Frequently Asked Questions

Certainly! Here the fundamentals tips:

1. Use the gamepad to master Ash and Tor’s movements.
2. If you get stuck (and in danger) with Ash, go ahead and waste you coins to use the special.
3. If you can’t get Ash and Tor to line up at the exit, use Tor’s special to stop his movement.
4. The critical hit allows you to recover some life: being lucky is important.
5. Only Ash can dodge hits: think seriously to raise his dexterity.

Other tips:
- When you got the opportunity, try to get stuck with one character, then move only the other character.
- Holy sword is a very good item, expecially in early game. Consider to keep it if you find it.
- Dont’ waste all keys at the beginning of frozen dungeon.
- If you’ve equipped a good item, don’t waste all money with goblin, use it instead for specials!
- If you find the “lighting orb” item in early game, you maybe consider to keep it and never boost up your vision skill.
- Use Tor’s special only when you have less than 1/4 of his health points, you will recover more life.
- The “Tome of knowledge” if a very good item if found in early game. Discard it after half game.
- Fury is less effective in late game and obviously the item “Fury charm” is less useful in late game.
- If you don’t have “Spiked boots” and keep sliding in Frozen Dungeon, let enemies block your path.

Boss fights:
- At stage 6, stuck one of the characters, then hit the button with the other (on hard mode you cannot do it, so you must walk very fast).
- At stage 12, if you are next to barrels there is a chance to block it after a boss jump.
- At stage 18, before the slimes jumps, go and position in the top-right side of the screen.
- At stage 24, run as fast as you can and… avoid flames!

Free the girls:
- You must have a strong ‘build’ over Tor in order to free Ige at stage 6.
- After 2 wins you’ll unlock the “spiked boots”: this will be the perfect moment to repeatedly try to free Astra at stage 12.
- You must be rich in order to free Shanthi, at stage 18, so do a run without wasting your money (hard mode only).
- Only an “holy” item let you to free the Queen Yuma at stage 24, so keep it in mind!

The Golden Coins and the Nutaku Bears:
You must have the “Ero+ version” of Ash and Tor to see these illustrations (you can buy this version from Nutaku Official Page). Only by playing the hard mode you will unlock golden coins. Nutaku Bears will appear randomly into final stage’s chests.
