I loved Ravenskull... The puzzles are devious and the correct route is not always obvious but you know instinctively when you're on the right trail. Read Review
Ravelskull Castle consists of 4 levels, each exactly 64 times the size of the screen. To complete the adventure, you must work your way through each of the 4 levels collecting the treasure you find and assembling the mystical silver crucifix. Each levels holds one part of the crucifix; you may pick this up only after you have found all the treasure on that level. You are able to pick up various objects throughout the castle.
Most of these objects are helpful to you, but some are a hindrance and some are even deadly!
After picking up an object, you may attempt to utilise it by following this procedure: (a) check that the object is positioned in your hand by using the "<" and ">" keys; (b) press the RETURN key to use the object. Some items may only be used in certain locations. You must logically deduce where and when you should use each item.
Ravenbees | - | The deadly castle guardians |
Acid Pools, Spiked Disks, Man-Eating Plants | - | Contact with these is fatal |
Spiked Gates, Cell Doors/Bars | - | Some of these can only be opened with a key |
Wooden Casks | - | They may be pushed, but only after the player has a Strength Scroll |
Time Door | - | An enchanted door which opens and closes by itself regularly |
Time Shaft | - | A special area on the final level. The last part of the crucifix has been carefully hidden by Baron Strieg in another dimension |
By pushing 4 wooden casks into its 4 alcoves, the time shaft can be opened, revealing the last part of the crucifix. Other castle objects include : coffins, earth, stone pillars and the treasure.
These objects may be picked up, used and dropped as explained earlier. The quest objects include : keys, pick-axes, dynamite, detonators, scythes, spades, hand-axes, bows and arrows, bells, food and wine (Beware! it may be poisoness or have strange side-effects), magical scrolls and potions.
