Dragon Warrior 1 - Game cheats, tips and tricks for Gameboy Color

Betray the kingdom
------------------
Rescue the Princess before you fight the Dracolord. Take her with
you to the final battle and the Dracolord will ask for her. You
have now have the choice of answering "Yes" or "No" to his request.

Easy money
----------
Find a place that sell repellent for 12 gold. They will pay you19
gold if you sell it to them, or anyone else that buys items from you.
Buy as many repellents as you can, then sell them to someone. Buy,
then sell, and repeat.

Go to the place that sells keys for 16 gold, then exit and re-enter.
Sell them at a weapons shop for 26 gold, which is a larger profit
than the repellent trick.
