Tombs & Treasure/Walkthrough

Introduction
Prof. Imes was an expert on ancient Mayan writing. He read in an old book that the mythical Sun Key was hidden at Chichen Itza & set out to discover it. Prof. Imes' daughter was a close friend. Since it was summer vacation, we decided to go to Mexico to solve the mystery of his disappearance.

Starting a new game
You begin inside the professor's laboratory where his secretary Anne is waiting.
 * LOOK at anything:Anne will introduce herself. She tells you that the professor's notes and a few artifacts were found in the Well of Sacrifice, in the north of the ruins.  The well had been emptied of water somehow, but it was rapidly filling up.  There was more treasure with the note, but they could only recover the notes and the items on the desk.  The guide Jose can tell you more and is on his way.

 * TAKE the Silver Key
 * TAKE the Sword
 * LOOK at the Notebook:You can only read parts of some passages:
 * "I must have the Sun Necklace to continue. I found it in the Warrior's Temple, but it was too dirty to show the sun's position..."
 * "...Who would have guessed there was a trick like that in El Castillo pyramid. There's a mountain of treasure..."
 * "...There are demons in the ruins, three men have already been killed..."
 * "...the demons, I must get the sword of..."
 * "...lost another man. We seem to have accidentally released the demons that were sealed in here by the ancient Mayans.  My only chance is to defeat the demon Tentacula, but first I must find the Sun Key..."
 * GO ⇓


 * LOOK at Jose:He introduces himself and tells you that he worked with the professor. He doesn't know what happened to him.  He regrets not being able to find the Sun Key.  He confirms that they found the Sun Necklace in the Warrior's Temple, but that the demons appear to have put everything back as it was.  He tells you that you'll want to go to the High Priest's Tomb to find the mosaic tile that will open the door to the treasure room.  Before you do that, you should go to the Nunnery and find the Ixmol Jewel, which gives you a password so that you can continue your game.

 * LOOK at the Tall Flask: You'll notice something shiny inside that you can't get out.
 * SMASH the Tall Flask: The girl will discover a ring with a stunning jewel that fits on her finger perfectly. Jose explains that it's the Ring of Itza, which is said to have the power to defeat evil.  He doesn't know what use it will be, but suggests that you do not lose it.
 * MOVE the Gold Pile: Looking through the gold, you find a red jewel. Jose explains that it looks like the legendary jewel that the professor was searching for.  The girl adds the professor said that, used in a one-eyed mask, it would make secrets become visible.  Jose continues saying that, used on a sword, it would create a magical power.
 * LOOK at the Stone Box: You find tiles inside, but you can't understand them.
 * JOIN the Red Jewel and the One-eyed Mask.

Back to the Temple of Warriors
Now that you can tell time, you will know when it's noon. As one of the tablets in El Castillo illustrated, if you play a sound a noon, the jaguar will become a statue. Enter the temple and wait until it attack you.

 * TAKE the Blue Jewel: Like the Red Jewel, this jewel can be joined with the mask and the sword.
 * JOIN the Blue Jewel and the Sword

 * JOIN the Small Rod and the Shallow Bowl: This will make a compass and allow you to find your way through the corridors.
 * USE the Shallow Bowl: You follow the compass until you reach a small room with a stand in the middle that holds a small jewel. You should also notice two exits from this room.  You came through the right door, but the left door was created when you took the blue block.  If you do not see two exits, then you will be stuck here forever, unable to complete the game.
 * LOOK at the Akbal Jewel: It is said that this jewel has the ability to rob demons of their power.
 * TAKE the Akbal Jewel: The door that you just came through, the right door, will slam shut, but the left door should remain open.
 * GO ⇐: From here, if you go forward, you will find that it's too dark to continue. Furthermore, if you examine the wall, Jose will explain that you might be able to see something if you had a mask.  However, no combination of the One-eyed Mask with either jewel will produce any results, so he must be referring to a different mask.
 * GO ⇓
 * TAKE the Stone Pawl: This will cause the path to the corridor beyond to close behind you. Attempting to replace the pawl will have no effect.  However, you need this pawl to continue, so take it with you.
 * GO ⇓

The next step
At this point, it isn't entirely clear where you should visit next. However, having obtained the Blue Block, there is a location where you might be able to place this block. Return to El Castillo.
 * PUT the Blue Block: Doing so will cause an entrance to appear in the floor.

 * PUT the Stone Pawl: The Pawl will attach to the shaft.

The Well of Sacrifice
There are two bodies of water in the game. You have visited the Well of Paradise, but now it's time to check the Well of Sacrifice, to the east of the Temple of Warriors. If you visited it earlier, you have seen the well full of water. But now when you visit, it is empty.
 * GO downstairs: Before you enter, Jose warns you that people who entered the well were trapped by a Crystal Prison and light, and tells you to make sure you have the Crystal Key and a mirror. To fight the demons, you'll need the blue jewel and the Akbal jewel.  You should have all of these items.
 * GO downstairs: Jose will suggest that the girl should wait behind. But the girl does not want to be alone, so Jose stays with her, sending you in alone.

 * USE the Crystal Key: The key will open the coffin.
 * TAKE the Two-eyed Mask
 * GO ⇓: The light is gone, rendering any chance of escape hopeless if you did not already use the mirror.
 * GO ⇑: You will now find yourself back in the room below the treasure room of El Castillo.
 * GO upstairs
 * GO ⇓
 * GO ⇓

Return to the Well
When you arrive, you will find Jose lying unconscious on the ground, and the girl will be nowhere in sight.
 * LOOK at Jose: He will wake up.
 * LOOK at Jose: Jose will explain that some group kidnapped the girl, and that they took her to their lair, somewhere in Ball Court.
 * GO ⇓

Getting back into Ball Court
When you left Ball Court, you took the Stone Pawl which was keeping the entrance to the corridor open. With the pawl gone, the entrance is shut. However, there is still another way to enter the court. If you remember, you had to travel through the High Priest Tomb in order to reach the passages below Ball Court. Return to the tomb now and retrace your steps.
 * GO ⇒
 * GO downstairs
 * USE the Shallow Bowl: You will return to the room where you obtained the Akbal Jewel.

 * USE the Large Flask: Jose will turn into a demon Scareface and demand the flask! He will explain that it was his friends who kidnapped the girl, and that all he needs is the Sun Key in order to rule the world.  He plans to defeat Tentacula himself, and kill you too.
 * USE the Akbal Jewel: You'll need to do this in order to harm Scareface.
 * FIGHT Scareface: Even if you've done everything right, this fight can be a close call. Leave the room and come back to try again if you get too close to dying.  You will retrieve the Ring of Itza upon defeating him.
 * USE the Large Flask: This time, you will shrink down to the size of the temple.
 * GO ⇑: You will enter the temple. There is a keyhole on the left.
 * USE the Silver Key: The whole temple will shake. It is now unlocked.
 * GO ⇓
 * USE the Small Flask: You will return to your normal size.
 * MOVE the Temple: Unfortunately, even after using the Silver Key, the Sun Key is still not quite accessible from the Temple. You have to move it first in order to open the doors.
 * TAKE the Sun Key: The scene will immediately change, the room will shake, and you will find yourself in the Shrine of Tentacula.

The Shrine of Tentacula
It looks like you found the girl, who is lying on the stand in the back.
 * LOOK at anything: Tentacula will appear before you.
 * USE the Akbal Jewel: As usual, you need this to harm Tentacula.
 * USE the Itza Ring: This is also necessary to protect you from harm.
 * FIGHT Tentacula: This fight will go on for a considerable amount of time, primarily due to the frequent dodging of attacks on both of your parts.
 * LOOK at the Stand: You will find the girl lying down.
 * LOOK at her Face: You will notice that she's not dead, but merely in a deep sleep. You'll need to use the Censer to wake her.

 * PUT the Censer: You will place the Censer on the floor.
 * PUT the Incense: You will place the Incense in the Censer.
 * USE the Lighter: You will light the Incense and it will give off a pleasant smell. It will wake the girl from her sleep.  After you catch her up on the details, she will instruct you to use the Sun Key.
 * USE the Sun Key: The shrine will begin to collapse, and the ending to the game will begin. Congratulations.
