Dragon Warrior Cheats
for Nintendo NES

Death Necklace

Go into the mountain cave and get the treasure box at the bottom that gives
you 130gp.
Do this over and over about 15 times and you will get a death necklace.
Go sell it at an item shop in Breconary.

Easy EXP

Go south of the place where you start out. You should see some hills. Go to
the bottom and walk around. You will find magidrakes, magicans, and an
occasional scorpion. They will give you about 10 gold and 5 exp.

1000 Gold

Fight the golem, defeat him any way you want, but don't enter the city. Return to the king and save your game. Turn off the system, turn it back on and restore your game, and go to fight the golem again. He will give you 1000 more gold!

Free Recovery

In Tantegel, go to the center castle and you'll see a man behind a desk on the right side of the screen. Use your HEAL magic on you until you're fully recovered, then talk to him and he'll replinish your MP (Magic Points).

There is also a chest with replenishing herbs in Edrick's cane. Go there (northwest of the castle) and go to the second floor to find it.

Edrick's Armor and Silver Shield

First, get the flute. Beat Golem, then go down, then right to a locked door. Open it and go to the guard. Buy the Silver Shield and the Flame Sword. Now go to Hauksness in Level 17. Go to the east side to a place with poison, and a row of 2 trees. Fight and kill an Axe Knight by chanting STOPSPELL, then just hit him with the sword. Kill him and search to find the armor.

Beat the Golem

To defeat the golem to enter the city, play your flute so he falls asleep, then nail him with your sword.
