Notes

• The more you practice with a weapon, the better you get with it and the more damage you can cause.
• The pink scorpion and the snake always want something, either trade or something else. For those of you who are Japanese animation fans, Chisa Yokoyama (voice of "Sasami" in Tenchi Muyo!) plays the weeping snake.
• Ramses and the starfish help you. DON'T HURT THEM!
• Sometimes, just talking to a starfish will open a secret passage to explore. After you encounter one of them, doublecheck parts of the dungeon which may show up on the map, but which were previously blocked.
• The game is automatically saved every time you beat a boss monster.
