In this episode, Superfly falls for what feels like the oldest trick in the book and we go through a teleporter maze. This won't be the last maze in the game, either.
As you go through the corridor, you'll fight more of those enemies that go down with one swing of the Hammer, and you'll end up in the same place where King Gharroth smashed the Holy Sword. Here, you'll find the Queen's Necklace in front of the Queen's grave as well as a flower. If you face it and interact with it, you'll find a Pieces of Holy Sword. You'll also find a green Capsule here, should you need it.
There is a woman north of the corridor leading to the Queen's grave. If you talk to her with the Queen's Necklace in your possession, she will give you the Key to Windrax Tower and ask you to bring the King back to his senses. you'll be able to enter the door to the north. Beat up the archer, and stand on the grey and brown tile.
From here, step on the tiles in the following order: lower-left, then lower-right. Move carefully to avoid being zapped by the dragon head statues, then go north and step on the tile to the right. Take the Bolter cartridge to the south without being zapped, then head north. Walk up to what looks like a white basket that is spawning rats and keep attacking it, and you'll open the door to the north as well as get a red Capsule for your trouble. Save your game, then go north. You'll then face Windrax.
Equip the Bolter. From here, you'll have to anticipate where Windrax teleports, face him and shoot at him with the Bolter, then quickly move away to avoid his own projectile. This will take some practice, but it is possible. If you get hit, you'll lose 50 HP, so you'll have to be very careful. For best results, stand in the center of the room. That way, he'll only teleport to one of four locations in the room. If you feel you can't hit him in time, dodge, then try again. Don't try to attack afterwards, as you won't be able to hit Windrax in time.
After enough Bolter shots to Windrax, your maximum health will go up by 50 points and you'll get three times: a Pieces of Holy Sword, a Key for the Tower of Nharre and a Healing Leaf. The key does what you expect it to do, but the Healing Leaf is a little harder to figure out.
Head to the right end of the castle and go down the stairs. Interact with the two candlesticks to light them with the Flint. The door to the north will open, and you'll be able to follow the underground path. You'll eventually reach a large area covered in lava, and you'll have to jump carefully and push rocks into the lava to make easier paths to places you need to go.
The blue Capsule will refill 200 HP, and is the best Capsule in the game.
You'll eventually come a cross a big pit that large boulders are falling into. You won't be able to do anything from the the south end, so you'll have to find a way to the other side. On the west side of the maze, you'll find a door that can be unlocked with the Tower of Nharre Key.
When you go in, there will be three brown-and-gray teleporter tiles. Take the upper-left tile, the lower-left tile, and the lower-left tile again. Cross the room to get to another tile, then save and go north again. You'll meet Nharre's servant, who will tell you that Nharre is inside the pot in the center of the room. Superfly looks in the pot only to get sucked in, and Nharre's servant is really Nharre, who runs to the north. When you follow him north, you'll be in a room that looks like Hiro's dojo. The two students inside will attack you, so strike back with the Daikatana.
When you beat the "students," you'll end up back in the castle. Go north and face Nharre. Equip the Bolter and fight him like you did Windrax. The only difference is that there will sometimes be a clone of Nharre along with the real one, but if you wait until there is only one, you'll hit the real one every time. If you do attack when two Nharres are on the screen, you'll know which one is the real one by seeing if your Bolter arrow goes through him. If it does, that's the fake one. It's better to wait until there's only one Nharre.
Once you beat Nharre, he will flee, and you'll get Nharre's wand. Head back to the pot and approach it, and you'll free Superfly. He will mention that he found some things, and you'll be able to get them: Medicine as well as a Pieces of Holy Sword. You'll need the Medicine to cure Mikiko.
