CADAVER - Mirrorsoft - Part 3

 Playing guide supplied by The ST Adventurer's PD Library

LEVEL THREE

Level Three of Wulf Castle is the old Royal Court. Here the Kings
and Lord Carolus judged their subjects and entertained their
guests. At the heart of the level is the Throne Room and around it
are arranged the Treasuries, Embassies, Kitchens and Barracks as
well as the infamous Royal Maze where guests were taken for a
little light entertainment. The level is now abandoned apart from
the ghost of the old King who was brutally executed and then tried
after his death.

In this level resides the spirit of King Wulf. When found he will
ask you to help free his soul and, in return, he will help you to
reach the higher levels of the castle and, thereafter, kill
Dianos. You must find the five ingredients to concoct a brew to do
this. The King will tell you more when you get there.

the DOOR using the WAND and go WEST, NORTH and WEST.  CAST ENCHANT
LIQUID on the FONT.

You will now be given the key to the Guard's Barracks. This
section is heavily populated by Monsters and, though the puzzles
are not too difficult, it is very dangerous! In order to serve the
finished potion to the King, it is necessary to recover the
Ancient Chalice of the Wulfs (this can be found at the end of this
section). With that complete, the King should allow you to go on
