Cadaver is a puzzle solving Adventure/RPG game by the Bitmap Brothers. Gameplay takes place in a orthogonal view, with the player guiding the dwarf Caradoc up through five treachorous levels of the castle.
I was actually surpised that no walkthrough seemed to exist
for Cadaver, since its pretty alright game, so I decided to
endevour to make one myself. Currently only the complete
solutions to levels 1, 2, and 4 are provided, with partial
solutions to 3 and 5 (as far as I've got). If anyone can add
details, PLEASE, PLEASE, email at:
s9406702@yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au
Starting at different levels
=====================
Cadaver uses a special data system for defining each level. Thus,
you can start play on a different level simply by copying the
files in the data subdirectory of the level you wish to level 1.
The batch file below should be typed in and saved in the
directory Cadaver is located in under the name LEVEL.BAT:
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST DATA\0\ROUTINE1.TAD GOTO NOCOPY
REM NO BACKUP OF 1ST LEVEL EXISTS, SO MAKE COPY
MD DATA\0
COPY DATA\1\*.* DATA\0 > NUL
:NOCOPY
IF NOT "%1" == "1" GOTO NOTONE
COPY DATA\0\*.* 1 > NUL
GOTO END
:NOTONE
COPY DATA\%1\???%1.* DATA\1\???1.* > NUL
COPY DATA\%1\ROUTINE%1.TAD DATA\1\ROUTINE1.TAD > NUL
:END
LEVEL should be invoked with a number from 1 to 5, which
indicates the level you
wish to start at. Note that you should be carefull with saved
games saved across
different levels started in this manner; loading a saved game for
a different level which
was started at will crash the program.

the black book, jeweled casket. I don't know how to do it. They
must disappear; I've had some luck by throwing one at a time at
the spikes. You'll need to experiment to find it. I can't
remember how it did it when I originally found the solution.

E, into the room with four pits. Fall down the western pit. You'll need to throw the switch reasonably quickly. Do this by stacking two bottles on the southern end of the chest [without moving it], and making a diagonal jump from one corner of the chest onto it [diagonal so the wall stops you from jumping right over it]. Throw the switch and get back the bottles and the key. Open chest and get the stuff. When the clock has completed three circuits, a lock should appear on the northern wall. Quickly unlock it with the key to raise the bars. N, get unknown [stamina] potion. E, N. In this flame room wait around a bit [you wont get hit by the fire bolts as long as you don't move into them; they won't appear on a position if you stay still]. S, pick up the Unlock door wand, Bless potion, and Mind Blast. S, S, S [teleport].
E, S, N, give the potion which aids eternal rest to the thief. He'll tell you about needing four gold keys in the main room. As you recall you had one which you unlocked lock 1 with, and you should currently have another gold key which you got from the room to the south. Once the other two gold keys are found, the locks should be unlocked in the order 1, 4, 3, 2 [you've done 1 already].
Anyway, look at the thief to get a mind blast spell, S, E, N, E. Fall in the northern pit and collect all the gold, and then follow the route back to the four pit room again. Then fall down the southern pit. Put some objects in front of the door to prevent roots growing and blocking your escape, and then pick up the sacks as they appear. Once finished, follow the root [heh heh] back to the four pit room again.
E, E, run to the eastern side of the room [where the demons wont hit you]. Cast dispel evil, and then hit the left one with a diagonally thrown shirikan, and then the right one when it pauses between shots. Cast unlock door on door, N, E. The symbols on the posts must match the ones in the room two screens to the west. Do this by pressing the levers in the order left, right, right, left. Press button, E. Read the books to get info. W, W, W, press button, W, open chest, get planet. E, E, N, E, drag chest to the fourth column of squares on the wall from the left. Stand on chest and jump to open hidden panel. Get the small moon. W, N, E, read books: one of them (a book on marriages) has an unknown [unlock chest] spell, examine tapestry and get key.
W, W, place candles in the center of the tiles which touch the eastern door [this will block missiles which start]. Fall into section get chest, and when bars rise, throw the switch, and drop an object on tile which has changed to depress the switch [dont know what it does]. Get the candles, and go E. Open chest and take the two gold coins [DONT TAKE THE BRONZE COIN!]. Now would be a time to drop a whole bunch of stuff you've been lugging around that you don't need in one of the rooms, like spare Shirikans, Mind blast spells, [you wont be needing weaponary again in this level], stamina potions, etc. You can always come back for them.
W, W, open chest, and get the spells. Cast read magic on the
unknown scroll. Go back to the Adding machine room. One of the
books in the library told you four numbers: 29, 32, 16, 7. You've
got to form those totals using the four levels (where up is add,
down is subtract, and middle is nothing). Set the levels in each
of the four patterns to give the correct totals (U=up, D=down,
N=neither):
29: D U N U 32: D D U U
16: U D D U 7: U D U N
W, cast unlock on chest, get planet, W, get planet, E, N. You
should have four planets by now, which must be placed on the
correct poles according the books on the planets scattered
around. To do this, go S, E, N, W, W, S to the upper room and
drop the planets into the following order:
fiery-planet NW hole little moon E hole
2-moon planet SW hole earth-like planet SE hole
Return to the Planetorium, and the four planets should be atop the spikes, and the globe stopped spinning. Push the button in the globe, and two hidden panels will reval the final two gold keys.
Return to Central Hall, either by the southern route or via the northern door in the passage [make sure all the lone switches in that area of the castle are down, and fiddle with the switch by the door to open it]. Unlock the three locks in the order lock 4, lock 3, lock 2 to complete the level and be transported to the fifth, and final level.
A few points unsolved sofar: the use (if any) of those four quartz rocks I found earlier, getting into the room to the east of where you entered the level, and the final cryptic message in a book: in the North East tower the lever brings great rewards (might be the room to the east of where you started which I haven't got into yet).
