How to unlock the The Legendary Wonder Boy achievement in Sega Vintage Collection: Monster World - Definitive Guide
LEGENDARY SWORD is created by bringing the Old Axe (from defeating the Ice Bomber) and the Fire Urn (from defeating Tyrant Dragon) to the blacksmith in Begonia. You'll have to do this no matter what since obtaining the sword is key to getting to the Dark Castle.
The last three times are found in the Dark Castle itself. The LEGENDARY BOOTS are out in the open on the right side of the mine cart track. You'll see this as you climb the rope heading into the area. You'll just have to jump off to get it.
While you'll walking on the mine cart tracks, start working on getting the LEGENDARY ARMOR by heading to the bottom left of the mine cart area and entering a secret transformation room to make Shion small (press UP at the end). Once transformed, you'll have to walk to the right, fall into the pit, and continue right while jumping over the green gremlins until you can climb the rope again and ride the cart again.
Now ride the cart again, jumping off at the last minute to reach the otherwise too high platform. Climb the rope, then ride the rope in the next area to fall down the pit. You'll see the chest with the Legendary Armor to the left, through the short tunnel only Pygmy Shion can squeeze through. Note that when you head right to exit the area, the game will force you to transform back to normal once you enter the door at the far side of the room.
The LEGENDARY SHIELD is out in view in the next room with all the spitting urchin creatures. Finally a use for Quake magic! Equip the magic, cast once to clear the floor, then ride the first rope up and cast it again to clear out the two urchins guarding the chest with the shield.
Legend Sword
Legend Armor
Legend Shield
Legend Boots
You get the Legend Sword from natural story progression, but the last three have to be obtained during the Dark Castle map.
The boots are found in on the mine cart during that portion of the map.
The armor is found by dropping into a pit after the spikes
The shield is the trickiest. You'll have to climb a rope that raises itself up automatically and then kill two of those sponge monsters. It's tricky because if you get hit, you're dropped from the rope and have to reload that screen. I got it by using the Power magic which let me kill the monsters in one hit.
After obtaining the last piece of Legend equipment the achievement unlocks.
The Legendary Equipment is very easy to obtain and its 100% free! The Sword you will get as part of the story. The rest of the pieces are in the castle that's up in the clouds. Here's their locations:
Shoes: In the minecart section, drop down a level and head all the way right. Here you will find a spring that wants to throw you up a level, but if you jump that and carry along the same level you will find a chest with your prize.
Armour: Just after that part you will climb a rope and use a smaller one to traverse some spikes. Once across drop down the hole to the right and the chest is right there.
Shield: A little trickier to get but still easy. A couple of rooms after that you come to a bunch of spitting plants on the floor. Kill all of them and equip your thunder magic. Jump on the rope on the right and ride it up. Once your near the peak use the thunder to kill everything on screen. Drop back down and go up the left rope lift. Jump to the right to find the chest.
