Level 5 Part 1- The Empire Strikes Back NES / Jedi Training

PLEASE COMMENT! The following is part of a video-only walkthrough of "The Empire Strikes Back" title for the original Nintendo. There are ten levels total.

LEVEL 5-Jedi Training
The path to becoming a Jedi is difficult, but rewarding. Facing no enemies that you didn't already encounter in the previous level, the trick is to navigate the maze and collect new Force Powers. Watch carefully during Luke's second raft ride...the praying mantis surprise attack is the most dangerous insta-death scenario in the game. Part 1 concludes with Luke finding the most useful Force Power this side of Levitate...Convert Force Ability to Health. It only appears once in the game, and you can pretty much assume you'll never beat the game without it.

Most people never got through the first few levels of this flawed, but impressive NES game. As such, most online reviews and videos are done only with the first Hoth level as reference. Since few online resources even have screenshots of later levels, these videos are meant for illustrative purposes so gamers can see what they missed.

hard does not equal sucks

[edward2II]

This level was so painful, having to jump everywhere, and that damn praying mantis shoots out of no where when you cross the river. Least Favorite level of all.

[ManAboutTown1000]

Dagobah was probably the hardest/most confusing level in the game and I only ever beat it once and it was by pure luck.

[G5N2Elite]

what game?

[Polaris912b]

I never got past Dagobah. The lack of saves ruined what could have been a great game. Was the same with NES Star Wars, too.
