In the [[NES|Famicom]] and [[Game Boy]] versions, when you beat the game, you are provided with a special code that unlocks a much more difficult version of the game known as '''Another Tower'''.  In this version, the monsters are stronger, and the methods to obtain the treasures chests have been made more difficult.  The code to unlock this alternate version is contained below.
The maps shown in this walkthrough are for the arcade and any arcade based variant (such as in [[Namco Museum Vol. 3]]).  The [[NES|Famicom]] and [[Game Boy]] versions contain different floor layouts than the arcade, and thus the mazes here do not reflect those found in either version.  The treasure reveal methods for the Famicom are the same as the arcade where positions on the map are unimportant.  Many of the treasure reveal methods for the Game Boy are similar, but there are a few that have changed entirely.  Where ever possible, the walkthrough will attempt to describe those differences.  As a bonus to Famicom and Game Boy players, experts who complete the game successfully are awarded with a special code that will unlock a more difficult version of the game known as ''Another Tower''.  In this tower, the monsters are tougher, and the treasure reveal methods require far more patience and skill.  The special code is revealed below:

Template:All Game Nav While the layout of the floors, and the enemies they contain, change from level to level, the basic goal of The Tower of Druaga is the same throughout. You must navigate the maze in search of the Template:Druaga. Once you find the Template:Druaga, you are free to locate the Template:Druaga and escape to the next floor. Once you ascend to the next floor, you can never return to the previous floor. In higher floors, special items may be required in order to see the location of the Template:Druaga and the Template:Druaga.

Every floor (with just a few exceptions) contains a hidden Template:Druaga. The way reveal the Template:Druaga changes with each floor. Some methods are intuitive, while other methods may seem bizarre. For the most part, you not only want to find these treasures, you will also need them in order to succeed. The treasure found on each floor, as well as the method to obtain it, stays the same for that floor every time you play.

The maps shown in this walkthrough are for the arcade and any arcade based variant (such as in Namco Museum Vol. 3). The Famicom and Game Boy versions contain different floor layouts than the arcade, and thus the mazes here do not reflect those found in either version. The treasure reveal methods for the Famicom are the same as the arcade where positions on the map are unimportant. Many of the treasure reveal methods for the Game Boy are similar, but there are a few that have changed entirely. Where ever possible, the walkthrough will attempt to describe those differences. As a bonus to Famicom and Game Boy players, experts who complete the game successfully are awarded with a special code that will unlock a more difficult version of the game known as Another Tower. In this tower, the monsters are tougher, and the treasure reveal methods require far more patience and skill. The special code is revealed below:

Another Tower access code

At the title screen, enter Up dpad Up dpad Up dpad Up dpad Up dpad Up dpad Left dpad Left dpad Left dpad Left dpad Right dpad Right dpad Right dpad.

For the Game Boy version, substitue Up dpad with B button.

Warning: By examining the following pages, you will learn the methods for obtaining the Template:Druaga on every floor. Proceed only if you wish to know this information.
