Level 1 Part 2- The Empire Strikes Back NES / Hoth Ice Caves

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 1: Hoth
The second ice cavern of Hoth is home to the Deflect Force Power...hidden behind snow. It's a good idea to make the trip across water to get it now, as it's one of the most useful powers available.

Your Tauntaun can't get past the great ice block, so you might as well leave it for Wampa food. The Imperial Probe Droid is Hoth's major boss, and isn't too difficult if you have a full health bar.

Check my profile for videos of the rest of the game! 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.

I always used the force that repels the shots from the droid

[pniner]

I do too, usually.

The Probe droid big boss here I jump on top of the blocks point down/diagonal and fire away wit the turbo control. Adv never hit by Probe fire and turbo makes a solid blaster beam.

The wampa looks like it's dancing, lol

Try this if you're going for a speed run.Get you lightsaber, force run and force jump in this cave. Go down to the water and go right till you come to a platform with no iceberg on the right. This is not a dead end, if you have full heath just keep normal jumping across the water till you get to the next platform. take the icberg to get the force deflect then go back to the last platform and go up. fight the Probot and finish the level skipping the Wampa boss. No muss, no fuss! Happy gaming!
