This makes it an unwieldy weapon, as you also cannot have more than two in the air at once. It doesn't have the explosive property of the Torch. However, since you cannot throw more than two torches at a time, you may be forced to wait for the eruptions to end if both torches have hit the ground before you can throw another torch and defend yourself.Īxe (aka Hand-ax): The Axe is similar to the Torch it travels in a small arc when thrown. If and when it hits the ground (and not something else, such as a tombstone), it lights the ground on fire, creating a barrier that will kill most monsters that walk into it. Torch (aka Flame): The Torch can be very useful in some situations, and quite the opposite in others. However, the Dagger is much faster, allowing Arthur to throw many more of them over a period of time. In addition, only two may be in the air at once.ĭagger (aka Knife, Sword): The Dagger is very much like the Lance, in that it travels straight across and can only be interrupted by hitting an enemy. In the Famicom/NES-based versions of the game, the Dragon is invulnerable to the Lance. Lances travel straight across at a moderate speed, and are only interrupted by enemies. Lance (aka Spear): The Lance is Arthur's default weapon at the beginning of the game. If you do not want Arthur to lose his current weapon in favor of another, make sure that you jump over the new weapon. Arthur must walk across it to pick it up. When a monster drops a weapon, it falls to the floor. 1-2 Players: Press either button to begin a one or two player game.Īs Arthur fights against Astaroth's minions, they will occasionally drop new weapons for Arthur to pick up.Note that a Jump in this game is a 100% commitment there is no reversing or manipulating a mid-air jump. Use in conjunction with left or right to make Arthur jump in a particular direction. Jump: Press the jump button to make Arthur leap into the air.Rapidly tap the direction you are facing, while standing, in tandem with the fire button to increase your rate of fire. Press fire while crouching to throw a weapon low to the ground. You can place up to either two or three instances of your weapon on-screen at once, depending on which you have equipped. Fire: Press the fire button to shoot your weapon.Be aware of ladders if you choose the latter option. To release crouch, you must either allow the controller to come to a neutral position, or press up to cancel it. However, crouching and immediately pressing left or right will lock Arthur in the crouching position.

In the Famicom/NES-based versions of the game, there is no recovery to crouching. Use up or down to instruct Arthur to climb ladders. There is a delayed recovery to crouching, which can be canceled by tapping up. Hold the controller down to make Arthur crouch underneath high attacks. You can make him run to the left or to the right by pushing the control in either direction.

Near the leader’s house, next to houses ( not much, usually 4 spawn ) Near boulders and trees ( not a lot, probably just 5 at most ) Inside backyards, near trees, near rocks ( not recommended, village’s too big but there’s quite a number of trinkets ) Near the small house along the way, there’s one on the stone pillar On the crops, inside houses, next to bushes, around buildings


In the backyards, inside fences, next to trees, under planks, usually inside the fences, on top of boxes Rooms, on top of the book shelf, on the table Spawn Locations Hayakawa village: In the inn: Ores are not Trinkets, and Trinkets are not ores, so when you sell your trinkets the ores will be untouched, and vice versa. These trinkets have only one variety, and will always sell for their fixed price. There are also special trinkets, such as the Gold Crown, and the Ancient Coin. If we compare a Bronze Jar to a Gold Jar, the gold jar can be sold for 4x the amount of what the Bronze Jar can. Trinkets have different qualities, scaling from the lowest quality Rust to the highest quality Gold. There are various items that spawn around the world for players to collect and sell, these items are called trinkets.Īfter you have collected some trinkets and are ready to sell them, you can bring them to the merchant in either Okuyia Village or Hayakawa Village, where he will exchange your trinkets for money.
