Gauntlet dark legacy game cube

Pojo Cannot buy This item is all about humor. It will turn your character into Pojo the chicken for a short amount of time! You will shoot out fireballs like the Phoenix Familiar and will cluck when you shoot, very funny :!

Time Stopper Cannot buy This item will stop time, which means all enemies including gargoyles ; will freeze, and traps will stop. This will give you a lot of time to attack them! This does not work against bosses. Levitation Buy from Sumner for gold This item will let you levitate for a while. You will be able to walk over floor traps, as well as the ankle biter enemies. Mikey Decoy Buy from Sumner for gold not worth it! This is a funny item. Place him anywhere and enemies will be attracted to him.

This is quite useful in some areas, as you will be able to destroy generators without the enemies going after you this doesn't work against generals, golems and gargoyles. X-Ray Buy from Sumner for This is one of the best items in the game. It will let you see what is in a Treasure Chest before you open it. This way you will know if there's a bomb or an item you don't need, so you won't have to waste a key. Always have one in your invintory!

Shrink Enemy Cannot Buy This item will This will work on gargoyles and golems and generals but NOT on bosses.

It will give gargoyles and golems and generals half their health, so its very easy to kill them this way they also won't do as much damage to you. Anti Death Buy from Sumner for gold This is my favourite item probably. While you wear it, walk up to a Death and now he will fear you! He will start to run away because you will steal Death's power. Always have this item with you!

Hand of Death Buy from Sumner for gold When you are using this item, when an enemy attacks you only with melee attacks it will hurt them as well. Health Vampire Buy from Sumner for gold You gain health when you hurt an enemy, very useful! Speed Cannot Buy This item will make you be able to run and shoot faster for a short while. Super Shot Buy from Sumner for gold This item is the best in the game by far.

Very good against gargoyles and bosses! Reflective Shot Cannot Buy Fire a shot with this item active, and it will bounce off walls and hit enemies. Reflective Armor Buy from Sumner for gold Very useful against Archers, Bombers, and Gargoyles ball attack, as any projectile shot fired at you will be reflected back at them. A level two character for example would have max health.

If a player is at maximum health, they will not be able to pick up food. The only way a player is able to go over their health limit is if they gain it from Death using the Anti Death Halo. Whenever an enemy hits you, it will subtract some of your health. When your health meter is low, you will get a message from Sumner saying its very low and to get some food fast!

There is food all over the land which will let you regain health. These are green food items with bones through them like the skull and crossbones symbol. Some characters can use their magic ability at later levels to unspoil these food items. Food can be found in the level itself just lying around, or in barrels, and the meal and hams and drumsticks are mostly found in treasure chests.

They must be collected to progress through your quest. You must collect them to unlock the different Realms. Here's a list of what Crystals open what and how many you need. For example, in the Forsaken Province, most crystals are Red as you need them for the next Realm although there are the odd other crystals in this Realm to. In these areas, you must collect different colour coins in a small level in a certain amount of time to unlock a secret character. Some of these levels are very hard espically the one where you have to beat to unlock Sumner!

It depends on how many players you are playing with to how many coins you are going to collect: 1 Player will need to get 25 coins 2 Players will need to get 50 coins 3 Players will need to get 75 coins 4 Players will need to get coins If you are able to collect all the coins in the level by the time allotted, you will unlock the secret character. If you don't, you will lose the coins and have to try again.

To get these items, you will have to defeat a Gargoyle, or find them hiddin in a level behind a secret wall or activated by a switch for example. They will open up the area to the Underworld level. There are a total of 12 in the first eight Realms, the one in the last level of the game for a grand total of They are found in secret walls and after a series of switches have been hit. There are a total of 8 Shards, one for each boss.

Now you don't HAVE to get these, but they will make boss battles MUCH easier, as they will do anything from take away their health to lower their accruacy and speed.

I highly suggest that you get all of them espcially for the later bosses! This list will say where you find them, and who they are used against. This stuff is spread throught the whole game, and you will find it just lying on the ground, in barrels, in secret walls, and Treasure Chests.

You are only able to find the coins after you beat bosses. Here, you are able to buy pretty much every item you have found so far in the level. You are also able to buy an extra 10 points in each attribute speed, magic, armor, and strength for gold. This is very useful for the rich players who are going for perfect attributs which are to make your character You will use all of that gold here, in Sumners shop.

Each item costs a certain amount of gold disscussed in the item section above. Here, he will tell you about locations of Runestones, about the different Legendary Items, about the different Bosses, and you can shop here.

This is just like the normal game menu, although here you have a few more options related to Sumner himself. Some of these hints can be very helpful, when you play the game for the first time, you should read some of his helpful hints which I have written near the top of this FAQ.

They give you valuable information. I tried my best to type as clean as I could : , but I havn't spell checked it really. I'll get around to it some day. I have divided the walkthrough into different sections, each representing a different area in Sumner's tower.

Now at the bottom of the screen you will see a HUD display. This thing will show you your name, what colour your character is, your gold, and your health.

It also shows your current level. The meter at the top is your turbo meter. When it starts to flash pink, your turbo meter will be fully charged and you have to press both the A and B Buttons at the same time to send out your most powerful attack that goes through all the enemies in its path.

When the meter is half full press A and B for a less powerful turbo attack. All the other areas in the tower are closed off. This wing contains only two Realms, the two easiest ones, which are the Forsaken Province and the Fire Mountain Realms. This Upper Tower also is part of the central tower, which hauses the portals to the Desecrated Temple and the Underworld. Sumner is in the middle of the central tower.

The first two Realms are at the top of the screen, so walk past Sumner and the Realms are to the right and left of the portal to the Desecrated Temple. When you first start the new adventure you will get this message: "Welcome, mighty heroes! The evil mage Garm has broken into my Tower and used the Runestones to summon the demon Skorne.

Skorne broke free from Garm's contol and destroyed him. Skorne has unleashed his minions upon the land and scattered the Runestones across the Eight Realms. Now he has sealed himself in the Desecrated Temple. The entrance is protected by either magical Shards.

Each is in the possession of one of Skorne's mighty Guardians. You must travel to each of the Eight Realms, fight your way through Skorne's minions and defeat his Guardians. Only after obtaining all either shards can you enter the Desecrated Temple and banish Skorne to the Underworld. Skorne has sealed the entrance to each Realm with a magical shield.

Throughout the land you will find Crystals which will enable you to remove these shields. Go now, the fate of the Realms is in your hands! Prepare for a huge adventure! The enemies arn't very difficult, and they don't spawn very quickly. Now firstly, your going to need to unlock this Realm. When you start the adventure, and after you read Sumner's Note, he will summon 15 Orange Crystals into his Tower.

Go around and collect the Crystals to the left of you when you start. Don't forget about the Crystal directly in front of you!

Once you get all the 15 Crystals, you will get a message saying "Congratulations! You now have enough Crystals to enter the Forsaken Province. If your ready to continue onto the first Realm, walk over to the greenish looking Realm.

There is a little 15 on it. Step on the square that says 15 and the magical shield will dispatch, letting you enter the first Realm, the Forsaken Province! When you enter this lobby area, step on the portal that has the swirling purple in the middle.

The others are inactive. You can tell because they do not have the swirling purple thing in the middle. Whenever you beat a level, the next level will actovate. This is the first level in GDL. It is very easy, but it is quite a large level. Each new point is told by a "-", and each point is usualy for a new area.

Destroy it and that will stop the enemies. Behind you is a key and two barrels. Here, just go around and destroy enemies and open the first chest, it contains a Potion. There are three more barrels, with a Potion in one. Destroy the green barrel and then go next to the windmill and collect the yello potion.

Activate that item, and then open the door to the right. Theres a black death in there, and with you're anti death halo item up, you will GAIN a level from him or else you would lose a level if he got you. You could of course just use a potion to kill him.

In a clearing is a green barrel, a chest with meat in it, and a keyring hidden in a fake stump. Continue the path going right. When you get to a fork in the road, go right or left it doesn't really matter. Cross it to get to a little item place. These attributes are increased as you level up and strengthen your legacy throughout the game. Once a fight has begun, players have several options of how they will conduct their attack. You can mix and match the variables of fast, slow, strong, and weak to put together a custom attack.

These combo attacks are stronger than attacks based on one variable. Strafing, blocking, and charging are also options in battle.

Strong players can defend themselves and inflict damage simultaneously with the same move. Choices of weapons used to slash through the dark hordes of enemies include sword and ax. Magic spells can also be strategically cast to cut everyone down to size. Power ups can be found in over 60 stages of gameplay. They increase health and take out enemies when their numbers become too many.

Gameplay differs between realms. In some cases, players simply race straight down paths and fight whatever gets in their way. In other locations; however, players must navigate mazes. Along the way, players seek to gather up magical items which can give them additional powers.

Players must also gather food for sustenance. Treasure can be used as currency to buy food or weapons at shops. The enemies vary by the level or world they are encountered in. A magical generator creates enemies even as they are killed. It is only when the generator is destroyed that enemies stop being created.
