Dragon Warrior I
Welcome to the Dragon Warrior 1 Walkthrough! This will give you step-by-step details on how to get what where and when to do that, unless I forget something! Yay! If You have the DW1/DW2 remix, then there are slight changes to the game. They will be put in parenthasees (). If at all possible, I could use the dragon warrior I-VI logo on a .bmp,.gif, or whatever file, to enchance the niftyness of this site. Not intellectually challenged? Then figure the game out yourself!
Dragon Warrior 1 For The Intellectually Challenged!
- First thing to do is make sure you place the Dragon Warrior cartrigde in the NES (or GB/GBC/GBA, if you have the remix). once done, turn on the power to the NES (Or Game Boy [Advance][Color]{I'll refer to all three Game Boys as GB from this point forward.}). If you are using an NES, it may not work the first time. If it fails, turn the power off, wiggle it around, and turn the power on again. If it fails after about 3-5 times of this, get something to clean off the inside thingy that looks like a circuit board and do so. Now dry it. Repeat all these steps until you see the dragon warrior logo and here the infamus theme. For GB users, pick Dragon Warrior 1 and you'll be at the title screen.
- Dragon Warrior Title Screen -- At the Title Screen, you see the logo and hear some VERY catchy music. Press Start( A for GB users, I think). Now go to Begin a New Quest or New Game or whatever. Anyway, after you pick the choice with either Begin or New in it, pick a file (1, 2, or 3). Now you can pick out a name. This is where you NES users get the cool part! NES users can have 8-character names, while GB users can only have 4! Now, pick you name by using the arrow buttons to move the curser onto each letter and press A. When you have your charactor's name in, go to End or whatever and press A. Now the adventure begins...
- Tantegel Castle -- Now King Lorik will give the infamos speech of how almighty the Ball of Light is and how Erdrick (or Loto) fought demons with it. After he's done, there are three boxes. go over to each one and press A to bring you to a menu. Move the arrow to Search and push A. (GB users will just get the chest when you stand on the chest and push A). Repeat for all the chests. Now go to the door at the bottom of the room. NES users go to the menu and pick
- Outside -- Now you are outside. if you look to the southeast, then you may see Charlock Castle, home to the Dragonlord. Also, to the Northeasteast you will see Brecconary, known as Tantegel Town in the remix. Go there. if you find a monster, I suggest running. it's not far, so you shouldn't have a problem.
- Brecconary, or Tantegel Town -- All you need to do here is go north to the weapon shop. Buy a Cypress Stick, Clothes, and a Leather Shield. Go outside after exploring a bit.
- Outside -- Make sure your items are equipted. Go to menu and find equip, then pick the items. Now walk around on the grass, trees, or hills. You'll soon find a monster. Use Fight or Attack to hit the monster. Run with make you run. Item has you use an item like an herb. Cast or Spell makes you cast a spell, if you know any. After you kill the monster, you will get gold and experiance. When you get enough experiance, you will grow a level. When you gain a level, you will get stronger, and at levels 3,4,7,9,10,13,15,17, and 18 you will learn a spell. The maximum level is 30.
- Heading for Garinham -- When you reach level 3 or 4, head northwest. You will see a cave. it's a huge waste of time, but it gives a little background ifo about Erdrick/Loto. Monsters you will find here are Drakees, Slimes, Red Slimes, Magicians, and Ghosts. When you find the town, go in it.
- Garinham -- There are really expensive equip here, but you will want a club and leather armor before leaving, and be at level 4-5.
