pot allows you to see the cave hidden inside of the Hydlide Maze grounds. You will need it in order to collect the next item.
	Key	Maze cave	All of the jewelry that has been scattered throughout Hydlide lies inside locked chests. You will need to collect this key in order to obtain the chests, but can you figure out which chest the key is in?
	Jewel	Cemetery	The only piece of jewelry that is placed out in the open. You'll need the key, and a little bravery, in order to collect it.
	Shield	Left side of Armor cave	Possession of the shield can improve your defense, but as much as you might hope for. You'll have to convince a Ladyam to give it up.
	Ring	Right side of Armor cave	One of the pieces of jewelry has been fitted on a magic ring that has a special property. It will increase the rate at which you regenerate Hit Points. You'll need to get a Goldam to reveal it's location, and get to it without killing anyone else.
	Medicine	Held by the Dragon	This Medicine will revive your life to full health after you are killed, but only once. You'll need to defeat the Dragon in order to claim it. Note: In the original computer version, it is hidden under the water, in a similar fashion to the Ruby.
	Ruby	Underwater	Once the switch on the hidden tombstone has been activated, and all of the water around Lake Hydlide has been drained, treasures hidden beneath the surface will be revealed, but you'll still need to search for them.

Spells

Spell	Magic	Description
Turn	20	When you cast turn, all of the enemies on the screen will turn 180 degrees. This otherwise useless spell can bail you out of a jam if you are surrounded by enemies and can't get away.
Fire	30	A ball of fire will escape from your hands in whichever direction you are facing. This blast will disappear as soon as it hits an enemy or an obstacle.
Ice	40	A blast of ice will shoot across the screen when you cast this spell. Unlike the fireball, it will pass through obstacles, but it will stop as soon as an enemy is hit.
Wave	50	Waves of energy are sent to the left or to the right (they cannot be fired vertically). Not only will the wave continue past obstacles, it will continue beyond any enemies that it hits.
Flash	70	Flash is the most powerful magic of all. It strikes every enemy on the screen and destroys most of them. It will drain a large portion of your magic.
