22 Jul 2018 4:39		after three hours of grinding I accidentally hit CTRL-R which resets the game making me lose all that time went from level 20 to 9
26 Oct 2018 9:12		Mastered. Pretty satisfying.
26 Jan 2019 7:18		This game was a pure slog to finish.
4 Oct 2019 20:52		Mastered!
10 Feb 2020 15:41		lmao i never knew you could bring the princess to the dragonlord! XD
13 Mar 2020 8:24		I suppose the multiple endings can be missed? Which ones are missable, if any?
23 Mar 2020 9:15		Mastered! On game completion, it doesn't save, which means you can miss on the princess achievements if you return it before getting those for NOT returning her, and "returning her in tow".
23 Mar 2020 9:17		Therefore your required (minimum?) endings, while not having returned her : Accept dragonlords' offer, "be a jerk to women", and finally "return with bagage".
7 Apr 2020 11:35		It doesn't save? You sure about that? this is one of the earliest NES games to have a save feature that wasn't password based. You just go talk to the king when it's time to save your game.
7 Apr 2020 11:41		The easiest way to get the chevos for the princess is to drop a save state right before you go to Charlock to fight the dragon lord, assuming your not in hardcore mode. Then you can pull off all of the princess related chevos on one game save.
7 Apr 2020 17:54		Yes there is saving, only it doesn't save upon beating the game, so you can kill him over and over -- however you can't grab the princess more than once, so you have to plan that out. (And Hardcore for life!)
14 Jun 2020 16:10		Clearing the game in softcore mode and then loading a save in hardcore unlocks the majority of achievements (which happened to me unexpectedly...)I think this should be patched out...
22 Aug 2020 3:19		It'd be nice if the appearance rate of the Death Necktie wasn't monumentally-low.
6 Sep 2020 19:21		Completed on hardcore from the start! Love the franchise!
7 Sep 2020 20:57		Got all the achievements! Hardest part was figuring out the names lol
2 Oct 2020 14:47		My ROM isn't activating the Achivements. :(
2 Oct 2020 17:35		Be sure you are using an emulator compatible with these achievements. I don't think the ROM itself has anything to do with it.
27 Dec 2020 3:25		Mastered! Thanks for the awesome set! :D
27 Jan 2021 23:32		Mini hint: spell radiant > torch, make copy save ~15-20lvl(missable achieve princess!), death necklace in Mountain cave bottom floor bottom chest chance 1/32(in-exit cave), hf gl!
19 Mar 2021 22:40		Replying to a previous post, the game will not save once you reach level 30. So if you're grinding, be sure to plan out your approach. Use Gwaelin's Love to check while in the field.
