Sanitarium Hints

Text Solution - Morgan's Last Game

  • 1 of 8: The checkboard is divided into 50 blocks - 5 across and 10 down.  Begin by labeling the rows and columns of the checkboard.  Number the rows 1 through 10 beginning with the bottom right corner and counting upward.  Letter the columns A through E, also beginning with the bottom right block and ending with the bottom left block.
  • 2 of 8: Max's black twin occupies the top half of the checkboard (Rows 6 through 10). Max must maneuver in the bottom half (Rows 1 through 5).
  • 3 of 8: Max starts in block C5.  To get the first orb, he must somehow make it through the black muck to block E3.
  • 4 of 8: Go to A5, A3, B3, B1, E1 and to E3.  Take a left and get the orb.
  • 5 of 8: The second orb is a bit more difficult.  Max begins in block E3.  He needs to eventually land at E5, but he has to move around the board to get there.
  • 6 of 8: Go to E1, C1, B2.  Then, keeping the right mouse button pressed down, move to on, near (or, preferably ~above~) E6; ensuring that the yellow movement-arrow is always pointing towards the top of your screen (or top left).    Max and his twin may possibly shunt back and forth a bit, but the general direction should be towards the top left, toward E5.  Move forward and grab Orb No. 2.
  • 7 of 8: Getting the third orb is easier.  Max starts at position E5.  His destination is E1.
  • 8 of 8: From E5, go straight downwards to E1.  Turn right to get the last orb.
