Magic Key |
The Magic Key is a requirement to escaping from each ruin. In some ruins, the Magic Key can be found inside a treasure chest. In other ruins, the key must be purchased from a merchant. In either case, you will not be able to escape from the final room of a ruin, no matter how many enemies you kill, if you do not possess this key. |
 |
Life Star |
Some treasure chests contain a star which you can collect for one extra life. |
 |
Tablet |
The tablet is an information item that only certain old men inhabiting the ruins can read. They provide hints on how to progress through the game. Since the game is in Japanese, the old men can only help you if you understand Japanese. Therefore, do not bother to pick them up if you cannot read Japanese. |
 |
Parchment |
Parchments contain ancient documents that only certain old women inhabiting the ruins can read. They provide hints on how to progress through the game. Since the game is in Japanese, the old women can only help you if you understand Japanese. Therefore, do not bother to pick them up if you cannot read Japanese. |
 |
Gold Statue |
Gold statues are ancient items that do not serve a particular purpose in the game, other than to sell them to merchants for their worth in gold. This can be a time saving measure if you need to buy a Magic Key and are having trouble collecting gold from enemies. |

Demon Seal |
The Demon Seal is one of two items that you may store. You may only store this or the Numbness Medicine at one time. You may not store more than the number of Aura Star pieces you have collected, but you may always store at least one. The Demon Seal will spray bullets around the room in a circular fashion for a few seconds, killing every enemy that it hits. Press + to activate one. |
 |
Numbness Medicine |
The Numbness Medicine is the other of two items that you may store. Like the Demon Seal, you may not store more than the number of Aura Star pieces you have collected, but you may always store at least one. The Numbness Medicine surrounds Jason with an orbiting orb that will stun every enemy that it comes in contact with. Stunned enemies can sometimes be killed, but not always. Press + to activate one. |

Baluba's Precious Article |
Baluba's Precious Article is a helmet that will grant Jason with temporary invincibility. When he touches it, he will begin to blink, and he can kill any enemy by crashing into them. It will only last a few seconds, and Jason will become vulnerable as soon as it ends, so be careful. |
