Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap - Every Type Of Shield And How To Get Them
Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is a charming platformer full of secrets, adventure, and dangerous enemies. At the beginning of the game, you face the formidable Meko Dragon. Sure, you will win this fight, but it costs you your equipment, body, and health, leaving you with only one heart on your health bar.

This situation presents a significant challenge, as you now have to face wave and wave of enemies with very low health to sustain the damage. But don't worry, as you can increase the amount of damage you can take by equipping shields. There are ten different shields scattered throughout this game's world — the best ones will be expensive and harder to find, and the amount of protection they provide will vary according to your current form.
After defeating the Meka Dragon, you will find yourself in the village, transformed into Lizard-Man, with the Ivory shield already in your inventory.
While you can't hold a shield or a sword in this form, you can still enjoy the extra attack or defense points this equipment provides when equipped.
As soon as you have enough gold coins, pay a visit to the local shop in the village (the one with a sword emblem on the front). There, you will be able to purchase the Mithril Shield, among other things.
After defeating the Mummy Dragon and unlocking the Mouse-Man form, you will be able to stick to checkered blocks. This unique ability will open up many new areas for you to explore.
One of them is the jungle area, located left of the village. To get there, stick to the blocks on the left side of the village and keep moving forward until you reach even more checkered blocks.
