2.Level & Money Tips
- Quick leveling: Turn on Invincibility from the cheat menu, Level Warp to 'The Gauntlet' stage, then warp back to the Tavern before time runs out; hunt monsters for lots of XP/gold and repeat to any level.
- Item duplication: Save the game, drop the items you want to duplicate, then Start > change player > import the character from the save you just made; you keep both the dropped items on the ground and those in your inventory. Duplicate the Onyx Sword and sell it for ~98,000 gold.
- Rise from the dead: Using Import Character in a 2-player game you can bring back a dead character from the latest save (they reappear where they died).
3.Boss Tactics
- Huge Rat: Very fast; slash as it charges, the archer keeps it at bay. Its weakness is lightning — use a lightning arrow if you have one.
- Lizard King: Slow and powerful; circle around and hit when his back is to you. Use acid and fire together.
- Beholder King: Stays nearly still, weakness is his back. Easy with two players; watch for his eat attack, stay far and use arrows.
- Final Boss (the woman in the Onyx Tower): Two characters recommended; one deals damage with the Onyx Sword while the other distracts with good armor. When she throws her sword, raise your shield fast (it homes in).
