How to Play The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight
Quick start
Press START on the title, and after the prologue press A to select "Beginning" and "Story 1/2". At the Adventurer's Guild, first create an adventurer using ``Tour Friends'' and form a party of up to 5 people, including warriors and wizards. The first person selected will be lined up in the front, so it will be more stable if you place an ally with high physical strength in the vanguard. After starting with "Exit", record the direction and number of steps in the maze, and use B's normal commands to investigate, magic, formation, map, etc. After making important progress or growth, select "Tabino Kiroku" at the travel inn and save it frequently.
