Asterix (Sega)/Round 4–1

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

Asterix[edit]

In this round you'll face bats and guys in jars throwing snakes. Anyway, head to the right and get the red potion from the upper level. After that you'll reach a pot. Enter it for the usual item-catching game, except this time there are no lightning men. If you punch it to the right you'll get some items, but if you punch it once to the left you'll enter an area with a crocodile followed by the key in a pot. When you reach the barrier you can either throw potions onto the falling platform to make a hole or else jump onto it at its highest to jump over it. When you return to the surface, head to the right and sink below the mud. Head to the left and grab the potion, then head to the right. Immediately start jumping across, because deadly lava will start flowing down behind you. When you reach the barrier you are safe.

Rather than solving this the usual way, activate the barrier then jump on top of it and immediately jump to the right. Drop down and grab the helmet, then use the spring to surface. The pot here leads to the same areas as the first one, so if you already have the key you don't need it. Hit it to the left until it lands on the snake-thrower's pot, then use it to reach the area to the left. Go into the pot to reach a spring which takes you to the usual cloud area. When you're done punch the pot to the left and jump onto it to cross the barrier and grab the helm to the left. Continue to the left and go through the door.

Obelix[edit]

In this round you'll face bats and guys in jars throwing snakes. When you reach the blue pot, head into it. There is a key below you in a blue pot. At the end it's best to jump onto the platform when it's at its highest and then jump over the barrier, as if you try to destroy it the croc may catch you first. If you hit the pot into the right-hand cleft you'll get the usual item-catching clouds stage. If you hit it to the far far left you'll reach a strange miniboss battle. This enemy throws projectiles diagonally upwards followed by straight ahead, and takes three hits to kill. The blocks contain a helmet. Once you have a key head to the right. Activate the door block and sink beneath the mud. Head to the right then immediately start jumping across, because deadly lava will start flowing down behind you. When you pass the blocks you are safe. Ride the blocks up and grab the potion, then jump on the spring to reach the next area.

In its default position the pot here takes you to the key area. If you hit it to the left or right you reach an area with crocodiles, a crossbones and some meat. Jump into the mud and head left. The blocks contain a bag of gold, and the pot you just swam under leads to the cloud area (which will be empty if you've already cleared it). Jump out and into the area by the door and sink down. You'll land on or near a helmet. Then swim up to the exit.
