Secret of Mana is my oldest RPG game (pick up this game around 26 years ago, when i was 10-11 year old.) I am played game through casually many times, but never are make any challenge things before. So lets try beat game without equip/pick up/buy any armors. Yes its brutal.
Hero: Overalls
Sprite: Midge Robe
Girl: Kun Fu Suit

Only starting armors are equiped, but you never buy any armors entire game. Yes late game enemys in Mana Fortress and Pure land will take 400-600 energy away per hit and technically kill you instantly. But how ever late game contains a lot awesome magic. When i test mana fortress its not seems that horrible hard, but still unforgive at least last tier when master ninja & fiend head take whole team instantly RIP. Unlike Secret of Evermore, there is not thats cheap techs, so this is a lot tougher one than Evermore no armor gameplay

This will be glitchless, but all regular game techs is allowed:
1: Multicast
2: Magic cancel using midge hammer or mooglebelte (its mandatory here)
3: Yes you are allowed cheat death using healig when you are still alive (This is mana beast Tech) Its not glitch, actually game bug. You will see it later.

Part 7. Final 2/3. Pure Land.
Enemys in Pure land is dangeorus one. Those mushglooms are most annoying, just very quick and used wall. Make it very tedious to pass or kill.

Final magic grind added at end and cut of later. I did bit mistake when i redo my dryad magic lv 7 way too close lv 8. Those special effects not was very good thing in next segment. Just better keep it level 7. LV8 luna is good though because magic absorobs is more effective. Its still quite weak against bosses.

About girl magic. Also be careful too when redo Wall magic. Just let it level 6, because higher one is annoying to dispell and those bounce magic is very crap, if this happen wrong place. You never need use actual wall spell, but level 6 Dryad keep your manasword alive a longer and its extrmely useful against final boss, which is pretty tough fight.

Lumina was only spell girl (redo lv 8) I´ll guess lucid barrier block some better when level 8. Also Luna level 7. Thats because final boss requires use some moon power..
