What are the spells indicated on the tombs?"<br /><br />That was all cut content that was in the original. <br />1) The jade is the currency. In the original, you had to pay the priests for healing and resurrection.<br />2) The reference to a stone henge (not "the Stonehenge") is just a painting description that was lost in translation. Drakkhen was originally in French, then translated into English, then into Japanese, then back into English.<br />3) The spells on the tombs originally were a requirement to trigger the ending sequence. This and others were cut for the Nintendo port.<br /><br />More cut content:<br />* You could have two characters of the same class in your party, but they had to be of opposite genders (e.g. I played with two clerics and two scouts).<br />* Pools in castles were supposed to fill the "empty phials" in your inventory with different potions.<br />* There were 16 different potions, 16 different staves, 14 different rings (although the rings replicated the effects of staves).<br />* There were a few more items and equipment to pick up in castles.<br />* You could use the invisibility spell to get past the shark in Hordt-khen's moat.<br />* Hordt-khen's and Hordt-kha's names had an extra "T".<br />* The armourer shop was originally in the Air territory; there were no random-appearing merchants (only clue-giving travelers); the inn in Earth territory was only to get clues.Abacosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-78685914417704123852023-03-03T20:22:39.264-08:002023-03-03T20:22:39.264-08:00One day.One day.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-68261200150302552262023-02-25T00:29:22.205-08:002023-02-25T00:29:22.205-08:00Você pretende voltar algum dia?Você pretende voltar algum dia?Jonas Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874964006913627082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-72817046521535477722022-11-22T22:50:36.363-08:002022-11-22T22:50:36.363-08:00No, but it will be some time still before I get ba...No, but it will be some time still before I get back to this.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-55217433342964184972022-09-05T15:27:08.252-07:002022-09-05T15:27:08.252-07:00You haven't updated in a very long time.

I played this game a LOT back in the day, regular SNES cart. I really enjoyed it though I gotta' say it's not nearly as good as M&M2 was. Also moving around and doing most anything in this game is reeeeeeally slow. Like the inputs are delayed or something. You get used to it, but it's definitely noticable.Del_Duiohttps://dxfgames.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-51626826441976263092022-03-28T22:57:55.284-07:002022-03-28T22:57:55.284-07:00I'm glad the information is finding some use. ...I'm glad the information is finding some use.

There were hidden paths in the game that had good eq which you may not have found. One I can faintly remember was the snowy area if you go south near a row of trees there was something good. <br />Something thing that I still think was surprisingly creative was the music. Granted it is not as good as shining force or thunder force but it has some interesting songs for sure. Thanks for reviewing this!

If it's the latter, You face them, eliciting the message "another party" to appear, You HOLD THE DIRECTIONAL BUTTON FACING THEM and THEN PRESS "B". You will enter a screen to speak with the merchant and his guards.Lazzzarushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262740559993166092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-32275375259031378132021-06-24T16:40:38.251-07:002021-06-24T16:40:38.251-07:00"He who quits and runs away, lives to fight a..."He who quits and runs away, lives to fight another day."<br /><br />"Discretion is the better part of valor."Alcibiadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336909676501966344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-38567350554371793062021-05-17T08:06:40.289-07:002021-05-17T08:06:40.289-07:00Same here!
