Greetings. As the scene unfolds, we find ourselves at Chapel Entrance, freezing in the bitter wind. The chapel is obviously a haven from the breeze, so stroll inside.
Time to make a study of the objects here. Notice the head on the stand. Remember back at Entrance Hall, the other head? The one we cast a spell on? If you don’t, in one of the scrolls were printed six words from the book, in two lines. One of these translated to “Instant light”, which you’ve already invoked if you’ve gotten this far. The other one translated to “Talking head”. Maybe this head talks... Say “Specan Heafod Abraxas” to the head.
Zam! The door opened. But don’t leave yet, there’s still work to do. Notice the cross. That seems like a handy doodad to have around. Pick it up.
Well, we have a secret trapdoor here. But don’t go there either. Examine the candelabra. Maybe we could pick it up... Drag it in (if it doesn’t fit, open the cage and put things in there). Now save your position. Don’t ask any questions, just do it. You’re at a life-threatening position, though it doesn’t seem like it.
Now we can exit two ways. Let’s go through the trapdoor. Hmm... what’s this about a spider? Try again. The game seems intent on keeping you up here. Keep trying, and eventually you’ll get through. Whoops! There IS a spider here! And a very big one at that!
Open the saved game and try again. This time, though, take the door on the left. Oh oh, this poltergeist won’t even give you a ghost of a chance. Open the saved game again.
Anything we do to it must be set up beforehand. Ghosts can be easily frightened, strangely. And any creep usually can be warded off by a religious symbol of some sort.
Look at the candelabra. Notice that it’s not lit. Maybe we’d have better luck it it were lit. Strike a match (remember, operate it on the matchbox) and light the candelabra. Now proceed back through the door.
That candelabra sure frightened the ghost! Anyhow, up ahead is a garden maze, but a very gloomy one. Time to whip out the graph paper and head onward into the maze.
We now are in a gloomy garden maze. Luckily, your sense of direction has actually sharpened, not faded. You always will be facing the same direction in the maze. Map any way you like. Just wander around, mapping passages and avoiding hazards, until something interesting happens.
If you happen upon a bunch of zombies, run the way you came. There is no way to deal with them. There is one band that never moves, but if you do find a bunch, come back again to see if they’ve left.
If you find one zombie, you can deal with him (it?) very simply. A zombie is, of course, undead. That should ring a bell... Remember the letter we read at the very beginning of the game? “The undead fear symbology.” Remember what came with it? The amulet, of course! Operate it on him (it?) for best results.
If you find a tombstone or coffin, make a note of where it was, but don’t worry about it right now.
If you’ve been everywhere there is to be, and seen everything there is to see, you’ll remember there are a few tombstones about. You do have a bunch of flowers, but only one. Which tombstone is different from all the rest? The unmarked one. Operate the flowers on it.
A hidden passage! What luck! Go through it right away.
Three cages here to distract us. Which one to open? Don’t worry, there’s only one lock. Unlock it with the key.
Here would be a good point to save your game. One wrong move and you’re cat food, snake food and bird food simultaneously. The animal we’re interested in is the bird, so operate the cage on it.
What a hungry snake! Now that that’s over, take the exit at the bottom (the exit at the left leads back to the bunch of zombies). Keep going until you find something interesting.
Did you see what was under the bouncing creature? If you didn’t, recall one of the scrolls you found in the Master Bedroom. “The heart of the maze contains the Blothney gem.” Welcome to the heart of the maze.
But we still have a bouncing creature to take care of. It looks friendly. Maybe it’s hungry. It also looks fat enough to be a carnivore. Maybe we can give him a bird to munch on... Open the cage to get at the bird.
Oh well, it got away. But look! the bouncing creature is chasing it. Now we can get at that gem and get out of here, which you should do.
Now go back to the junction we left earlier and re-enter the greenhouse.
Look! That plant we watered earlier has born some fruit. Grab the plant and go back to the junction.
Heading up the left path, we find ourselves at Magisterium. That should sound familiar. Remember the book? Magisterium translates to “mystery”. Now recall the second half of one of the scrolls in Master Bedroom. “There are places you cannot go, ’til you unlock the ‘mystery’.”
There is a gem-shaped hole in the doorway. Putting together the parts of the message, we should be able to unlock the door with the Blothney gem. Try it.
Open sesame! We can now go inside, which we should do.
That demon seems more vicious than he is. Maybe he’s hungry. But he doesn’t seem like he’ll want any “normal” food. Try feeding him some home-grown food, from the greenhouse.
There he goes! We are now very near the conclusion of our hunt. But as the tension grows, so does the danger, so watch your step (I mean it this time!).
