I recently received a copy of Dragon Warrior for my birthday. Though I usually play my Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) on weekends only, this game has me totally addicted. It has brought me infinite joy and I love it more than life itself.
However I am having a serious problem. I've reached a point where I cannot piece together the puzzle anymore. At the apex of this problem is my inability to find Edrick's armour. My character has 12,000 experience points, and I have learned many spells.
My question is, how do I find Edrick's armour? Or should I spend more time gaining valuable experience points?

Edricks armor can be found in the town with no one in it. It has been destroyed by the dragon lords minows. My advice is don't go in unless you have learned the spell "STOPSPELL", you'll need it. At the very south east of the town there is a boxed in area. Above the counter and to the right there is a patch of trees, walk on it (You'll automatically come across an AXE KNIGHT who knows the spell "Sleep". Use "STOPSPELL" and kill him. Don't run away or you'll take a step backwards and you'll have to fight him again). Search the ground there to receive Edricks Armor. This armor is one heck on a nice thing: every step you take, the armor heals you 1HP, and the swamps and barriers never hurt you again. Plus it's nearly 10 times more protective than the Magic
Armor found in Remulior (The place to get keys). Other than that, I suggest quickly finishing this game and moving on to one of the more current game consoles and buying Dragon Warrior VII, I believe that is where they are in this series of games. Enjoy! |

Hey Minstrel, I'm in the same boat as Paul and since it looks like Mario and Luigi have this one covered on all sides I'll just share a tip for changing levels in Knight Rider for the NES: Hold A+B, press Reset, release A+B and choose either mission or drive options. When Devon appears, press Up or Down to change levels.
The key is to wait until Devon appears, otherwise KIT will turn into a silver Grand AM and your radio will freeze itself on 93.9 BOB FM. Good luck! |

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about so I have no advice concerning this question. I do, however, have a nice recipe for garlic chicken:
3 tablespoons butter 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon seasoning salt 1 teaspoon onion powder Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with garlic powder, seasoning salt and onion powder. Saute about 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. |

No Worries Minstrel...I've contacted Gamepro Magazine in order to help you find the most elusive of Edrick's items. Be sure to have learned Hurtmore and Healmore before pursuing this important item in the game, in the deserted ghost town of Haukness. Good luck!
Hauksness Now that you have the way of getting to the Dragon Lord you have to prepare of yourself. Erdrick's Armor a. This is located in Hauksness. If you listened to the man in Cantlin who said that his Father's friend once had the armor. He was a shopkeeper in Hauksness. b. It is located to the far right of the town protected by a Knight. Prepare for a tough battle. c. The Knight can cast SLEEP on you so be careful, attack him with all you got. Use HEAL or HEALMORE as much as you can. If you win search the Ground and find the Erdrick's Armor. d. The armor has several special properties i. You will not receive damage on barriers ii. You will regain HP as you walk |
