checked-no =>Spell Items: You can use some items to cast spells for free. The Miracle Key gives you unlimited Opens, the Flute unlimited Exits, and the Wand unlimited Byes. =>Hovercraft: The hovercraft can travel over lava. =>Noah Tips - Wand: If Noah has two Wands, he can use the extra wand to escape from any battle. Equip one and leave the other in your item list. During any battle, using the Wand has the same effect as casting BYE. This gives you a handy way to conserve magic and health points! Noah can also equip the Laser Shield for defense, doubling his defense. =>Beat Medusa Early: If you can make it to the top of Medusa's Tower, you can possibly beat her early in the game. Be sure that Mayua knows EXIT, then get up the tower and battle Medusa (you might want to save in her room before you do so). Cast ROPE on Medua each round and attack and heal your party as best as you can. If it works, Medusa won't be able to turn you to stone. If you can beat her, you'll get the Laconian Axe early in the game.
