Shadow of the Beast III

Cheat

Original cheat provided by Keith Krellwitz, abaddon@wwa.com

On the title screen, type "DADDY DRAW THIS FOR ME" and press 'Return'. The shrunken should turn to a smiley face with letters under it. During the game, use the 'Right Cursor' key for invincibility and the 'Left Cursor' key to return to normal.

Notes: The docs incorrectly state that 'F1' is used to scroll through your weapons inventory. Use the 'Space' Bar instead. You must get all artifacts AND gold to complete a level. 'Hit' below refers to shooting a weapon.

Solution

Level 1

You can not move left in the beginning of each level. Start by going right, and hit the lever to go up on the platform. Get the gold, and then hit the crane wheel to bring the platform up. Get the grenade and use it on the four platform guns. To destroy them, get the key from the fourth platform, and then return to the first platform and wait for it to go down. When it does, jump left, and use the key to open the door. Get the gold, and go back right through the platforms. Jump off the edge (don't walk down the ladder), and go right and shoot the piece of meat until it falls off. Push it right until you have it between 1/4 and 1/2 of the way below the swinging spikes. Pick up the key on the way there. Now use the key to open the door to your hungry pal, then quickly jump on the ladder to avoid being trampled. Now it's safe to pass under the spikes, so get the gold. Then jump on the rocket platform, and steer left then straighten out to pick up the boulder. Push the boulder left at the top of the hill until it falls off the ledge. You now must fall off of the ledge with it. Now you have enough weight to tilt platform far enough to the left to make the jump. Go left while shooting the spikes, and fight the leader.

Level 2

Go right, and hit the lower lever to lower the drawbridge. Jump on the right side of the barrel. Then roll the barrel to the left until it connects with the battering-ram. Get in, and go right until you hit the door. Shoot the door to help process along. Duck to avoid the ball launcher and destroy it. Walk over the bees, then blast the suckers. Get the gold. Now, go into the hole, where bees were, and shoot the trap door box on the right side. Fall through the trap door, and go right. Now push the table left into the left room, and jump on it and hit the lever on the left. Now wait until the water rises. Then hit the lever on the right, and wait until the water recedes. Now go right, and get the gold. Next, climb up the ladder, and push the table over the edge. Jump over the edge onto the table. Next, make a running jump off of the table until you reach land (it should require about three jumps and half energy. It does require some practice and perseverance. Perhaps, you can find a better method). Now go right, and keep moving to avoid getting picked by the crane. The best technique to kill crane operator is to jump right, shoot three times, jump left, jump right, shoot three times, etc. until he dies. Now climb the ladder and go to the right. Kill the leader, and get the artifact. Go right to get the gold. Now go all the way to the left and get the gold. Go back to the ladder and go all the way down. Shoot the small door on the left to close the hole. DON'T SHOOT THE GREEN GUY OR THE SMALL DOOR ON THE RIGHT. Now climb the ladder to the crane controls, and use the crane to get the barrel on the top right of the conveyor belt. Get in, hit the switch on the right, then push it down to enclose yourself in the barrel. Now, wait as you are tossed down and pulled over to the second opening. Once you've reached land, get out, and go left. Done!

Level 3

Go right, jump on branches to eagle's nest, and waste on them. Next, go right, and fall off the edge. Now, go right, without moving the table, and shoot the left and right legs off. Next, shoot the head once that is shooting the fireballs, so it falls on left side of the seesaw. Push the seesaw left so the head is aligned vertically with the bird in the cage. Go up the ladder and jump off the landing on the right side of the seesaw. Dong so should free the bird. Get on the top and push the button to get on the bird. Now fly right past the ball slide, and go all the way down the pit. Next, go right, and keep killing the two birds until one of them is holding a hammer. Kill him and then grab the hammer. Climb back up and arrange the levers so that four balls can be dropped on the level with the four spikes. This will plug them up. Now arrange the levers to cause three balls to fall on the level above. Walk right, and get off the bird. Watch your head, as there's a falling block. Now this part is tricky. Use the hammer to push the block to the right on top of the balls, always having two balls underneath it. Rotate the three balls until you have pushed the block all the way to the right. Keep pushing the block with the hammer until you hit the wall. Standing on the third stone and to the right will make the monster come towards you. Kill the leader. Now go right and grab the flask. Go down to the level with the spikes, and jump in the pool of blood. Fill your cup!

Level 4

Go right, but watch for the flame thrower on the steps. Go down the stairs, and use the table and book shelf to get the hammer, which is in the brick at the top. Shoot the left leg of the table, then push the table as far right as it will go. Go upstairs, and shoot the big ball twice. ONLY then do you use the hammer to get it swinging. When it's in full motion, jump on and jump to the right on land. Then shoot the ball with the star as it swings towards the right (for a total of 3 shots), and the ball will break loose and roll down the stairs (if you timed it right) and launch itself from the table ramp into another section. Continue right, and ignore the puzzle (unless you have an hour to kill), go down the first ladder into the crane control room, and use the crane to move the little fish from tank to tank. To grab a fish, submerge the box in the tank, and as the fish passes through box, pull him up out of the water. To release the fish, push the button. Move the fish in tank 1 into tank 3. Then move the round fish in tank 3 to tank 1. Then move the fish in tank 1 into tank 3. Lastly move the fish in tank 3 into tank 2. The remaining fish in tank 2 will not hurt you. Now exit the crane room. It is now safe to go through the water. DON'T JUMP, the spikes on top will instantly kill you. Descend the ladder, and fall through the pit. Push the big ball to the edge, but NOT OVER it. Use the hammer to push the furnace to the left edge. Next, push the ball into the furnace. Go to the top ledge and hit the spikes twice with the star. Then continue hitting the spikes with the hammer until it has gathered enough momentum to the left, that when you give it one last hit with the star, the spikes should break off and fall into the hole at the bottom. You must time this perfectly. Hit the furnace switch and wait. When the block of ice has melted halfway, jump on it and jump right, hitting the door switch. Then jump back on the ice and get the crystal. Now go right and destroy the other block of ice with the hammer or star. Ensure that you're under the crystal when breaking the ice, otherwise the crystal will break from the impact. You've completed Level 4. Now you move on to fight Maletoth. What a wimp! Go right and watch him rise from the water and blast the son of a bitch. THE END.
