Castle Master - Incentive Solved by John Carter on Amiga Food and treasure locations are not included in this walk-through. The layout of the Castle is fairly basic and can be followed without maps. The instructions say a score of 7.5 million is possible and I finished on 4.6 so I concluded that some of the treasure must be really well hidden as I thought I had been quite thorough. The Castle comprises four Towers at the NW, NE, SW and SE, joined by N, S, E and W passages on Levels 3 and 4, with the Gatehouse taking the place of the southern passage on levels 1 and 2. (Rather like the toy forts we older gentlemen would remember from our youth). On the first floor a central Courtyard contains a Well, Smithy, Stable, Haybarn and Church, whilst a Wizard's Hut will be found outside the Castle to the NW and a large moveable boulder to the SW. Below the Castle are the Catacombs and five Caverns (which are only accessible from above), a Wine Cellar, Torture Chamber, Cell and a staircase leading to the NW Tower. To complete the adventure you must find 10 pentacles, 10 keys and kill 26 spirits plus Magister. Location of Keys: On the wall in the Kitchen Level 1 - SE Tower In the chest in Igor's Lair Level 1 - SE Tower On the wall in the Pentacle Vault Vestibule Level 1 - NW Tower At the top of the Well Courtyard Behind the bale of hay Haybarn in Courtyard Under the horse Stable in Courtyard Top of the chair back Wizard's Hut On top of gold nugget in Shrine Level 2 - NW Tower On wall in Pentacle Vault Level 1 - NW Tower On the roof of the Church Courtyard Location of Pentacles: One in each of the five Caverns under the Castle. One on the left ledge on the second floor of the Gatehouse. One on the wall in the Display Chamber - Level 3 - NW Tower. One on the chest in the Dragon's Hoard - Level 3 - SE Tower (it appears in place of the lock when the chest is emptied). One in the Junk Room - Level 3 - NW Tower (crawl under the shelves on the right, stand up, turn around and move forward to find it). One in the Belfry (which is hidden behind a false wall to the right of the yellow cross on the wall in the Church; pull the rope to find the pentacle). Walk-through: Throw rock at switch to drop drawbridge - north into Gatehouse - east to Kitchen - get food and key - exit - go to Igor's room next door and kill him - get treasure and key from chest - return to Kitchen - walk into fireplace - eat enough food to put six weights on each end of the barbell - go to the Pentacle Vault Vestibule in NW Tower - kill spirit - get key. Leave Castle via drawbridge - go southeast to large rock and push to reveal cavern entrance but don't enter yet (you can only move the rock if you have full strength) - go to Wizard's Hut in northwest - get key off chair back - move rug - drop down hole - kill spirit - get pentacle - east from Cavern - first south - east - first north - kill spirit - south from Cavern - east - eat food - south - east - south - push plank to form a bridge over the Oubliette - south - east - south - kill spirit - north from Cavern - west - north - over plank - second west - kill spirit - east from Cavern - north - west - first south - kill spirit - north from Cavern - north at Crossroads and into the large Cellar Corridor - kill the spirits in the three rooms opposite (the bottle on the lower shelf in the Wine Cellar will replace strength but has the opposite effect if you drink too much). Take the southern passage opposite the wine Cellar - south at the T-junction - up the stairs to the bottom of the NW Tower. The next section requires jumping into the Caverns with a resultant loss of strength, so visit the hidden food cache in the Kitchen as and when needed. Return to the large rock outside the Castle - jump down - get pentacle - return via stairs to NW Tower - go to the Hot Baths at Level 1 of NE Tower - kill spirit - operate switch on post to drain bath - drop into Cavern below via hole revealed - get pentacle - return to NW Tower - go to Well in Courtyard - search for key - crawl into Well to access Cavern below - get pentacle - return to NW Tower - stand on drawbridge and throw rock at switch (you will be thrown onto the Church Roof) - get key - drop down through hole into Church - walk up to the north wall and look right to find the entrance to the Belfry - enter Belfry and pull the rope to find a pentacle - exit Belfry and crawl under pulpit to access Cavern below - get pentacle - return to NW Tower. Go to Haybarn - kill spirit - get key - exit - go to Stable next door - get key from horse. Go to Level 2 via the staircase in the NE Tower - go to Curing Room via the N passage - kill spirit - exit south into Armoury - kill spirit - exit east - enter Library around the corner - examine left-hand book on top shelf - climb on chair which appears to access Shrine - climb on gold nugget to find key - exit Shrine - exit Library - go along west passage and bypass the barrier by using the balcony round the Great Hall - kill spirit (watch out for the hole where the balcony turns right) - exit balcony - walk out along left ledge in Gatehouse to find a pentacle - return to stairs in NE Tower (you can, at this time, search the rooms of the SE Tower; the Pottery door needs strength to open it and contains a "Rock Travel Potion", purpose unknown). Go to Level 3 of NE Tower - enter Storeroom - open cupboard - kill spirit - crawl into cupboard - kill spirit - crawl into cupboard to find Priest Hole - exit Priest Hole - exit Storeroom - press switch to the left (one of two needed to raise barrier) - go to NW Tower via north passage - throw rocks at grille until it disappears - open door to Junk Room - enter - crawl to back of shelves on right - stand up - turn around - move forward - get pentacle - exit Junk Room - shoot lock off Display Room next door - return to stairs and go down to Level 1.

Enter King's Solar and press button to operate the barrier outside - exit Solar - go left - walk up to second barrier and operate "wheel" on the other side to open the heavy door - go to NW Tower via east and north passages - to operate the barrier, stand on the grey diamond on the floor and press the four buttons in quick succession. Enter the Lobby and move left to find the gap in the partition - kill spirit - north into Gymnasium - kill spirit - use barbell to rebuild strength - don't fall out of the window - west into Spirit's Abode - kill spirits (three) - south into Granary - search the grain to find a chest - climb into chest and close lid to find a way into the Display Chamber - get all (there is a revitalization potion which enables you to lift the sceptre) and take pentacle - go to SW Tower Level 4 via the stairs in the NE Tower. Find a gap in the railing of the balcony around the Ballroom and drop down to the floor below - walk through the goal posts to rebuild strength - exit Ballroom and avoid moving block - go to Dragon's Lair in SE Tower and kill by shooting horns, teeth and eyes - east into Dragon's Hoard - open chest and take treasure (the lock on the chest becomes a pentacle when you have taken everything) - exit Hoard - exit Lair - press button to lower barrier (it will rise again after a few seconds) go down stairwell to Level 1. Go to Pentacle Vault on Level 1, NW Tower - get treasure and key to Magister's Room - go to Level 4, SE Tower via the stairs in NE Tower and the north, west and south corridors - enter Magister's Room and kill him with about 40 shots to the head - exit east - game completed.
