Escape from Meridell Castle Secrets

Fly higher
Submitted by ddaniiel
You may fly higher (up to 5 blocks higher) by tapping up instead of holding it. Most useful in levels 9 and 12, though can be helpful throughout entire game.

Level 19 secret level
Submitted by ddaniiel
Level 19 secret level has no spikes or walls, but rather a never ending freefall where one can claim up to 94 stars (any more is impossible). Unfortunately the only way to die in this level is to wait for the 5 minutes, or 300 seconds, to run out. This level is different to the level 11 bonus in that you have 300 seconds, not 10, to collect stars, and you do not progress onto the next level after finishing, you repeat level 19 again and again until your lives expire.

Sift through the ground
Submitted by ddaniiel
In the case where there is a ? box, ground 2 squares underneath (so there is a 1 gap square for Valrigard), and ground to the left of the gap and ? box, the player can shift through the ground, very useful for some of the custom games though this glitch cannot be manipulated in the game, as no ? box is ever in this circumstance. For an example level, try Join_Valrigardsguild custom game.

Play any level you wish

There is a way to play any level of this game. To do this, go to http://images.neopets.com/games/g197_v1.swf, and then in the white box put in a number (there are only 20 levels, level 20 being the boss), click the enter button, then click the play button. Its pretty sweet!

Flying free
Submitted by The Uhrenholts
On level 19 (use the URL to get there) I was playing around and found a glitch. Unfortunately not one that gives neopoints. First go and collect all of the stars. Then fall down the passage farthest on the left. You will eventually see a red door. Fly into it. You should hear a door shutting twice. Then at the top of your screen you stars should be 00/190. You will not be able to land on the platform so just fall. Although you will see spikes, Valrigard should fall right through them into darkness. From then on he will fall forever, unless you reset the game.

Flying free 2 - Bonus level

In Escape from Meridell Castle, there is a secret level you can get to. On level 19 there should be a red door go over to it and you'll here a door slam. You'll fall right through the spikes and fall forever. When your time is up you will be sent to a secret level where you fall and try to grab as many stars as you can, as you can't get most of them again. At the bottom of the room is a block. I've hit that block about twelve times and once I got 500 points and another time I got 100. If you run out of time here, you'll restart the bonus level.

Secret exit
Submitted by forcesinbalance
There is a secret exit (one of the small red doors) at the very top of level 11. Stand a tile or so to the right of the large gold door at the end of the level and fly straight up. Just before your energy meter runs out, you'll reach a bluish-white ball that refills your meter. Continue flying upward and following the balls; they start at the right and then show up in the middle of the screen. Don't miss any -- they don't come back if you fall. At the upper left of the level is a small ledge with a red door on it. Touching the door carries you to a bonus level with "J. Boogie" spelled out in stars, with a big block of stars near the bottom. You have 10 seconds to fall and collect stars. When your time runs out, you move on to level 12.

The bonus level had a glitch early on so that you could never get out, but it seems to work properly now.
