Cadaver - Mirrorsoft (Part 5)

             Solution provided by John Barnsley

LEVEL FIVE

You have now reached the final level of Castle Wulf. Dianos is
waiting for you in the final room! The aim here is to collect the
necessary items for his destruction and to reach that final room.
Dianos has left a profusion of traps and puzzles to stop you. You
will need all the skills that you have gained in the previous
levels.

You start this level in the Great Tower. Quickly, COLLECT the
MARBLE GEM STONE and go EAST to the North Bridge. COLLECT the
second MARBLE GEM STONE and locate the PRESSURE PAD which is close
to the South wall. Walk over it to reveal a SKULL LOCK. INSERT the
two MARBLE GEMS into the SKULL LOCK and go EAST to the Ward Room.
JUMP up on the posts and COLLECT the POTION BOTTLES (do this
quickly as the effect of the gems is damaging your health!).  Go
EAST to Helm's Bridge. PULL the FIRST LEVER and go UNDER the
WOODEN BLOCK when it raises.  PULL the SECOND LEVER and RUN to the
EAST door.  Stand as close as you can get to it and WAIT. The two
FLAILS that appeared will not harm you. RUN back, PRESS the HOLE
and COLLECT the FLASK that appears.  Finally, PULL the THIRD
LEVER, WAIT a few seconds until the door unlocks, then go EAST to
Helm's View. COLLECT the EMERALD GEM and go EAST to the Great
Chamber.

OPEN the CHEST (READING the BOOK for more clues) and COLLECT the
DISPEL TRAP, SCROLL and CURE POISON FLASK. Go DOWN the stairs to
the Cellar Stair.  OPEN the CHEST and COLLECT the MIND BLAST ORB
and GREEN GEMS (the gems you collect are powering up your Mind
Blast Spell in readiness for the final conflict!).  Go EAST and
SOUTH to the Main Cellar. OPEN the CHEST and COLLECT the BLESS
POTION SPELL and URN, then return to the Cellar Stair.  PLACE the
URN UNDER the STEAM HAMMER and then PULL the LEVER. The urn will
smash and you should COLLECT an EMERALD. Go to the Great Cellar
and OPEN the CHEST.  COLLECT the MAGIC MISSILE SPELLS (however,
these are bit of a 'red herring' and almost useless!). Go SOUTH to
the East Cellar. OPEN the CHEST and COLLECT the TWO RED POTIONS.
AS the note says, you can only pick up ONE of the BLACK POTIONS.
They are both STAMINA - one has a single dose of 200 and the other
has 10 doses of 20. Get the 10 and 20 STAMINA POTION and CAST the
BLESS POTION SPELL on it - this provides you with more Stamina
than casting it on the other potion. Return to the Great Chamber.
You have now been teleported back here! You must quickly jump for
the posts that have caskets resting on them, getting the caskets
as you go. OPEN the GREEN CASKET and COLLECT all the GEMS. OPEN
the RED CASKET and COLLECT the DISPEL TRAP SPELL then go SOUTH to
the East Passage. You must now get all the gems, but beware of the
floor! There are FOUR PRESSURE PADS that transport you to one of
the confrontations with Dianos! The EAST side of the passage is
safe apart from the last tile but one. Go SOUTH to the Separator.

Avoid touching the BLACK SPHERES as these will explode and harm
you!  COLLECT the KEY, PULL the LEVER and USE the KEY in the
KEYHOLE. Return to the Great Chamber and USE STRENGTH to PULL BACK
the WOODEN BLOCK from the door.  Go EAST to the Oubliette. SEARCH
the SKULL, COLLECT the TOKEN and TIGER'S EYE GEM, READ the BOOK
and return to the Separator. Go SOUTH to the High Passage.  PULL
the MIDDLE LEVER. CLIMB the wooden LADDER and trigger the wooden
BLOCK by standing in the corner. You must avoid the flail, COLLECT
all the GREEN GEMS and finally the KEY. Go SOUTH to Axel's Leap.
COLLECT the MONEY BAG and the RED ORB. As soon as you go round the
far side of the pit, you will trigger the flails. JUMP to avoid
them and go SOUTH to Sea Watch.  DISPEL the TRAP on the wooden
CHEST, OPEN it and COLLECT the extra-strong SPIDER POISON and the
MONEY SACK.  INSERT the KEY in the KEYHOLE and go WEST to Axel's
Fall.

Time the moving of the wooden block and INSERT the TWO EMERALDS
onto the EYES of the SKULL LOCK (stand on the edge of the FIRST
floorboard to do this).  JUMP across the CENTRAL block of the
wooden floor and go WEST to Brokson's Hall.  OPEN the wooden CHEST
and COLLECT the PIECE OF LEAD and all the COINS. PULL the UPPER
LEVER and get onto the elevator. DROP the POISON on the floor and
the SPIDER should drink it. After a few seconds the Spider will
die, leaving behind a KEY. PULL the UPPER LEVER and go DOWN to
COLLECT the KEY.  Now PULL the LOWER LEVER to make the bars
disappear. PULL the LOWER LEVER on the West wall and CLIMB onto
the elevator and go to the Upper Level. USE the KEY in the KEYHOLE
and then return to the Lower Floor.  Go WEST to the Void. You
cannot collect the flask or the money sacks - just yet.  The exits
to this room are located about halfway along the North wall and at
either end of the West wall. Go NORTH and DISPEL the TRAP on the
STRONG BOX then OPEN it to COLLECT the COINS.  COLLECT the MAGIC
SHIELD POTION, stand on the STRONG BOX to PRESS the SECRET PANEL
and COLLECT the RUBY that falls from it. Return to the Void and
then exit using the LOWER of the West wall doors to enter the
Lord's View. TOUCH the NUMBERED PANELS until they are set at
7-4-1. This will unlock the door to the South. Go SOUTH then SOUTH
again to the Lord's Watch.

PRESS the TWO SECRET PANELS to COLLECT a RED CASKET (be sure to
READ THE NOTE!) and the TWO KEYS.  Go NORTH to the Side Room. OPEN
the CHEST and COLLECT what MONEY you can. Return to the Void and
exit through the UPPER of the West doors to the Great Bridge.
INSERT the TWO RUBIES into the FIRST SKULL LOCK, then INSERT the
KEY into the LOCK and INSERT the TOKEN into the SLOT. Go WEST to
the West Ward. COLLECT the AMETHYST and the GREEN CASKET.  OPEN
the GREEN CASKET and COLLECT all the GEMS. Now DRINK your STRENGTH
POTION and SLIDE the wooden BLOCK so that you can reach the door
and lever.  PULL the LEVER and go WEST to Magnus's Watch. Avoid
the steel shots and INSERT the AMETHYST into the appropriate SKULL
LOCK. You can now OPEN the RED CASKET and COLLECT the LEAD.  Go
NORTH to the High Parapet.

PULL the LEVER and CLIMB onto the elevator. JUMP over the WOODEN
PLATFORM with the BOOK on it. OPEN the CHEST and COLLECT the
STAMINA POTION. Return to the Lord's Watch via the Void. At the
Void, COLLECT the TWO MONEY SACKS and the TURQUOISE WATER POTION.
At the Lord's Watch, DROP the TWO LEAD PIECES and RAGNAR'S BOTTLE
into the BOWL. The bowl should bubble for a while and then reveal
TWO PIECES OF GOLD. Return to Magnus's Watch. INSERT the TWO
PIECES OF GOLD into the SKULL LOCK. Go NORTH and NORTH again to
the Inner Watch. COLLECT the KEY and then OPEN the CHEST. COLLECT
all the GREEN GEMS, the TWO JADES, the RED CASKET and the FLASK OF
BLOOD. Go EAST to Caliban's View.

DROP the RED CASKET and return to the Inner Watch. OPEN the GREEN
CASKET and INSERT ONE of THE JADES. Return to Caliban's View and
OPEN the RED CASKET - but DO NOT COLLECT THE BLOODSTONE! Return to
the Inner Watch and repeat the process with the SECOND JADE. Go
back (again!) to Caliban's View.  There should now be TWO
BLOODSTONES on the floor. COLLECT the BLOOD KEY and return to the
Inner Watch. PULL the LEVER and go SOUTH to the High Parapet and
throw yourself down the pit to arrive in the South Cellar. PULL
the LEVER and face the consequences! Go NORTH to the Main Cellar
and UNLOCK the DOOR USING the BLOOD KEY, then go WEST to Caliban's
Cellar. COLLECT the PIECE OF JET, OPEN the SECRET PANEL and
COLLECT the BANISH SCROLL (this is to defeat Dianos). STAND on the
CARVED SKULL and THROW the FLASK OF BLOOD at the PENTANGLE.  You
will then be transported back to Caliban's View.  COLLECT the TWO
BLOODSTONES and go EAST to the Inner Ward.

COLLECT the PETRIFY SPELL and CAST this on the TURQUOISE GEM that
results.  Go NORTH onto the Open Bridge. PULL the LEVER and go
NORTH and then WEST and descend the revealed stairs. You should
now be downstairs. COLLECT the DISPEL MAGIC SPELL.  OPEN the RED
CASKET and COLLECT the SECOND PIECE OF JET.  OPEN the STRONGBOX
and COLLECT all the GREEN GEMS. Return to the Ward Room.  CAST the
DISPEL MAGIC SPELL on EITHER of the POWER GEMS. This should
provide you with the final PIECE OF TURQUOISE. Go back to the
Inner Ward and then go EAST to Axel's Stand. COLLECT the ORB, OPEN
the SECRET PANEL and then COLLECT all the GREEN GEMS. Return to
the Inner Ward and then descend the stairs to the Cellar Stair.
PLACE the TWO RED ORBS UNDER THE HAMMER (one at a time!) and PULL
the LEVER. You should now be able to COLLECT TWO OPALS and then
return to Axel's Stand.

INSERT the TWO OPALS into the SKULL LOCK and go EAST to the Last
Watch.  DROP the IMMORTAL POTION and DRINK it while it is on the
floor - then RUN across the WOODEN SPIKES to the South door. Go
SOUTH to the Last Bridge.  The three Skull Locks accept the
following gems:- From LEFT to RIGHT - TURQUOISE, TIGER'S EYE and
JET. INSERT ALL SIX of these GEMS and go SOUTH to the Guard Post.
TOUCH the SKULL LOCK and let your energy drain until it stops.
You can then INSERT the TWO BLOODSTONES and proceed WEST to the
Inner Chamber.

OPEN the STRONGBOX and INSERT the BANISH SPELL and the ORB OF
KAMUL. DRINK the STAMINA POTION to recover all your lost energy
from the previous room.  Go NORTH and then WEST to Dianos' Lair.
This is the main chamber where you will confront Dianos!  Remember
it well!! Exit through the MIDDLE of the West doors to emerge in
the Great Cellar. COLLECT all the GREEN GEMS and return via the
Cellar stairs to the Last Watch.

COLLECT the IMMORTAL POTION, DRINK ONE DOSE and then RUN across
the spikes to return to the Inner Chamber. INSERT the IMMORTAL
POTION into the GREY STRONG BOX and then return to Dianos' Lair.
OPEN the GREY CHEST COLLECT all its contents (BANISH SPELL,
IMMORTAL POTION and MIND BLAST ORB). WAIT until Dianos appears,
CAST the MIND BLAST SPELL. DRINK the IMMORTAL POTION.  Approach
Dianos and CAST the BANISH SPELL on him REPEATEDLY until he
explodes!! COLLECT his HEAD and exit through the MIDDLE door ...
you have now completed CADAVER!!!!  In the last room, your STATUS
will be displayed.
