ATp	When the timer reaches 7650 (Namco's special number), 4 will appear. At that time, draw your sword and walk towards the chests. Only one of the four chests will allow the sword to appear "above" the chest. All the other chests will obscure the sword. Only open the chest that allows the sword to be seen.

Enemies:

Treasure: Balance

AT	Stay at the same column of the , and pull your sword out 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.

Enemies:

Treasure: Hyper Gauntlet
	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.

Enemies:

Treasure: Gate Detection Book (a. k. a. Book of Gates)

GB	Similar to AC, but may differ slightly; it didn't appear to work at first.
AT	Remain in contact with a for approximately 3 to 5 seconds until the appears.

AC	Spin the joystick clockwise 3 times in this order:
GB	There are two s on this level, but only one is real and one is fake. You must stand on the real , and return to your original starting position. Since you don't know which one is real, you need to try each one.
AT	Draw your sword, press once to pause the game, then press again to unpause, and the Gold Pickax will appear.
ATp	Use up the Silver pickax if you have it. Then walk to the lone pillar in the middle of the stage, and walk around it in a clockwise direction three times. You can still obtain this treasure if you lost the silver pickax previously.
