Dragon's Lair CHEAT MODE: Hold down [Esc], [R], [/], [L], [N] and [7]. The screen will flash when you've done it correctly. Now press fire to see the game being completed by the computer. Dragon's Lair Docs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By: Skylark / Canada Dsk1 Screen 1 (Opening Bridge-This will always be first!) ~~~~~~~~ Watch Dirk The Daring walk across bridge until he falls through. When the "Things" come toward you, hit the BUTTON and watch Dirk take a swipe at them. Then, hit UP and you will raise yourself up to the bridge again, and run into the castle. Screen 2 (DrinkMe Sign-This will always be second!) ~~~~~~~~ This one is a tuffy! When the "DrinkMe" sign flashes, hit RIGHT; Dirk The Daring will bravely kick the door open to the right of him and stomp out. -Screen 1 Repeats, laterally inverted!- Dsk2 Screen 3 (The Falling StairWell-This may come after Screen 4....) ~~~~~~~~ You will either be walking left or right down the stairwell. If you are moving left, when the stairs ahead of you flash, hit LEFT. If you are going right, hit RIGHT. You will jump over the hole in bridge and continue... Do not mind the bats, they are there for decoration!! Screen 4 (The Tentacles-This may come before Screen 3....) ~~~~~~~~ As soon as the tentacle drops from the ceiling, hit BUTTON! Dirk will then slash it. As soon as you slash it, hit UP. You will go to the front of the room. Then hit RIGHT or LEFT (depending on where the door is), and you will go to the door. Then hit DOWN and you will goto the back and automatically start going up the stairs, at this point, hit LEFT or RIGHT (depending on where the little table is.) As soon as you get on the table, hit UP and you will go out the door in a few seconds. WARNING: IF YOU HIT MORE THAN ONE MOVE YOU WILL DIE! Just hit the move once and wait for it to take affect!! -Screen 3 and 4 will repeat again laterally inverted!- Dsk3 Screen 5 (Ye WhirlPools/Ye Rapids-This may come after Screen 6...) ~~~~~~~~ You will start off with the Ye Whirlpools. If the whirlpool is on the right, hit LEFT; if on the left, hit RIGHT. You will easily use your manouvering abilities to steer carefully around them. NOTE: Don't hit left or right more than once, or you will be sucked in! Then come the Ye Rapids. Now on my A2000, all you do is hit LEFT or RIGHT (depending on the direction of the light blue path), then when I get into the middle, I hit UP and go all the way down (Both Screens..) But I've heard other stories and this is what I've been able to piece together... If you have an A500 (hahahaha): Do what I do (above), but the second screen, hit UP one more time. If you have an A1000, do what I do, then on the second screen, hit up twice. (Once on each of the two levels). Experiment.. One of these techniques is sure to work but I can only confirm my way. Screen 6 (Slime Stew-This may come before Screen 5...) ~~~~~~~~ On this screen, you mainly watch... You will dodge the slime, then pick up a drink automatically. Then, the Slime Goon will appear, hit BUTTON and you will slice him. Just watch the rest of the board. - Screen 5 & 6 will appear again laterally inverted! - Dsk4 Screen 7 (The Black Knight-This may come after Screen 8...) ~~~~~~~~ First, make note of what side the Black Knight's sword is on. If it is on the left, you will have to hit RIGHT first. You then jump right. Right after this, hit LEFT... Then UP... Then LEFT... Then RIGHT... Then Left... As jumping left now in mid-air hit RIGHT because you don't have anytime to spare once you land. (Remember, better early than never!) If it is reversed, just do the above backwards. This is one of the "Most-Moves" boards so eventually you'll get the hang of it. Screen 8 (Marble Madness-This may come before Screen 7...) ~~~~~~~~ You will appear in the distance walking casually at the end of the half-pipe. Then, a huge black ball will appear behind you wanting to make Autie-Em's World Famous Pancakes out of you. The screen will change angles and you will see a coloured ball go by. As soon as it goes by, hit DOWN. Then, another coloured ball will go by; again, as soon as it passes, hit DOWN. This is all you do, there will be a few more balls to get by, but if you can do one, the rest is really simple! WARNING: DON'T HIT DOWN MORE THAN ONCE PER BALL! When you run by successfully, it looks really close... It is supposed too! - Screen 7 & 8 will repeat again laterally inverted! - Dsk5 Screen 9 (The Bedroom Wall-This will come first!) ~~~~~~~~ Pretty simple. Just keep hitting UP at a leisurely pace and you will get through, listen for when the game records your specific up moves and when you get better, you won't have to hit up rapidly... But I still do anyway because it guarantees me getting through. - This screen will repeat again laterally inverted! - Screen 10 (Dragon's Lair Part I-Computer Randomly Chooses Which ~~~~~~~~~ Lateral Screen You Will Do.) You will see a wobling bunch of "furniture". Hit LEFT or RIGHT (depending on where it is...) Then it will flash to the Dragon who starts to wake up and Princess Daphne (or something) says "Oh, save me!" Then it will flash back to you - hit RIGHT or LEFT (the opposite direction of the furniture), then DOWN. You will go onto another screen with more furniture. This time, hit DOWN to catch it. Then you will see the Princess moving around in the bubble saying, "Use the Magic Sword!".. As she is saying this, hit the BUTTON and then when she stops yapping, you will see the magic sword in a rock. Dsk6 Screen 11 (Dragon's Lair Part II-Computer Randomly Chooses Which ~~~~~~~~~ Lateral Screen You Will Do.) You will be behind a tree... Hit down to duck Singe The Dragon's mighty claws. * MAKE NOTE OF WHERE THE DRAGON'S HEAD WAS! * After ducking, go in the direction Singe's head was. Then, you will automatically rip the magic sword out of the rock... Then, you get another screen showing you and the Dragon waving his tail. Hit DOWN to dodge, and while you dodge it, on the way down, take note of the timing at which your sword glows. Right after you dodge the tail for the first time, Singe will try again, just hit DOWN again. Again, make note of the timing. After you dodge it for the second time, Singe will try yet another time to get you... This time, hit DOWN (like usual), but this time when the sword glows (or a touch earlier), hit the button and you will whip the sword into the dragon. T H E * E N D NOTE: NEVER, IF UNSURE, HIT EXTRA MOVEMENTS AS THEY USUALLY TURN INTO UNPLEASANT DEATHS!!!!! I hope this helps all you's that can't finish Dragon's Lair yet, but this has been a bitch to explain in words...
