Friday the 13th
Forest and Cave Maps and Guides
by storko
ok, if anyone has ever played Friday the 13th for NES, you will know
that the forests and caves are nearly impossible to navigate. It
stinks when Jason is attacking the children and you are lost
in the forest. Plus, you may have not found (or known about) the
second cabin in the northern forest, or the extra weapons
in the cave.
But say hooray! Cause This FAQ will provide maps and directions
that will save you time and patience when you play the great game
of Friday the 13th.

I. HOW TO READ THESE MAPS
ok, since the forests in Friday the 13th are very confusing, the maps for
them are kinda tricky, but this was the easiest way that I could think of to
make them.
I recommend printing out the maps and drawing arrows. it will make them
easier to read.
SAMPLE MAP:
{A}
|
--[b]----------------------[a]---------
| |
(exit) {B}
the dashed line (------) represents the main pathway. the main pathway
"wraps-around" so if you walk off the right side of the map, you will
go to the left and vice versa.
say you start on the left side of the sample map and take the
first upward path ending in {A}. this will drop you off at point [a]
at the right side of the map. get it? so if you take a path to an
uppercase letter, it will warp you to its corresponding lowercase letter.
FOR THE CAVE MAP ONLY!
the cave is not as complicated as the forests so I am using a simpler
method for the map. in the cave, {A} will lead to the other {A},
{B} will lead to the other {B} and so on.
also,
low floor: -----------
medium floor: ===========
high floor: ^^^^^^^^^^^
now, onto the maps!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. NORTHERN FOREST MAP
this is the forest on the top of your screen in the main map of
crystal lake. the one with two (there's two!) cabins.
{F}
|
---[a]--------------[b]-------------------------------------------
| |
(north exit) {D}
(cabin1) {B}
| |
--[c]---------------[d]-------------------------------------------
|
{H}
{H} (cabin2)
| |
---[e]--------------------------------[f]-------------------------
|
{A}
{C}
|
---[g]--------------[h]-------------------------------------------
| |
{E} (south exit)
quick directions for lazy people:
FROM NORTH TO CABIN1: go left and down the next path, then
left and up the next path.
TO GET BACK: go left and up next path, left and down next path.
FROM SOUTH to CABIN2: go left and up next path, right and up next path.
TO GET BACK: go left and up next path, left and down next path.
That's all the directions I give! read the map otherwise.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
III. SOUTHERN FOREST MAP
this is the forest at the bottom of the main map. only one cabin here.
{E}
|
---[a]--------------[b]--------------[c]------------------
| |
(north exit) {D}
(cabin) {B}
| |
-------------------------------------[d]------------------
|
{F}
{G} {A}
| |
---[e]-------------------------------[f]------------------
|
{C}
{C}
|
--------------------[g]-----------------------------------
| |
{F} (south exit)
quick directions for lazy people:
FROM NORTH TO CABIN: go right and down the next path,
then right and up the next path.
TO GET BACK: go right and up the next path, then down immediately.
now seriously, if I gave you all the directions, my maps would
be pointless.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IV. CAVE MAP
remember, you need a flashlight to see all the pathways in the cave.
also, remember that on this map: {A} goes to {A} etc.
(mother & axe) {C}
| |
------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^------
| |
{A} {B}
{C} (mother & machete)
| |
-----------------------------------------------------
| |
{B} {D}
(mother) {A}
| |
^^^------- ---- --------------- ========= -------^^^
| |
(exit) {D}
you'll notice there are three places where you can fight Jason's mother.
two of these rooms have extra weapons (you must turn to the left or right
to see them.) HOWEVER, once you defeat Jason's mother and she leaves an
item, you may only pick up one of the items in the room. the other
will disappear. so I recommend that you fight his mother in
the first room (nearest the exit, where it's just her) and then
go back for the other weapons.
quick directions for lazy people:
TO JUST MOTHER: go left and take the first upward path.
TO MOTHER & MACHETE: go right and take the first downward path,
then right and first upward path.
TO MOTHER & AXE: go up the first path on the right, then up the
next path on the left
TO GET BACK FORM ANY OF THESE: retrace your steps.
or maybe I'm just lazy for not writing out all the directions...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
well, that is all. I hope this makes the great game of Friday the 13th a
bit less of a headache.
