Ask about this game

Capcom's mean joke: six stages, then the game asks you to run them a second time. The lance is honest. The red archer is why people still shout.

Tips

  • Start here

    Keep the lance

    Most other weapons are traps. The torch is for the last boss; everything else is worse than the starting spear. Jump-throw at the peak, not on the way up.

  • Secrets

    The true ending is two loops

    Beat Lucifer, then the princess tells you to do it again. The second loop is the real map. Continue codes exist — using one is how you learn the graves.
