  5. Gold Ring

  6. Getting the Shaman Ring

    To obtain this, go to the left of the Condemned Tower, then down after the Harpy pathway. In this area, there will be a lot of Medusa Heads. If you fall on the right side, you'll find a slot machine with the number "573" on it.
    The slot machine will spin to the last three digits of your gold count (if you have 1,945 gold, it'll spin to 945, etc.) If your last three gold digits are "573", then the slot machine will slowly move out of your way.
    If you don't have your last digits at "573", go to The Lost Village. All the lampposts you can break, especially the one in Hammer's Shop, are great for collecting money. Blue coins give $1, Bronze give $10, Silver give $50, and Gold give $100. Make sure you know the coin amounts, since the procedure is pretty important.

    After you get "573" as the last digits, go back to the slot machine. It'll erode away, and inside will be the Shaman Ring. It increases EXP gain which is pretty useful when you want to level faster.

  8. All endings

    Worst Ending: During the second battle with Dario Bossi, simply beat Dario.

    Bad Ending: During the second battle with Dario Bossi, use the Paranoia soul to enter the mirror. After you beat the new boss, Aguni, go back to the other side of the mirror and get the magic seal. Go to the center of the castle and enter the boss door without Mina's tailsman equipped.

    Best Ending: Use the Paranoia soul to fight Aguni, pick up the magic seal, and go back to the center of the castle. When you enter the boss door have Mina's tailsman equipped. You will now get a more extended version of the game and all you have to do is beat it.

  9. Triple 7 Statue in the Garden of Madness

    In between the Garden and the Chapel is a vertical staircase going down. On the right hand side of the staircase is a golden statue bearing the number 777. In order to get past this statue, the last three digits of your gold amount must be 777. The statue will move, giving you access to a room with the 'Three 7s' clothing, which boosts your Con., Int., and Luck by 7 points each.
