SECTION 3: REVISION HISTORY
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
V. 0.5 - Started in 1996, I made a written walkthrough
        "for a friend", after being inspired by another
        walkthrough, published on a 1991 Italian FAQ booklet.
        This took me 2 days to write... without having ever
        played the game.

V. 0.7 - 1998 -A hard drive crash forced me to buy a new computer
        and write a new FAQ... after my friend tried to beat the game
        with my first FAQ and failed miserably.

V. 0.9 - 1998 -Discovered that the only FAQ available
        on the 'net was a little outdated (1991...) so
        I rewrote the 0.7 adding character list.

V. 1.0 - 1999 -Added a "FAQ" section, rewrote
        "Endings".

V. 1.1 - 2000 -Added "Emelda's book of recipes" to the
        FAQ. Added "Deaths" section.

V. 1.5 - 2000 -After reading that the game is still
        being sold, I removed the "book of recipes" to
        avoid legal problems for "giving out copy protection
        codes".

V. 1.7 - Rewrote the FAQ completely to make it as
        accurate as possible.

V. 1.8 - 2001 -Decided to insert the first spell, "Herbal Honey", to
        help people get to see some of the game... Then I forgot
        about the FAQ for a few months...

V. 1.9 - 2001 -After June exams for Gr. 12, I found the
          FAQ, edited it for language and content and fixed
          minor problems, added "Monster" section.

V. 2.0 - 2002 -Added stuff inspired from the information provided by
        Yusuf Sungluru on the Monster stats.

V. 2.1 - 2002! At the beginning of February, this had to
        come out! I hope it will be the final update for at least
        5-6 months... until I decide to complete my Ultimate EDT's
        Elvira I Compendium, including all possible maps, deaths
        and all the other stuff a true Elvira player must know in
        order to truly enjoy the adventure! Have fun!

V. 2.2 - 2002! After finding out VOLUME published a new release of the
        FAQ, I made another update to erase the statements regarding his
        work. You did a fine job, my friend! This is the version you are
        reading...

SECTION 4: AUTHOR'S THOUGHTS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
My Elvira experience began in a sunny Italian city during the first
days of April 1996. I asked a friend of mine about the first time he ever
got scared in front of a game. He told me about a game called Elvira,
where a wolf would jump at you and a gruesome death scene would show up.
I told him that I had the game and asked if he advised I install the game
and play it. He basically said, in his funny Sardinian, "Knock yourself out",
and so I did. The game was not Elvira I, however, it was the sequel, and, after
playing for a few minutes, I found out that I needed the manual my mother
had thrown away when she cleaned my room one day, because it had "obscene
pictures on it". :D Anyways, I forgot about Elvira 2 until September 1996,
when a good friend of mine gave me his manual since I'd lost mine, and I was
finally able to play. After moving to another country in 1998, I finally
found the  game I was looking for and realized that there was only one
widespread FAQ for this game on the 'net. I started writing one and...
I finally got here! I hope this document will be useful to you!

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 4.1: HOW TO GET THIS GAME
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I bought Elvira 1 and 2 on floppy disk in a computer game clearance sale.
I guess I was pretty lucky to find these games, considering how hard it is
to find games on floppies these days, so I will give you some advice on how
to get them. The advice is the following:
Be honest! Buy the game online at http://www.adventuresoft.com!
and you will be able to possess the entire Elvira trilogy, manuals
and codewheels included, so that everything will be perfectly legal!
I found this game on the Internet after going through years of constant
searching, I admit it, but without the Book of Recipes (not included in
this FAQ for legal reasons) there is really nothing to do... therefore, I
had to buy the game, but I am sure it's worth every penny I spent!
Be smart! Get three amazing games that will surely provide you with hours
of fun!

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 4.2: WHERE TO CONTACT ME
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well... I don't think anyone will want to contact me, but if you do, well,
feel free to mail me... and please, no spamming!
The address is simple... and it is easy to remember!

[email protected] is the solution to all your Elvira needs!

Or... if you understand Italian, you can sign up for the Light Bringers
Forum on http://www.lightbringers.cjb.net and write in the "General" forum
to ask me whatever you want on the "EDT" topic!

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 4.3: WHERE TO GET THIS FAQ
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Only 6 months ago, this section had a proper address. Regrettably, my
website is not running anymore, due to misplacement of funds in my company
(basically I did not see a single dollar from the profits even though
I worked twice as hard as all of the members put together). So, this FAQ
will be placed, under the webmaster's discretion, on this website ONLY
(at least for now)

http://www.gamefaqs.com         -       THE GAME FAQS WEBSITE

Also, if you understand Italian, you could try and enter the Light Bringers
website at http://www.lightbringers.cjb.net and join the Forum, opening
a thread in the GAMES section requesting this FAQ, or other EDT products...

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 5: INTRODUCTION TO ELVIRA - MISTRESS OF THE DARK
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You surely remember the Queen "B" Movies character, Elvira, right?
Well, if you don't, I'm surprised. Cassandra Peterson created the character
of Elvira, a sort of female Crypt Keeper who entertained her guests with
"scary" stories. Only one movie was based on Elvira's character, and
that movie is known as Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. (Same title as this
game...) If you want to watch the movie before you play the game, that's
fine. Except for the basic storyline, nothing in the movie will spoil your
Elvira experience. It's great fun, regardless of what the critiques said...
This game can be quickly qualified as an adventure/RPG type of game. Spell
mixing, puzzles and sword wielding provide a unique experience that has
never been this deep in any other games. Elvira is THE game. A basic storyline
is the following: as an amateur ghoul-buster, you have been called by a
lady (Elvira)in England to help her get rid of the evil that has taken
over her castle, a kind of evil that is linked to the resurrection of her
evil ancestor, Emelda.

Speaking of graphics, the game is absolutely AMAZING considering the time
it was made. Full 256-color VGA in 1990, twelve years ago, was not too
common, and the various animations are really well done. Enemies scream,
wounds open on their bodies, body parts are severed, and various different
scenarios are included (some of them are: catacombs, castle, courtyard,
garden maze). Underwater action is also present to provide a truly unique
experience!

The storyline is simple and straight-forward: kill Emelda to save Elvira
and the world from evil. The gameplay is good and easy, I just had some
problems figuring out how to mix spells, but that's no big deal... just
drag the ingredients to the left side of the book! The fighting system is a
little too mechanical, and it might seem that there is no difference between
clicking on the buttons for the attacks or clicking on the actual character...
Well, there are differences! The main one is the fact that it is possible
to fool the game by finding a spot where it is hard for the enemy to parry
and the fight will be won!

The music is another good point for the game: Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
features a different track for every new area in the game: pretty impressive,
for 1990, huh? Can't get enough of this game! The sound effects are really
well done, monsters and enemies scream, wolves howl, hawks shriek, etc.
A really good effort.

My personal opinion of the game can be summarized as follows:

Graphics              : 9.5/10
Music                 :  10/10
Sound                 : 8.0/10
Storyline             : 8.0/10
Gameplay              : 9.5/10
Innovation            : 9.5/10
Overall               : 9.0/10
Difficulty            : Medium/Hard
Buy/Rent              : Buy!!! It's a MUST HAVE! (Can't rent it anyways...)

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 6: CHARACTERS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
?????? - Your character. Apparently, he does not have a name... he is
        defined as the ghoul buster Elvira paid to get rid of the evil
        critters that live in the castle... I will refer to this guy
        as "you" throughout this FAQ!

Elvira - The Mistress of the Dark. The owner of Castle Killbragant and your
        boss... she will indirectly help you solve puzzles once or twice
        during the game, but her main job is to mix your spells, provided
        that you have the manual and the right ingredients (because you
        bought the game, RIGHT?)

Emelda - Another major character in this game, Emelda is Elvira's evil
        ancestor. It will be up to you to stop the evil that she has
        started in Castle Killbragant.

Captain - You meet him for the first time once you try to enter the castle.
         He is possessed by Emelda's evil and will try to kill you as soon
         as you enter his room again.

Hairy Man - This man hides a secret. In order to save him from his torment
           you will have to use a silver tipped.......

Cook   -  Man, what an ugly woman! Well, she is not a woman, but she surely
         knows how to cook for humans and WITH humans! However, as stated
         by Elvira, her food tastes all the same because she does not use
         salt...

Female Vampire - AAAAAGH! Kill her! She stays in her bedroom all the time,
                luckly for you.

Torturer - This guy's dead, but don't touch his stuff until you've found
          an appropriate tomb for him to rest in peace...

Knight - Invincible in close combat... what must we do to kill him?

Falconeer - Another good man in this castle... he has a real passion for
           falcons, about challenging him and his pets?

Weresomething - This creature can be found guarding one of the doors inside
               the catacombs. Make sure to chop his arm off... and to use
               a real weapon against him!

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 6.1: MONSTERS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
NOTA BENE: All statistics for the enemies are contained in section 6.2

Guards - your basic enemy. They come in four different colours, in order of
        strength: red, blue, green, purple

Monks - creatures dressed in brown robes, swinging swords or maces. The
       maced ones are the strongest monks.

Archers - only met on the battlements of the castle. Weaker than most guards
         they only come in red, but they have a steel helmet on their head.

Skeletons - only met in the dungeons, they come in different colours as
           well. However, the red skeleton protecting the torturer's
           chamber is the strongest creature in the dungeons.

Goblins - they stole Elvira's ring, they can steal everything you have,
         including the flesh from your bones! Be careful not to touch
         them... they burn and bite!

Gill men - armed with skulls, these creatures will eat the crap out of you
          if you do not react quickly. Only found in catacombs.

Skulls - Flying bones, the gill men's weapons, these animated skulls will
        eat your life out... pay attention!

Emelda's maids - Knife or spell, that is the question!

SECTION 7: WALKTHROUGH
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This section is divided into seven phases, and you will find this division
useful when trying to remember the quests which you have not completed.
Whenever I mention a spell, the ingredients can be found anywhere, you just
have to look for them. Except for the spell "Herbal Honey", I did not
include any other spells with ingredients to avoid copy protection problems.
Just use the "Emelda's book of Spelles for Ye of Magickal Artes" included
within the Elvira package to mix the spells you need.
And now, let's go on to the walkthrough!

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 7.1: BEGINNING THE GAME
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The game starts off with your character standing outside the entrance
to Castle Killbragant. You can get a glimpse of the castle layout by
looking at the small sign beside the entrance, but one way or the other,
you will have to enter the castle, eventually. Whoops! There goes the
gate! Seems that you are stuck here for the rest of the game. Now, now
now, what should we do? I would personally advise to be good boys and
to enter the guardhouse to the left. Wow! This guy's addicted to something!
Well, no time to find out, since he throws you in a damp and scary dungeon,
to be eaten by one of Emelda's pets. But wait! Elvira comes to the rescue
and tells you the whole story! She also gives you a dagger (make sure to
USE it), two bottles (CONSUME them) containing Fire Dagger and Fingerlight
and a Wooden Heart in Algae Sauce spell. DO NOT CONSUME THE WOODEN HEART! You
will need it later in the game, when your LIF points start to get low!
Anyways, you find yourself standing outside the dungeon, with a blacksmith
shop in front of you. Go outside the stable entrance and take some hay. If
you want to enter the stables make sure to save the game, because you will
meet the hairy man who will tear you apart... but we will worry about him
later on in the game. Enter the castle and then enter the first door you
see on your left. Get the black book with the pentacle, it is Emelda's spell
book. Exit the library and enter the door directly in front of you. Take the
stake and the monstera plant. Read the diary and notice the reference to
a missing ring. Get out of the study and head forward, entering the first
door on your right. Get the absinthe, leave, and go forward until you reach
the staircase. Go down, give Elvira the black book, turn to your right and
take the honey and wine. Turn around once again, get the mitts, put canvas
bag into inventory and move the burning coal from the fire to the bag, then
get the bag. Ask Elvira to mix the spell "Herbal Honey" for you, (this is
the only spell for which I will be giving out the ingredients) put honey and
hay as your ingredients and drink the bottle. Drop the ingredients you found
so far (Monstera, Wine and Honey) and leave via the stairs.

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 7.2: OF WEAPONS, PLANTS AND SPELLS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Facing the castle entrance as soon as you leave Elvira's kitchen, you should
see a red guard coming at you. If you don't, you probably will as soon as
you open the first door on your left. Kill the guard and enter the room.
Get the longsword, crossbow and large shield. USE the sword and the shield,
drop the dagger. The suit of armor is REALLY heavy, and you might fall asleep
on the job from tiredness, thus ending the game, so I would advise leaving
it behind... it's not like you are going to need it, anyways!
Now, now, now... you have a crossbow, but you don't have any bolts! Well,
where do you think you are going to get them? Inside the castle, of course!
However, do not go upstairs just yet. Instead, leave the castle, go around
a little bit until you find the gate to the garden area. Kill the guard,
and get the ingredients along the way by searching all of the bushes you
find around. Look! A door! Nope. It's locked. Look! An archery target!
Nope. You don't have any bolts. Oh, well, go through the archway, take the
clover, turn to the left, take the mushrooms and turn around. Strainght
ahead... until you are facing a wall. Turn to your left, and go through the
door. OH MY GOD! This guy has been torn apart! Oh, well, sucks to be him.
Take the maggots from his body, take the sledgehammer, grab the crucifix,
look in the box on the table, put the packets of seeds on the table and
take the key. Go back out, ignore the maze entrance, and go to the door you
saw earlier. UNLOCK it, then open it. Get ready to kill two monks armed with
swords, then enter the garden. Click on all plants (can't remember the names
of the plants? You probably forgot to drink your herbal honey) and get all
the ones that are listed as spell ingredients in your Emelda book.
Get some more ingredients from the bushes you might have missed the first
time around and go back to the castle. Now you are ready to explore the upper
floor of the castle! Go up the stairs, and enter the first door you see.
Quickly use the stake and the sledgehammer, and the female vampire will be
dead before you can say "antidestabilimentarismo" (one of the longest words
in the Italian language). Get the dust she becomes, and open the wardrobe
to get some bolts. Now, as soon as you leave the room, proceed in a clockwise
fashion, and you will eventually return to the starting point. All of the
enemies on this floor are monks, and in one of the room the monks will be
swinging maces. In that room, get the bible and open it to find a prayer
scroll. On your right, at some point, you will find a door. Kill the monk,
enter the bathroom and look in the crack in the wall, getting the laudanum.
Don't worry about that locked door, it's the door to Elvira's room, strictly
forbidden for you unless invited (HINT HINT!). Go down the stairs, and ask
Elvira to mix some more spells for you...
Now, go back upstairs and exit via the main door. Elvira will scream and tell
you that the cook has taken over the kitchen, and you will need to kill her
in order for Elvira to go back and mix more spells for you. Trust me, you'll
need more spells. If you want, you can enter the castle again and go to the
second floor into Elvira's room, where she will give you hints about the cook
("All of her food tastes the same, because she doesn't use salt". Go back
outside and save the game. Now, let's go onto the next part...

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 7.3: THE FIRST FOUR KEYS - TRIP TO THE DUNGEON
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now, you are outside the castle area. Go to the garden area, and take three
shots at the archery target. After you have mastered the fine art of archery,
take the three bolts stuck in the target and enter the archway. Go north, and
you will find yourself facing a falconeer and one of his pets. SAVE the game
and click on the man to challenge him. As soon as you see the falcon, USE the
crossbow and the falcon will die, while his owner will fade... click on the
falcon, get the bolt, the feather, and... whoa! A gold key with SECUNDUS
written on it! Now, you can go back to the castle courtyard. Go around until
you are facing the blacksmith's shop and enter. SAVE the game, look in the
box on your right, take the pot, place the pot on the fire and put the
crucifix in the pot. Take a bolt and place it in the pot, creating a silver
tipped crossbow bolt. Go back to the stables, enter and click on the hairy
man. He will tell you to kill the hound with a silver-tipped... Well, you
know already, just USE the bolt as soon as you can and the creature will be
destroyed. Go forward, grab the horsehair, go forward, face the stall and
drag the tethering ring to your inventory. Grab the gold key and place the
ring back in the hole. Now, now, now, we have two keys already. About going
for the third one? Face the castle entrance, and SAVE the game. If you have
not consumed the Thorny Splinter you had at the beginning of the game, do
so now, and you will get a Fire Dagger scroll. Ok, this is the plan. Enter
the door to your right, and quickly zap the captain with three fire daggers.
If you can't, it will be a long battle, so restore and try again. Eventually,
you will kill him. Click on all the papers on the board, and remove the
warning to soldiers "not to remove the crown". Get the gold key behind the
paper, and get ready for a stimulating trip to the castle dungeons!
Enter the door, enter the second door, and get ready for another clockwise
exploration of this place. In the third corridor, you will find a door on
you right that is being guarded by a red skeleton. He is the strongest
creature of the dungeon, but it should be no problem for you at all. Enter
the room he was guarding, get the bag of salt. Now SAVE the game, drag the
ring from the floor to inventory, click on the skeleton and take both key
and skeleton. Now, place the canvas bag in the room view, drag the fire
tongs from room to canvas bag and take canvas bag. DO NOT REMOVE THE TONGS
UNTIL I TELL YOU TO DO SO! You will be killed instantly. Now that you have
the salt, it's time to go back to the castle. At the end of this area, you
should have 5 webs, 10 spiders, 5 earwigs, 5 beetles and 5 centipedes.

SECTION 7.4: KITCHEN, BATTLEMENTS, KNIGHT AND SPELLS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Go back to the kitchen, throw the salt at the cook and watch her melt.
Elvira will come back and thank you, then she will get back to work. Mix some
long-range spells like Fingerlight, then put all keys and ingredients in
canvas bag, drop everything except spells, sword, shield, crossbow and bolts.
Go upstairs to the battlements and go around hacking and slashing. At some
point, you will meet a knight "that looks invincible in close combat". USE
the crossbow and make him fall down into the well. Do not waste too many long
range spells and bolts, as you will need them in the next section. Go back
downstairs, go into the kitchen and ask Elvira to mix some spell-protection
spells like Maiden's Turnover, Knightyme Pleasure, etc. Again, you must drop
everything except the items mentioned earlier, because now we will go around
investigating the issue of the missing ring. Go back to the garden area, and
this time SAVE the game before entering the most interesting part of the
whole game: the garden maze.

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 7.5: THE GARDEN MAZE, CHURCH, CRUSADER
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Proceed through the maze picking up ingredients along the way. A word of
advice on the goblins: if they touch you, no matter how, you are dead (At
least, 90% of the time you are. In the remaining 10%, they steal stuff from
you, or you start burning. Not pleasant). Use your bolts and long range
spells, and NEVER, ever use a sword. Wander around, and try to reach the
entrance to the goblins' lair. At this point, SAVE the game. There might be
little eyes looking at you from the darkness within, so use a couple of bolts
or spells to make them disappear and enter the area. Grab Elvira's ring and
go forward to reach the pond area. Grab all of the ingredients and work your
way through the maze until you reach the exit (this part can become VERY
frustrating, but after beating the game 15-20 times you will probably memorize
the way through this place. You won't have to worry about goblins anymore, at least!
Exit the garden area, and go back inside the castle. Go forward, past the
kitchen stairs, and you will find two doors. The door to the west leads to an
empty grand hall. The door to the right leads to a church inside the castle.
Look at the altar, and look at the cross. Yup, that's where Elvira's ring comes
in handy. Place it in the hollow space inside the cross, and watch the laser
show. Go through the hole, grab the crown (DO NOT LEAVE THIS AREA WITH IT!)
and face the mural. Click on it. Notice the Latin writing. USE the prayer
scroll, and place the crown on the skeleton's head. Take the crusader's long
sword, and leave this place. Go back to the kitchen, ask Elvira to mix the
spell called "Glowing Pride" for which you did not have the ingredients
before. Turn to your left, click on the dumbwaiter, drag the Glowing Pride
to the dark tunnel, then click on the tunnel. Elvira will go inside and
return with the fifth gold key! Way to go! Grab your stuff from the room
area, and go back outside.

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 7.6: THE CATACOMBS, WERESOMETHING, MOAT
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Go to one of the corner towers and enter the catacombs. Look around all you
want, but make sure to do these things when you are done exploring:
1) Inside one of the hollow skulls located on every door of the catacombs,
  you will find a bottle of Dragon's Blood. Take it.
2) Always open the left coffins FIRST. If you come across an empty one, put
  the torturer's bones inside and seal the lid. DO NOT OPEN THE RIGHT ONE!
3) At some point, you will meet a grey humanoid creature holding a rock in
  its hand. Make sure you USE the crusader's sword before you fight it.
  You will need good timing, but keep your cursor on the creature's hand
  and you will probably chop it right away. As soon as you do, quickly
  strike the creature on the top of the head. Grab the stone from the
  chopped hand, and enter the room the creature was guarding. Open the right
  coffin, and take the rusty key. USE the long sword before leaving.

After doing these three steps, go back to the room where you placed the
bones to rest, SAVE and open the right coffin. You will find yourself in
a pretty damp situation. Go down until you reach the bottom. Go forward until
you reach a gate, and UNLOCK and OPEN it. Go through the gate until you reach
the end of the tunnel, then go up to get some air. Now, turn around, face the
wall completely, and turn around once again. Go one forward, go down, turn to
the right, and go four spaces forward. You will see the knight's body. Click
on the sword, and get the sixth gold key. Turn around, go four times forward,
turn left, emerge to get some air, go back on the bottom of the moat, go through
the tunnel, and as soon as you can go up, do so and you will find yourself
inside the castle well. Get the moss and climb up the rope. Now, go back to
the castle, into the kitchen. Put the coal back from the bag to inventory,
then take it again. Put the tongs on the coal, grabbing it. Go back outside,
and get ready for the final part of the game.

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 7.7: CANNON, TOWER, CHEST, EMELDA
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Go back on the castle battlements, then find the tower with the cannon on the
top level. USE the tongs on the cannon, and you will blow part of a tower
off. Go to that tower, go up, and you will find yourself facing a chest
sealed shut with six impressive looking locks. SAVE the game, and place the
keys in the locks in this order: PRIMUS, SECUNDUS, TERTIUS, QUARTUS, QUINTUS,
SEXTUS. Open the chest, get the dagger and the Scroll of Spiritual Mastery.
Go back downstairs, into the courtyard. Go down to the catacombs, and travel
quickly to avoid Emelda's maids. At some point you will find a place with a
hole in the ground. Click on the hole, place the rock you got from the guy
you killed earlier in the hole, then go down. Now, the final sequence will
start. Emelda will rise from her throne, light two braziers, and start
draining your lifeforce. Place the crusader's sword on the pentacle, and
Emelda will stop for three-four seconds. Use the scroll of Spiritual Mastery
to make her change into her true form. Finally, use the Dagger to go for the
kill. YOU DID IT! You saved the world once again... now enjoy a well deserved
rest together with your mistress, so that you can get your just reward...

SECTION 8: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Q: I don't know how to mix spells, what do I have to do?
A: Drag the ingredients from the right page to the left page, click on MIX.

Q: I did what you told me, but Elvira kicks me out of the game! Why?
A: Buy the game and get the manual, that's the copy protection!

Q: What is the "weresomething"? Why did you call it that way?
A: When I played the game for the first time, I did not know what kind of
  creature the catacomb guardian was, and seeing that it was humanoid, I
  assumed it could change between human and animal forms, so... he is the
  weresomething!

Q: I keep on getting killed by the weresomething! What do I do?
A: Make sure you USED the crusader's sword before fighting this guy.
  Check your timing and aim at the creature's hand. Once you cut its
  hand off, quickly hit the creature's head.

Q: What does the Latin writing on the crypt mural mean?
A: "Quicumque Meum Regnum Redintegrat, Ille Gladium Salutis Tenebit" literally
  means: "He who will rebuild my kingdom will have the sword of salvation".
  Thanks to my father for helping me translate this... I was never good at
  Classical Languages!

Q: Why does the torturer kill me every time I take the tongs?
A: Place them in the canvas bag, and do not touch them until you bury the guy!

Q: Are you obsessed with this game?
A: I used to be. Now I find it fun, but once I beat it... well, now I can
  beat it in less than 30 minutes... gets repetitive but it's quite fun.

Q: How can this FAQ be so good? (Alex asked me this...)
A: It's because a genius wrote it...

Q: Can I do anything that cannot be done with other FAQs to this one?
A: What do you think? NO. Without my permission you can't do anything to
  or with this FAQ... that is, break copyright law in any way. No one
  prevents you from burning it, eating it, make paper planes and boats
  out of it, use it in your dog's litter box, use it as toilet paper
  (ouch!) and using it to clean your car's interiors, but I would advise
  you use it for gaming purposes...

SECTION 9: EXTRAS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This section contains things that are not essential to the game, but it
also includes spoilers like maps or detailed description of sequences. Do
not read this before playing the game to the end at least once!

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 9.1: WAYS TO DIE / LOSE AND DEATH SEQUENCES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Yes. Some people actually wanted me to include this gorefest list of deaths
found within the game Elvira... you can't even imagine what it took me to
get killed by every creature at least once and to get stuck at least twice.
I think that the information found within this section is 100% accurate,
but if you find a mistake please inform me, I'll be happy to include your
name in the special thanks section!

1)  Getting killed by any guard, skeleton, monk, captain or knight will show a
   severed head.
2)  Getting slaughtered by the wolf will show a head with a neck that has
   been torn apart
3)  Letting the falcon get to you will show a head with the eyes ripped off
4)  Letting the vampire kill you will show a head with vampire bites
5)  Getting killed by a goblin, skull or gill man will show a scratched head
5b) Entering the goblins lair with the "eyes" still in will show goblins
   scratching you and the scratched head.
5c) Being paralyzed by a goblin will automatically lead you to the lair and
   death 5b will be shown.
6)  Entering the kitchen and not throwing the salt while the cook is in there
   will show a severed head floating in a pot of vegetable soup
7)  Taking the tongs without burying the torturer first will show a head with
   the eyes burned off
8)  Taking the crown and leaving the crypt will show a body under boulders
9)  Getting killed by the weresomething with the rock will show a face with
   a broken forehead
10) Getting killed by the handless weresomething will show a picture of the
   creature bashing you to death with a femur
11) Getting drained completely by Emelda (VEEERY HARD!) will show a picture
   of a purple, wrinkled head (I only got this once 'cause I was slacking
   off and fought like a moron taking a lot of damage...)
12) Drowning will show a blue head
13) Falling asleep will show Elvira firing you
14) Opening the chest without putting the keys in the specific order (Primus,
   Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus) will show the guardian of
   the chest grabbing you and... a bloody boot and blood coming out of the
   chest itself!
15) Using ingredients carelessly will end the game since you won't be able
   to go any further without the item or ingredient (trust me, it happens!)
   Especially with that Glowing Pr... whooops! I talked too much!
16) Trying to mix spells without the manual will show two Elvira warnings,
   and she will kick you out of the game upon the third mistake.

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 9.2: THE ENDING
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Yes, I know, the ending of the game kinda sucked. But I've come to realize
that the entire final sequence is a sort of interactive ending.
The description and picture of Elvira at the end only show a brief part of
the ending, but it surely is enough. I've come to this conclusion after
beating Elvira 2 and finding the same situation. You beat the final
monster, you get an Elvira picture, then a brief description, then the
credits start. If you have any other ideas please write me, I will be happy
to answer to all your questions, and I will insert your comments in the
most recent update.

______________________________________________________________________
SECTION 9.3: MAPS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
For now, the only map present within this FAQ is the Catacombs map. I admit
it, it is quite bad for a 2.2 release of a FAQ, but I've been kinda busy
with school, working on this whenever I had some spare time, so you'll have
to understand. I will try to complete the Ultimate EDT's Elvira I Compendium
before the end of the year, along with the EDT's Elvira 2 FAQ. If you would
like to help with the Elvira 2 FAQ I would appreciate it, especially
if you will be able to help me with the maps, as these are the most
complicated things to make, even though many of them have already been
included within the EDT Wandering in the Dark Elvira II Map Guide.
The same thing applies for the EDT Elvira I and Elvira II Compendiums.
You can contact me at the address written in the CONTACT section.

SECTION 9.4: OTHER ELVIRA GAMES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well, I added this section as a last update for my 2.1 FAQ release. The
purpose for this section is to provide some information on the other games
based on the character Elvira, so that a true fan or collector will not
miss a title and forget to get the game... they are all here!!!

1) Personal Nightmare: First Elvira game. Based in a small village, the
  purpose of the game was to kill the source of all the evil in the
  village. Worked sort of like a horror - detective story. Elvira only
  appeared as the Horrorsoft Logo. Was released in 1988-89 for both Amiga
  and PC, and it was a great success. Very rare now. Might still be found
  in some specialized web sites, however, this is illegal, even though
  Horrorsoft stopped producing the game. An EDT FAQ was written for this
  game in 1999, but it was never released because of some problems with
  the file.

2) Elvira The Arcade Game: Cool game, released by Flair software. While
  sleeping in her mansion, Elvira wakes up during a thunderstorm and
  finds out that some evil wizard has opened a rift to two evil worlds.
  It is Elvira's job do destroy these worlds using her daggers, spells
  and wits in a fun-packed arcade game. Very rare. Again, some sites
  might have the game, it's really hard to find though.

3) Elvira - Mistress of the Dark: Well, this walkthrough was written
  specifically for this game, and the storyline can be found in the
  Introduction section. This game was created in 1990, and it truly
  created the standards for a "special" kind of RPGs. The game is easy
  to order online at the Adventuresoft website, but the floppy version
  is a true collector's item. However, the Official Elvira site might
  still sell copies of the floppy version, along with other cool Elvira
  merchandise! (Last time I checked, they were).

4) Elvira II - The Jaws of Cerberus: The second "official" Elvira game
  was released less than a year after the first one, in the summer of
  1991. However, some major changes were made to make the Elvira
  interface more user-friendly. Therefore, all the writing on the menus
  has been replaced with icons, the fighting system is less mechanical,
  more monsters appear randomly and the spell system has been improved.
  Copy protection is less taxing, only requiring to input a total of
  four codes to play the game. One "major flaw" is the extent of freedom
  left to the user. It is all too easy to screw up... and to be doomed
  for the rest of the game. The plot: Elvira's studios has been taken
  over by the demon Cerberus and the hero, as her boyfriend, must save
  her! Thumbs up! This game can be found in the Adventuresoft Elvira
  Horror Pack, but the floppy version is almost impossible to find. An
  EDT FAQ was released for a few months in 1997-98 but it was later
  removed because of server problems. After some changes it will be
  published once again.

5) Waxworks - Considered by many people as the successor to Elvira II,
  Waxworks, just like Personal Nightmare, does not present Elvira as
  an in-game character, but just as the company logo. The game came
  out in 1993, but not too many people have had the pleasure to try it.
  The storyline is simple and straightforward: the hero has inherited
  from his uncle a place filled up with wax statues and with an ancient
  curse as well... it is the hero's duty to destroy the evil by travelling
  through 4 different waxworks, including pyramids, graveyard and 1920's
  London. This game can be found as the third game included within the
  Elvira Horror Pack, and again, it is almost impossible to find as a
  floppy disk set. Sadly, I have not been able to play this game since
  the CD was messed up, but I'll order a new copy and I will play the game
  (so that I will be able to say that I wrote a FAQ for every single
  Elvira RPG ever existed!)

And... that's it! Horrorsoft did not release any other Elvira games, but
the ones they did release truly changed the face of the RPG gaming world.
Also, the cool Flair Elvira Arcade game provided fresh air for the video
game character, who took an active role in this case!
Congratulations Horrorsoft and Flair! Good job!

SECTION 10: LAST MINUTE LEGAL STUFF / DOCUMENT REFERENCES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I added this section, separated from the Disclaimer, because I think that
all those who helped me in some way deserve to be mentioned in an
appropriate Document Reference section, in order to avoid false accusations
of plagiarism and the like. Again, this work is COMPLETELY MINE! Except
the few sources quoted below, nothing else was used to complete this FAQ.

The sources will be listed along with the amount of information used to
write this FAQ

Tricks 'n Tips Magazine  - Inspired my first FAQ... in 1991. This magazine
                          does not exist anymore... but I am grateful
                          since it introduced me to the world of FAQ
                          writing and... the Elvira world!

VOLUME's 1991 walkthrough - minor reference regarding the "healing spells
                           are very rare" part... however, I beat the game
                           thanks to this walkthrough the VEEERY first
                           time. Thanks VOLUME!

VOLUME (Last Minute Update) - I recently came across his new release of the
                             FAQ... check it out!

Adventuresoft's Book of Spells - A lot... at first. Then I removed the
                                section... wouldn't want to get in trouble
                                just because I put the spells in... from
                                now on, the manual included within the
                                game box will have to be used to mix spells.

Mysterious 1991 "MISSTRESS" guides - Written by GCH, Vilnius, Lithuania,
                                    IDoLL and Wizard, used 4 of their
                                    stats for monsters and based the
                                    catacomb map on theirs. I wrote
                                    "mysterious" since their work has
                                    not been found in any site after 5
                                    years of constant research... I got
                                    them from a friend.(Thanks Yusuf!)
And the rest is... mine!

________________________________________________________________________
SECTION 11: FINAL COMMENTS, SPECIAL THANKS AND CONCLUSION
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I enjoyed writing this FAQ, even though it took away many hours that could
have been spent doing something else (ie. studying). However, being such a
BIG Elvira games fan, I could simply NOT allow only one walkthrough to be
published on the 'net. I give all of my respect to VOLUME, the author of the
1991-2002 Elvira Walkthrough, and I respect the effort put into thid
walkthrough, without which there would not have been a solution to this
game for the past 11 years... but it's time to move on. I think I talked
too much... I wouldn't want to bore you!

I wish to thank the following people for helping me with this FAQ

Erik Di Trani  - without this guy there would not be an EDT Elvira FAQ!
                (or any other EDT products, if you get the hint...)
My dad         - for helping me translate the Latin phrase... 3 years ago!
Alex Pala      - this guy told me Elvira was a good game... in 1996!
                Sardegna Forever! Frontera Forever!
VOLUME         - the 1991 writer who wrote the first Elvira FAQ!
                Way to go, man! Congrats on your 2002 release!
Yusuf Sungurlu - this guy helped me out on the maps and monster stats!
                Thanks a lot, my friend!
GameFaqs Guys  - they run the BEST FAQ website ever... hopefully they'll
                help me by putting this EDT FAQ on their site!

Well, I guess it's over now. However, if you feel that you have to write me
to ask me any questions, write to my email address, with the heading "EDT'S"</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
and I will make sure that your question is included in the latest edition
of the EDT Elvira FAQ (or on the Ultimate EDT's Elvira I Compendium)!
OR, you could always sign up in the English section of the Light Bringers
Forum, at http://www.lightbringers.cjb.net, I'll be happy to answer to your
questions in the Abandonware forums! Time to go now...

It's been fun. I hope this work helps you in some way.

                                                                 Regards
                                                    Erik Di Trani - October 6, 2002
