Demon's Tomb: The Awakening Hints

This cave part is impossible! Help!!

  • 1 of 14: Don't read these hints unless you're completely stuck.
  • 2 of 14: These hints deal with the cave maze itself.  If you need help getting a light source, refer to the appropriate question.
  • 3 of 14: The cave maze is not nearly as complex as it first seems.
  • 4 of 14: Dropping something in a room named "Cavern" will simplify things tremendously.
  • 5 of 14: After dropping an object in the Cavern, try moving in different directions.
  • 6 of 14: There is only one room named "Cavern", and all the passages but one lead back into that same room.  This creates an illusion that there are many rooms.
  • 7 of 14: If you can't find the right direction, remember that you can go up or down as well as in the four cardinal directions.
  • 8 of 14: The correct passage is up.
  • 9 of 14: Now you're in the Steep Passage.  From here you could go back down, or north, or up again.
  • 10 of 14: Down or north will just take you back to the Cavern, so go up again.
  • 11 of 14: Climb up the stone steps, and you're done!
  • 12 of 14: You can't make any wrong turns, or your light won't last long enough to see you through the cave maze.
  • 13 of 14: If you're still stuck, these instructions, which assume that you are carrying the torch and standing at the Beach just outside the cave, and that you turned off the torch at the right time during the prologue, will get you through:
  • 14 of 14: SOUTH.  TURN ON THE TORCH.  SOUTH.  WEST.  UP.  UP.  UP.
