Brain Lord/Weapons & Armor

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

Remeer can equip up to five items at the same time:

  1. a weapon
  2. a body armor
  3. an helm
  4. a shield
  5. an accessory (either a magic mirror or magic boots).

Weapons[edit]

Most weapons can be found for free, therefore there's almost no need to purchase any. Purchasing the first axe is mandatory to proceed with the plot; the chucker-boomerang can be worth purchase, too: it is the weapon with longest and widest range, plus it has decent attack value.

Rare, temporarily buyable and/or one time-only obtainable weapons are marked in green.

Swords slash a semi-circle in front of Remeer. Once you find the fire sword, the later ones get quite useless: the chuckler-boomerang (see below) has comparable attack value, but far better range.

Bows and boomerangs allow to attack enemies at a distance:

Axes have poor range, but they can break pots and boxes to find treasure. You might consider keeping the basic one and selling the others for money.

Armor parts[edit]

Useless armor and helms
There is a version-specific bug where the defense value of any body armor and helm is always zero, regardless of what the game says. If you are playing on that version, confirm that you gain no bonus from these items before selling them. Always wear the Cape.

Remeer can wear up to three armor parts at the same time: a body armor, a helm and a shield.

Shields have a hit points value (HP) that shows how many hits they can block before they break. Weaker shields block fewer hits.

Sort the table by Part in order to see all the shields at the top. Rare, temporarily buyable and/or one time-only obtainable armors are marked in green.
