Walk through

Your initial mission was to rescue Elvira from the 3 studio.
Each studio will have a Elvira hidden somewhere. The first
two Elvira you find will always attack you. The real one will
follow you. After finding each Elvira, you will get a certain
item which is crucial at the end game. After that, you'll need
to get the 3 items enchanted by the Indian janitor at the
basement. But first you need to get his pipe first. Next, you
need to find a holy man to draw a pentagram. Then you'll
need to summon the Cerberus and use the sacred items to
destroy it. 

Outside Studio

break the window. Enter the guard room. Open the closet
and get the security key from the dead body. Click on the
keyboard, drag the security key to the key hole. Enter

Car Park

Open the back of Elvira's car. Open the tool box and get the
tools. The wirecutter is inside. 

Level 1

There is a lift here where you can access the basement and
level 2. The 3 studio can be access from this level. 

Basement

There is an Indian janitor here. Talk to him for some
information. Don't mention the fire water until later on. The
room behind him is cold, and there is a spirit guarding the
copper rod. Cast a fireball to warm up the room before
attempting to take the copper rod. 

Level 2

There are many rooms here. Explore the place and try to
find the radio and the diskette. 

There is a witch inside the custom room, kill it to get its eye.
Wear Sir Raleigh's costume. This will give you a rapier, the
best weapon you can get until you find the sword in the
catacombs. 

Get the 2 bottles of wine in the director's room. Save them
for the courage spell. 

Studio 1

There a 4 level in the catacombs interconnected by
passages going up and down. The lift cannot be accessed
until you have reach level 4. Turn on the lift when you are at
level 1, otherwise you won't be able to use the lift later on. 

A scorpion is guarding the scroll of binding inside a cave. 

There is a pool in a certain cave. Cast breath underwater to
go down. Drop everything before you go down the water.
Kill the creature in the water and get the coil of rope at the
bottom. It's weight will not allow you to surface if you carry
too much items with you. Alternatively, you can cast
buoyancy if you have found the fish bones in Studio 3. 

Somewhere in level 3 you will find a dead end with 2 vines
which you can cut. Cut the longer vine to swing across the
gap. You will not be able to swing back from there onwards.
So, check your inventory before you attempt this, if you
don't have the radio or telekinesis spell with you. Go back to
the building and get it first. 

Swing across and explore the place until you find the dead
body. Cast telekinesis to get the wallet from the web. Open
the wallet to get the lift key. You can see a large spider
across the gap. Walk to the rim and cast an ice dart at it, this
will make it cross over to this side. When it appears. move
back all the way and get out of this place. 

Find the lift on this level. Open it and go to the other side.
Close the lift door otherwise you can't use the lift later on. If
you did not lure the spider across the gap, it will appear here
and attack you. And you will probably get killed in the
process. Follow the passage and descend the web. There is
an Elvira here. Get the tomahawk. Go down and take the lift
to level 1. If you did not close the door, you must walk all the
way out. 

Studio 2

There are many rooms in the haunted house. Get the
barometer in the living room, but don't enter the passage
where you see a lady figure. You need the turn undead to kill
the undead that is inside. 

Enter the dinning room. Check to make sure you have at
least one fireball spell with you before you open the
cupboard on the wall. You will faint and get carried to a
room full of dead bodies. Get the boot and wear it. There are

on it. If you have cut the wires from his head, you will need
to restore a saved game or the game cannot be completed.

mix a turn undead spell. 

Go back to the kitchen, take the passage out. Cast the turn
undead spell on the undead that appears. Cast courage if
you always faint at the sight of it but remember that quite a
number of courage spells is needed through out the game.

room though.

bed. 

In the kid's room, get the toy cubes.

will fall out which you can use to disguise yourself. Shift the
bedsheet to reveal a hidden button under the bed. Press it to

candles and chalice with human blood. If you don't have the
silver crucifix, the vampires will kill you when you take the
candles.

the box of matches. Get the ladder. 

Go upstair. A vampire will run towards you. Use the tunning

one square infront of it and drop a toy cube. The ghost will
move forward. Move forward, open the door and enter the
library. You might want to keep a saved game here so as to

containing the way to mix a strong poison in the book. 

In the room with the fish tank. There are two ways to get
the key inside the fish tank. 

1. Cast telekinesis to get the key inside. 

2. Another more interesting way to get the key is to disguise
yourself as the lab assistant and talking to the scientist. To
dress up as the lab assistant you need the lab coat and the
fuzzy wig and the makeup box which you can find in Level
2. Look for the scientist inside the room oppposite the
frankenstein room and ask him to mix a strong poison. Then
use the poison in the meat in the kitchen and throw the meat
into the fish tank and get the key.

wizard at the bottom of the catacombs. 

There is a dead priest here. Cast the resurrect spell to
resurrect him. Get the holy water from the basin.

find Elvira. At level -4 and -5, there is a ghost that is flying
around. You can't really kill it, but it can't do any harm to
you if courage spell is active. 

At level -6. there is magician that will attack you if you are
not dress up like a wizard. You can pysche out the wizard if
you disguise yourself as a wizard. Otherwise, cast fireball or
nova to kill him. Elvira can be found here together with the
war lance. 

An angle of death might appears after you reached the
surface. Cast 5-6 holy blast to kill it. A blow from it is
sufficient to kill you so save before you go up to the church.
