The Tower of Druaga/Floor 31-40

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki
Legend:
AC Arcade (the default method)
FC Famicom
GB Game Boy (original and Namco Gallery Vol. 2)
PS PlayStation (Namco Museum Vol. 3)

Treasure: Pearl
Tower of Druaga Pearl.png This precious stone has the power to stop dragons in their tracks and prevent them from moving about the floor when you are near.
AC Press the 1 Player Start button. In Namco Museum Battle Collection on PSP, press Select button. In Namco Museum DS, press Start button.
FC Press Select button.
PS Press Start button to pause the game, then unpause it.
GB Walk (completely) through the starting point of the stage three times.
AT Stay in the middle of a block at the outer wall, and keep the sword drawn for 10 seconds until the Tower of Druaga Treasure.png appears.
ATp Press the Open button on the PlayStation to open the CD lid, then close the CD lid. If playing on the PS2 or PS3 eject the CD and re-insert it. It may take a few seconds to appear.

Treasure: Balance
Tower of Druaga Balance.png This balance is just as important as the last one, as it is needed to collect the Hyper Shield. Without it, the Tower of Druaga Treasure.png on Floor 33 would become the Evil Shield, possessing a diminished ability to block spells.
AC Draw the sword twice in quick succession. This takes a little timing. You should visibly see the sword get drawn and put away twice.
GB Draw the sword in one of the four corners, but make sure that you don't accidentally destroy your pickax in the process! (Note: This does not appear to be fully correct, but the corners are definitely involved somehow.)
AT Defeat the Tower of Druaga Quox.png when it is facing south.
ATp Defeat every Tower of Druaga Wizard.png without ever returning the sword to its sheath. So once you draw the sword to defeat one Tower of Druaga Wizard.png, you must leave it out until every other Tower of Druaga Wizard.png is defeated. Try to start out in such a way that you can defeat two Tower of Druaga Wizard.png in one shot whenever they overlap.

Treasure: Hyper Shield
Tower of Druaga Hyper shield.png The best shield in the game, no other shield can match this shield's ability to block the evil spells of the magicians. This treasure will be the Evil Shield if the Balance is not collected which will prevent Gil from blocking more spell attacks. Do not obtain this treasure if you did not obtain the Balance. It will be lost for good when you are zapped to a lower floor.
AC Pass through the Tower of Druaga Dragon Silver.png.
GB Defeat the Tower of Druaga Dragon Silver.png.
AT Defeat both Tower of Druaga Slime Red.png before any other enemy.
ATp There are exactly 4 walls in this stage, and they must all be destroyed. (whether by pickaxe or by dragon breath) But they are rendered invisible once gameplay begins, so you must try to remember their location when the stage is being introduced. They are located at 2 rows and 4 columns left of the BOTTOM RIGHT corner, 5 rows and 7 columns from the BOTTOM RIGHT corner, 3 rows and 0 columns from the BOTTOM LEFT corner and 2 rows and 4 columns from the UPPER LEFT.

Treasure: Key Detection Book (a. k. a. Book of Keys)
Tower of Druaga Book keys.png Without this book, the Tower of Druaga Key.png on the next floor (35) won't be visible to you so you will unable to advance to Floor 36. Collect the Book of Keys and keys will be visible.
AC Defeat one particular Tower of Druaga Knight Mirror.png. The correct one is random.
AT Either collect the Tower of Druaga Key.png and then pass through a Tower of Druaga Knight Mirror.png, or do those two steps in reverse order. In either case, the Tower of Druaga Knight Mirror.png cannot be killed before the treasure appears.
ATp Cross paths with a Tower of Druaga Knight Mirror.png while you stand motionless. Just like the original game, the correct one is random.

Treasure: Hyper Helmet
Tower of Druaga Hyper helmet.png Like the Power Potion, this winged armored helmet increases Gil's energy. However, if you did not collect the Balance, this treasure will contain the Evil Helmet, and affect Gil's health. If you did not obtain the Balance, this treasure should be avoided. You will lose this for good if you are zapped to a lower floor.
AC Defeat both Tower of Druaga Ghost Druid.png, then cross paths with a Tower of Druaga Roper Red.png.
FC Same as in AC. The only difference is that the Evil Helmet also increases energy like the Hyper Helmet, but Gil cannot defeat Druaga with wrong helmet.
GB Defeat the Tower of Druaga Ghost Druid.png, then cross paths with a Tower of Druaga Roper Red.png.
AT Defeat a Tower of Druaga Roper Red.png, then cross paths with a Tower of Druaga Ghost Druid.png.

Treasure: Green Crystal Rod
Tower of Druaga Crystal rod green.png Like many treasures before it, this rod is necessary to collect the greater rods to come.
AC Block a spell from a Tower of Druaga Wizard.png with your sword drawn. You may only do this when spells approach the direction the shield is facing. It is recommended you do this in a corner, where the shots can only come from two directions.
AT Same as AC.

Treasure: Red ring
Tower of Druaga Red ring.png This ring grants you protection from the touch of a Tower of Druaga Will'o Wisp Red.png. Possession of this ring is necessary later on, but be aware that you will lose the Green Ring, and the protection from Tower of Druaga Will'o Wisp Blue.png that it provided.

Treasure: Potion of Death
Tower of Druaga Potion death.png As the name implies, this is not a potion that you should attempt to collect. It causes time to count down much faster, giving you less time to complete the floor.
AC Cross paths with a Tower of Druaga Roper Green.png when the timer is below 10000.
FC Cross paths with a Tower of Druaga Roper Green.png regardless of timer.
GB Exit the floor normally. Face the next mini-boss, two giant wizards. Defeating one of them will make the Tower of Druaga Treasure.png appear, and you have no choice but to pick it up.
AT Defeat an enemy.
ATp Complete the steps in the following order:
  1. Collect the Tower of Druaga Key.png and open the Tower of Druaga Door.png.
  2. Draw the sword repeatedly to make the Tower of Druaga Treasure.png appear.
  3. Collect the Tower of Druaga Treasure.png. At that point, 10 Tower of Druaga Quox.png will appear. Of the 10, only one of them will not be affected by the Pearl (it will not stand still when you come close.)
  4. Defeat this Tower of Druaga Quox.png. At that point, Tower of Druaga Druaga.png will appear.
  5. You must let Tower of Druaga Druaga.png reach the Tower of Druaga Door.png and escape before you exit the floor or you will be zapped back to the previous floor.
