    Does it have some sort of password feature?

    Yes, it's like Faxanadu - starts you back at the last "healing place"
    that you've visited with all the items that you've found thus far.
    However, if you die inside a cave or a castle, any item found in that
    cave on that trip goes back to its original place - you have to go and
    get it again. 

    This game is great. You have a huge variety of swords, shields,items
    and magic. The graphics are tremendous. You have spells that can send
    lighting through the sky or turn yourself into a monster. There are so
    many things to explore. I have nine swords 10 shields and you have to
    find which one works best against the monsters. I have almost solved
    it. I already killed kiel (sp) and tried to fight Bavorada (sp) but she
    is difficult.
    

    My son is a new Willow fan and he has a question:  How can Willow get
    into cottages that don't have paths leading into them?  Is it even
    possible to get into these cottages?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Val (and Lee)

    My son loves WILLOW but would like to get some hints on some things.
    
    1) He lost the CREST to General Kiel and can't get it back ... How can
       he get it back ?
    
    2) How do you get the key to Kiel's Castle ?
    
    3) How do you kill General Kiel ?
    
    Thanks in advance ...
    

    re: .4
    
    Huts that have no path access are not used (just visual).
    
    re: .5
    
    1) Losing the CREST must mean that Willow is dead.  CONTINUE (or the
    password you receive) should put you outside Bavmorda's castle with the
    crest back in your possession.  You have to defeat Kiel to get to
    Bavmorda.
    
    2) I thought you just met Kiel?  The location of any keys (and most
    anything else) required in this  game can be discovered by talking with
    the characters that you meet.
    
    3) Practice and Persistence.

    I'm surprised there's been so little activity in this note!
    I think this is a fantastic game!  Very similar to Zelda but
    not as difficult (which I appreciate).
    
    If there's anyone out there that's finished this game, I could
    use some general tips.  I've reached the cursed bridge before
    the evil queen's castle and can't cross it.  Obviously I don't
    have the item I need.  What I'd like to know is if anyone has a
    list of the shields, swords, items and magic that one should have
    upon reaching this point.  Also, any ideas of how many things I
    should be looking for in the mountains in this area would be
    appreciated.  I've found about 3 so far (I believe).  Is it 
    necessary to have all the "slots" full for each (magic, items etc.)?
    
    Any information would be appreciated.
    
    
    Thx
    Bob

    If anyone has finished this game, how long did it take and how
    do you rate it? 
    
    SLAM

    
    I have the LONG SWORD,BATTLE SWORD, FLAME SWORD AND THE DEVILS EYE
    SWORD, DRAGON SCALE SWORD.
    
    I have the Fire Majic the Majical Stick an the Healing Mace.
    
    And i have various items.
    
    
    These are my Questions.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Where do the Brownies go after you get the Bracelet?
    
    Wher does madmartigan go when you free him.
    
    And what do you do at lake Cheef. I search through the crossroads at
    seem to go in circles. I get to a place where you go under water but
    the first 10 steps and I die. Do you need an item to pass this. I have
    180 hit points and 160 magic.

    Re: .9
    
    In answer to some  of your questions:
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I haven't seen the brownies again.  I believe they were there as a
    sort of trick...to make you think you needed the sphere, which the
    dragon won't give you.
    
    Madgarten (or whatever) gives you some important information once you
    free him and run into him again at the tavern.  He'll answer your
    question about getting thru the water.
    
    
    
    Bob

    How long it takes to finish depends alot on your style of play,
    but we finished it by playing "family style" (everybody pitching in)
    over a week or two.  You can finish faster if you're adept at mapping -
    that way you don't waste alot of time going back over the same places,
    or missing a corridor that contains something you need later on.  Just
    explore every room, cave, corridor, house, etc. and you'll finish it.
    It's a good idea to periodically stop and pick up a new password so
    that you can easily return to a point in the game where you may have
    missed something. 
    
    In general, the characters you meet have some value - either an item or
    a clue or magic.  Once past them, a few show up later, but many don't.
    I found that to be part of the game's charm - you never know who you're
    going to run into again.  Each and every item seems to be necessary to get
    past at least one obstacle, but you can skip a sword, shield or magic
    spell and still finish the game.  If you reach an impasse, you probably
    need to go back and find a clue or an object that will help you. 
    (surviving the lake crossing, or crossing the bridge are good examples)
    
    By the way, the ending is one of the best I've seen.  It's done like
    movie credits, where all the previous scenes from the game are recapped
    behind the credits which flash in front.  Some of the names they use
    are hilarious.  We keep going back to defeat Bavmorda just so we can
    watch the ending again.

    I am stuck in trying to defeat a 'boss' - it is in the cave system
    after fin raziel, and looks like a pig with spines. I am currently at
    level 14, and can damage him about 75% with the battle sword (the more
    powerful swords I have don't seem to do as well). For those of you who
    have beaten this guy, what level were you - I don't relish building up
    23000+ points to get to level 15, unless it's really necessary. On the
    other hand, I'm going noplace this way and my frustration is rising
    faster than my points go down trying to kill this thing! (Five minutes
    to get to it, and 20 seconds to die ........). Any spoilers or comments
    will by most appreciated
    

    Rich....
    
    I'm currently at level 13 (I think, around 39K) and I believe I 
    have already taken care of the "boss" you're talking about.  I'm
    in the evil castle with one obstacle before I take out the queen!!
    
    
    Anyway......
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I don't exactly recall the "pig with spines", but does it shoot
    things at you?  What I found on thoses "bosses" that shoot is
    that you hold your attack while they shoot, letting your shield
    deflect the "bullets".  Then you have to hit 'em between shots.
    
    Also, do you have the regular controllers or something like the
    Advantage?  It will take quite a bit longer with the regular
    controller....I have the advantage and use "auto" for my sword
    which is a LOT easier.
    
    If you're looking for more info send mail.
    
    
    Bob

    Thanks for the quick reply - I tried it last nite and it worked! I
    think that one was not as tough as I made it on myself. Also I noticed
    that by playing with the turbo rate on my advantage, I was able to get
    a faster 'fire rate' than I had been getting - I always just cranked it
    to full on, but there is a point (on mine) at just below .5 actually
    gives you a faster action - I suppose that the higher rate generates
    too much interrupt service, and slows the game down.) Now if I could
    just get through that next maze ..........
    Rich

    Stumped again - since this may be a spoiler depending on where you are
    in the game - if you have not collected a red and blue crystal, don't
    read on
    
    
    I have found my way to a long bridge which I can't get on. First
    question is a bit before this. There is a place by a stream where there
    are lots of little 'man hole covers'. Whenever I cross them, they start
    to vibrate and just beat the H*LL out of me. I perservered, and got
    across, but it cost a lot of magic points to renew my life. Is there a
    magic item that (I am missing) would help here? Secondly, just before
    the bridge in question is a cave. A man in the casve says that the
    bridge is cursed and no one can get to ____ ____ (forget the name of
    the kingdom - two short words). He is right, as far as I can see - I
    can't get on the bridge. If I take the parellel path which runs just
    south of it, I get to a dead end with another cave that just seems to
    take me back where I was. I must need some magic or item that I don't
    have - or a fresh idea - any help in sight would be appreciated!!

    I haven't found anything that helps with those "manhole covers".  You
    just have to walk thru 'em and use up your MP.
    
    Is the cave with the old man the red-colored one?  Anyway....in the red
    cave system in that area you'll find something that will enable you to
    cross the bridge.  I had to go back and look for it myself as I figured
    I had missed something.  
    
    Send mail if you need more info.
    
    
    Bob

    Spoiler re: the "manhole covers"
    At some point you get a magic spell that makes you much less
    threatening to the creatures - so they don't attack you.  But you can
    win the game without it.

    Re: .17
    
    Any idea which one and from where?  I missed that one somewhere
    and probably don't really need it now anyway....but I'm still

    Any pointers on killing the final enemy? The witch......
    
    SLAM
    

    Ditto to .19.....
    
    I also can't make a dent in the evil queen.  What's the item needed
    to affect her??
    
    
    HELP!!
    
    
    Bob

    I'll go one better - I got to Nockmaar, mapped the first and second
    floors, (and an empty tunnel in the basement) - and found NOONE of
    significance. I'm obviously missing something major - HELP!!!! 

    Re: .19 & .20
    The item to kill the Witch is...
    
    
    the cane (the sword doesn't work in this first round with her).

    Re: .21
    So, I take it you haven't been to the third floor yet? (Want
    directions?)
    /chuck

    Re: .22
    
    And I thought I'd tried that.  Normally, when doing battle with one
    of the major bad guys, you can't use any magic....is this the
    exception?
    
    Also....
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Am I to assume you have to kill her twice????
    
    
    
    Thx
    Bob

    Re: .24
    Yes, it's the exception. And, regarding the number of times you have to
    kill her (possible spoiler follows)...
    
    once you off her with the cane get your sword ready for the second
    and final round.

    Since I've finished the game, I'm left with this final question:
    Did anyone find a use for the Bombard magic (this is the one that gyrates
    the screen like crazy)?
    /chuck

    Re: .26
    
    Well, I haven't finished but I didn't find a use for most of
    the magic.  There's obviously more than one way to make it thru
    certain parts of the game.
    
    Still a great game though!
    
    
    Bob

    Yes please - directions to the third floor would be great - I'm kind of
    tired of enlessly cirlcing the first two.
    

    Re: .28
    Here's how to get to the third floor:
    
    Starting from the entrace of Nockmaar. Go inside and go to the far
    right room (that is, keep going to the right until you can't go any
    further); then, go down until you can't go down any further. Go one
    room to the left; one room up; and finally, one room to the left again.
    Go in the door inside this room, and walk up to the second floor.
    
    When you come out of the second floor, go up until you can't go up any
    more, then go right to the next room, go into the door in that room up
    to the third floor

                        HELP!!!
    I am a level 12 with the long,battle,flame,dragon,devel's eye swords and
    the wooden,small,gold,dragon shields. I just obtained the Spirit Crest.
    What do I do know????

    The nice thing about this game is that places you've been, or people
    you've talked to before will be different after you've attained
    something special.  
    
    mild spoiler:
    Remember the clues and advice you've been given before, and go back and
    revisit what seemed to be an impassable obstacle.
    
    On to Bavmorda's castle!
    

    In the booklet that comes with the game it says you can change fin
    razile back when you're at level 13, so that's one thing to work
    toward.  Another is after the form-feed-
    
    Do you have the dragon's scales (this is an item, not magic)? If so,
    there's someone you want to go back and visit in Nelwyn.

    I just found the bridge to Tir Asleen, but can't get across.  What am I

    back and explore the cave system you came through.
    
    
    Bob

    
    Would somebody please give me a hint on finding that last key? I 
    remember meeting somebody in one of the castles that said to get the
    key from the old women but when I went back to see her (the one on the
    cliff),she was gone.. Last night I went on a search mission and
    couldn't find her anywhere. I obviously am missing something.. Anybody
    have a hint??
    
    Thanks,
    Steve
    

Drawing from memory, the location of the key is behind this form feed:

When you stand in front of Tir Asleen, to your RIGHT (and then down) 
is the entrance to the cave and the mountain.  But, to your LEFT 
(and then down, and to the right again), is a house with the door 
closed. Before conquering Tir Asleen, the house was empty (I think 
it was the only door that would open if you went up to it). But 
*now* if you go up to it, I think that's where the old woman is...
with the key.

For the sake of others, better confirm this after you try it, 'cause 
it's been a while now.
/chuck

    re .-1,.-2
    this is correct, but you have to have satisfied some other conditions
    for the woman to give you the key. 
    regards,
    rich

    
    re: last two
    
    Thanks for the tip which is indeed correct..I completely forgot about
    that house being there after I first vistited it..I knew I had to have
    missed something..Thanks again...

    Can anybody tell me where to find the boots,so I can walk across the
    bridge?

    <spoiler re:-1>
    Search the caves again.  

    
    I have a question about the rocky maze NW of the cursed bridge.  The
    question follows the form-feed.
    
    There is a cottage that is a healing place in this area.  Just north of
    the cottage there is a treasure chest blocking access to a cave.  There
    is also a staircase just to the right of the cave entrance.  I have
    searched and mapped all of this area and cannot find a way to get to
    the cave.  Any clues??  Should I use magic?  If so, just say that and
    I'll try to figure out which to use.  I have a feeling there is
    something important either in that cave or in the area accessible by
    the staircase.
    
    Appreciate any hints.
    
    Thanks,
    Mary
    

Mary,

   Hint about the cave and staircase after the FF.



    Don't bother with it yet.  I wasted quite a bit of time trying to
  figure out how to get there myself.  Finally, frustration set in and
  I went on further in the game. Lo and behold I then found myself 
  coming out of the cave at which time you can take to the stairs.

    The General .... questions after form feed.
    
    Well, I've reached General Kael finally!  He's brutal....any tips for
    doing him in?  I've tried most of my magic spells.  As usual when
    fighting a major monster, none seem to do anything.
    
    I'm using the wing sword because even though the devil-eye is stronger,
    it never seems to inflict any damage.  Anyway I get one hit in on the
    General with my sword and he's all over me like ants at a picnic. 
    
    Minor spoilers welcome!  

 Hints for battling the General Kael after <ff>



    Remember the sword fights in all those great old movies with Fairbanks
  and Flynn?  A technique that can be used is attack and retreat, attack
  and retreat.  If that doesn't help...


    Take him on head on.  March straight up the screen and attack once.
  Retreat(don't go to either side, go back straight), wait and dodge his
  attack and wait for him to tire.  Repeat this until he succumbs. I don't
  think it matters what kind of sword you use, just as long it one of the
  more powerful ones, you picked up late in the game.

   Good luck.

-rick
    

    another technique .....
    
    get beside him and wail away - I killed him without losing any points
    at all! (I have an NES advantage controller - it helps with the turbo)
    I just went to his side, turned towards him and started to stick it to
    him. He just sort of oscillated, and in a few seconds it was over 
    

    Could somebody give a list of all the swords and shields.

    Help needed!
    
    I finally killed the General and went on to find Bavmorda (or the
    witch), whatever.  I was unsuccessful the first time in killing the
    witch with the cane.
    
    When I came back to life, I was outside of Nockmaar (sp?).  In trying
    to get back to the last castle, I ran into the General AGAIN!! What
    gives?  Do I have to KILL him each time I go through?  All the other
    bad guy never came back after I defeated them.
    
    Am I doing something wrong???

    Re: .47
    
    I believe you have to kill that sucker and go back to revitalize,
    which should also register the fact that you killed him.  Then go
    after Bavmorda.  I made the same mistake and had to kill him twice
    as well.
    
    
    Bob

    Actually, the same rule applies throughout the game.  If you die inside
    a castle, or a cave, most everything is returned to its original place
    as it was when you entered.  If you want to keep a treasure, or keep a
    dead bad guy from reappearing, simply step outside into the fresh air
    and sunshine, then go back in and battle the next foe.
    

    Thanx to the last 2 responses.  The General is finally dead forever.
    
    Next problem:  I found the witch and used my cane magic.  I hit her
    with EVERY shot (didn't miss once as I had her pinned in a corner). 
    Needless to say, she was ALMOST dead and I ran out of magic.  The sword
    didn't do a thing.  I am the highest level (16) that you can be.  What
    am I doing wrong????
    
    Sandie

    Could some of you more advanced players give me a hand? I've 
    made it as far as Fin Raziel's cave and I changed her back to
    her original form. My problem is this; I go north on that path
    and I come to a cave that contains the "Fleet" spell. I find that
    after I've found the "Fleet" spell, I have to use it in order to
    get out of the cave. If I go north after leaving the cave, I run
    into Sorsha who's blocking the path in the next screen. I've
    back-tracked as far as Nelwyn looking for something that I might
    have missed,but I can't find anything and when I return to the
    spot,Sorsha is always still there! Is there a way to get through
    the cave where I found the "Fleet" spell that I might have over-
    looked? Any major spoiler would relieve alot of stress!!

    re: .51
    
    There are several passages to explore in that cave system.  Spoilers
    follow form-feed.
    
    
    You need to defeat a major monster in this cave system.  Have you done
    that yet?  That will allow you to move forward in the cave system to a
    new area to explore.  More spoilers follow form-feed.
    
    You mention finding the FLEET spell in the cave system.  There are
    several other things to be found here as well.  List follows form-feed:
    
    Magic Book
    Metal Shield
    Zhena's Flute
    Dragon Feather
    Bombard Spell
    
    If you need specific directions, let me know.
    
    Mary
    

    RE: .52
    
    Thanks alot for the tips,Mary, but I found out what I was doing
    wrong. After I got the "FLEET" spell, I didn't follow the cave
    far enough through to see the door to Zhena's island. Thanks
    again!!

    I have yet another question: I've defeated General Kiel and have
    gone on to fight Bavmorda. Before I got to General Kiel's room,
    I met up with Madmartigan and Sorsha who told me that the spirit's
    crest was in a cave under the castle. I haven't been able to locate
    it so should I attempt to fight Bavmorda without it? Is there some-
    thing that I missed???
    

    Hint after form-feed...
    
    When you approach General Kael, doesn't he tell you that Bavmorda
    already HAS the crest?  I think so...I'd go on to fight Bavmorda now if
    I were you.
    
    Mary
    

    Once again, thanks Mary! I beat her last night and you were right:
    Bavmorda had the crest. What an ending, huh? The best I've seen
    since Ninja Gaiden!!

    How did you defeat Bavmorda!!  I've gotten there 3 times and used
    the cane.  I can pin her in a corner and hit her with every shot,
    not missing one.  But I run out of magic JUST before her life level
    runs out.  Then she kills me!  Am I supposed to use a sword also?
    
    I'm the highest level I can be, so I can increase my magic.  I'm
    stumped!
    
    Sandie

    Spoiler for Bavmorda after form-feed...
    
    
    I believe you have JUST enough magic do in Bavmorda when you are at the
    highest level, so you cannot miss a single shot.
    
    It's tough.  Took me a *lot* longer than 3 tries to do!  Good luck!

    was later freed by the brownies. I lost the crest and am kind of stuck.
    
    I've made my way to Nockmaar, and can't get in!!! I went to the hut to 
    the left of tir asleen and the door won't open up..... I, backtracked
    almost every and can't locate anything that I may have missed.....
    I've only battles two major bosses so far one in the tunnel system and
    the other in tir asleen.....   A major spoiler is needed, or even a
    little one will do......

Re: -.1
What to do next:

I *think* the brownies are waiting for you at the entrance to the 
cave south and to the right a little. It's been a long time, but now 
that you've been freed, I think you can now enter this cave and come 
out the other end, where (another spoiler follows)...

the old man's hut is (just above it), but you couldn't get there 
before because it was blocked.

    Possible spoilers:
    
    	I've been through the castle at Tir Asleen - there are only 2
    floors + basement , right? Gone through the cave system to Nockmaar,
    and I cannot get into the castle! There is a guard who says something like :
    	'this is no place for the likes of you.'
    
    Is there a way to go around the guard, or have I missed something?
    
    I had a similar problem getting the witches boots from the old man -
    I talked to him about 15 times before he finally gave me the boots,
    I still don't know why he suddenly decided I was worthy!
    
    		Any help?
    			Robert.

    Scouring this note file, I finally found a hint that I am not crazy. I
    have spent hours looking for the "boots" to cross the cursed bridge. I
    have talked to the cave dweller who tells me that there is no way to
    cross the cursed bridge and get to Tir Asleen. I imagine that this is
    the one that somehow sometime gives me the boots. Is this essentially
    correct? Has anyone figured out what the trigger is to make him give me
    the boots? 
    
    I am despirate and need an answer. Please phone, mail or reply.

    Just to make it official that my family and I smashed Bavmorda and with
    lots of pride watched the final scenes. We felt good that despite our
    cry for help (which nobody responded to) we did it ourselves. I have
    put behind a form feed, several hints that might be useful to those
    that follow that were not located elsewhere in this topic.
    
    
    
    - the spiney creature in the back of the cave just past the first river
    and Fin Razel can be had by standing perfectly still and stiking as the
    creature comes to yuo. Your shield will do the blocking work for you if
    you don't move.
    
    - The witches boots can be had from the cave dweller as mentioned in
    this topic previously. What it didn't tell you was that you had to
    bother this person by gointg in there repeatedly before you got the
    boots.
    
    - A similar thing happened with the key to Nockmoor. After getting the
    instructions, I visited the old lady's house and the door would not
    open. I went back to Nockmoor and tried it again and it worked. Why?? I
    don't know.
    
    - Gneral Keil is a real tough one to beat. It took me about 20 tries to
    kill him off. YOU MUST EXIT (OR USE FLEET) AFTER KILLING HIM AND BEFORE
    GOING ON TO FIND BAVMORDA, AND VISIT A HEALING STATION. THIS WILL LOCK
    IN YOUR KILL. Otherwise, you might have to kill him again.
    
    - Bavmorda is easier by comparision. You must not use up ANY MAGIC ON
    THE WAY UP TO HER!!! YOU WILL NEED IT ALL. Once inside her place,
    position yourself in the top right corner and face down. When she
    starts up your way, slowly loose a shot from the magic cane at her. Do
    not fire too quickly. By doing it slowly, she will stay in her place
    and just kick back a little after each hit. You must score a hit wit
    every shot until your entire magic is gone. The second phase with the
    sword is VERY easy and she will die just like the dragons you have had
    to kill on your way around.
    
    Good Luck

    I'm still lost trying to get the keys to Nockmaar. Any help? I've been
    going around in circles for a few weeks now...
    
    Every time I go up the mountain, the old woman says the same thing...
    something about waiting for a brave man...

    go back and visit Nockmar again and talk to the people there. After
    that revisit, go to Tir Asleen, and "knock" on the house door that is
    just below and to the left of the castle. The door should open for you
    this time and the old woman should give you the key.
    
    I also had to do this more than once to get the door to open. If it
    still fails to open try it again. The one to visit in Nockmoor is the
    person that tells you about the key. What I did was as soon as I got
    that message, I fleeted out of the building, and called Po to carry me
    to Tir Asleen. I went right up to the house and the door opened for me.
    
    Good Luck,

    thanks! will try (again!) tonight...

    	Thanks again for the help! Finished the game last night.

    	The thing that was getting me was getting past the guard at the
    	front gate of Nockmaar. By sheer luck, I found the answer :
    	I had to change myself into a monster to scare the guard away.
    	After that, it wasn't too difficult...

    I  am probably just a tad thick headed but will someone PLEASE tell
    me how to use the password feature.. the obvious is most likely
    alluding me.

    When you die, get the password.  Write it down exactly as you see
    it (using mixed case).  Then shut the machine off (or continue if
    you wish). 
    
    The next time you start it up, enter the pasword you got (using
    mixed case) and then hit start, you should then enter the game.

    thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you :-))
    
    one more thing...  does the password change with each game??
    
    Fay
    

    
    Fay,
    
    	I'm not sure what you mean by "does the password change with
    each game".  I know that the passwords are determined (i.e.
    calculated/encoded) by:
    
    		1) your posessions at last rest point
    
    		2) your level (not exp though) at last rest
    
    		3) place of last rest
    
    	So, if you get a password, it will return you to the same
    place/level every time you use it.
    
    
    
    			Tony
    

    uh ha!!  ok. I get it.. FINALLY:-))
    
    MAKES SENSE..I thought the passwordd were just scrambled numbers
    etc.. makes sense that they mean more than just that.
    thank you again.. saved me from complety tearing my hair out:-)

I need LOTS OF HELP... I can't find PO, I have been round and round death 
forest (at least I think I have), I have been back and forth between DEW 
and PO's owner, I've been through the cave where I needed the statue to get 
to and have been thru the dragon's cave several times and I have freed Fin 
Razel and have gone into the caves just beyond.  I have the following 
items:

	SWORD's -  Long           I find that I use Kaiser all the time
		   Dragon 
		   Battle	Don't know when or where to use the others
		   Flame
	           Kaiser
		   Wonder
	           Devileye

	MAGIC   -  acorn
		   fireflor (?)
		   cane
		   healmace
		   fleet
		   book of magic
		   feather

	SHIELD's - wood
		   dragon scale
		   battle        I use this one all the time
		   small
		   gold
		   metal

	ITEM's  -  statue of gold
		   scale
		   herbs
		   bracelet
		   key
		   wakka
		   nockmarr (don't know what this is for)
		   shoes
		   powder
		   necklace

I have only come accross the first two towns, I keep getting killed when I 
meet the "boss" in the cave just pass Fin Razel, but I'm persistant so I 
will continue on, BUT, SOMEONE PLEASE, give me a general idea of where to 
look for poor PO, I know that I will need him when the tough gets going, 
fleet helps me get out of the cave(s) but usually where I entered...

Anyway, thanks for anyhelp you can give... if you want to send me some DOWN 
RIGHT SPOILERS, don't be afraid to .... on DEMSUP::BROUILLET

Again, thanks!

          In the caverns west of dew I came to a bridge. Every time I touch

    to pass the bridge?

	You have to complete the quest in the cave north of Dew.  That 
    requires that you get past the guard.

More spoiler:



	To get past the guard, you need an Item.  You have to get past both
    'green cobras' to get the item.

    
    
    Just got a NES fror Xmas. This game was given to my 10 year old
    daughter. So far, I'm ahead of her. Too bad I can't keep up with her on
    Mario Brothers. Anyway, I have a couple of questions. Can the trees in
    Death Forest be killed? I've been avoiding them but would love to kill
    one.
    
    Is there a way to quit the game? I couldn't find anything in the
    instruction booklet.  I can die and get the password but would rather
    just leave and come back later.
    
    tom
    

    Tom,
    
    I finished the game quite a while ago and will try to remember,
    I couldn't find anyway to kill the trees, just timed it to get
    through without getting smashed by the fireballs.
    
    I don't know the answer to your second question, as I only play with
    the NINTENDO for a set period of time (depends on the game).  For 
    Willow the time factor was an hour each night (my son and I played
    this one as a team and that's all he's allowed per day with it).
    
    Hope this helps.

    
    Anyway. while I'm here, is there a way to see samething that was told
    to you previously? The old lady in Death Forest told me she lost Po. I
    believe she said he was in Death Forest. I assume this is the area from
    the bridge to the cave of the Dragon with the fireballing trees. I
    can't find Po!!!!! I have even crossed the lake. (Fin Raziel is now a
    bird) I think I've been everywhere in the Death Forest. Can I get her
    to say it again or does someone have it written down? Am I correct in
    my thinking of where Po should be?

Re .78 B:

	The only way I know of to get a password is to get killed.  If
    ANYONE finds another way, PLEASE post it here!

Spoilers

Re .78 A:

	With the equipment you normally have at that stage, no.  I have NOT
    tried with some of more powerful swords from the end of the game.  There
    is a definite leason here - don't try to fight everything you see.  It
    makes more sense to go around the big mountain rather than directly over 
    the peak, unless you are trying to get to the peak.

Re .80:

	Po is not IN Death Forest, but you knew that.  It is near by however
    and you have definitely passed the place where it is found.  A little 
    indirect reasoning will tell you that it is not likely to be hidden in the 
    sections before the forest, so put some effort into the sections immediatly 
    after the forest.

    
    thanks but I had already went back and found Po. I should have
    mentioned that. I even went back to Nelwyn and all the way back to see
    if I had missed anything to that point. 
    
    I made it to the red towers but I don't have the red crystal. I am
    wondering if I need to get the crystal from the dragon. He gave me a
    bracelet but I haven't got a crystal from him. Maybe the brownies lied
    to me. Wandered back and found I still can't get by Sorsha either. I
    like the effects of going up the east tower. The torches lighting and
    being able to see the steps below.
    
    This is fun!!!
    
    tom
    

    
    Any good hints on Bavmorda? I can't get her to stay still!!!!
    
    I found Kael pretty easy, actually. It surprised the heck out of me!
    
    tom
    

    
    Never mind the last request. I entered the note, decided to try again
    and I WON!!!!!!!!!! That ending is great! Now to get my daughter back
    into it. She's still level 8 and hasn't reached Fin Raziel yet. She's
    more into Mario.
    
    Now on to Zelda. I've just started that and the control of Link just
    isn't the same. He goes N,S,E,W but Willow could move diagonally.
