After you create your character, you are put into World 1 of Hero's Arms. After quickly talking to the guy you first see, Head into the house for some helpful items. Once inside the house, Open each chest by pressing the attack button (Z) in front of the chest. Please note that Z is normal attack and X is SPECIAL/MAGIC attack. You will get 50 coins and a small power elixer from the chests you just opened. I recomend that you do not go into any dungeons (The castle's or caves that are shown on your map) until your level 5 and have upgraded all skills at least once. Please note that you have to go to a place for it to show on the map, Also, Dungeon insides will not show unless you are in the dungeon. SHOPS: When you come across the town area or find a less pricy shop in a dungeon, you can buy stuff. You must earn coins to buy stuff and you earn coins by killing monsters which are randomly scattered across the map. Items in the shop include: Magic soda (WHICH RESTORES MAGIC), Bandaid (EXTRA LIFE), Power Elixer (IT GIVES YOU EXP INSTANTLY), Chicken (IT RESTORES LIFE) and some Weapons. CASTLES AND DUNGEONS: There are a couple dungeons scattered around the map. The castles are bosses and the caves are the places that you encounter smaller, less deadly enemies which are together a lot. I reccomend that you go in the caves or "Dungeons" before you enter any of the castles for special weapons and defensive items. Not all dungeons will give you items, some are shops and some might just lead you into a place where you find a whole bunch of chests. The castles are homes of bosses and a bigger, harder group of monsters. Certain parts of castles require you to solve puzzles. The hard part about that is that you don't know where to try to solve a puzzle (We'll tell you later). To get to certain castles and places, you must have certain weapons, which you can find in dungeons or castles. This also acounts for puzzles. At the end of each castle, after defeating the boss. You will either get a weapon or defensive item of some kind, or get part of a diquise. Please note to get into the final castle (Which you will have to get to 2 times) You must collected all parts of a disquise. MAP: I am now going to provide a full map of world one, Please zoom in to look at it. (This is not the map you would have seen in normal map view.)

UPGRADES: Simple, Magic= Less of magic cost and more damage in magic. Health= More defense and increase number of hits you can take. Attack= Higher overall damage (Crititical and normal).
Now that you are way more comftorable with the game you should be able to start. I will guide you starting from the first castle, first I reccomend you complete all dungeons in the grassy areas.
