Demon's Tomb: The Awakening Hints

Help! I can't save all of the items from the fire!

  • 1 of 13: When you die, the game gives you a hint about what to try next time.
  • 2 of 13: If you don't know how to slow the fire, or what to do with the notebook, or where to put the items, stop here.
  • 3 of 13: Time is of the essence.
  • 4 of 13: You have only 29 moves to get all the items into the coffin.  You can't spare a single turn.
  • 5 of 13: You have to avoid continually picking up and dropping objects.
  • 6 of 13: Each item taken or dropped counts as a turn, even if the action is unsuccessful.  This wastes precious time.
  • 7 of 13: Try it again, this time taking only what you think you can carry (as opposed to saying GET ALL).
  • 8 of 13: You may have to make two trips at a couple of points.
  • 9 of 13: Don't read on unless you're completely stuck.
  • 10 of 13: Okay.  The complete sequence of moves that will allow you to save every item from the fire (except the sleeping bag, of course) is as follows:
  • 11 of 13: TAKE THE SLEEPING BAG.  NORTH.  PUT THE SLEEPING BAG IN THE HOLE.  NORTH. TAKE THE BIRO AND THE POLYTHENE BAG.  PUT THE NOTEBOOK IN THE BAG.  CLOSE THE BAG.  SOUTH.  PUT THE POLYTHENE BAG AND THE BIRO IN THE BUCKET.  DROP THE TORCH.  EAST.  TAKE THE GOLD PLAQUE.  WEST.  WEST.  DROP THE PLAQUE.  EAST. TAKE THE BUCKET AND THE TORCH.  WEST.  OPEN THE COFFIN.  PUT EVERYTHING IN THE COFFIN. TAKE THE PLAQUE.  PUT THE PLAQUE IN THE COFFIN.  CLOSE THE COFFIN. POINT AT IT.
  • 12 of 13: You may have noticed that took only 28 moves.  There's one more thing you need to do.
  • 13 of 13: You'll find out about that later, though.
