The Duel


 * Not to be confused with Golden Axe: The Duel.

The Duel is a gameplay mode from Golden Axe (Genesis version) and Golden Axe II where the player fights against several enemies. In Golden Axe III, the Duel mode is replaced by the similar Vs Mode.

Golden Axe
The player selects one of the playable characters (Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead) to duel against several enemies with a single life.

Golden Axe II
Like the first game, a single player duels against several enemies in a single life, or two players battle between themselves.

Golden Axe III
The player selects one of five characters (Kain Grinder, Sara Burn, Proud Cragger, Chronos "Evil" Lait, and Eve) to battle against five opponents: The other four characters and a mirror match. The player can also choose between four arenas to fight: The Vast Field, Cave of Crystal, Death Mountain or Cursed City. The player wins if he manages to defeat all five opponents.
