NintendoCapriSun plays Willow for NES - Part 3 of 11


We finally find the stuff we were looking for!


The ring increases your strength when you wear it.

The boss here is some green guy with a horn on his head. This is the village chief's father, Bogarda, and he wants the gold statue. Willow refuses to give him the gold statue, which triggers the first boss battle in the game.

Boss battles are a little different. The playfield is on the right, while the two energy gauges - P for the player and E for the enemy - are on the left along with your experience and MP.

You'll want to avoid this guy's boomerang and strike him once with the stab before running away. If you can get a standing swing on him, great. When you beat the boss, you'll gain about 700 experience points and your life will be restored.

You'll restore the village chief's father back to his human form, and he asks you to fight for peace. He teaches you the magic of Flowing Fire, which creates a circle of fire around you when you casts it. He then tell you to see Cherlindrea, a fairy who lives in Lake Cheef to the west of Dew.

Of course, before you can do that, you'll have to leave the cave, because the game's not gonna do it for you!

Once you're in Dew, head back to the house that lets you restore your HP. The old man there will tell you about the Dragon Scales, proof of a battle between an adventurer and a vicious dragon named Matanda. The old man used to be a blacksmith, but would love to make a weapon out of those scales, and asks you to bring them to him if you find them.

With healing in town out of the way, now we can go west.
