There are three s, but one moves faster than the others. That is the one you must defeat. (i.e. the other two are irrelevant). Four s will then appear. Of the four s, only one is real, and is not invincible like the rest. Defeat the true , and the will then appear. Defeat the . Possession of the Ruby Mace makes this fight substantially easier. will appear. He is extremely fast, can teleport, and can cast spells at you. Try to wait for him to come to you and kill him as quickly as possible. Do not block any of his spells from your Hyper Armor or you will not proceed to Floor 60 (i.e. One hit with your sword drawn is fatal). Find and collect the and open the to finish. Proceed to Floor 60 (The final floor).

A small crystal rod tower appear to your left. Walk another 7 squares adjacent to point (3) and push down on the joystick again, same manner. Now walk down to point (4) to turn the into , . Walk to point (5), the dead center. The blue crystal rod tower should appear after walking 10 squares. Push down on the joystick to complete the game. You will be congratulated.
FC	Same as above but you need to stop in front of Ki for 4 seconds before you collect her and finish. You don't need to do it but it makes the timer much slower. The "Congratulations" screen is different than the arcade version but it is extended into more elaborate credits (adding the cast and the Another tower code) and a screen saying that you finished the "extra version" of the Tower of Druaga.
GB	Draw your sword when you push down the final time to finish the game.
AT	The method is the same as the arcade version, with the exception that your sword must be drawn whenever you walk down through points (2), (3), and (5).
ATp	Walk up to, and collect, Ishtar, who will be waiting on the left side. Now you need to walk to a position that is 7 blocks from the left, and 7 rows from the top, and shake your sword. A small tower should appear. Then walk 6 blocks to the right so that you are now 13 blocks from the left, and shake your sword. Now climb up to the second row from the top and shake your sword in the square that is 10 blocks from the left. You should now have a triangle of small towers. Finally, stand in the bottom of the cleared out vertical strip in the center of the stage, and face up (looking at Ki).
