PrinceWatercress plays DuckTales (NES) AGAIN - Part 2 of 5


Now it's time to go through Transylvania. If you know where to go, you can increase your maximum health and make this game a little easier.


Transylvania


Whenever you see a coffin, hit it with your gold swing. You may be able to find some treasure. Watch out, as you may find ghosts, too! Be sure to use it on the suits of armor as well. Either the head will fall off or the head will change into a treasure box.

The rope you see after meeting Webby will take you to Huey when you go left. Take out the Beagle Boy - who just moves back and forth and is in some important areas - and talk to Huey, and he'll tell you about the "illusion wall" in the house. Turns out there's a fake wall in this level. If you go to the left of Huey, you can find another invincibility medal that way. 

Keep going right in the same area with Huey and the mummies and you'll find a fake wall. The chest inside has another starburst icon, which will bring your HP to the maximum of five hits. Don't even bother golf swinging the coffins here, as both of them have ghosts.

The mummies are restricted by the ball and chain locked on them. Take them out of their misery by using the golf-swing on the ball to get them out of your way. You can also pogo onto their heads if you can.

The rope just before the fake wall area takes you to a seemingly unattainable chest in mid-air. Hit the rock to the left of it with the golf swing and it'll rocket into the chest, giving you an extra life. The mirror to the right takes you to the first minecart segment. Duck to avoid any low-hanging ceilings. Jumping out is simple: just hold the direction you want to go and jump.

There's another fake wall below the mirror that takes you to another room with two mirrors. This is the "illusion wall" that Huey must have been talking about. The mirror to the left takes you back to the beginning, while the one to the right takes you to the boss.

There are mine carts, but I never use them because they're not on the path that I am on. Pressing Down on the D-Pad allows you to duck down to avoid low ceilings, and holding Left or Right and pressing A will allow you to jump out of the mine cart when it's about to drop into a pit.

This is the only area where you won't find Launchpad. You'll have to get through this area as quickly as possible to get the most money.

The boss here is Magica De Spell. She turns herself into a bird, then drops down and tries to zap you with lightning bolts. When she stops before she drops down, be ready to jump and hit her with the pogo attack. Sometimes, she'll fly low enough for you to pogo her without having to wait.

When you beat her, you'll get a gold coin (which I kept thinking was something else that was gold-plated) and a cool million.
