Scope: Original Japanese Super Famicom version (1992) / Content checked: October 2, 2026
Region 1: Grass Valley
Milestone here: Brown Stone.
- Equip the Sword of Life in the trial room left of the shrine. Defeat every enemy, step on the lair, and speak to the appearing magician to learn Flame Ball.
- Enter the mine south of town, seal lairs, and free the waterwheel keeper. Return to town to activate the wheel and enable the mine elevator.
- Advance east through the mine and return to town after freeing Lisa. Take the Dream Rod from the chest, equip it, and speak to sleeping Lisa.
- Step on the dream switch, return to the mine, and follow the newly opened route. After collecting Leo's Brush, return to town again.
- Equip Leo's Brush before the painting in the hilltop house and enter it. Avoid invulnerable metal enemies for now and progress through lairs you can clear.
- Lure Solid Arm left/right, then cross the center to approach and slash. Back away while it turns silver and swings its scythe.
- After freeing the village chief, speak to him in town for the Brown Stone. Travel from the shrine to the next region.
- Also check the Pass detour near the tulip and herb at the goat enclosure's lower-right. Revisit metal enemies after obtaining the Zantetsu Sword.
Region 2: Greenwood
Milestone here: Green Stone.
- Go from Lostside Marsh to the Water Shrine and free the mole. Speak in town to receive the Mole Soul.
- Collect the Wonderful Seed in the Water Shrine and give it to the squirrel at the town exchange for the Psycho Sword. It temporarily stops even enemies you cannot defeat, letting you pass.
- Cross Fire Shrine's heated floors while cool. Inspect the sleeping stump's dream; collecting and equipping Cold Armor in town protects against heated floors.
- Receive Light Arrow from the Fire Shrine jewel. If unable to board the northern raft, return to town and use the Dream Rod on the little bird near the grave.
- After stepping on the dream switch, inspect Turbo's remains for the Greenwood Leaf. Equip it and return to the raft for the Light Shrine.
- Use the Mole Soul's illumination in the dark Light Shrine. Check corners by reaching the wall rather than turning back partway along the same passage.
- Maintain a diagonal against the 3 Altered Masks. Stay off the first enemy's movement line and slash during its stationary attack action.
- Receive the Green Stone from the Wood Spirit. Also collect the Shield Bracelet for giving the mole a Ribbon, and Emblem C from the exchange.
Region 3: Seabed Palace/St. Elles
Milestone here: Blue Stone.
- Speak to the palace mermaid statue and free a mermaid on southern Southerta Island. Return for the Bubble Armor and equip it before descending to the seabed.
- After freeing mermaid statues on each island, speak to them in the palace. Fish-pattern obstacles on the seabed disappear, allowing access to the next island. Remaining paths are reached later through other entrances.
- Free the angelfish at Rockbird Reef and receive the Sea Soul in the palace. It protects against volcanic projectiles.
- Equip Mermaid's Tears atop Durean to calm the volcano. Collect the Critical Sword from the lava chest. Leave armored gorillas until the Zantetsu Sword.
- Free dolphin Lou and receive the Thunder Ring in the palace. At Blester, touch lightning rods while wearing it to trigger nearby lightning.
- Take the Big Pearl from the chest reached by dolphin transport. Enter the sleeping dolphin's dream, equip the pearl when speaking, and step on the route-opening switch.
- Move up/down in seabed currents to reach shore and head for the ghost ship. Slash Skull Head as it approaches and reduce obstructing hands first.
- Receive the Blue Stone from the queen. Check the seabed's Power Bracelet, Emblem D in the dream-opened cave, and Magic Flare received from a mermaid.
Region 4: Mountain Spirit's home
Milestone here: Silver Stone.
- Travel from North Slope to Aurora Ridge. Lure pursuing snowballs into rocks/walls to break them instead of taking them head-on.
- After freeing the town boy, return for Mushroom Shoes. Equipping them reduces sideways ice sliding and allows progression at the summit.
- Ice slopes still slide even with the shoes. Reduce enemies beyond the slope and identify stopping platforms before moving.
- Cross the intermittently glowing narrow bridge in Laynole Ice Field for the Lucky Blade. It also relates to the elder blocking another town-side entrance; do not rush onward without it.
- Return to the ice field through another entrance for Rotator. In Lune Underground Lake, use magic against bats to reduce contact.
- Use the Dream Rod on the mushroom sleeping at the edge of the town prison. Step on its dream switch, return to the lake, and take the opened path.
- Watch Medusa's appearance location and slash from the side. Avoid facing downward projectiles/spears head-on, and shift vertically to evade homing shots.
- Speak to the king and gnome for the Silver Stone. Collect Emblem F where the dream mushroom stood and E from the hidden-passage gnome too.
Region 5: Leo's Laboratory
Milestone here: Purple Stone.
- Seal basement lairs whose enemies can be damaged and free the magnificent door. Return to the laboratory, collect the Zantetsu Sword beyond it, then revisit metal enemies.
- Equip Cold Armor on heated basement floors. Free the stairs to floor 2 and inspect the sleeping cat's dream for a door key.
- Take Mystic Armor from the dresser in the unlocked room. Keep pushing the same dresser left from its right side for Emblem G underneath.
- Inspect the town model to enter it. For invisible enemies, first free the relevant door, then speak to the laboratory floor-2 door for the Machine Soul.
- Advance through the model, free the houseplant, and receive the Catnip Leaf. Equip it to lure the cat outside, then enter the mouse hole.
- Learn Spark Bomb from the mouse inside. Take Light Armor from the power-room chest and proceed to Blow Gear.
- Check Blow Gear's arrival position after warping and slash. Attack before its missiles and move sideways off flame paths.
- Receive the Purple Stone from attic doll Marie. Revisit and release earlier enemies vulnerable to the Zantetsu Sword before entering the demon realm.
Region 6: King Magridd's Castle
Milestone here: Black Stone.
- Take the Yomi Sword in the torture room. It allows defeating ghost enemies and revisiting previously uncleared lairs.
- Inspect a corpse in the torture room for the Harp String and give it to the town bard. After the performance, collect the Platinum Card at the soldier's feet.
- Equip the Platinum Card for the left tower. Receive the VIP Card from the queen and proceed to the right tower.
- Receive Elemental Mail from the sleeping soldier and equip it. Prevent basement spike damage and use the Soldier Soul to find hidden routes/chests.
- Receive the Activation Key from Leo in the right tower. Check herbs/equipment before boarding the ship; using the key at the helm starts the boss.
- Against Spid Wing, base yourself behind the helm where wind is blocked. Aim your sword toward the boss appearing at either side, and move sideways during flames.
- Return to the castle for the Black Stone. With 6 colored stones, check transport to the demon realm.

- Use the Zantetsu Sword to defeat Durean's armored gorilla and receive the Red-Hot Rod from the freed mermaid. Check sword type against enemies that do not react.
- Advance through the demon realm for Soul Armor. It prevents damage on entering the Illusion Space; change armor after obtaining it.
- When the new demon-realm warp opens at the shrine, reenter through it. Collect the Red-Hot Ball from the chest to complete the three sacred items.
- Return to the king at the Mountain Spirit's home and exchange the 3 Red-Hot items for God Bird. Confirm the spell is learned, then return to the demon realm.
- Obtain the Soul Blade in Illusion Space. Meet equipment level 24 and prepare Soul Armor and God Bird.
- For Deathtoll phase 1, watch its warp destination before attacking. In phase 2, remove blue fire pillars, then fire God Bird upward.
- Phase 2's opening lasts from the fire pillars disappearing until it spits fireballs. Move sideways to avoid lasers/fireballs, then clear the next pillars. After victory, proceed to the ending.
