Willow Ufgood
A Nelwyn farmer and aspiring sorcerer who uses magic to defend Elora Danan.
How it plays
How does Willow play?
The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. The player advances through connected stages, defeats monsters, collects treasure, and reaches boss encounters based on locations and events from the film.
Willow and Madmartigan offer different attack styles: Willow uses magical projectiles, while Madmartigan fights with his sword. Progression includes stronger equipment and useful items obtained during the quest, with exploration and combat both required to survive later areas.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Willow?
Learn enemy attack patterns before committing to close combat, especially in crowded areas and boss arenas.
- Search stages for treasure and useful items rather than rushing forward.
- Use Willow's ranged magic to control dangerous enemies from a distance.
- Use Madmartigan's sword attacks carefully, since approaching enemies exposes him to contact damage.
- Save continues for difficult late-stage encounters when possible.

Before you begin
What should you know before playing?
- 1
Choose Willow when ranged attacks and safer spacing are more valuable; choose Madmartigan when direct sword damage is preferable.
- 2
Do not ignore shops or collected equipment, because later enemies become much more dangerous without upgrades.
