Treasures
Ten treasures need to be collected in order to complete the game. Once collected, the treasures are given to a demon who will complete a single task in return. If all ten treasures cannot be recovered (for whatever reason), the demon will accept the sword itself in place of one of the treasures. The sword can also be used as payment to one of the gnomes (see below) if the player finds himself stuck in either the bank or the volcano.
