The game reaches its proper conclusion as we fight Death Adder once and for all!
Wait, what's that?
Seriously?
Really?!?
You don't say.
After the bridge at the path after the eagle, you'll be able to enter the town of North Valley.
North Valley
An old man in the village will tell you that he lived a long time due to a Magic Stone, but he has lost it somewhere.
For some reason, a few of the villagers know who Ax Battler is. How and why is never really explained.
You'll find out that Death Adder has taken over the area.
In the last training room of the game, you'll face Death Adder again. Beating him gives you the Jump Attack. Hold Down and press 1 while in the air to hit enemies with a downward stab.
A stay at the inn in this village will cost 12 Vases.
If you go north of the town, cross the bridge to the west and search the gray swamp tile, you'll find the Magic Stone. This item is not required, but you will need it to keep yourself from being killed by Death Adder outright, since his moves can instantly kill you.
South of North Valley is the Ice Cliffs.
Snow Slope
The enemies in this area are enemies you've met before, such as the wolves and the snakes.
Keep jumping across the platforms when you see the avalanche so you can get past it. Use the rafts you see afterwards to get across the waterfall. Use the Jump Attack to get rid of any snakes in this part, then run to get past the avalanche.
After this, you'll be taking a path to Death Adder's castle, the final area in the game.
Death Adder's Castle
As you move across the castle, spikes will jut in and out of the floor and ceiling. Be ready to jump to a platform to avoid getting impaled by them, and be ready to attack hedgehogs.
By getting to the end of each room, you will find a mirror that will take you to the next section of the castle.
The platforms with the spikes below them obviously hurt you if you jump into their undersides.
When you reach the area with the red background halfway through, you will want to watch out for arrows shooting out of the right-hand wall as you ride on the platform there. If you need to, get rid of them with your magic.
When you've reached the waterfalls, you're almost there. There will be no spikes behind the waterfalls, so feel free to use them as safe zones.
When you reach the end, you'll finally face Death Adder! Instead of a proper boss battle, Ax Battler defeats Death Adder in one swift blow and the castle blows up in the most anti-climactic ending ever, where Ax Battler takes the Golden Axe and gets on a giant eagle to show that he has brought peace back to the world. Why did we play this game again?
