                THE LEGACY (6) PUZZLES AND SOLUTIONS

        Here it is!  The section that I suspect many will go to first. The
following is a list of all of the game puzzles in "The Legacy", along with
the details of each of their solutions.


****6.01 - The Ground Floor (Level 1)****

Puzzle:  How do I stop the Zombies from attacking me?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The Zombies will not attack you if you are carrying the Juju Fetish
(Level 1, room # 38) in your hand when you encounter them.  (Note: they will
fight back if you attack them first, even if you are carrying it!)

Puzzle:  What is the significance of the warlock painting?
Room #:  1
Solution:
        The warlock painting actually hides a secret door. If you examine the
painting, you will see that there is a hole where on the necklace worn by the
warlock with shards of green glass in it. The secret door can be opened by
placing the green gem (Level 2, room # 44) in the hole.

Puzzle:  How do I get the statue out of the glass case?
Room #:  1
Solution:
        Simply break the glass by using a heavy object (such as the vase
in room #1) or by shooting the case.

Puzzle: How do I open the doors which are nailed shut.
Room #:  1
Solution:
        None;  you can't open them.

Puzzle:  How do I open the secret door?
Room #:  5 & 36
Solution:
        Simply walk through the wall. If you watch your movement arrows,
you'll notice that when you are adjacent to a secret door of this type, the
arrow pointing in the direction of the door will remain red (thus indicating
that movement in that direction is still possible).

Puzzle:  How do I get the key without falling through one of the trap doors?
Room #:  28
Solution:
        There are two buttons just inside the door to the room. Press both of
the buttons, and the trap doors will both disappear.

Puzzle:  How do I open the safe?
Room #:  31
Solution:
        The safe can be unlocked with the security key (found in Level 1,
room #5)

Puzzle:  What do I do about that "green thing with tentacles"?
Room #:  38
Solution:
        Nothing. This is a Lurker, and it will not harm you as long as you
leave it alone. You will encounter many of these throughout the house; you'll
be just fine as long as you keep them out of the line of fire.

Puzzle:  How do I get past the swinging chains?
Room #:  41
Solution:
        Step toward the center of the room just as the chains begin to swing
out away from the center.

Puzzle:   EEEK!  The lights went out!  What do I do?
Room #:  Variable
Solution:
        This is a problem which can be encountered on any level, but you'll
see it here first. There are a number of solutions:  (1)  find a flashlight
or lantern and light it; (2) cast the spell "Sight of the Dark Walker"; or
(3) locate the fuse box for the level and turn on the lights. The fuse boxes
may not be in working order (as is the case on Level 1). If this is the case,
you must use the electronic tool kit (found 1n Basement Level 1, room #25) to
repair the fuse box.

Puzzle:  What do the red runes mean?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Each of the red runes represents an entry point to the Ethereal Plane.
The runes can be activated by casting the "Dimensional Rift" spell  (Level 3,
room #3) on the rune.

Puzzle:  How do I get into room #13?
Room #:  13
Solution:
        There is no key to this room - you must either force the door or use
the "Key of the Shadow Lord" spell (Level 3, room #38) or a mechanical tool
kit to unlock the doors.


****6.02 - Daemons and Ghosts (Level 2)****

Puzzle:  What do the numbered doors mean, and why isn't my map mapping
         anymore?
Room #:  1-7
Solution:
        Door 7 is locked, and there is knocking coming from inside the room.
In order to unlock door 7, you must walk through doors 1-6 in numerical order
without back-tracking and re-opening any of them. Once you have completed the
sequence, the map for this section of the level will appear, and door 7 will
be unlocked. If you break the sequence, you must start over at door 1.

Puzzle:   How do I avoid being zapped when I follow the wandering woman?
Room #:  15, 16, 32, 33, 38, 39, 40
Solution:
        Don't bother following her. She is just an illusion, and she can't
hurt you or interact with you. Each of the "zap traps" is marked by a
bloodstain on the floor. Adjacent to each of these, are buttons which, when
pushed, will teleport you safely past the traps.

Puzzle:  Why can't I watch television?
Room #:  18
Solution:
        You need to insert the Video Tape (found in Level 1, room #31) in
order for the television to work.

Puzzle:  How do I open the secret door to room #49?
Room #:  48
Solution:
        Press the center of the mantel above the fireplace.

Puzzle:  How do I get down this hallway?
Room #:  51
Solution:
        In order to pass through the force field, turn and face the side of
the corridor, and walk sideways down the hall.

Puzzle:  I can't move more than one step from the corners of the southwest
         corridor!
Room #:  Southwest Corridors
Solution:
        Movement is reversed in these corridors; to move forward, click the
backward arrow; to move left, click the right arrow; etc.

Puzzle:  How do I get rid of the Ghosts?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Holy Water makes a good weapon against the Ghosts. However, you can
get rid of all of the ghosts on the level by using the matches (Level 2,
location #15) to burn the painting of the Melchoir Cult (in Level 2, room
#25).

Puzzle:  How do I get rid of the Daemons?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Holy Water is the best weapon against the Daemons, but attack spells
work well too. You can usually dodge the Daemons' spells by turning sideways
just after the spell is launched.

Puzzle:  The worm in the toilet keeps "savaging" me!
Room #:  Several
Solution:
        Don't open the toilets; there is nothing in them which is of any use
to you.

Puzzle:  Those little demon statues in the bedrooms keep attacking me!
Room #:  Several
Solution:
        Leave them alone, and they'll leave you alone. You don't need to
touch them; the demon statues you are looking for are much larger.

Puzzle:  How do I open the doors which are nailed shut?
Room #:  Several
Solution:
        None; you can't open them.


****6.03 - The Asylum (Level 3)****

Puzzle:  How do I reason with Ellen Prentiss?
Room #:  2 (but wandering constantly)
Solution:
        You don't. Ellen is beyond reasoning. If you don't kill her, she'll
certainly kill you. When you do kill her, you will need to take her straight
jacket.

Puzzle:  I get injured if I cast "Dimensional Rift" on the blue runes.
Room #:  8 & 14
Solution:
        The blue runes are traps; they cannot be opened.

Puzzle:  How do I open the secret door and get to the central part of the
         Asylum?
Room #:  10
Solution:
        Open the safe.  This will reveal the hidden door.

Puzzle:  I can't get to the south-central part of the Asylum.
Room #:  General
Solution:
        Go to room #5, and walk to either location "a" or "b". You will be
teleported to room #24.

Puzzle:  Now I can't get out of the south-central part of the Asylum!
Room #:  General
Solution:
        Press the button on the wall of room #24. It reveals a one-way secret
door out of this section.

Puzzle:  Almost every door is locked, and none of my keys work!
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The locks on this level are electronic. Some of them can be opened by
the Security Card (found in Level 3, room #33).  The rest of the locked doors
can be opened using the Remote Control (hidden in the chest of drawers in
Level 3, room #43).

Puzzle:  How do I open the secret door to room #38?
Room #:  37
Solution:
        Pressing the button on the wall at location #37 will open it.

Puzzle:  I can't get to the center of the room to get the Hand of Glory.
Room #:  43
Solution:
        You must enter the room from the north. Each step forward that you
take will also teleport you one square to the right. You'll eventually get
there.

Puzzle:  Okay, fine: I've got the Hand of Glory, but I can't get to the chest
         of drawers to get the Remote Control!
Room #:  43
Solution:
        To get to the chest of drawers, enter the room from the west, and
follow the same movement rules as when you got the Hand of Glory.

Puzzle:  Just what is the "click" I hear when I enter the cell with the
         plaque outside of it?
Room #:  18
Solution:
        If you read the plaque, you will see that no firearms are allowed
inside the room. If you are carrying a pistol or rifle when you enter this
room, it will automatically jam ("click!").

Puzzle:  Who or what is breathing behind the wall?
Room #:  19
Solution:
        That's Charles Wenlock, the occultist who's trapped in the Ethereal
Plane. You can find him and talk to him by searching the Ethereal Plane, but
he can never be rescued.

Puzzle:  I can't get past the force field.
Room #:  Eastern Corridor
Solution:
        Wear the straight jacket you took from Ellen Prentiss. You'll be able
to pass right through the force field.

Puzzle:  How do I open the doors which are nailed shut?
Room #:  Several
Solution:
        None; you can't open them (get the idea?).

Puzzle:  How do I fight the screeching things?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        There is no easy solution to an encounter with a Bloodbeast. Run away
if possible, or attack from a distance with ranged weapons or spells.

Puzzle:  How do I fight the little orange blobs?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The Fire Spawn are made of just that; fire! A couple of shots from a
Fire Extinguisher (found in Level 3 rooms #15 & #38) will kill them.

Puzzle:  Why do I keep dropping things?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Because you picked up the Fungi in room #9. It is useless, so just get
rid of it. You'll find that you won't have any problem with dropping your
items afterwards.


****6.04 - The Museum (Level 4)****

Puzzle:  How do I get rid of the green slime things?
Room #:  General
Solution:
        The Slimes will not harm you as long as you are carrying the Hand of
Glory (found in Level 3, room #43). The Hand of Glory must be (a) lit and
(b) in your hand (not in your briefcase) in order to be effective.

Puzzle:  The Hand of Glory keeps extinguishing!  How can I keep it lit?
Room #:  General
Solution:
        Level 4 is a drafty place, and occasionally the Hand of Glory will be
blown out by the wind. When this happens, just use the Book of Matches to
re-light the Hand of Glory.

Puzzle:  How do I get rid of the red crab things?
Room #:  General
Solution:
        Getting rid of the Nightcrawlers involves several objects and actions.
When you arrive at Level 4, you need to have the 3 Demonic Statues in your
possession: the statue of Cartag (Level 1, room #1); the statue of Pthark
(Level 2, room #6); and the statue of Scaruk (Level 3, room #30). Take these
statues to The Room Of Power (Level 4, room #14), and place each of them on
the display stand whose plaque matches the statue's name. Once you have done
this, destroy each of the statues with a "Flames of Desolation" spell. All of
the Nightcrawlers will then be banished from the material plane.

Puzzle:  How do I get the items off of the display stands which have no
         plaques?
Room #:  22, 23
Solution:
        In order to get these objects, you must place the correct name plaque
on the stand containing the item in question. The plaques are located in the
following rooms: "shuriken" (Level 2, room #31); "Eye of Abophmet" (Basement
Level 1, room #19). A third plaque which is labeled "Mayan effigy" is in
Basement Level 2, room #23. However, this item must be obtained in a different
manner (as described below).

Puzzle:  How do I get the Mayan Jade Effigy?
Room #:  1
Solution:
        There is a plaque on the wall which simply says "right". The way to
get through the force field is to turn so that the display stand is to your
right, and then step sideways (to the right). You will then be able to take
the Mayan Jade Effigy from the display stand.

Puzzle:  How do I get the Zulu Spear?
Room #:  13
Solution:
        There is a plaque on the wall which simply says "back". The way to get
through the force field is to turn so that the display stand is behind you,
and then step backwards. You will then be able to take the Zulu Spear from
the display stand.

Puzzle:  How do I get the Zulu Shield?
Room #:  25
Solution:
        There is a plaque on the wall which simply says "left". The way to get
through the force field is to turn so that the display stand is to your left,
and then step sideways (to the left). You will then be able to take the Zulu
Shield from the display stand.

Puzzle:  How do I get the Samurai Armor?
Room #:  19
Solution:
        You will notice that there are two "mon" symbols on the wall, but one
of them is broken. In order to get the armor, you must rebuild the broken
"mon" by placing the Metal Crescent (Basement Level 1, room #8) on the broken
"mon".  The force field will then disappear.

Puzzle:  Is there any significance to the daisho (funeral resting place)
         where the Katana is found?
Room #:  18
Solution:
        Yes. There are places on the stand for the Funerary Urn (Basement
Level 1, room #9) and the Wakizashi sword (Basement Level 2, location #33).
When these items are placed on the stand, the spirit of the dead Japanese
warrior who once owned them gives the swords magical properties which make
them more powerful weapons.

Puzzle:  How do I take the chalice in the Evil Temple?
Room #:  24
Solution:
        You can't, and attempting to do so will only injure you. However, if
you examine the plaque on the left front pedestal, a secret compartment will
open, and a map of Levels 1-3 will fall out.


****6.05 - Shotguns and Skeletons (The Mausoleum)****

Puzzle:  How do I get past the Zombie with the Shotgun?
Room #:  3
Solution:
        The best strategy is to move quickly into the second alcove on your
left (location #2). Attack with a pistol or rifle by stepping into the
corridor, firing a shot, and stepping quickly back into the alcove. A few
shots should do it. The shotgun does a lot of damage, so defensive spells or
armor will do much to increase your chances.

Puzzle:  I don't see any doors!
Room #:  3
Solution:
        All of the doors on this level are disguised to look like part of the
wall. The auto-mapping feature of the game will show where they are. To open
the doors, simply left-click them.

Puzzle:  I can't open the second door to the south.
Room #:  Corridor, south of room #6
Solution:
        At the locations marked 4 and 5 there are Zombies which must be
killed. Once they have been eliminated, 2 gold switches (one at location 4
and one at location 5) will be revealed. Pushing each of these buttons once
will unlock the south door.

Puzzle:  The Skeletons keep coming back to life!
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Skeletons, once killed, are reduced to a pile of bones on the floor.
They will stay dead as long as they are not disturbed, but if you walk over
the bones they will come back to life. In order to prevent this, the bones
themselves can be destroyed by dropping a bag of Coffin Dust on them.

Puzzle:  There are too many Skeletons to fight at once.
Room #:  19
Solution:
        If you step on the switch at location 19, it will release all of the
Skeletons on the level at once. Release them one at a time by opening each of
the doors along the way. In order to get past the door at location 19, all of
the Skeletons must be killed.

Puzzle:  I can't open the door at location 19.
Room #:  19
Solution:
        The door cannot be opened until all of the Skeletons are killed.
Note: it is not required that you destroy the bones as well in order to get
through the door.

Puzzle:  There isn't enough Coffin Dust to destroy all of the bones.
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Use the Coffin Dust sparingly; only use it on Skeletons which are
killed in narrow corridors, or in areas in which you are likely to walk again.

Puzzle:  Is the Chapel significant in any way?
Room #:  16
Solution:
        Yes.  If you put the Sheet Music (Level 1, room 32) on the organ, it
will open a portal to the Ethereal Plan (gate #11).


****6.06 - Carrion, Stars, and the Karcist (The Egyptian Tomb)****

Puzzle:  These Carrion are relentless, and they can attack me through doors!
         What do I do?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The Carrion attack with sound, so hiding behind doors won't work very
well. If you are within earshot of them, they can harm you. They can be
affected by any weapon or spell, but must be killed quick since they do quite
a bit of damage. The best way to reduce the damage is to repair the Boom Box
(Egyptian Tomb, room #30) with the Electronic Tool Kit (Basement Level 1,
room #25). Turn the Boom Box on, and carry it around with you. While the music
is playing, the accuracy of the Carrion sonic attacks is reduced.

Puzzle:   How do I open all of the locked doors on this level?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The doors are not actually locked: they are magically sealed. There
is no key to the doors, and they cannot be forced. You must unlock them by
casting the "Key of the Shadow Lord" spell. (Some of the doors may require
you to prepare the spell to a stronger level, or to cast it several times to
open the door.)

Puzzle:  How did Carl Winthrop get down here, and why can't I communicate
         with him now?
Room #:  4
Solution:
        The person you see in this room is actually only an image of Carl
Winthrop. He is here simply to guard the Ritual Robe.  You cannot communicate
with him:  you must kill him in order to take the Ritual Robe.

Puzzle:  Why can't I cast any spells?
Room #:  4
Solution:
        Because you are carrying the Horned Skull. This object is cursed, and
as long as you have it in your possession, it will render your magic useless.
It has no purpose in the game, so just get rid of it.

Puzzle:  How can I avoid taking damage when I encounter the "E" symbol?
Room #:  Several
Solution:
        There are two ways to avoid damage. If you are wearing the Ritual
Robe (Egyptian Tomb, room #4) you will take no damage from the cult symbols.
However, since the power of the symbols is strictly visual, you can avoid
damage by approaching the symbols backwards or sideways so that you cannot
see them.

Puzzle:  Why can't I see anything through the telescope?
Room #:  10
Solution:
        You must first open the skylight in the room (by clicking on it)
before you use the telescope.

Puzzle:  What is the use of the telescope?
Room #:  10
Solution:
        When used in conjunction with the Astrolabe, you can banish Alberoth
from the Material Plane.  (Full details on this puzzle can be found under
Section 6.08).

Puzzle:  How do I get to the center section of this level?
Room #:  7, 15, 25, 32
Solution:
        In each of the listed rooms, there is a pressure plate on the floor.
You will need to enter each of the rooms (in no particular order) and step on
each of the pressure plates once. (Don't step on any twice, or you will have
to start the sequence over again!) When you step on the fourth plate, a
doorway leading toward the center of the level will appear.

Puzzle:  I've stepped on the pressure plates, and found a series of rooms,
         but there still seems to be another room in the center of this level.
Room #:  33, 35, 37, 39
Solution:
        In each of the listed rooms, you will see a coin slot on the wall
closest to the center of the map. In each of the coin slots, place one of the
Chinese Coins (Level 3, rooms #1, #12, #13, #26, & #35). Once you have placed
the fourth coin in the slot, the walls will disappear, revealing a room at
the center of the level.

Puzzle:  What are the 5 bronze bowls in the center room?
Room #:  41
Solution:
        These are offering bowls for summoning the Karcist. To summon the
Karcist, pick up the 4 Chinese Coins you used to open the walls (they will
now be on the floor near each of the 4 exits).  Place one of the coins in
each of the 5 bowls. When the fifth coin is placed in the bowl, the Karcist
will appear.

Puzzle:  How do I deal with the Karcist?
Room #:  41
Solution:
        The Karcist will attempt to talk to you before any battle takes place.
Go ahead and talk; just remember that he is an expert liar, and don't believe
any promises he makes to you. He is affected by all types of weapons and
spells, but ranged weapons and spells are the safest. Keep moving and avoid
his touch - it is his most deadly attack. The best strategy is to have the
Heart of the Karcist (Level 4, room #15) with you when you confront him. He
will ask you to give him the heart.  DON'T!  Instead, destroy it. This kills
him instantly.



****6.07 - Downstairs (Basement Level 1)****

Puzzle:  How do I fight the Ghouls?  They keep poisoning me!
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        It is best to fight the Ghouls with ranged weapons or with spells. If
they manage to bite you, they will inflict a poisonous wound which is
eventually fatal. The poison can be counteracted by drinking a vial of
Holy Water, or by successfully casting the "Elixir of Health" spell
(Basement Level 1, room #24).

Puzzle:  The Rock Fiends are too tough to kill!
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Yes, they are tough to kill. Your best bet is to fight them with
magic, or with weapons that do a high amount of damage (the Chainsaw, for
instance). These creatures are also not terribly fast, so you can usually
dodge by them without having to fight.

Puzzle:  The doors are disappearing as soon as I walk through them!
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        Many of the doors on this level are one-way doors; there is no way to
open them from the inside. Once you have passed into the northern half of
Basement Level 1, the only way to get back to the southern half (without
leaving this level) is down the corridor which runs south from room #9.

Puzzle:  I'm trapped in a room which has a door that I can see, but can't
         open.
Room #:  4
Solution:
        The door in the southern wall of the room is an illusion. You can
simply walk straight through it.

Puzzle:  There are a lot of corridors that are just dead-ends.
Room #:  Several
Solution:
        Always check the movement arrows on the screen when you reach a dead
end: some of the walls are illusory. If this is the case, your forward
movement arrow will be red, indicating that you can walk through the wall.

Puzzle:  What is supposed to happen in the Red skull-temple?
Room #:  29
Solution:
        This is one of the most important puzzles in the game, and it must be
solved in order to win. This is the room where you must create the Eye of
Agla.
        The first step is to place the Vanity Mirror (Basement Level 2, room
#8) into the beam of light. The light will be reflected. (You may have to
adjust the positioning of the mirror in order to get the light to reflect at
the proper angle.) Once the light has been deflected properly, a stone pillar
will rise up in the center of the room. You must then place the Meteorite
Fragment from the Sea Daemon temple (Basement Level 3, room #24) into the
opening in the stone pillar. Magically, the Eye of Agla will be created. You
must then take the Eye of Agla, and have it with you when you prepare to meet
Belthegor in the final confrontation.

Puzzle:  How do I get into the room that screams?
Room #:  16
Solution:
        You can't. There is a teleporter in the doorway which transports you
out every time you try to enter.

Puzzle:  How do I open the safe?
Room #:  25
Solution:
        The same key that opens the safe on Level 1 (the Security Key:
Level 1, room #5) will open this safe as well.

Puzzle:  A "feeling of dread" is preventing me from moving.
Room #:  9
Solution:
        You have to fool yourself into moving where you want to go in this
room. You can only move by using the sideways (left and right) movement
arrows.


****6.08 - The Sub-Basement (Basement Level 2)****

Puzzle:  No matter what I do, I can't get past that thing at the bottom of
         every stairway.
Room #:  12, 22, 36
Solution:
        This is Alberoth, one of the evil deities. He is very powerful, and
cannot be killed by any means. He can, however be removed from the material
plane. In order to do this, take the Astrolabe (Basement Level 2, room #31)
to the observatory (Egyptian Tomb, room #10). Open the observatory doors, and
place the Astrolabe on the telescope. Alberoth will depart the material plane
and you will be able to safely enter and leave Basement Level 2.

Puzzle:  If I have to use the Astrolabe to gain safe entry to Basement Level
         2, how do I get the Astrolabe FROM Basement Level 2?
Room #:  31
Solution:
        There is a trap door in Basement Level 1, room #26. What you must do
is fall through this trap door. You will find yourself slightly injured, but
you will end up in Basement Level 2, room #34. From here you can proceed
easily to room #31 and retrieve the Astrolabe. In order to get back out of
this level, go to the stairway in the southeast corner and quickly rush past
Alberoth. You should be able to make it. Otherwise, you can take a quick
shortcut to a different level through the Ethereal Plane, via the open portal
at location #37.

Puzzle:  How do I deal with the worms?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The Death Leaches are fairly easy to avoid, as they always move in an
easily determined, set pattern. However, they can be most easily killed by
loading the Savage .311 Shotgun (Basement Level 1, room #18) with Rock Salt
and firing it at the Death Leach. Two shots are usually sufficient. Rock Salt
is found at various locations on Basement Levels 1 and 2.

Puzzle:  How do I deal with the bat-winged creatures?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The Hellions are affected by any normal weapon or by magic. However,
the easiest way to fight them is by carrying the Assegai (Level 4, room # 13)
and the Zulu Shield (Level 4, room #25). Both objects, carried in one hand,
will decrease the accuracy of the Hellions' attacks. You can attack them with
the Assegai while holding the objects in this manner.

Puzzle:  How do I get that book in the center of the big room?
Room #:  19
Solution:
        You can't. There is a teleporter just inside both doors which will
teleport you to room #35 if you attempt to enter.

Puzzle:  How do I get to the Wakazashi?
Room #:  33
Solution:
        You must enter the corridor to the immediate west of location #33. If
you walk into this small corridor, you will be teleported right to the
Wakazashi.

Puzzle:  How do I get to the Mogana Leaves?
Room #:  4
Solution:
        There are multiple teleporters in the room which change your position
and facing. The pattern is easily discerned by watching the on-screen map.

Puzzle:  I can't get to location #16 for some reason...
Room #:  Corridor south of 16
Solution:
        There are two spinner traps in the corridor. The first one will spin
you around 180 degrees and move you north. If you step forward again, you are
back where you started from! The secret is to step backwards once the first
spinner has turned you around. The second spinner will then turn you back
towards location #16.


****6.09 - Servitors and Sea Daemons (Basement Level 3)****

Puzzle:  How do I get past the Sevitors?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The Servitors cannot be killed by any normal weapons; you must use
either magic or the Sacrificial Dagger (Basement Level 3, room #13).
However, the best way to deal with the Servitors is not to kill them, but to
blend in with them! If you wear a Dead Squid (Basement Level 2, room #14;
Basement Level 3, room #6) and a Servitor's Robe (Basement Level 3, rooms #6
& #19), the Servitors will not attack you (unless you attack first).

Puzzle: Is there any way to get from the northwest half of the level to the
        northeast half?
Room #:  General
Solution:
        No. You must go up to Basement Level 2 and go back down using the
northeastern stairs. Once you enter the northeast section of Basement Level 3,
you can bang on the gong at location #15. This will open the secret door which
connects this area to the northwest section. (Make sure you are disguised when
you ring the gong, because it also attracts Servitors!)

Puzzle:  There are several locked rooms where none of my keys will work!
Room #:  6, 17
Solution:
        These particular doors have no keys, and cannot be opened by forcing
them. You must use the "Key of the Shadow Lord" spell (Level 3, room #38) in
order to open them.

Puzzle:  I seem to be trapped in a cell of some sort...
Room #:  2
Solution:
        There is a button on the wall which will reveal the one-way door you
entered, allowing you to leave. The button also summons 2 Servitors to the
cell, so make sure you are disguised or ready to fight.

Puzzle:  How the heck did I get back to Level 1?
Room #:  1
Solution:
        There is a teleporter in the center section of the northern wall of
room #1. If you step into it by mistake, you will be teleported to Level 1.

Puzzle:  How do I get to the southern half of this level?
Room #:  8
Solution:
        If you go to the end of this "L" shaped room, you will notice that
your forward movement arrow will still be red. Simply walk right through the
wall.

Puzzle:  I made it to the southern half - but now a giant jellyfish is
         attacking me!
Room #:  9, 33
Solution:
        This is Melchoir, one of the deities. Like Alberoth, he cannot be
killed or harmed in any way. However, as long as you are wearing the Golden
Torc of Gothua when Melchoir is around, he will not attack you (unless you
attack him first).

Puzzle:  All of the doors in the green caves are locked, and none of my keys
         will work.
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The doors in this section require a very special key. To unlock the
doors, use the Shrunken Head (Level 1, room #20) as a key.

Puzzle:  How do I deal with the Sea Daemons?
Room #:  Many
Solution:
        The Sea Daemons can be fought with any weapon, but the best way to
deal with them is to avoid them. They will not attack you if you burn incense
made from Mogana Leaves while in their presence. To make the incense, take
the Mogana Leaves (Basement Level 2, room #4) and grind them into a powder by
putting them in the Mortar and Pestle (Basement Level 2, room #29). Put the
powder into the Incense Burner (Basement Level 2, room #5) by dragging the
Mortar and Pestle onto it. When you are entering an area with Sea Daemons
present, light the Incense Burner using the Book of Matches (Level 2,
location #15; Basement Level 2, location #21).  As long as you carry the lit
Incense Burner in your hand, the Sea Daemons will not attack you (unless you
attack first).

Puzzle:  I keep getting teleported to Basement Level 1!
Room #:  25
Solution:
        Don't step into alcove #25!  It's a teleport trap.

Puzzle:  I'm in the Sea Daemon Temple, but where is the Meteorite Fragment?
Room #:  24
Solution:
        There is a dome in the center of the room. If you have examined,
poked at it and prodded it, you will discover that it produces an F-sharp
musical note when struck. As you may have guessed, the Meteorite Fragment is
inside the dome, and you must break the dome to get it. To break the dome,
blow on the Crystal Flute (Egyptian Tomb, room #26). This will shatter the
dome and reveal an opening. The Meteorite Fragment is inside. Drag the opening
with the mouse cursor to retrieve it.

Puzzle:  I keep getting zapped by the electricity when I try to take the
         Meteorite Fragment!
Room #:  24
Solution:
        It's all a matter of timing: time your attempt so it coincides with
the power surge (not when the surge has stopped!). You should then be
successful in your attempt.

Puzzle:  Where does the cave opening lead?
Room #:  29
Solution:
        The cave opening is actually the easiest entrance to the Astral Plane,
where Belthegor resides. Stepping through the opening will teleport you to
location #2 on the Astral Plane.


****4.10 - The Ethereal Plane****

Puzzle:  How can I keep from being injured when I enter the Ethereal Plane?
Room #:  N/A
Solution:
        You will always take some damage when you enter the Ethereal Plane,
unless you are carrying the Mayan Jade Effigy (Level 4, room #1).  If this
object is in your hand when you enter the gate, you will not be injured as
you step through.

Puzzle:  Why can't I enter all of the spinning cubes?
Room #:  N/A
Solution:
        Each of the spinning cubes corresponds with one of the red runes or
open gates somewhere in the house or on another plane. The cubes which you
cannot enter correspond to a rune which has not yet been activated (opened by
casting the "Dimensional Rift" spell on it). You cannot open the gates from
the Ethereal Plane.

Puzzle:  Melchoir, the giant jellyfish is back again.
Room #:  N/A
Solution:
        On the Ethereal Plane, Melchoir guards the gate which leads to the
Astral Plane. As before, if you are wearing the Golden Torc of Gothua,
Melchoir will not attack you.


****6.11 - Showdown With Belthegor (The Astral Plane)****

Puzzle:  Why do I keep getting transported to other levels of the house?
Room #:  N/A
Solution:
        The small, spinning cubes on the Astral Plane serve a similar function
to the spinning cubes on the Ethereal Plane; however, on this level they are
wandering the corridors rather than being stationary. Make good use of the
alcoves and niches on this level to determine the movement patterns of the
wandering gates, and time your movements so that you do not come into contact
with them.

Puzzle:  There's a force field blocking my way, and I can't get past it!
Room #:  3
Solution:
        In order to pass through this force field, you must be carrying the
Eye of Agla in your hand. Details on the Eye of Agla can be found in the
puzzle solutions for Basement Level 1.

Puzzle:  I've explored the entire area, but there is no door to Belthegor's
         lair.
Room #:  4
Solution:
        Once again, the secret is to watch the movement arrows. When you are
outside Belthegor's lair, all you will see is a blank wall; however, you will
be able to simply walk through it.

Puzzle:  Belthegor doesn't seem to be affected by any of my weapons at all,
         and he kills me right away!
Room #:  4
Solution:
        Fighting Belthegor requires some preparation. First, you must be
wearing the Golden Torc of Gothua, and you must possess the Eye of Agla.
Before entering, cast as many defensive spells as possible.
        Belthegor is not affected by any physical weapon; you must fight him
with magic. Prior to entering his lair, prepare an offensive spell to the
highest possible level ("Flames of Desolation" seems to work well).  Heal
yourself to full health, and bring your magic level up to full power. When
you enter the lair, Belthegor will appear from a bottomless vortex, and will
begin to attack immediately. As soon as you see him, begin your attack, and
don't let up. Be prepared to cast an occasional "Elixir of Health" spell, or
heal your self with a First Aid Kit if the battle starts to go badly.
Belthegor is a difficult opponent, but if you attack ruthlessly and quickly,
he can be destroyed.
