Tips & Hints

March 1993 Versions:

Magical items - These items last for about 30 seconds, then they disappear. If you have two of the same type of magical item at the same time, then you will have 60 seconds of use, for three - 90 seconds of use, etc:

Purple potions - Hits monsters with more power every time they are shot, allows red and orange bullets to pass through walls that you can't walk through and reduces the damage you take.

Green potions - Reflects enemy bullets back at the enemy, damaging them as one of your red bullets would.

Gray cloak - Enemies and their bullets pass right through you. The only way to die with these is to fall down a hole.

Blue cloak - Enemies shrivel up and die upon your contact with them when you are wearing this cloak.

The only way to kill grey-robed enemies that shoot purple balls at you is to be wearing a blue cloak, and run into them.
