    Anybody else got one yet?  This game seems pretty good so far.  Very
    much like Dragon Warrior I.

    Santa bought mine, but won't tell me where it's hidden.  I'll get it
    Christmas Eve with the rest of my gifts.

    Okay it's time we start doing justice to this game. I had to wait for
    Xmas so my son could open it up and I've been playing it ever since.
    I've got my primary character at level 20/21 and my prince (Numor) is
    around 17 and my princess (Ollisa) is around 12.
    
    I've gotten two crests and assorted weapons and such.
    
    I would like to say that if you are an Ultima fan or a Dragon Warrior I
    fan then you'll enjoy this game. It is DEEP.
    
    Here's a question. Has anyone purchased the Jailer's Key yet? I know
    where to buy it it's just that I don't know what type of money our
    friend is looking for.
    
    Has anyone notice the "wrapping effect" of the screen? That is, if I am
    at the top of the map and keep going up (in my ship of course) sooner
    that you can say Alfegard you're at the bottom.
    
    How are you coming along with this game Eric?
    
    Mike

    Re .3:
    
    > How are you coming along with this game Eric?
    
    I'm done, surprisingly.  Usually I get a game and lots of people pass
    me because I play it a bit and then play other games before coming back
    to it.  But this time I played Dragon Warrior II all the way through,
    over the vacation.  It took a while.
    
    To buy the Jailor's Key, you need:
    
    2000 pieces of gold.

    Yeah...I went home after putting that question in and decided to go for
    it every 1K I earned.
    
    I'm at level 23 for my prime character right now and have gotten three
    of the crests so far.
    
    I'm having a problem finding the crest in that tower which is in the
    middle of the water.
    
    High high up in levels did you end up going before you ended the game?

    Around 30 -- 31, I think.

    Well I'm around level 23.
    
    I just found the Watergate.
    
    Friday night I arranged to have the FLying Water Cloth made but he
    hasn't finished it yet.
    
    Mike

    Okay two questions:
    
          1. I've got the moon fragment but am not sure where I am to go to     
             use it.
    
          2. Where can I find the Eye of Malroth?
    
    Also, as you look at the map there is a small island on the eastern
    portion which has a cave on it. The water is so shallow I cannot get
    my ship close enough to get onto the island. I've tried many things,
    including the magic transporter holes but cannot seem to get there.
    
    I'm stumped.

    Re .8:
    
    (I can't answer 2 from memory; if somebody else does not answer it,
    I'll check my notes.)
    
    >       1. I've got the moon fragment but am not sure where I am to go to
    >         use it.

    When the moon fragment is held high (used), the waters are raised for
    you.
    
    Reefs are dangerous because a ship that runs over them can have its
    bottom destroyed.
    
    Every ship has a certain draft, a depth of water its bottom goes to.
    
    At high tide, there is more water over a reef; the reef is further down
    from the surface.
    
    There's a place surrounded by reefs that you cannot reach normally.
    
    It is an island (far) south of the castle the game starts at and east
    of that continent Hamlin is on.

    Eric,
    
    Yep. Last night I had already figured it out. Best part about that cave
    is the ton of experience points you accumulate with each encounter.
    
    Getting closer.
    
    Mike

    I give up ...... I've looked all through the cave to Rhone, I
    think and can not find the Thunder Sword.  Can someone help
    please.
    
    Thanx,
    Greg

    Re .11:
    
    I think that cave has a number of hidden rooms which are accessible
    only by falling through traps.  In any room which are dead ends (the
    only exit is the way you came in), walk around all the squares to see
    if you fall into another room.
    
    If you can't find it this way (or it takes too long), enter another
    note -- I've got the maps and can look up where the traps are.

    Okay....got the five crests and the Charm of Rubiss. Onward and upward.
    
    Mike

    Thanx to .12
    
    Found the sword, in the last place I looked of course.
    Finish the game last night, high levels since I spent
    so much time trying to find the Thunder Sword.
    
    Thanx again,
    
    Greg

    Greg,
    
    How high up on the levels were you? I'm still going strong and
    approaching level 30 on all of them.
    
    Mike_who_is_trying_to_figure_out_what_to_do_with_the_charm_of_Rubiss

    My levels were ... 36,35,31  I'm sure I didn't need to be quite that
    high but I did alot of searching.  Even then it was frustrating to
    get where I needed.  I was so pissed last night about the P.O.W.'s
    I took it out on the game and demolished this guy.
    
    good luck,
    
    Greg  

    For the last few nights I've been wandering around in the cave which I
    believe leads to Rhone.
    
    Am I right in assuming I need to go through this cave?
    
    Boy those green dragons are tough!
    
    Mike, Numor, and Ollisa
    
    P.S. I'm curious as to the names others have seen pop up on the screen.

    Re .17:
    
    Yes, you need to go through the cave.  In fact, you probably need to
    search around in the cave for several items.  I recommend ordering the
    map that's offered in the back of the instruction booklet.  (You can
    photocopy the form if you don't want to cut up the booklet.)

    Hmm,
    
    Let me guess. Are there towns or castles which appear to be what they 
    aren't and that if you use a certain item than they appear for what
    they truly are?
    
    I don't think it's a spoiler if I'm correct....just a hunch.

	Would appreciate some help.  I have been wondering around the

We've already been to the Town-cum-Castle, even spoke to the big
Hargon himself (and Malroth, too, for that matter, if we are to
believe everything we see...), but would like our next visit to be,
um, less deadly.  ;-)

I tried the "dead ends in the maze" idea, but haven't been successful
as of yet. Have tried searching about 1/8 of the area between the Mo'lith
and the "town", but this could take a WHILE.  Repel just doesn't seem as
effective over there...  

But we're gettin' good EPs, and we have 4 minks as a "bank".  What on
earth we'll do with it is beyond me!  (Dragon's Bane all around?? ;-))

Can someone help me find Rhone?  I have been wandering around the cave until

    How much money did you pay to get this game?

I think mine was $54.95 at Kay-Bee toys in Burlington, MA.

    WHERE_THE_HELL_(sorry)_IS_ERDRICK'S_ARMOR?!!!

PLEASE - How do I get from the cave to Rhone to the road to Hargon's

    The Cave to Rhone doesn't lead the Hargon's Castle; a warp in Beran
    does.

Thanks you!!!!!!!..........I'll go back to playing this tonight.

    
    I found a way to get over 60,000 gold in about 5 minutes...
    
    go to the castle you start the game in after you have the gold
    and the jailor keys. Go down the stairs in the upper right corner
    and defeat the clown in the cell guarded by barriers. When (and if)
    you kill him you should receive the staff of thunder which has a 
    great resale value (over 19k). Sell the staff, speak with the king
    and save the game answering NO to continue playing, hit reset button
    and begin the process all over again until you sell the staff 3 times.
    You can only hold up to 65536 in gold (the typical binary maximum)
    This was the ONLY way I could get enough gold for the mink coat
    since my team had a way of spending large amounts on revivals!
    
    rgds,
    John
    

	Is there more that one warp in Beran?  The only one I can find
	just leads me to the valley with the cave.

    I think you need to get through the Cave to Rhone to get to Hargon's
    castle. It's not easy...you should make a map.

    Okay gang....I'm real close to finishing this one (will be the third
    game in three weeks...first Final Fantasy...then Star Tropics...). I am
    in Maidenhall...actually Hargon's castle if you do the right thing. I
    cannot figure out how to advance from that first floor. I've looked and
    tried everywhere...using up stepguard spells...but no success.
    
    I know I need to use an item and I know what that item is so I won't
    reveal it here. I just need to know where to use that item. Also, it's
    not the item I used to "clear my vision" of Maidenhall but the other 
    item.
    
    Can anyone help?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mike

	Thanks.  I did make a map and I thought that I had stepped on every
	square, pushed on every wall and used the two items in every room
	in the cave - but I have obviously missed a very essential step.
	I would appreciate some pointers on where I went wrong.

	Can anyone help?	Thanks.......Sue

    <spoiler>
    
    Erdricks armor can be found in a treasure chest in the cave leading
    to Rhone. If you look on the dungeon map, you take stairs 3,6,9 then
    go in a south-east direction stair stairs 14(?) and up twice.

    Does anyone know how to unequip the Sword of Destruction? It is
    supposed to be the most powerful sword yet it holds a curse that

    It didn't help me at all when I came across Malroth the other day.
    
    Mike_who_is_ever_so_close_to_finishing_DWII

    I realized I had to send away for the maps right after I entered the
    reply.  You unequip the Sword of Destruction by going to
    
    see a guy in Tantegel Castle (on the shores of sunny Alefgard).  He
    will uncurse you.

    I must have been one of the lucky ones who received my maps inside the
    game cartridge box.  Actually I got two different papers, one with a
    large map of the whole area and some hints, and the second with
    information on the enemies, different equipment you can obtain, more
    clues and detailed maps of each cave, dungeon, castle etc.
    
    Nance (who finally made it through the Cave to Rhone now to Hargon)

    When I sent away for the map I also received a small colored booklet,
    similar, but not as thick, as the one packed in the Final Fantasy game
    box.
    
    Mike

    I have a couple of questions.
    
    1- What should I have in a way of charms to protect my group. I have
    got the dragons bane thing. I have seen several people mention some
    mink thing. What does this do???
    
    2- What weapons and armor are the best and who can hold what. I have
    All of edricks stuff ecept his armor.

    The dragon's bane, when equipped, will reduce the damage inflicted when
    an enemy chants a fire spell by 10-20 HP.  The mink (I just bought it
    today) serves as armor.
    
    Benjamin

    At what level is the spell 'CHANCE' acquired, what does it do, and who
    acquires it (i.e. Prince of Cannock or Princess of Moonbroke)?
    
    Benjamin

    I think the level is either 23 or 25.  The Princess (mine is PETA) is
    the one who will receive it.  The spell is just what it says "CHANCE".
    The two times I used it - 1. Increase & 2. Healmore.  Needless to say
    I haven't been using it since.  I did not need Healmore when I got that
    and ended up losing more magic points then if I had used the regular
    Healmore spell.
    
    Nance (Back inside the Cave to Rhone)
    

    Ben (and everyone),
    
    I try not to use chance because what if it decides to use the
    "sacrifice" spell?
    
    And it's true..."chance" may use up quite a few magic points and that
    Wizard's Ring is not as good as the game would lead you to believe.

    Hey Ben...say hi to your father for me.

    Way south od Midenhall there is a horeshoe shaped island north of
    Zahan.
    It is a great place to get experience because you bump into eight metal
    slime near the place you get off the ship. The problem is only my lead
    character can kill them. My others can't hurt them with weapons or
    spells. I haven't got sacrifice so that might work. Anyway just killing
    four give 919 experience. All eight would be about 20. Has anyone been
    able to come up with a strategy for beating metal creatures,????

    Just keep the lead character (mine's Dinidan) up and fighting.  Ifd the
    slimes don't put him to SLEEP, he should be able to kill one Metal
    Slime each round and get 460 or 689 Experience.  I've never killed more
    than five at a time (five give 1,148 Exp.).  This should work if your
    lead character is >=Level 17 and has Erdrick's Sword or the Dragon
    Slayer or the Thunder Sword.

    The Thunder sword is also in the cave. To find it you must fall down
    the pit trap located in the south-west corner of the very large room
    with one set of stairs in the north-east.
    
    To get throw the cave is a bit tricky. One wrong turn sends you several
    sections back to where you stared. I'm going on memory here but I
    believe you want to get to the room with alot of pit traps and columns
    and go north all the way then east to the stairs going up. When (if?)
    you make it that far you want to go east to T section, east again, lower
    eastward passage, north, take west northern passage at the fork, go east
    at the last T section and up the stairs.
    
    If you make it to Rhone head strait for the monolith and SAVE! I did
    not make it one time and boy did I scream. Good luck.
    
    Also, has anyone ever received the Dragon's Potion for killing a
    metal babble? I diced up several dozen with no luck. I was able to
    solve the game but I still wanted to see that potion do it's stuff.

    Thanks gretly for your help and I have got the Dragons Potion. I
    haven't used it yet because I think I might want to use it later on in
    the game.
    
    /mike
    

    If you use CHANCE enough times you do say several new spells.
    One of them is a super HEAL. All the people in your party are each
    healed with this spell. Also it chants a spell of confusion. This makes
    one enemy attack other enemies. And the third spell is a great
    sorcerors call. This just makes all the enemys run away. In all the
    spell of CHANCE is still not worth all the magic points but if your
    playing for fun or experience it isn't all that bad. Another thing-
    CHANCE will not ever pick SACRIFICE for a spell.
    
    PS- Would anyone like to let me have their map that they sent away for
    because I am really stuck in the cave of rhone and all the traps are
    driving me up the wall. I just can't seem to find my way out into rhone. 
    
    I will pay a reasonable price lets say about $4.

    price for it. Thanks 

    I do not seem to be able to get the Dew's Yarn twice (i.e. I already
    got it and got the Water Flying Cloth, but the tip book (the one you
    send away for from the back of the instruction booklet) said you can
    get it twice), but I was able to get the Magic Loom twice.  However, I
    need to recollect the Dew's Yarn, too before I can get another Water
    Flying Cloth.  I have searched every patch of land on the third floor
    of Dragon's Horn North, even the stairs, but with no luck.  Any help
    would be appreciated.  Thanx.

    Re .84:
    
    Finding the Dew's Yarn is somewhat random; you have to keep moving
    around until you get it.  Note that you need to get a Water Flying
    Cloth made from the first Dew's Yarn before you can get the second.

    Re .85:
    
    Do you mean that once you have the Water Flying Cloth (which I do),
    sometimes the Dew's Yarn is there and sometimes it isn't?
    
    Benjamin

    Re .86:
    
    I don't think the Dew's Yarn is actually ever "there" until you have
    actually found it.  That is, it is not the case that the Dew's Yarn is
    assigned some location and just sits there until you find it.  Rather,
    I think that when you are walking around on the correct floor of the
    tower, then every time you take a step and search, the game gives you a
    one out of some number chance of finding the Yarn.  So you have to keep
    moving until you find it.  You might find it right away, or you might
    cover every square several times before you find it.

    Re:
    
    Dews yarn - do yourself a favor and don't bother trying to get a second
    water flying cloak.  Buy the mink coat for your princess & let your
    prince wear the 1st cloak.  I wasted 2 nights worth of playing looking
    for the Dew's yarn a second time - never was able to get it!  Finished
    the game without it.

    he WASTES me. I mean really creams me. My lead character is at level
    39. What is a strategy for beating malroth??

I've managed to get into the cave I believe the Charm of Rubiss is in (the one
you need the moon crest to get into)...

I couldn't find anything within the immediate cave, except at the lowest level
I could see another section I could not gain access to.  I'm assuming that 
there is some "trick" one needs to employ to get there.  I've tried searching
in a number of places, but so far have not had any luck.  Rather than spend a
LOT of time searching the entire place and not succeeding, I post a couple of
questions (hoping for minimal spoilers):

	o	is there indeed a way to get into that other section?
	o	is searching the answer?
	o	could it be an item I need?
	o	is this simple a cruel ruse?

    Does this have a battery/password feature?
    
    

its battery, not password...

    The Charm of Rubiss is located...
    
    on a one-block island south of Midenhall and north of Osterfair.  Once
    in the monolith, descend to the bottom, search all squares, and, if you
    have all five crests, the Charm of Rubiss will be revealed to you.

Having spent many days stumped in Rhone (if you get there I'm sure you'll know
what I'm talking about), I finally got in to see the big guy.  How did I do
it?  My son called the Nintendo help line!

Based on their answer I felt compelled to write this note and tell people that
the hints that came with the game LIED!!!

There is a hint that says you need an item that you already have since you made
it this far.  Since lots of items could have been sold or thrown away, there
are really only 2 one must have to have gotten to Rhone.  Well that just ain't
so.

You need either the jailer's key or the open spell...

    I must be missing something, because everyone in this note is a lot
    farther than I have been able to get.  I choose to attribute it to the
    lack of a map...
    
    
    
    I have only 1 key (silver) and am stuck finding the princess.  I have
    been to the burned castle and been told to find a mirror and have been
    to the tower close by and gotten the cape that helps me when I jump.
    
    But I cannot find the princess, and I also think I should have the gold
    key by now.  Obviously, without the princess I cannot get into the
    next section of the game since the bridge keeper will not let me pass
    without saving her.
    
    Any help?

    Look for the Mirror of RA:
    
    East (right) of the burnt castle (Moonbroke), you will find four
    bridges (they should all be on the screen).  Search the swamp.  Then,
    visit a friendly dog in Hamlin, and, while facing it, use the Mirror. 
    You can't get the gold key w/out a ship, which is obtainable in
    Lianport.

    I have 2 of the crests (moon and I think star) and am getting set to
    enter the road to Rhone.  Should I have more already?
    
    
    I am aware that the life crest is inside the cave, so I am not worried
    about it.  It is the others I am wondering if I should already have.

    Brian,
    
    I believe my son had all 5 crests and had turned them into the special
    thing you need in Rhone.  I'll double check with him tonight and get
    back to you.
    
    Nance (who is stuck in the Great Pyramid in Crystalis)

    I did some more hunting around and re-reading clues from townspeople
    and have now found all crests with the exception of the water crest. 
    From clues I have read I believe that
    
    
    I will need the Echoing Flute (which I have) and I need to be looking
    in a tower or monolith somewhere.  But I have looked quite a bit
    through towers and monoliths with no success.  Is it possible I am
    looking in the wrong tower, or that my character needs to blow the
    flute?  Right now, Lars is doing it.
    
    Hints and leads appreciated...

    Have you found any doors in Hamlin??

    I rented the game this weekend but could never find the gold key.
    I was able to get all over the game but couldn't enter the gates.
    I found the town on the island, saw the dog move, searched all over,
    and gave it up.  I had to return the game but would like to rent it
    again this weekend.
    
    I know it has to be something simple since nobody in the 100 replys
    to this note had this problem.
    
    
    If I can't get any help I will have to play Final Fantasy II for the 
    third time.

    Try talking to a dog in Zahan.

    Thanks for the help.  I'm stuck looking for the moon fragemnt, the sun
    and the town of Tuhn.  I'd keep trying but since it is a rental if I
    get stuck or too long it costs too much to keep.  Any explicit help
    would be appreciated.

    Having a little trouble with the sword of destruction.  
    
    
    I have obtained my third (no I'm not kidding).  I tried to figure out
    to uncurse it, and remembered the Wiz at the castle (forgot it's name).
    But the Wiz just says it to hard to uncurse.  So I tried the Healer,
    and he said it was uncursed.  By the time I notice that the sword was
    gone, I had already saved once.  So, when I got the second sword, I 
    paid closer attention, and sure enough, it was the uncursing that
    removed the sword.  So, here I sit with my third sword.  Tried the Wiz
    multiple times.  Tried without equiping the sword (tells me to come
    back when I'm cursed).  Tried with the sword equip'd (tells me that he
    has not the skill).  Tried "Using" the sword when facing the guy. Tried 
    uncursing after using the sword successfully in battle, no change.  So 
    then I tried the notesfile, which told me to see this guy.
    
    What am I doing wrong?  Do I have to be more experianced?  Do you have
    to start with easier curses?  Do you need the Wizard's Ring, or some
    other dependancy?  If you have uncursed the sword of destruction, tell
    me what you did (using little words :).
    
    BTW, what is the other guy in the castle (who seems to bless you) all
    about?
