The country depends on you! You have to destroy the evil dragon and bring peace to Monsterland. |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [2] Control ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| Directional Pad - Moves the hero around, moves the cursor in shops "Up" - Enters doors. "Down" + Button 1 - Uses your currently equipped magic "1" Button - Swings your sword. "2" - Makes the Hero Jump. While underwater, hold it down to float slowly downwards. |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [3] General Tips ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| * When some enemies respawn, they will take more damage before dying. * There is a game timer, represented by the Hourglass Icon in the upper right of your screen. When the time runs out, you will be deducted one full heart. Get the Hourglass when you're running out of time; it won't do anything when your Hourglass Icon is full. * The amount of money you get from Coins and Bags can vary wildly. The guide uses a median amount of gold expected to have in each area. * Enemies that spawn in a screen will only drop gold/items the first two times you kill them. After that they will drop nothing. Its good to kill each enemy 2x in a screen and leave before time runs out, that is the best way to get Exp, gold, magic. * In some areas, you cannot scroll the screen back left once you have moved right. * 10,000 Bonus Points are awarded if you complete a level with a full health bar. * Buy boots first, then Armor, then shields. * Armor is more effective than Shields, due to wonky blocking physics. * When fighting a Boss Monster try to pin him against a wall right before killing him, and the coins that come out will bounce off the wall instead of spreading out; and thus be easier to collect. * It's usually better to get health refills at hospitals than at bars. * A lot of times, it seems to help if you stab while jumpin to make coins appear. * Any purchase made in a store will reset the levels' timer. * For most enemies the first kill will make the enemy drop Gold/Heart/Items and the second will be a point-giving item. |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [4] Stores ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| In Wonderland, there are several types of stores that you can visit. Most are located in town areas, but a few are located in strange places. You can only visit a store twice before they bar their doors; at Armor/Boot/Shield stores, they will close after buying just one item. Stores will also kick you out AND CLOSE after you spend a certain amount of time in them (seems to be about 30 seconds). If you buy something from a store, it will reset your hourglass timer to full. Bars Ale - price varies - refills 1/2 Heart Mead - price varies - refills 1 Heart Sells two types of drinks, Ale or Mead. They regain your health by a small amount.

When you buy a piece of armor, it automatically equips, and the old type is thrown away. Never buy older/weaker armor. Armor (in order of defensive power): Light/Cloth - Pink Knight - Tan Color Leather - Brown Hard/Ceramic - Blue Legendary - Light Blue/White Boots Boots Increase your walking speed and jumping height.

Sword Of Legend - Received in level 9 |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [9] Items ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| Gold Coin - Gives you an amount of Gold.

Bell - Chimes everytime you go the right direction in the Final Castle. |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [11] Magic Spells ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| Magic spells are used by pressing Down and Attack at the same time. They are a side arm to your standard sword attack. In most situations, spells arent that useful. I wouldnt recommend buying them, just getting them off enemies. Bombs - 10g - Fly out in front of you and roll until they hit something. Weak. Fireball - 10g - Flys out and tracks an enemy. Good on Flying enemies. Tornado - 30g - Flys out straight in front of you and bounces off whatever it hits. Can bounce several times, only 2 on screen at once. Hard to use to their full potential. Thunder Flash - 50g - Hurts all enemies on screen, killing some. Not really a practical weapon in most rooms, good in a few rooms and most boss fights. |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [12] Walkthrough ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| Buy only the things i tell you to.

Fight through to your right and if you can't afford both, buy only the Light Shield. You'll also want to step in the Magic Shop and buy either Bombs or Fireballs, depending on which they have. (Bombs preferred). Use a Bomb on the snake over the water but save the rest for level 4. The hourglass appears at the platform over the water. Proceed right and kill the Native at the end of the screen, who might drop a Coin Bag. Don't waste your money on the Cloth Boots even if you can afford them.

The jumps here will be a bit hard, just make sure you are very far right on each of the platforms before attempting them. The Lava is very dangerous! When you hear a noise coming through the wall, press up on that ledge to speak with the Gypsy, it will give you a [SCROLL OF CATHERINE]. Keep going right, avoid the firepits and fight off the single bat. After that, prepare for another boss, and enter the wooden door. Mini Boss - Red Devil - [Broad Sword] This boss can be quite hard. Floats in the air and spits fireballs in groups of four at you. Run in close to make him swoop in. Stand, and swing when he drops down to attack. If you stand in the same place, he will keep swooping down on you. Will take 3-4 Sword swings before he dies. After you kill it, get on top of the door area, and jump 3x to get coins.

Head Left and be careful of the Red Wisps that float around. They are easy to kill, but will hurt you bad if you run into them. Get the free Gold Coins on both sides of the ledge. Jump the spikes and head left, the red wisp at he top will follow you, so fake to the left, then jump up onto the ladder and hurry up it. Stop by the Bar if you like. Head right and go up the ladder.

Next to the Shield Shop, kill the Mouse and press up right above the Bar. Speak with Katherine and get the [FLUTE]. If you need health, go to the hospital for 20$, as opposed to the bar. Head right, and stand on the block to be catapulted to the island. Kill the crab and make your way left. Kill the mouse and go through the door to fight the boss. Boss - Flying Octopus - [Coins & Key] Floats up and down on the right side of the room; alternates shooting 4 or 7 fireballs that float down towards the ground. Jump and strike when hes low, 4 hits will do it. You can get behind him to attack and avoid his fireballs. After this is done, jump into the water and hold left as you fall. This is a mystery shop. Buy a Potion if needed, and maybe a fireball. Head back right walk under the octopus and head right, killing the devils.

He'll tkae a ton of hits before dying. He Jump around and shoots a boulder that breaks into 3 smaller rocks. The rocks fly to both corners, making them hard to avoid.

Keep going right to the exit. Section 5.2 Bar Ale 5g - When you fight the dragon, aim for its head. Mead 28g - My girlfriend betty is in Pyramids bar.

You're in the bottom of a pit with 4 bats, use Fireball or Thunder Blast magic to kill them. You have to kill all four to be able to get out. The bats although tough, don't deal that much damage. Grab the key, climb out, then you'll be on flat land. Head right and jump at the first cactus to get a Coin. Go right and kill the blue native.

Carefully navigate over the spikes, and be careful when you hit the spring block. Try to provoke the ghosts into flying down and attacking you. When you are at the end, quickly jump from floating block to floating block. Then jump back onto the floating block and jump up to the regular block and press "Up". It is a Mystery Shop; buy a Revival Potion if needed.

In the lower left of this section, there's a secret Armor shop between the 2 pillars. Either way, drop down the hole in the middle of the room. From the lower level drop down to get to Room 3. If you jump to the right and hit up, youll enter a Boot Store. Buy the Ceamic Boots if you can. You can visit the Bar by heading left, but you'll want to avoid that. The Red Mice in the bottom of the room will drop hearts on their first kills. Boss - Sphinx - [Coins] When you enter, the Sphinx will ask you questions: Q: What's his favorite hobby ? A: Golf Q: How do I stay in shape? A: Baseball Q: What game did he recently play A: Missile Defense Q: What did I eat for dinner last night? A: No Dinner OR Chicken Dinner If you fail to answer his question correctly, he will attack. If you do answer correctly, he'll just disappear and leave his gold. He will stands and shoot lightning at you, which is blockable, but hard to block. Hit him and he'll teleport to the other side of the room. He takes a lot of hits, and is rather tough. ================================================== Level 7: ??? ================================================== Bar Ale 5g - Something secretive about the echo tower on island. Mead 12g - Earning the guidance bell will helpful. Boot Store - (Legendary, Ceramic Boots) Hospital - 40g Mystery Shop - (Ceramic Boots/Legendary Boots, Wing Boots 30g) Mystery Shop - (Revival Potion/Fireball, Heavy Armor) This level is packed full of Blue Mice. Watch their patterns and sit where they turn around to strike them so they don't run into you. There are some odd shops here, I recommend buying a revival potion if you don't already have one. Proceed right and enter the small house near the right end of the area. Mini Boss - Grim Reaper - [EXCALIBUR SWORD] Has three accomplice wisps, which cannot be killed. Every time the reaper hits you, he drains 5 Gold from you. The accomplice wisps drain your life like normal. The Grim Reaper takes about 5 hits to kill. When you kill him, you'll receive EXCALIBUR SWORD. After killing the Grim Reaper, go right, enter the house and talk to the Elephant. He'll open up a way to take the clouds to the top of the screen.

Kill the Red Knight in the pit (can drop a Knight Shield!) and enter the door from the floating block. The old man will give you THE EMBLEM. After that, keep heading left and exit the Mansion.

(If you kill Mr. Wizard: How do you like the Ale?) Ale - 5g The dragon is said to come here abroad an airship. Mystery Store - (Legendary Boots, Wing Boots) You're in a castle now. You have two directions you can take in this level. The first way will give you 9x Thunder Flash magics, and the other way is a bit shorter. Both ways are hard, just in different ways. We are taking the "Deserted Town/Mr. Wizard" way, because it is easier. Head all the way right, fight off the Slimes, and jump the gap. (To take the shorter way, go down into the big hole). Head right, avoid the Slime and fight off the Mouse. Now you're in a deserted town. You can take the first ladder up and knock on the barred door to access the Bar. Progress right, and use that agility to avoid taking damage. If you want to fight the optional boss-Mr. Wizard; climb up the the ladder to the ledge in the middle of town and press "Up" on the bare wall. Mini Boss - Wizard - [9x Thunder Flash] A difficult boss. The wizard shoots 1 fireball, then hovers over to the other side of the room and repeats. When hes on the ground, wait till he shoots, then jump the fireball and swing for him as he starts to float. Tornado Magic is best against him. Whether you fought him or not, keep going right and enter the cave. Be careful of the gray ghosts, they'll hurt you and take away 10 golds with each hit. Avoid them and continue right killing the bats along the way. On the double platform, in the middle of the firepit, press "Up" to enter the boss fight. Boss - Medusa - [Coin Bags, Key] Jumps around and drops snakes on the floor. The snakes will die in 1 hit. Jump and strike her with your sword in midair as she is jumping. Five hits should kill her. Use Thunder Flash if the small snakes start ganging up on you. Continue right over the next firepit and you'll see a door to the Mystery Shop. There is nothing in there we need, so head right to the next door to finish the level. ================================================== Level 9: Lava Town ================================================== Bar Ale 5g - The icy castle is said to have many stores. Mead 8g - The monstrous creatures seem to have a room in the cavern over there. Shield Shop - (Hard, Legendary) Armor Shop - (Heavy, Hard) Hidden Gold Edge of Lava on desert, jump up - Coin Bag Buy the Hard Armor here if you can. Second choice would be Hard/Legendary Shield. Go to right, hoping on the blocks. At the edge of the ground, hop up for a Gold Bag and also an Hourglass. Kill the Native, then enter the cavern. Section 9.2 - Cavern Hidden Gold First Area: Jump up at the right side - Gold Bag Second Area: Jump from left side to middle - Gold Bag In the first area, jump to the right side, kill the bat. Jump up for a Gold Bag. After falling down the first screen, hold left, a Jump from the ledge to the middle platform will net you a Coin Bag. Fall down 2 screens, fall right all the way. Jump up on the ledge for a Coin Bag. BE CAREFUL! If you jump to the right and hold right, you'll be transported to the next section! (THIS IS A GLITCH). Keep dropping down until you get to the second room with the platform in the Middle, enter to fight a Mini-Boss. Mini Boss - Gargoyle - [Sword of Legend] Walks around slowly and has a circle of fire that shoots out and comes back in. Trap him against the right edge and swing until he goes down. Six hits should do it. After the fight, fall down to the ledge on the left, jump up to get a Coin Bag. Fall down again and head right. Section 9.3 Hidden Gold Jump over the first floating block 3x - 3x Gold Coin Now youre in an Icy Zone. Stand on the first dropping block and jump 3x for 3 Coins. Head right, fight off the natives and enter the tower to fight the Boss. Boss - Pig Warrior - [Gold Bag, Key] Stands and shoots a lightning shot that comes at you head level, thus being hard to block with the sheild. He also jumps and then shoots when he lands. His shots do alot of damage! 3-7 Strikes from the sword and he will be dead. He'll drop a key and Coin Bags. After you finish the pig, go right and kill the native. Enter the door at the far right to end the level. ================================================== Level 10: Ice Cavern ================================================== *Note - The shops in this area are one-visit only. Shield Shop - (Hard 250g, Legendary 350g) Mystery Shop - (Hard or Armor of Legend, Helmet 25g) Magic Shop - (Bombs, Tornado) Boot Shop - (Legendary Boots,Wing Boots 20g) Start moving to the left. Kill the Grim Reaper and keep hoping over the lava while proceeding to the left. There are springs at points in the lava, so if you fall in you aren't trapped. On the second ice platform in the middle of the lava pit is an Armor shop. There second to last platform has a Shield Shop. Buy the Hard Shield, leave, kill the Pink Devils and go left to the next area. Section 9.2 On the first platform is a Magic Shop. Buy some fireballs for this area if hes selling them. The third platform has a Boot Shop. Keep going left and fighting off enemies, until you get to the boss door. Remember the gray Grim Reaper is invincible. There is also a Sheild Shop here.

Head right and kill the crab, he might drop a Big Heart. Make your way right, avoiding the octopuses' shots while killing them quickly. Getting the items they drop is very hard, for some glitchy reason. Grab the Gold Bag on the second ledge and go right into the next section.

The first area with a singular platform in the middle has an hourglass above it. Fall down three more times, avoiding the bats and plants. Jump to the lower left ledge, and grab the Gold bags. Section 11.3 - Dragons Castle *Shops are listed in the order they appear. Bar Ale 5g - The inside of the castle is full of mazes. Mead 28g - The red stone has the mysterious power to weaken the dragon. Mystery Shop - (Hard/Legendary Armor 540g, Helmet 25g) Magic Shop - (Revival Potion, Varies) Hospital - 40g/70 Boot Shop - (Legendary Boots 380g, Wing Boots 30g) Shield Shop - (Legendary Shield, Gauntlet 20g) The first place you'll want to visit here is the Boss, he drops a lot of money! He resides in the third satunchon. The first door goes to the Bar. There is a ton of hidden shops here, and a few non-hidden ones. Once you find these hidden shops, they will close after your first visit! You will have to fend off several Blue Knights in the area, but they aren't too hard. Find the Boot Store, and but the Legendary Boots. Also make sure you have a Revival Potion. Stop by the Hospital on the way out. To the right of the Bar is a Armor Shop; Press "Up" about one door length away. To the right of the Armor Shop is a Magic Shop; Press "Up" about two door lengths away. To the right of the Hospital is a Boot Shop; Press "Up" about one door length away. The next door has a Boss inside. Mini Boss - Knight - [Gold Bag, Key] Same as the other knight. 4-5 Hits will be enough. Tornado magic is very effective against him. To the right of the Boss is a Shield Shop; Press "Up" about one door length away. The next door has a forune teller inside, She'll give you either the BELL or the RUBY. The Bell Chimes when you're going the right direction in the castle. The Ruby makes the final battle easier. Since I'm giving directions, you won't need the Bell, take the Ruby. Go into the next door to exit the stage. ================================================== Level 12: Dragons Castle ================================================== There will be no more shops, so collecting money is useless. The only enemies worth killing are the Large Snakes, Knights, Natives and Crabs. They can drop non-money items. A. Fight off the enemies and take the lower right path. Fight off the enemies and drop down. After falling to the fork, drop down to the right. When you land, go to the left and drop down. Immediately hold right and walk right, then go down the pit in the next screen. Immediately hold right again to land on the right ledge. B. Go right and kill the Red Knight. Fight off the natives until you see a moving platform, get on and at the top, jump. C. Right after you jump, hold right to land on the block. Keep jumping from block to block as they go up. (Without the Ceramic Boots or Legendary Boots, this will be near impossible!). Keep jumping back and forth for about 3-4 screens. You'll reach the top. *If you fall off in part C before reaching the top, you'll fall back down with the blue natives. Walk left and to the sunken area where the Red Knight is. Kill him again and go back right. The platform will have re-appeared. At the top, go left, then take the upper path. Go left, until the next screen. The screen with the 2 plants, drop down the pit. Fall past the first ledge, but land on the second. Go right, keep going right, make sure to kill all the crabs- they drop good stuff. Fall all the way down the pit. Go left, and beat the Red Knight for a piece of Heavy Body Armor! Keep going left into the next screen, there will be the door for the final Boss! Final Boss - Dragon (If you don't have at least the Heavy Armor, this fight is very hard.) The Dragon has two forms, Green and Mecha. Both will do the same thing, shoot fireballs directly at you, sometimes while jumping. You can block the fireballs, but they will burn on the ground for a second and hurt you after the block. If you have the Ruby, the power of it will activate on the first hit. Fireball Magic works decently here, as you can hit the Dragon directly, but I don't think it does much damage. Congratulations! You saved MonsterLand! Sit back and watch the ending which i'm sure will be underwhelming. Go pick up Wonderboy 3: Dragon's Curse for the sequel, which is 10x better. |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [13] Q & A ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| Q: Some of the Items you list for sale at the store, what gives? A: Depending on the same types of armor you purchase in attain, the store may stock different items. The items offered in the Mystery Store is very random. Q: What is up with the Sphinx questions? A: The sphinx only asks one question per encounter, and i'm not sure what made him choose his questions. I restarted from different points many times to get him to get all the answers, but it wasn't enough. Q: Why should I spend money on X ? A: This game is very stingy on hearts and gold. I try to point towards what should be bought, but its not an exact science. |||------------------------------------------------||| ||| [14] Contact ||| |||------------------------------------------------||| Include the name of the guide in the subject line.
