Unfortunately the tunnel the worm is originally occupying leads to a cellar with an invincible rat! According to most guides i am supposed to end up on a wooden dock of some sort? I tried going through the rat wine cellar and up the stairs and they appear to collapse or something. This part is perticularily tough because i still am not able to run!


Did you make a wrong turn in the cave at the Y intersection? Unfortunately you will need to run to finish the game. There is a collapsing bridge at some point that you need to run across. Have you tried reducing the cycles in DOSBox? Running is tricky ... press and hold the up arrow and then very quickly release and press the up arrow again.

Belive it or not i got across the bridge simply by using the "jump" feature. But runnign seems to be getting the better of me. After i kill the little monster i continue foreward and come face to face with the ugly worm. Am i supposed to run backwards and go where its rear was sticking out after it moved the first time? Thanks.

Sorry for the double post but;

I did the undoable! I managed to beat the game (well...sort of) without running at all.

I used the jump option to get across the breaking bridge, to avoid the worm and to beat the tree schene.

Theres only one glitch; at the end where i am supposed to walk through the large hall and open the double doors at the end; i cant! Well; im in the main hall but i can walk through walls, stairs, doors, etc. Its as if the background texture is screwed up so that it doesnt change camera views when i go to a new area....

That was the biggest kick in the pants after spending a few hours beating a game ive waited at least 6-8 years to figure out how the story ends! All i wanted was that glorious "The End" screen! (NOT THE ONE WITH ME LIEING DEAD BY THE TREE! :bleh: )

Hey there, not sure if i'm doing this all right so apologies now if i'm not!

I have been leant the cd rom version of this game (I had the old one with floppys when i was about 6) but it wouldn't work...anyway, i've got to the maxe bit and and totally stumped, i don't understand any of the walkthrough bits for it, i've found a stone door near where you enter (to the character's right) but when i open/search it just says "a leaver to be triggered!" and no stone works!

Any help?! x

Hey all.

Just a quick question.

Whenever I try to go downstairs from the attic, Carnby stops, pivettes and moves back up.

I searched several walkthroughs, but it doesn't look like i've missed anything.

Can anyone help?

One of the books is at the bookshelf and the other one is in the closet.

What should I do after I got the hook? I can only use it to open up couple of doors with weird mechanism.
