Lufia & the Fortress of Doom/The Fortress of Doom

During the walkthrough, I will follow this format for each section of the game. Location > Recommended Level (for Hero) > Treasure List > Enemies (weakness) > Shops > Walkthrough > Boss Strategy > Recommended Equipment.

We begin our adventure controlling Maxim and Co. at the Fortress of Doom. You can skip the treasure here if you like, as it's not really important, nor does it contribute to your final treasure count, but I'll go over it here anyway. In the left room, you will find a chest which contains a POWER POTION. Then, take the steps down to the next floor.

Follow the path to an intersection, where you should go up to three chests which contain a SPEED POTION, MIND POTION, and GREAT POTION. Return to the intersection and take the other path to the stairs back to the first floor.

Open the chest in the room which contains a SPELL POTION. Leave the room, then head up the main hall to the steps to the second floor.

Along the straight-forward path to the next floor are two enclosed rooms. In the first room, you will find a chest which contains a POWER POTION. In the second room, you will find a chest which contains a SPELL POTION. Otherwise, just follow the path through the hall to the stairs to the third floor.

Before climbing the above platform, you may want to walk around to the back to find two chests which contain 2 MIRACLES, even through you already have 87 of them in your initial inventory. Return to the steps, then climb up to the second platform. If you care, the first platform will lead you to steps, where you will find an HP and MP restoration tiles, but you won't need them. Just climb up to the stairs to the fourth floor.

If you like, walk around the perimeter of the room to find the final three chests which also contain 3 MIRACLES. From the steps, walk across the glass bridge to the fifth floor where you will find what you came here for.

After defeating the Sinistrals, the plot resumes, as we move forward to another time 99 years after the battle at Doom Island.
