Items
Bread
You gain about 32 HP.
Meat
(Larger one)
You gain much more HP than Bread.
If you eat it when your HP is full, you gain DP instead.
(IMPORTANT!!!)
Power
(Smaller one)
Gains HP and AP.
Dynamite Cherry
You will be hyper for a while.
Potions
Life Up
Life Down
Life Full
Poison - Throw at floor guards !
Life Max Up
Life Max Down
Hyper - Good for quick kill
Search Light
You can look all the floor map. But not important.
Pot
You can stock items in it (maximum 5).
To get items out, throw the pot. But it will be broken.
NOTE: You can not put a pot into another pot.
Book
You can identify the nearest item/enemy.
Bone
You can throw it against enemies. Useful for floor guards.
(Max 3 times) You can not get no money (crystal?) by selling it.
Crystal
Sell it. Maybe there is a shop for selling on the floor.
Shop Capsule
If you throw it on a empty floor, it creates a shop for buying.
Balance up
If you have it in your left hand (that is, an item picked up first),
you can use an item in your right hand (an item picked later)
with bonus. Usually effect of items is doubled, but if you have
a book, you can identify not only enemies' HP, but also
their level, AP and DP.
Heart
A Violent Mouse on level 2? (I forgot) has it. You can gain a heart
safely (without risk that your HP becomes 1.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Floors
Special guards floor
For approximately every 3 levels, you must defeat one of 8 characters you
can use, or one of special enemies (Dullahans, Sylphs, Knights, or Demons)
to go to the next level. Call such levels SPECIAL GUARD FLOORS.
On First 6 special guard floors, you must defeat just one of two, but on
level 24 or deeper, the mazes of the special guard floors change, and you
must win against both of them.
Boss floor
Adding to special guards floors, there is another type of special floor
(level 10 and 20). There you must fight against Mufu or Snork.
Let us call these levels BOSS FLOORS.
You must go through this level carefully because THE NEXT LEVELS OF
BOSS FLOORS ARE SPEICIAL GUARD FLOORS !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monsters
Puppet
White Puppet
They are weak. They rarely do low attacks.
Ghoul
They have long arms, so it is difficult to throw them.
They also rarely do low attacks.
Gray Mole
Brown Mole
They are moles. (Nothing to write.)
Dullahan
Black Dullahan
They have low HP, but be careful with their high AP !
Madmouse
Wild Mouse
Violent Mouse (B25?)
They like throws.
Unseen Monster
Green Unseen
I am not sure which part of them I should attack.
Middle attacks are meaningless? Tell me if you know the answer.
Red Frog
Green Frog
Yellow Frog
Brown Frog
Frogs use throws which we can not escape from them (4+G+M).
If you are caught by them, it may be a good idea to use
44 (back, back) to escape from their grab.
In addition, care of Yellow Frog's triple dragon punches.
Green Lizard (B12)
Black Lizard
Red Lizard
Blue Lizard
Lizards have short hands, so they can not use throws. (At least
I have never been thrown.) Check their low attacks with their tails.
Oannes
He/She has no friends.
Have you ever seen Small/Big/Giant/Green/Red Oannes ?
Penpen (a kind of a pet name for penguins)
Violet Penguin
(Emperor)
The first Penpen has only 128 HP's, but you must not be deceived !
Other Penpens and Violet Penguins have much more HP.
Small Mammoth
Mammoth
Big Mammoth
Giant Mammoth
They are the most dangerous enemies !
You can not win Udan's dungeon unless you can escape from their
throws.
Sylph
Armored Sylph
Sylphs occur only on special guard floors.
Red Knight
Gold Knight
Knights also occur mainly on special guard floors,
but they also appear on usual floors near the bottom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hints
Who should we use to win easily? I am not sure, but I like to use
GREN. You can complete the dungeon only by using his H M M attacks.
In hyper, Gren can kill any enemy with his middle punches rush (M,M,M,M..)
How to identify potions ? *I* do it by throwing potions against
enemies until I identify poison and life max down. If you give a hyper
potion to your enemy, you are just unlucky. Try again.
Some people drink Life Max Up Potion with Balance, but I do not recommend
it. Instead of it, I think you should use Balances with Meats to gain DP.
If you raise your Max HP too much, it is very difficult to gain your DP.
Be careful when you eat Meat (larger steak). Since you can gain DP to
eat Meats when your HP is full, you should eat Meats when you have no
damage. But you would often find Meats when you have low HP. Even in
such cases, you should search around, and try to fill your HP by eating
other foods and potions before eating Meats. If it seems to be impossible,
then eat them to gain HP.
If your hands are full, but there are more items around, one solution is to
drink a hyper potion or eat a dynamite cherry at the entrance to the next
level and rush.
You must not fight near a "Heart Block". Because...
When your life is full, you might step on the block
while fighting. You gain a heart, but your HP becomes 1 pt.
If the enemy's attack is hit, you lost the heart.
When your life is not full, your enemy might step on
the block instead of you. He/she gains a heart.
For the same reason, you should not fight near a shop for selling.
Think a lot before you put an item in your pot. I recommend you should put
only Hyper, Life Full and Poison potion in it. Whatever else you should use
on that level.
You have to always consider where the special guards and boss floors are.
You can also use a dynamite cherry or poison when you must fight against
special guards and bosses. If you used hyper potion to kill these enemies,
there may be some hyper time remained, so rush into the next level.
It takes about 1 minute to genocide all the enemies on one level with hyper.
You must be able to escape Mammoths' throw. Otherwise, you can not go
through Level 29. (It also be possible to go to the exit as directly as
possible with a search light, but it is still better if you can escape.)
Mammoths uses Oliem's normal throws. So train yourself.
The last boss TORI, I thought he was extremely powerful, maybe in addition
poison resistant. But, it was wrong. You can use poison against him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion
Level 30 - The Bottom
At level 30, the last level, you must defeat UDAN and the last (maybe)
secret character, TORI. If you succeed and get a huge crystal, you can
now use TORI.
Who is TORI ?
The full name of TORI is Akira Toriyama. He is the character designer of
Tobal No.1. He is also known as a very famous manga writer in Japan.
Some of you have heard of his titles, "Dragon Ball" or "Dr. Slump".
TORI in Tobal No.1 is often appeared in Dr. Slump as his self-portraited
manga character. In Tobal No.1, HE IS WEAK. It is because he is not
a fighter, but just a manga writer...
