Shadow of the Beast Tips & Tricks

You'll find this handy object outside the castle. Keep it because you'll need it to summon the King Gargoyle.

Drop the coin down the well (on the start of level three) to get an extra life.

This mixture will be needed to destroy the monster at the end of level four. (It helps if you have the gun too.)

You'll find the jet-pack and mask outside the entrance to level five. Put them on BEFORE entering the room. If you don't you'll be instantly killed.

This is to be found on the platform underneath the Orb Keeper on level one. It's used to open the door at the end of level two.

This key will allow you entrance to the caves on level five.

This is one of the 'red herrings' left lying around to confuse you. It has absolutely no use whatsoever, so it's best left where you find it.

In the top lefthand corner of level two you'll find this key. You'll need to use it on the door to the castle.

At the start of the game, go left past the tree with "HOME" written on it and punch the rock pile to collect the key. Run back to the "HOME" tree and select the key to enter the underground domain.

Fly right, hitting the slime on the floor to pick up strength. You should also find the egg that the Gargoyle requested. At the far right, you'll meet Corannis. Fire at its mouths until it is destroyed. This will teleport you back to the castle. use the crucifix in the gravestone here to give King Gargoyle the signal to teleport you back. Run right to Gargoyle and he'll let you pass. Go right all the way, hitting the gravestones for extra potions. You'll reach a giant's foot and a club. Hit the foot a number of times, avoiding the club. Sit back and enjoy the ending sequence.
