Then, circle around until you get a chance to go back down. From there, climb the other set of slanted crates, located before the exit, and standing atop the trapdoor.

Information in this section was contributed by Wezdon Verager.

Hint: See turbo attack:
To see your turbo attack, go to the entrance of the Warriors Mountain. Turn around to see a view that is right in front of your character. If your turbo attack meter is charged in the red, use it to see it come straight to the front of the screen. Note: This trick works best with wizard.

Hint: Stop time and explore:
Get to the first end Boss and have a "Stop Time" item. As you are about to die vs. the Dragon, turn on the "Stop Time" item. Make sure it is still running when you lose the life. Choose to continue, and enter any level besides a Boss level. Time will be stopped in all levels, monsters will not regenerate, and nothing except poisoned food will harm your character. You will also have free reign on any item. However, you will gain hardly any experience points. This may also be done with the "Shrink" item.

Play level 1 in the mountain world and finish it without using any of the items that were collected. When you return to the tower, sell your items. Use the money to buy 20 points of stats. Repeat this until reaching the maximum in every stat. Then, when you level up, you should get any of the stat you are missing. Each stat can be raised to 999.
Information in this section was contributed by Apolloloch.

Hint: Shield effect without a shield:
This trick is useful when fighting small or medium size enemies. If you do not have a shield, hold Z and run into any small to medium size enemies to knock them down, which will sometimes kill them. Note: This does not work against Bosses, Golems, etc.

Hint: Use a potion as a shield:

Information in this section was contributed by Philip Griggs.

Hint: Unlimited rapid-fire turbo attack:
Defeat Scorne in the Cathedral level that is unlocked after defeating all four Bosses. Get all four items that are given to you as a reward for defeating him. Equip both Gold Gauntlet objects that you receive and do the trick where you attack an enemy by walking into it while holding Turbo. If done correctly, your familiar will start shooting its attack normally while your character punches and kicks constantly. Keep holding Turbo, find some enemies, walk towards them, and your familiar's attack will kill them instantly once it hits, just as a turbo attack would. Note: This trick will not work on Bosses.
Information in this section was contributed by DoubleBassDemon.

Hint: Defeating Bosses:
Purchase a Five-Way Shot for use in Boss battles.
Information in this section was contributed by DABOM9575.

Use power-ups such as Rapid Fire, Three- or Five- Way Shot, Player Growth, The Phoenix, and some type of Amulet. Make sure you turn them on before you enter the battle, or the Boss will be hitting you while you are switching between power-ups.
Information in this section was contributed by Brandon Fox.

To kill the Dragon, get a 5-way shot. To kill the Yeti, use the fire amulet and 3- or 5-way shot. To kill the Plague, use the electric amulet and the 3- or 5-way shot. To defeat Skorne use the light amulet and the 3- or 5-way shot.
Information in this section was contributed by USCMitch99.

When fighting a Boss, play as the Wizard. Use his yellow turbo attack (therock shower) and it will shave up to one-fifth of the Boss' life. All you have to do is get close.
Information in this section was contributed by Chris Fitzpatrick.

Get a Phoenix, Five-Way Shot, any Amulet, and Rapid Fire to help defeat Bosses. Note: This works best after level 25.
Information in this section was contributed by Scott Krider.

Hint. Defeating Golems:
Get Shrink Enemies and Limited Growth.
Information in this section was contributed by Grolc.

Hint: Defeating Skorne:
Get a Five-Way Shot and an Electric Amulet. Keep on shooting until he has been defeated. It also helps to turn a potion into a shield if you are low on health.

When fighting Skorne the second time, get all the health you can. Then, run up to Skorne and use the gloves that you get along with growth and attack his stomach. When he is halfway dead, use the special. It is best done with Summoner. If done correctly, he will die within five minutes. Note: Do not use magic or any amulets.

Hint: Defeating the Red Dragon:
When playing as the wizard, use your Rock Shower when close to the Red Dragon, which will almost kill it.
Information in this section was contributed by Ryan V.

If playing as the wizard with your strength is over 840, use Rock Shower in front of the dragon to kill it in one hit.
Information in this section was contributed by rappfamily.

When playing as characters other than the wizard, buy two Super Shots, one Timestop, and a Grow. Turn them all on except for Timestop. Use Super Shot when you get a little close. While you have Growth on, it should make Super Shot bigger and do more damage to the dragon.
Information in this section was contributed by ShannonRules1.

When fighting against the Red Dragon, you can defeat it on any level with no power ups. To do so, go to the right corner of the field, near the Dragon's left foot (by the cliff). Stay there and "shoot" your weapons at the dragon. If you have more than one player playing, the dragon will still hit you on occasion - though not very often, if you are in the correct location. After the other players die, the dragon will not hit you again - as long as you are in the correct location.
Information in this section was contributed by Aerick.

Hint: Defeating enemies:
Buy two Growths and two Speed. Turn them both on, then get Special. Do not use it while you have Growth and Speed on. With Special, use Turbo Run to make your enemies fly back. This is best done on big enemies, such as Golems.
Information in this section was contributed by ShannonRules1.

Hint: Regaining health:
If you are running low on health, go to the first level of the Mountain Kingdom. Repeatedly play the level to get approximately 500 health 5 potions. If you pick up items and save them by pressing R you can sell them later and get more gold to buy power-ups or more health. The second level of the Mountain Kingdom is a good place for picking up approximately 2000 gold. However, this level is a more risky then the first level.
Information in this section was contributed by Brandon Fox.

Hint: Easy health build:
Going through the various warps are quite cumbersome. Your health is typically running low after the Boss matches and the "Blue, Yellow, Green" levels. If you need to recharge your health, go to the very first warp you encountered in the game and you should average around 400 to 500 health points. Do that about three to four times and you should be ready to take on the next warp --it does not take that long.

After you defeat the last Skorne, you will get permanent Anti-Death. When you look at the items stats, you will see that you have one of them. Defeat the last Skorne to get a second Anti-Death, which will give you more health than when you had only one. Keep doing this. You can gain even more health from the Deaths before you go to the first Skorne then when you grab health from them at the first world.
Information in this section was contributed by ZacMaster007.

Hint: Easy experience:
Play an advanced character and enter the first level of the mountain world. You can collect up to 550 life and 950 gold. Going through the level about two times should raise your experience enough to gain a level. Save the power-ups and potions for use or to sell later.

Reach an enemy and use the close combat skill which each character has. As soon as your character starts using their close combat skill, hold Z. If done correctly, your character should use the close combat skill and you can control him. While you are doing this, do not attack anyone since it does not harm them. Just walk around everywhere and your experience points should keep rising.

Go to a generator in any level. Stay there and keep shooting at the monsters. You will gain a lot of experience. Eventually, the generator will stop producing the monsters. Note: If you shoot the generator, it will get smaller and you will not get as much experience.
Information in this section was contributed by KINGSK8TR90.

Use the following trick to get a lot of health as well as gold and experience. Go to level 2 in the Volcano. Play through the level and you will receive approximately 2,300 gold each time. The monsters are also weak, and instead of having the food make up for lost life, you will earn about 600 life. Each time you play the level you will earn close to or a little over 5,000 experience even at higher levels. Play through this level three times, saving all gold and power-ups to sell, and you will earn over 20,000 gold.

The monsters in the first levels give about as much experience as the other levels, which makes it easy to gain experience and levels.
Information in this section was contributed by Neopeterulz89.

Use locations with never ending enemies to your advantage. For instance, since your character can throw their weapons, use a strategic method to reach a point in your surroundings in which the monsters cannot reach you, but you can reach them. Just keep killing them from that spot. Since the enemies are never ending use that unfair advantage to your advantage. In the long run this will allow you to prevail in gaining experience. Once you are satisfied with your skill level and experience, then you can return to completing the game.

Hint: Easy money:
Note: Two controllers are required for this trick. Start a two player game. If there is only one person playing, let player two die. Find the Thunder Hammer. Press R so you do not accidentally use it. When you complete the level, sell it for 1300 gold. Repeat the process until you have as much money as desired. Note: When you repeat the trick, turn player two back on or else the Thunder Hammer will not appear.

Glitch: Rapid-fire walk attack:
Attack an opponent way walking into it. Hold Z immediately after the attack is started. Then, turn around and begin walking. If done correctly, your character will begin walking very slow and firing very fast.

Glitch: Kill enemies without attacking:
Go to an enemy generator. Kill all the enemies near it so you are not bothered. Then, when an enemy is just exiting the generator (half in and half out), walk into him to attack him. Melee and hold Z, then walk away. If done correctly, you will keep attacking the air, but hurting all enemies that exit the generator, killing them and gaining experience while not actually attacking them.
