Treasure: None
GB Ironically, there is a normal Helmet on this level that is not found in other versions. Defeat every enemy to collect it.
AT Stay at the same column of the Tower of Druaga Door.png, and draw the sword until the timer turns red. You will find an empty treasure box.
ATp There is a treasure on this floor but it only appears when you've exited the floor. Thus, it is impossible to claim. But using a GameShark to always obtain a floor's treasure on the PlayStation it turns out to be just another pair of Jet Boots.

Treasure: Hyper Gauntlet
Tower of Druaga Hyper gauntlet.png This magic gauntlet allows Gil to draw his sword much quicker than before. If you did not collect the Balance, the treasure will contain the Evil Gauntlet and prevent you from drawing your sword, which must never be picked up. You will lose it while you are zapped to a lower floor.

Treasure: Red Necklace
Tower of Druaga Red necklace.png This necklace will allow Gil to pass harmlessly through the fire of a Tower of Druaga Sorcerer.png and Tower of Druaga Slime Dark Yellow.png.

AC Cross paths with a Tower of Druaga Will'o Wisp Blue.png.

Treasure: Gate Detection Book (a. k. a. Book of Gates)
Tower of Druaga Book gate.png Without this book, the real Tower of Druaga Door.png won't appear on Floor 29 and the Tower of Druaga Door.png on Floor 30 won't be visible to you so you will unable to advance to Floor 31.

Treasure: Gold Pickaxe
Tower of Druaga Gold pickax.png This pickaxe is considerably sturdy. This can also destroy walls. It has unlimited uses. If it is used on outer walls, it's lost for good. Causes a Tower of Druaga Treasure.png to appear on the 52nd floor later on.
AC Spin the joystick clockwise 3 times in this order: Up dpad Right dpad Down dpad Left dpad
GB There are two Tower of Druaga Door.pngs on this level, but only one is real and one is fake. You must stand on the real Tower of Druaga Door.png, and return to your original starting position. Since you don't know which one is real, you need to try each one.
AT Draw the sword, press Start button to pause the game, then press again to unpause.
ATp Destroy the Silver Pickaxe if you have it. Then, walk to the pillar in the middle of the stage and walk around it in a clockwise direction 3 times. (You can still obtain this treasure if you lost the Silver Pickaxe previously)
