Hints For Shadow Of The Beast 2
#Description
1This trick allows you to bypass the first level boss. Jump down the waterfall and battle the Blue Water Demon. Deliberately fall off the rocks and let the water sweep you to a rope that says "GRAB". Jump on the rope, then press RIGHT to clear the small outcropping of rocks to your right. Let the current carry you again, and you'll end up past the boss and in the latter part of the first stage.

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Shadow of the Beast series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Psygnosis/Electronic Arts
RELEASED:         1991
TYPE:             Platform
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          The story of a mutant humanoid who embarks on a long and
                  dangerous quest to gain true humanity; and once having
                  found it, must embark upon another quest to save that
                  which he holds most dear.  Ported from the now-legendary
                  series of Amiga arcade games that made Psygnosis a name
                  of whispered reverence among gaming fans.

IMPRESSIONS:      Well do I remember the day when the preview disk for the
                  first game arrived at my local Amiga dealer and blew all
                  of us away with its mind-numbing graphics, spectacular
                  stereo music tracks, and intense gameplay.  It's a real
                  shame that the Genesis music is only an echo of the
                  original (not to mention a good deal of the intermission
                  artwork from the first game and the opening cinema from
                  the second), but the eye-popping graphics and
                  frustratingly hard gameplay are still there.  Handicapped
                  as they are, the Genesis ports are equal or superior to
                  the SNES versions in evey single category.  If you can't
                  find the Amiga originals, then get these!

VARIATIONS:       Shadow of the Beast (1991)
                  Shadow of the Beast 2 (1992)
                  There was a third title in the series, Shadow of the
                    Beast 3, but I have as yet found no evidence of a G/MD
                    port.  Rumors abound that there was one, but conclusive
                    proof remains lacking.

I don't understand!!! Every where I go they talk about getting a free guy from the well. What well? YOU can't even get a coin. I think everyone is confusing this game with the Sega Master System.

This game is a legend on the Amiga, and the Genesis Version is great too.
