Hydlide Cheats For NES

  1. Free Magic

    There are three ways to do this, each of which include a special cut scene:

    In the desert, destroy three Sandworms in a row with one wave of Magic Power, and a set of footprints will appear in the sand. For a short time, you'll be able to use magic without depleting Magic Power. You will know because the music speeds up. You can do this trick as many times as you can pull it off.

    In the desert, if you kill 30 Sandworms in a row (doesn't matter how) without leaving the desert, a huge Sandworm will suddenly burst out of the ground. Again, the music will speed up and you can use magic without losing magic power. You can also do this trick as many times as you can pull it off.

    Additionally, and most difficult of all, you can try collecting the Sword without collecting the Lamp first (which requires fighting through the Wisp Cave directly above the Vampire Castle in the dark!) and then head one screen South of where you begin. It will be the forest with the trees full of Wasps where you find Fairy #1. Suddenly the screen will clear and you will see a battalion of Goldams (the yellow knights from the dungeons) march by. The music will speed up and you will have free magic. This trick only works once.
