By scoring between 120 hits and 199 hits, he will be rewarded with a rare treasure like an Ancient Gold Piece or a Mystic Jade. Obtaining over 200 hits will reward Link with a Regal Ring or an Alchemy Stone. If Link attacks the three soldiers from 900 to 999 times, Russell bestows him with the title of captain.
