The warrior of Argos finally has the book he deserves!
If you know anything about the Nintendo NES library, you know that Rygar is said to be impossible to complete in the European version. The Fan Book vol.2 comes back on this rumor and proves it wrong while explaining you why the end boss is so difficult. But that's only a very small part of what the book is about. As usual with Fan Books, the reader comes away from the book having become knowledgeable about the game being discussed.
This volume is divided into several sections allowing for a comparison of the game in all its forms and through all its adaptations. Each section is full of details and anecdotes accompanied by numerous illustrations.
General presentation: 4 pages.
This section presents the original game, its concept and its adaptations. Each of the adaptations is shown via its original box, allowing collectors to build up a database.
This section provides an overview of the original version and all its adaptations. It allows the reader to learn about each of the subtleties of the game and its adaptations. Numerous anecdotes punctuate the whole and give an overview of the work of the adapters.
The scenarios of all adaptations of the arcade version are included in this chapter. The differences are clearly mentioned and the general story is kept with the presentation of the introduction and ending texts and images.
This section presents all the items available in all the adaptations of the original arcade version. Each item or group of items has its own description with variations of names, effects and utility.

This chapter goes over each creature of the game, including bosses, and details their strengths and weaknesses or the differences between races. The whole is accompanied by anecdotes about their mention in the manual or about the various names used in Japan, America and Europe.

Rygar's complete solution allows you to complete the game regardless of its version, but the European adaptation will remain more difficult due to parameters inherent to the game itself.

Maps show which routes to use and in which order.
Battles against creatures, especially bosses, are mentioned and accompanied by strategic advice.
