Duck Tales Guide > Transylvania

The last place on your tourist route should be Transylvania. From the start, head right to the suit of armor. Along the way, you'll notice skeletal ducks that can only be hurt when they're running; don't waste time on them when they've collapsed into invulnerable heaps. At the armor, head up the stairs to find Webby.

Left of Webby, there's a treasure chest. Break it open to grab an invincibility medallion. With that flashing, hop up past Webby and down the stairs to the right. Run to the rope, then climb up the rope to the next room above. There's a Beagle Boy guarding your captive nephew on a ledge to the left, so stomp it with your pogo cane or swing a block its way. You'll learn that this level has an illusion wall.

We'll get to the wall soon enough. For now, drop back down to the ground level in this room, and head left to the series of blocks to the left. There's an invincibility medallion there, if you want it. Head back right and go down the rope you just recently climbed. From there, work to the right.

You'll come to a series of tombstones. Ghosts drift through the air here, and they can't be harmed by your cane. Avoid them as you press onward. You can swat the second and fourth tombstones here to snag some large diamonds, if you like. The others all contain ghosts.

When you reach the end of the hallway with the tombstones, you'll find a rope leading down to the room below. Descend it and note the suit of armor to the right. If your health is low, stand on the ground next to the armor and hit its head with your cane. You'll reveal a treasure chest that contains a cake. With that done, head left. You'll find blocks overlooking a spike-line corridor below. Bounce down and pogo across the spikes leading left, where you'll find a room full of treasure chests that contain diamonds worth a total of $120,000. Step into the mirror to the left to warp back to the first mirror you saw in the stage (the one you enter when coming from the African Mines).

Climb up the stairs to the right again, and note that Webby is gone now. Continue right and climb the rope up into the next room, but this time head to the right. You can swing your cane at the black balls here to take out the mummy before it harms you. At the end of that short hall, another mummy is on a ledge overhead. Defeat it and break open the two treasure boxes for two more large diamonds. Then from there, hop to the right and take out the waiting mummy.

From there, drop down to the ledge just below the rope, where yet another of the mummies waits. Defeat it with a bounce from the pogo stick (easier than swinging the black ball) and continue right past yet another mummy. You'll see a tombstone. Hop on it and walk through the wall to the right (it's the 'illusion wall' your nephew mentioned). Here you will find an extension to your life meter, if you didn't already grab it on a previous trip to the area.

With that collected, you should go ahead and return to the staircase where you found Webby. From there, pogo over to the ceiling at her left. Walk along it to the left until you reach a dead end, then press 'up' on your controller to climb a hidden rope. Climb up into the next room, and you'll find a treasure chest to the left with a large red diamond worth $50,000. Jump in the air above it to find another large diamond. To the right, you can break open that box to reveal another of the large red diamonds, while the air above it contains yet another of the large yellow diamonds.

After those have been collected, climb the rope up into the next room. Move to the right and you can break blocks to drop down and collect items from two treasure chests, which contain an ice cream cone and another large red diamond. Press right and you'll find a chest that contains a 1-up icon. There's also a rope here, which you'll want to go ahead and descend.

You're now in a long armor hall. Move to the right and swing at the armor's helmet to clear the way and collect a cake. Continue past the first mummy, and collect an ice cream cone from that recess if you need it before hopping up to deal with the second mummy. When he's defeated, drop down to the next ledge and defeat a third mummy. Then move right and you'll find a circular block.

Look to the right, over the gap where a rope dangles, and you'll see a treasure chest hanging in the air. Swing your cane at the block so that it knocks the treasure chest out of the air to land on the enemy below. That treasure chest contains another 1-up icon.

Walk through the wall to the right (it's another 'illusion wall') and you will find a room with two mirrors. Before taking a mirror, go to the wall along the right and pogo upward to collect a hidden, large red diamond worth $50,000. Now enter the mirror on the right side.

Move left through this hallway, avoiding the ghosts that swoop down to attack, and you'll soon encounter the area boss.

Magicka D'Spell


I'm not sure the spelling on her name is right, but I remember her name from the cartoons. This wacky witch attacks by turning into a large, goofy-looking bird that will flap about the room's lower levels.

When it flies at its lowest level, you can hit the bird form with a well-timed pogo stick. From time to time, it will land so she can revert to her former appearance and send out a spread shot of lightning bolts. You can hit her while she is doing this, as well.

Then she'll return to bird form, and alternate between the two at will. Just attack when possible, and avoid her when she's out of range, until you've hit her enough times that she calls it quits. Your reward is the last of the treasures.
