Cadaver
Cadaver is a puzzle solving Adventure/RPG game by the Bitmap
Brothers. Gameplay takes place in a orthogonal view, with the player
guiding the dwarf Caradoc up through five treachorous levels of the
castle.
I was actually surpised that no walkthrough seemed to exist for
Cadaver, since its pretty alright game, so I decided to endevour to
make one myself. Currently only the complete solutions to levels 1,
2, and 4 are provided, with partial solutions to 3 and 5 (as far as
I've got). If anyone can add details, PLEASE, PLEASE, email at:
s9406702@yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au
Starting at different levels
=====================
Cadaver uses a special data system for defining each level. Thus,
you can start play on a different level simply by copying the files
in the data subdirectory of the level you wish to level 1. The batch
file below should be typed in and saved in the directory Cadaver is
located in under the name LEVEL.BAT:
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST DATA\0\ROUTINE1.TAD GOTO NOCOPY
REM NO BACKUP OF 1ST LEVEL EXISTS, SO MAKE COPY
MD DATA\0
COPY DATA\1\*.* DATA\0 > NUL
:NOCOPY
IF NOT "%1" == "1" GOTO NOTONE
COPY DATA\0\*.* 1 > NUL
GOTO END
:NOTONE
COPY DATA\%1\???%1.* DATA\1\???1.* > NUL
COPY DATA\%1\ROUTINE%1.TAD DATA\1\ROUTINE1.TAD > NUL
:END
LEVEL should be invoked with a number from 1 to 5, which indicates
the level you
wish to start at. Note that you should be carefull with saved games
saved across
different levels started in this manner; loading a saved game for a
different level which
was started at will crash the program.

Throw switch. get the candle, and put it near the northern spikes.
Jump over, and throw switch. S. Open chest, get book and key. You
then need to move the tiles to spell 'Dianos' from left to right. Do
this by first pushing titles down, and moving 'I A N' to the left,
while finally moving
'O S' to the right, and returning D to the top position to form:
D
I A N O S
then push the D to the bottem, and slide the N, then A, then I into
the northern three positions, then push D up to the center tile, as
in:
N
A
I
D O S
Push the 'D O S' titles to the far left, then drag the S, then the O
titles back to the right. Push the northern stack down by one, and
repeat the procedure for I, then A, then finally push the 'N O S' to
the left to spell 'D I A N O S'. The eastern door will unlock.
E, get the bottles, W, N, give the alkaline restorer bottle to the
thief, who'll give you some info. S, E, throw switch, N. Here there
is a gambling machines you can use your tokens on, by dropping them
on the holes. The southern one can give you gold, stamina potions,
and also a key. [it will break after it gives you the key; it
unlocks the door in the S, W, NW room which leads back into the room
which had four demons in it], the northern one can give you multiple
tokens, and the middle one can give you lots of tokens, but the
chance is smaller.
E, into the room with four pits. Fall down the western pit. You'll
need to throw the switch reasonably quickly. Do this by stacking two
bottles on the southern end of the chest [without moving it], and
making a diagonal jump from one corner of the chest onto it
[diagonal so the wall stops you from jumping right over it]. Throw
the switch and get back the bottles and the key. Open chest and get
the stuff. When the clock has completed three circuits, a lock
should appear on the northern wall. Quickly unlock it with the key
to raise the bars. N, get unknown [stamina] potion. E, N. In this
flame room wait around a bit [you wont get hit by the fire bolts as
long as you don't move into them; they won't appear on a position if
you stay still]. S, pick up the Unlock door wand, Bless potion, and
Mind Blast. S, S, S [teleport].
E, S, N, give the potion which aids eternal rest to the thief. He'll
tell you about needing four gold keys in the main room. As you
recall you had one which you unlocked lock 1 with, and you should
currently have another gold key which you got from the room to the
south. Once the other two gold keys are found, the locks should be
unlocked in the order 1, 4, 3, 2 [you've done 1 already].
Anyway, look at the thief to get a mind blast spell, S, E, N, E.
Fall in the northern pit and collect all the gold, and then follow
the route back to the four pit room again. Then fall down the
southern pit. Put some objects in front of the door to prevent roots
growing and blocking your escape, and then pick up the sacks as they
appear. Once finished, follow the root [heh heh] back to the four
pit room again.
E, E, run to the eastern side of the room [where the demons wont hit
you]. Cast dispel evil, and then hit the left one with a diagonally
thrown shirikan, and then the right one when it pauses between
shots. Cast unlock door on door, N, E. The symbols on the posts must
match the ones in the room two screens to the west. Do this by
pressing the levers in the order left, right, right, left. Press
button, E. Read the books to get info. W, W, W, press button, W,
open chest, get planet. E, E, N, E, drag chest to the fourth column
of squares on the wall from the left. Stand on chest and jump to
open hidden panel. Get the small moon. W, N, E, read books: one of
them (a book on marriages) has an unknown [unlock chest] spell,
examine tapestry and get key.
W, W, place candles in the center of the tiles which touch the
eastern door [this will block missiles which start]. Fall into
section get chest, and when bars rise, throw the switch, and drop an
object on tile which has changed to depress the switch [dont know
what it does]. Get the candles, and go E. Open chest and take the
two gold coins [DONT TAKE THE BRONZE COIN!]. Now would be a time to
drop a whole bunch of stuff you've been lugging around that you
don't need in one of the rooms, like spare Shirikans, Mind blast
spells, [you wont be needing weaponary again in this level], stamina
potions, etc. You can always come back for them.
W, W, open chest, and get the spells. Cast read magic on the unknown
scroll. Go back to the Adding machine room. One of the books in the
library told you four numbers: 29, 32, 16, 7. You've got to form
those totals using the four levels (where up is add, down is
subtract, and middle is nothing). Set the levels in each of the four
patterns to give the correct totals (U=up, D=down, N=neither):
29: D U N U 32: D D U U
16: U D D U 7: U D U N
W, cast unlock on chest, get planet, W, get planet, E, N. You should
have four planets by now, which must be placed on the correct poles
according the books on the planets scattered around. To do this, go
S, E, N, W, W, S to the upper room and drop the planets into the
following order:
fiery-planet NW hole little moon E hole
2-moon planet SW hole earth-like planet SE hole
Return to the Planetorium, and the four planets should be atop the
spikes, and the globe stopped spinning. Push the button in the
globe, and two hidden panels will reval the final two gold keys.
Return to Central Hall, either by the southern route or via the
northern door in the passage [make sure all the lone switches in
that area of the castle are down, and fiddle with the switch by the
door to open it]. Unlock the three locks in the order lock 4, lock
3, lock 2 to complete the level and be transported to the fifth, and
final level.
A few points unsolved sofar: the use (if any) of those four quartz
rocks I found earlier, getting into the room to the east of where
you entered the level, and the final cryptic message in a book: in
the North East tower the lever brings great rewards (might be the
room to the east of where you started which I haven't got into yet).
Level 5
======
Pick up the marble, E, pick up the marble, step on oe of the small
tiles to make a skull appear, put marbles in skull, E, get two
potions on pedestals, E, flick first switch, second switch, stand in
very northern end of eastern end of passage to avoid getting hit by
the twirlys, then when they're moving to the left open the secret
panel behind the second block and get the potion. Keep trying E
until you get through.
Pick up emerald, E,
