Blair Witch 3 : Elly Kedward

                  Solution by Peter Clark

Jonathon Prye begins the game by reading aloud a letter that he is
writing to Baltimore in Maryland. He must rediscover his own faith
before returning home. He will be travelling to the town of Blair
to investigate strange happenings.

Go forwards into the town and a woman who tells you that everyone
is leaving town will meet you. Try the doors of a few of the
houses and you will find that they are all locked up. Go towards
the church at the end of the street and two men will talk to you
and tell you that the only two people left in town are the
Magistrate and Father Goodfellow. Go to the house on the right as
you face the church and turn to your right as you enter.  You meet
Jonah, the magistrate, who will tell you that he has two suspects
locked up in the cells. He will also tell you about an old woman
called Elly Kedward who was accused of being a witch and left to
die in the forest. The two suspects in the jail are the town drunk
and Elizabeth Styler who is also accused of being a witch. Jonah
will suggest that you visit Coffin Rock and will give you a map
showing the way. He will also allow you to take his key to the
cells. Take the wanted poster from the wall in his office then
leave the house and go to the Church.

Go through the door at the back and talk to Father Goodfellow.
After you have talked to him, leave the church by the back door
and walk around the back of the church until you find the gallows
and the hanging woman. Go down the steps and use the key to enter
the jail. Talk to the drunk and he will ask you to fetch his
bottle of whiskey from the barn. Leave the jail and go back to the
main street. Go into the barn. This is the next building on the
same side as the Magistrate's house. Go inside and draw your gun,
as a mad dog will attack you. Kill the dog and then go into the
second stall where you will find the whiskey bottle. Take this and
the missing persons poster from the wall then go back to the jail.
Give it to the drunk and he will tell you more about Elly Kedward.
The woman in the cell next door will wake and give you more
information. Look at the strange markings on the floor of her
cell.  Leave the jail and follow the path around to the rear of
the town.  Go across the bridge past all the dead bodies and into
the woods.  Keep walking past the bodies until you come to a large
tree. Turn left here and keep going forward until you come to a
log bridge.  Cross the bridge and go forward until you reach the
intersection.  Go right here and go forward until you arrive at
Coffin Rock.  There is a small girl tied to the rock and, as you
go to look at her, zombies will attack you. You will have to kill
all the zombies before you are able to rescue the girl and
automatically return to the town.

You now find yourself at the church talking to Jonah and Father
Goodfellow. You discuss together the small girl who had been
missing. Jonah will give you his rifle. Father Goodfellow tells
you about a priest who is buried in the Cemetery. He has a cross
buried with him that has strong powers. He gives you a scroll and
tells you to read it out loud by the Cemetery gates. Leave the
church and go to the Cemetery. You read out the scroll and the
gates open. As you enter, you are attacked by more demons. When
you have killed all of them, the Priest demon will attack you. You
must kill this demon quickly before picking up the cross. Leave
the Cemetery and return the cross to Father Goodfellow at the
church. He will then teach you how to use it.

Leave the church and return to the jail. Talk to Styler and she
will ask you to fetch her spell book from her cottage as it
contains a map showing the way to Elly Kedward's home in the
woods. She gives you the key to her cottage. Leave the jail and go
back in front of the church towards the Cemetery. Her cottage is
the grey one just before you reach the Cemetery.  Open the door
and go in. It is quite dark so you will have to use your lamp to
see properly. You will find the spell book in the far corner by
the circle of candles. As soon as you have the book, another demon
will attack you. Kill this as quickly as possible.  Pick up the
test tube of health if you are in need of it. Go back to the jail
and give her the book. She will give you a spell box to use
against any trouble that you might encounter in the woods. Leave
the jail and go back into the woods.  As you enter the woods for
the second time you will see a white wolf.

You will automatically follow it to the house of Asgaya. Go
inside and he will explain the belief of Hecaitomix the Dark
Spirit who took non-believers as sacrifices. He tells you that you
must visit three worlds and bring them together and that you must
save the remaining children. You don't believe Asgaya or the Dark
Spirit tales that he tells. You say that you will have to follow
your own instincts. Asgaya tells you that you will remain
powerless until you overcome your fears.  Leave the hut and follow
the path. Turn left at the first junction and left again at the
next. You will have to kill the zombies on the way but you will
pick up extra strength and bullets. Turn left at the big tree and
then left again at the smaller tree stump.  Use the map with TAB
Key to find your way past the well to the Elly Kedward house. Go
inside and try to open the cellar trapdoor. The Kedward Demon will
talk to you and throw you out of the house telling you to return
only when you are ready.

Find your way back to Asgaya's using the map and the TAB Key. He
will give you a voodoo doll that will detect the presence of evil.
He also gives you something that will help you to see inside
yourself. Go back to the Kedward House and kill the demon then go
down into the cellar and rescue the Indian boy. He will give you
an eagle talisman that will enable you to travel great distances.
As you leave, Asgaya will appear and tell you about the Spirit and
the Demon Plane. He gives you a Twana that will enable you to
enter the Spirit Plane. He also gives you a restorative spell.
Follow the map to the Spirit gate and use the Twana on it.
Lightning bolts will flash around you and you will be transported
to the Spirit Plane. As you arrive, Asgaya appears and warns you
to be careful as, if you die here, you will also die in the real
world. Cross over each bridge killing the zombies along the way
and collect more manna and ammunition. Continue down through a
huge skeleton rib cage and across another bridge to enter a cave.
Deep into the cave you will be able to rescue another Indian boy
who will give you a Talisman.

Continue forward through the cave and, when you get to the other
end, you will need to kill a few more zombies before finding a
broken bridge. You will have to use the Eagle Twana to cross the
gap. On the far side you will have to kill a large flying demon
and release Hinto. He gives you a shaft that will produce
lightning bolts. He transports you and the girl back to the Mortal
Plane.

You are now back at the church talking to the priest and Jonah. He
will tell you that Elizabeth wants to talk to you. Go to the jail
and talk with her. Ask her how to find the Demon Gate.  She will
ask you to examine the great tree in the centre of the forest
before she will tell you how to get to the Demon Gate.  Enter the
forest again and, using the map, find your way to the great tree.
Pick up the Bag of Disease from the tree and return to the jail,
killing lots of zombies on the way, and give it to Elizabeth and
she will give you some protection for the Demon Plane. She also
tells you how to enter the demon Gate.  Hirrum, the drunk, tells
you where to get some bones.

Follow your map to the Indian Burial Ground. Go up to the gate and
use the Bear Talisman. Kill the zombies and the two stick
monsters. You may need to use your melee weapon or the flaming
cross to deal with the stick monsters. If you touch their blue
glowing hearts they will not return, but you must not be holding a
weapon while you do this. Once the stick monsters are dead, the
fire will go out and the path forward will be open.  Continue
along the path. Matt-ann-tote will try to kill you. You will have
to kill him before you are able to pick up the Indian bones. Even
when you have them, more zombies will appear for slaughter. Return
towards town and you will automatically be taken to Asgaya's
house. He will give you the Rain Vial Spell that will make
thunderstorms. When you arrive back in town, Jonah will tell you
that Elizabeth wants to talk with you again. He also gives you a
bible as an exorcism spell.

Go to the jail and give the bones to Elizabeth. She will make a
Strength Twana for you that will enable you to enter the Demon
Plane. She also gives you a charm to summon the Dark Wolf. Talk to
Hirrum before leaving the jail and going back into the forest. The
wolf will lead you to the Demon Gate.  Unfortunately, on arrival
at your destination, the wolf changes into Tawiscara who will try
to kill you. Kill him and then walk up the mound of rocks and use
your Demon Twana to enter the Demon Plane. It will start raining
blood and you will be transported to the Demon Plane. Kill the
skeletons as you go together with the wild dogs that will attach
you. Pick up the Golden Skull. Continue along the path and kill
the zombie priest and all his skeleton friends. Save the Indian
child and he will give you a Gumoyoda Talisman which will enhance
the user's strength. Pick up all the Golden Skulls that you find
on the way. There should be five of them in total. Fight your way
through the rest of the zombies etc until you arrive at a place
where there are five pedestals. Put the five Golden Skulls on them
and way across the water will appear. Cross the bridge that has
now opened and, go forward and open the Demon Gate. Go forward to
the next door where you will have to use your strength talisman to
open it. Inside, Baal and a few more skeletons will meet you. Kill
them all and, just as you think that you are winning, Hecaitomix
will arrive. It will appear that he kills you but, in the nick of
time, Asgaya arrives and sacrifices himself for you. You must now
leave this land before it crumbles around you and the gate is
closed forever. You have 300 seconds to make your escape which is
quite adequate if you don't stop anywhere for long.

When you get out, you will see that Elizabeth Styler is waiting
for you. She has been taken over by Hecaitomix. You will have to
use the Exorcism Bible to kill this combination. Now Elizabeth is
free of Heciatomix's power and she wants you to stay but you have
regained your faith and must return to your own church. Elizabeth
must leave the town or she will be burnt as a witch. Perhaps you
will meet again.

Thus the story ends. However, if you kill Elizabeth instead of
freeing her, the scene will cut to a meeting with you, the
Magistrate and the Priest talking in the graveyard over
Elizabeth's grave. You will be asked to stay on as the town
constable but you will still decline and return to your own
church.

THE END
