Levelling health reduces the damage you take, as does better armor; you get more hearts by finding them in caves and certin shops. Same goes for levelling magic; magic attacks take less to cast. Attack and weapons improve melee damage. Cutybunny and butterfly are one-time encounters by slashing certain bushes in the second world. There are 30 rounds in the arena, and yes you can do it twice to get both prizes. The axes' special abilities can be used to hit 2 or 4 switches if you get between them. EVERY cave and fortress is worth exploring COMPLETELY. Farm bosses for best xp gain. On a personal note, the first time you get 5k gold, I suggest you buy the sword; early on and through most of the game, the best defense is a good offense. Good luck!

It is easy to get 'every item in the game' , you have to buy the armour, the shield and the weapon from the village shop. You also have to complete the entire colisseum 2 times for both elixers. Thats about it, the rest of the items are compulsory to get during your adventure, so you need not worry on missing a single weapon,shield or armour.

Combat Tutorial:
1) Use the swords. They are vastly superior over the other weapons except maaaybe for some of the bosses.
2) Remember that you have superior reach and attack speed. Foes can only hit you if they outflank or charge you. Avoid both and you won't be hit.
3) Your attack speed is unlimitted and the only reason you can't just kill everything in one flurry is that the foes are pushed back by your attacks. Push your foes against a wall and you have set up a mighty flurry.
4) You can hit everything in reach simultaneously. Use this to your advantage by running from enemies for a while until they stand in a straight line. Then cut down that line.
5) Your greatest advantage: Your weapon swings in a wider arc than theirs. That means that when you stand diagonally from a foe, you can hit him but NOT vice versa. Not even with missiles. Abusing this makes even the pigsecutors easy prey.

bestairy badge isn´t so hard.. there are only two hidden monsters in bushes/ the cutybunny close to the intro house- left side, and the butterfly which is in one of the bushes next to a dungeon-outside-.

Best way to not backtrack once you got the key/items is to save & quit.
Not only will you reset to the entrance of the dungeon,
it also heals you without wasting bandage.
Do this a lot in the last dungeon!

By the way, for those who don't know, if you defeat the arena once, it says you can only choose one of the two prices, but if you complete the arena AGAIN, you'll be able to get the other prize too. :D

The top-middle grid in the overworld is a good place to grind money. Because of the dense bushes. Bushes have no exp but their drop seems like the same as normal enemies. You can get about 15 enemies' worth of drop per travel (which takes about 20 seconds.) The dropped amount is too random but I suppose no less than 50 per travel.

@theNickyboy: Actually, despite the top-down perspective it resembles the second Zelda game more, with the leveling system, health and magic meter styles, and so on.

We defeated that little kid! Where should we put him, sir?" "Eh, take him back to the entrance and fully heal him. Oh, and keep all the giant steel doors open.

In the Coliseum: To defeat the boss Red Ghoul, stand behind him and throw your boomeraxe at him. When he goes to cast the ball that chases you and his hand is off the screen, the ball glitches and disappears.
When killing moths, it is best to be in front of their move path then swiping like crazy with your sword. They are stuck on that path and will die at your feet. Try not to let them get too close.
Final Boss: Brutus, Much like World 2 Dungeon 1's boss, he casts lightning. stand at his corner and smack him around with your sword, he cant do anything to you because he's thinks he is more melee than he is. Watch for shadows!
At about 100,000xp per run coliseum is the easiest place to rack up xp.
+1 to show others.

You know, traditionally when a game with enemies that hurt you through contact have teleporting bosses, there's a few lines of code that tells the boss not to teleport on top of the player.

Great game! Wish there were more worlds. The Colosseum challenges were hard the first times through, but they totally helped in figuring out the best way to attack enemies. You can get into the pub once you level up all the way and you'll receive a prize as the 1000th customer. If you want to keep the game fun don't level up to 21 in attack, instead level up in magic (special attacks only cost 1 magic) and use the special attack on the black ice wand (#8). You'll become a walking hurricane of snowballs. The level 21 sword attack makes the game a little too easy. Of course, once you have level 21 in any category the Colosseum challenge is a cinch and racking up another 99999 exp is easy.

Awesome game. I was addicted as soon as I started. Only disappointment was that the last thing I had to do was farm for money to get the last badge (this may have just been my fault through needless spending) If anyone wants a tip to farm money.... first row, third column on the map has a lot of bushes that tend to produce more money then just hacking enemies. 5/5 game

*@BerzerkStudio:*
Just a comment to say that the 'Official Forum', as advertised/linked in-game ('Special Features' Menu - linked from the space-bar inventory), for http://www.berzerkstudio.com/forum returns a '404 Not Found' error. Removing 'forum' from the link taken to, -does- have a forum: http://www.berzerk-land.com/forum/
(N.B. The site 'Search', has a very poor text colour (very light grey), for anyone with sight problems.)
Is this a bad link, or not updated etc? As 'Berzerk Land' appears to be like a mini-Kong, with none of the advertised: Official Walk-through, Maps, Cheats, or a Forum - about *this* game (I admit to not spending much time checking, as I'm unwilling to sign-up to a site, purely to use a 'Forum Search' function!).
It appears that this game's been out of Beta for a while now - I hope that doesn't also mean that the Dev's given up on it!

Oh, and do NOT grind or farm too much and reach MAX level of everything (level 21, cost 99999, requires all skills be level 20) before killing the final boss, or at least before going into his dungeon. They basically put you in god mode and make the game get boring rather quickly afterwards.
FYI, Max level health makes you nigh invulnerable. All hits do one damage to you. Max magic is similar, making all specials cost 1. Max ATTACK, however, makes all sword attacks create three huge lightning bolts in a 90 degree arc in front of you, each doing 999 damage. Yeah, it's pretty fun, but the rest of the game becomes a drag if you get them too early.
On the bright side, with max magic you can charge everywhere to move a little faster, or if you're feeling a bit OCD, you can run around constantly spamming double boomeraxe to kill and grab everything at almost the same time....

In the beginning, you will mostly be using normal melee attacks, so I suggest raising the attack stat first. If not, you'll be running out of magic constantly and purchasing sodas will be so expensive that you won't be able to afford anything else. Effectively using more magic comes later. Don't waste early money on items, instead buy the sword, then the armor with your first 10k. After that, you should buy items as needed to suit your playstyle and spend the rest on XP elixirs. Grab every "Burst" item you see in a shop, they will boost your life and magic maximum capacity. Whack them bushes for easy loot! If you ever get stuck, try using the frost wand on the big wall.. Asking yourself how to combine items? Don't worry, the game will do it automatically when you reach the correct spot with said items. Don't grind, it's not needed and will make the game too easy. This is an overall excellent game, one of the best Zelda clones there is. Another masterpiece from BerzerkStudio! 5/5.

if you level everything to level 20 the cap of leveling increases by one meaning level 21 is now max. it requires 99999 exp for each of the upgrades. If you upgrade attack you release three beams each dealing 999 if you choose to upgrade life all damage is reduced to 1, if you choose to upgrade magic than your dash will cost 1 mana after upgrading all three of those your experience says max

I was wondering why would I kill all those harmless arachnid creatures, which run away from me. Am I the bad guy? But wait, do spiders make golden coins? No. Then coins were stolen. Having a reason I can splat them with my Stick of Truth and fight for justice in this country, where apparently all chickens were cooked in deep oil. Alas, even when peace will be restored it'll be a sad land where you have to eat rats and blue slimes.

Really enjoyed/enjoying this game! Only problem that came up, at one point the Red Ghoul ended up on the other side of the left wall in the arena, and moved offscreen. Never came back, but I could hear it attacking.

brilliant game, it's like a combination of zelda and goofy both for the SNES.. only with combat sounds that resemble the sounds of the game 'kalorie king' perfectly
5/5 and definitely favorited
