ADVENTURE SOLUTION: ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK
by Math Claessens
If you play the game for the first time, walk around and draw a
map from the locations and give them a name. I will tell you
what to do in each location.
You must find six gold keys, fight with guards, monks and other
creatures. You can get more life with the wooden heart that
Elvira gives to you. You can find with a sword but you can also
use spells. You can make spells and a wooden heart as well. You
can also get more strength by making spells. Format a save game
disk before you start playing. Save your game many times!
Here, you will get a list of ingredients you'll need, and where
you can find them. The recipe book is, of course, in the
program's manual!
