  2. Unlock The Real Final Level

    To unlock the real final level and boss, you need to insert the Gradius 2/Nemesis 2 game in the second cartridge slot of the MSX while the Salamander game is inserted in the first cartridge slot. When playing the game, collect the 5 "Predictions" found in each stage (except the first stage). If done right, you'll reach the real final level, face the real last boss and get the good ending.

Salamander Cheats For Arcade Games

  1. Bypass the mini-boss in stage 6

    In stage 6 (Zelos's fortress if you're playing Salamander or the brain area if you're playing Life Force), there is a mini-boss section consisting of multiple boss ships that fire sets of 4 lasers. Move your ship all the way to the top of the screen and you will be safe until this section ends. This glitch does not work in the Japanese re-release version of the game (the one with a purple background in attract mode).

Salamander Cheats For NES

  1. 255 lives

    This glitch might be a bit difficult to pull off, but rest assured that it works. Start a 2 players game. Bring the first player's lives to 0 and the second player's lives to 1. Now position your ships right on top of each other. They have to basically look like 1 ship. Now let yourself be killed and rapidly press the A button on controller 1 to try to steal a life from the 2nd player. If done right, both players will come back to life and the second player will have 255 lives to spare.
