The shopkeeper will be selling the Mithril Armor and Shield.  You will also see that there is a question mark that he is selling.  You currently do not have enough charm points to purchase that item, but we will soon fix that.  Buy the Mithril Armor first and equip it.  Walk back into the store and you will now see that you can buy the Mithril Sword as well.  This is because the Mithril Armor boosts your charm points, just by equipping it.  The other two ways of obtaining charm points are collecting charm stones from monsters and morphing into different characters (when you gain the ability).  Check the transformation page for the different amounts of charm points each form gives you.  The higher the charm points you have, the more likely a shop keeper will sell their wares to you!

 






You probably won’t have enough money to buy all of the items in this shop, so the next step is to go money making. Hop down off the ledge and enter the door directly under the shop door.  Fall down the pit into the water and walk all the way to the right.  Hop out of the water and continue right to find yourself in a tropical area with many enemies.  The first door you see as you enter the tropical area is the way back to town, so keep that in mind as you make enough money to buy the rest of your equipment.  Kill each enemy to find enough gold to buy the rest of your equipment.  Once you are fully equipped, head back to the tropical area again.

Continue to the right, attempting to stay above the water.  If you fall in, it’s OK because you can easily get back out again.  In the first water area, just walk all the way to the right and a spring board will pop you back out to the land above.  In the second water area (with the giant fish swimming around), head all the way to the left, killing any octopus and fish you encounter.  You will reach a door that contains a chest with a few gold coins and 1 of each offensive weapon.  These offensive weapons don’t mean much in the game, unless you are in a real pinch with enemies all around you.   Once you are finished here, continue to the right through the water.  Be careful of the fireballs the giant octopus shoot because they hurt quite a bit, especially from the green octopus!  You will finally reach a door at the end of the waterway and it will lead you back to the above ground where you would be if you hadn’t fallen into the water in the first place.  Fortunately, you will probably be much richer if you did fall in!  Try to walk around killing enemies until you get 180 gold pieces, then continue to the right.  Beware of the green and blue crabs because they hit hard and they also take a few hits to bring down.  You’ll need to lead the cloud away and then duck down, shoot at the crabs and repeat the process. The hovering cloud above you will be throwing fireballs down at you while you are trying to kill these crabs, so you will have to be quick about getting the job done.  Eventually you will end up at a door at the end of the tropical area.  Enter and you will find the second shop.

You won’t be able to buy the Master Shield because of your low charm points and your low coin count.  Hopefully you collected enough for the Goblin Mail because it boosts your defense up a bit, however it lowers your charm points lower than the Mithril Armor had it.  From here on out, always equip the armor that has the highest charm points only when you are entering a shop to buy something.  Otherwise, just keep equipped the armor that has the highest defense power.  Exit the shop, equip the Goblin Mail and enter the door next to the shop door.  You will find a chest with a key you can use for the tower back in town.  Time to trek back to the town.  Gather as much gold as you can on the way back, because it’s never a bad idea to be ready in case you need to buy health or more armor.  Be careful about falling into the water this time because you will have to walk all the way back to the right to get back up on the dry land again.  Time to write down your password again.
