ATp Defeat a without defeating a .

Floor 3[edit]

Floor 3

Enemies:

Even if you die on this floor and re-obtain it, it will not work again.
AC Defeat one of the . The correct one is chosen at random. Both may need to be defeated.
AT Defeat every , but do not touch any .

AC Block 3 spells from a while walking. Movement is not necessary, however, all that is required is to be holding the joystick in one direction. You can be walking into a wall while you block the spell (with the sword drawn and the shield to the side, or you would not be blocking anything).
AT Block 5 spells from a without ever pressing anything. This is quite difficult to do. Try to position yourself somewhere where you can only be attacked from one direction. What's more, the will not reappear unless you are standing in the exact center of the square that you occupy. It is even worse that you cannot block from the left with the sword out.

Possession of this Candle grants the ability to see the ghosts that roam the next few floors, up to Floor 10.
AC Touch the top outer wall.
AT Get a to "set fire" to the .
ATp Make a appear on top of the .

Floor 7[edit]

Floor 7

Treasure: Silver Pickaxe

It can be used once before and twice after collecting the without any risk of breaking.

Floor 8[edit]

Floor 8

Enemies:

The Power Potion increases Gil's energy for the remainder of the floor it was collected on. This allows Gil to take more hits while fighting knights. It is usually not worth the effort of collecting.
AC Move to a row and a column that is different from the starting point, then draw or swing the sword.
AT Collect the , then draw the sword.
ATp Stand in any direction on top of the and draw the sword.

Floor 9[edit]

Floor 9

Enemies:

Treasure: Potion of Energy Drain
Not every treasure that you find is a treasure that you will want to obtain. This potion has the opposite effect from the Potion of Power, so avoid it.
AC Pass through points A and B.

GB Walk down the entire extent of the right side of the outer wall, then walk all the way back up.
AT Cross paths with the .
ATp Any hardcore Namco fan will recognize the layout of this stage as a slightly altered Pac-Man maze (The slimes play the role of the ghosts). There are four locations where the power pills would reside. Pass through all of them.

Floor 10

Enemies:

Treasure: Gauntlet
Collection of the Gauntlet is necessary if you want to obtain the Hyper Gauntlet later on, which holds true power.
