The Beast Within Hints
How do I trap Von Glower?
1 of 10: Now that you've closed off his access to the outside, you must corner him in the furnace room (room #13).
2 of 10: Timing is not as critical now because he can't escape, and he won't let you get too close to him, so you can plan your strategy.
3 of 10: The first thing you want to do is close off one of the exits from the room directly above the furnace room, so close the north door in room #12.
4 of 10: Then move west and close the north door in room #11.
5 of 10: Now move west, north and east and close the north and west doors in room
6 of 10: Now just follow a path to the furnace room and Von Glower will be forced to stay ahead of you.
7 of 10: From room #7, proceed to 8, 4, 3, 2, 6, 10, 11, 12.
8 of 10: You should now be in the room just north of the furnace room.
9 of 10: If Von Glower is now in the furnace room, *SAVE YOUR GAME*!
10 of 10: PLEASE NOTE: Try as I may, once I had closed the 3 doors on the west side of the basement, I just couldn't trap Von Glower in the furnace room, so I used the directions provided by Richard Lawson in his walkthru.
