How to Play Hydlide 3: Yami kara no Hōmonsha
Quick start
Choose START on the title screen and press START. Use the D-pad and A to enter a name, B to correct it, then select けってい. Pick 戦士 for a balanced first character and accept the displayed abilities with はい. In the starting forest town, locate the shops, inn and temple before leaving. Carry food, check your load and equip purchases through どうぐをつかう in the B menu. Fight near town, avoid attacking peaceful creatures, spend earned experience at the temple and return to the inn at night to recover and save.

Hydlide 3: Yami kara no Hōmonsha — About this game
The Famicom edition of Hydlide 3: Yami Kara no Houmonsha treats preparation as part of the adventure. Four starting classes offer different strengths, but all must cope with hunger, fatigue and the weight of their possessions. Coins add to the load just like tools and weapons, so buying the heaviest equipment can leave a character worse off. Experience is spent at a temple for levels or at the magic house for spells rather than automatically turning into growth. Friendly monsters will not attack first; killing them reduces the character's heart value and affects the journey. Town conversations and investigation guide the search for the force threatening Fairyland. An inn stay restores the character and saves progress. These instructions are for the Japanese Famicom release, not the first Hydlide or Super Hydlide on Genesis.
